La Cantina in Venezia
La Cantina in Venezia is an Italian restaurant located on the top floor of Changi Meridien hotel. The restaurant overlooks a lot of greenery and the sea and one can see ships going by and aeroplanes taking off. On a cool and breezy day/night, sitting outside on the patio is the best thing to do.
We were there for desserts after the seafood dinner at Tekong Seafood Restaurant. The three desserts here from left are the peach gelato, the pineapple gelato and the lemon gelato. They were so cute--served in the fruit itself.
The two chocolate-coated profiteroles weren't very good. I didn't quite like it as there was too much fresh cream in it. All that chocolate sauce was a bit too heavy too.
This was the Amaretto ice cream coated with amaretto sugar bits. My cousin who had it complained that it was way too sweet.
The mandarin gelato served in a cute frosted orange.
My tiramisu. Not bad, but thought the one I had at Esmirada was better. Overall, I thought the desserts, though acceptable, weren't that fantastic but another cousin said that the mains are pretty good so I'll probably go there again to try it just 'cos I like the place so much!
The rooftop pool just outside the restaurant. It looked so inviting!

Could be a big plus for eating there, a big minus for staying there...
Posted by: Rodney at February 9, 2006 2:09 PMwell, you can't really see the planes taking off from the runway itself, but you can see the planes as it's making its ascend after it has taken off from the runway.
And the noise levels aren't that bad. Really.
