Paparazzi

just another day's work...

Who says lunch meetings can't be fun?
It definitely can be especially when you have the chef's lunch special at Paparazzi!

(photo above)
Calamari with stuffed eggplant

Really liked the freshness of the cheese filling of the eggplant and the superbly tender calamari serve with a very subdued aioli 





Mushroom Bisque

a very rich, boldly flavoured soup
actually wanted a second helping haha





  
Osso Bucco with mashed potatoes

Tender leg of beef magnificently flavoured with Italian herbs and spices




 

and for dessert..
Chef Robby's Special Gelato

The BEST gelato I've had!!

I can't explain how the gelato was incredibly creamy, almost velvety in texture, but still was able to maintain a certain lightness which goes well with the zesty flavors with an underlying note which I believe is mango. 

serving this on a bed of crushed, roasted nuts was just genius!!


What an amazing lunch! Now if I could only get that gelato by the gallon....


Have a good one!
