I travel quite often to the states and one of the best finds of halal food places I found there was the Brick Dome Pizza.  It tastes so different from the typical pizza’s we have had in Singapore, with pesto chicken pizza  and so much more. ‘Nuff said, I’ll be back there again. Owners are Muslim, Algerian if I’m not wrong, coz they were speaking in French in the kitchen. But the pizzas nontheless were tres fantastique!

I turned 28 on the 14th and my brother treated me to dinner at Badoque, a Halal cafe serving yummy Italian food. We started with tapas: gambas pils-pils, calamari and baked mussels. We tried the combo brushetta, different types of bruschetta with toppings like the classic tomato/garlic/basil, prawns with bechamel, mushrooms with bechamel, simply sedap. We had also tried the Steak Pizaioli, Lamb Shank, and the snapper with a really yummy citrusy sauce on a bed of greens and the tortelli and pizzarotti..really yummy fillings. I had hoped for gnocchi, cause I hadn’t had fresh ones in a long while since my last visit to Rome. What was really outstanding was the lamb shanks cooked in bamia style, gazillions yummier then other lamb shanks being offered in other restaurants. The meat practically fell of the bone and melts in your mouth. We had to try the tortelli with the lobster filling and the pizzaroti with the mushrooms and cheese filling, scrumptious. The deserts were superb, we tried mango gelato with summerberry sauce which was served with half a ladysfinger biscuit..yummy! We requested for a selection of 12 slice of cakes, so cute and so tasty especially the mango mousse. The service is fantastic and the decor so cozy and chic at the same time.I know I’ll be back there to try the other dishes on the menu.
