Timo Italian is Closing...

Lunch at Timo today was more than satisfying. It is restaurant standard at hawker pricing - and i'm very grateful for it.

Smiley Chef Jun greeted us amid his busy cooking for his group of faithful regulars. Their humble signboard says it all, "Mini Italian Taste".

Spaghetti Aglio Olio ($4)

‘Aglio’, in Italian, means garlic, and ‘olio’ means olive - the dish here speaks volume of it, with fragrance that lingers on long after my meal. Yum, yum... Not to mention the al dente pasta with its generous toppings of mushrooms and Italian Sausages.


Hawaiian Pizza ($6.50)

A delightful serving style with spoonful of Parmesan cheese and chili flakes! You've gotta sprinkle it all on the oven hot, thin crusted pizza; the chilli flakes is especially aromatic.

Succulent baked pineapple and Italian sausages topped with that extra layer of soft melting cheese is ever so tempting. I'm gonna to eat with my hands ;)


Chocolate Lava Cake ($3.50)

It's a bitter-sweet baked dessert with perfect oozing liquid center that literally melts in your mouth, teamed with sourly-sweet raspberry ice-cream and pineapple bits - it's a match in heaven.

All thanks to fellow netizen for introducing me to 'Timo'.

It's better late than never, as they would be closing on 28 September '08.

I shall definitely catch them again before their last.
Location plays a vital role in the dining businesses. Maxwell Food Centre, being home to much renowned local food is hard to beat with doves of families coming for the traditional Chinese dining in mind.

The high rental rates at $2700+ per month and newly in-operation ERP charged gantry does no help to the situation.
