Homemede bread with tomato sauce and vinegar / oliva oil. Bread is not
hot enough. There is a big gap between this and the very pleasing bread
basket in Sabatini.
Fruity Chardonnay Champagne. It is a gratifying experience to dine in an Italian restaurant with elegant setting.
Crab is promoted, we order this Alaska Crab Salad appetizer.
Underneath is jelly with apple flavor, together with a slightly sweet
and sour sauce.
'Duck Consomme' is a clear soup and is highly recommended to order, in
a sense that the flavor is very concentrated and good in tasty.
Immersed in the soup are nearly fully boiled egg and ravioli (stuffed
with duck liver).
Fish fillet (Barramundi) w/ herbs. Meat texture is not particularly
bouncy, it has a relatively stronger flavor of fish. The sauce at the
bottom is a mixture of tomato, olive and others.
'Angel
Hair w/ Lobster in Tomato Sauce'. Basically I do not like angel hair
pasta very much. In Scala, it is needed to test their cooking skill by
ordering angel hair. Angel hair pasta is not very al dente (it is
originally not a very al dente pasta), but the texture is nearly cooked to perfection.
Lobster of freshest quality is served, such outstanding quality can
only be tried in restaurant of 5 Star hotel (but it is not a must). We
can still sense the smell of sea water. It is a pasta of highest
quality.
'Beef Risotto' is presented in a hotel restaurant style. This is an enticing smell when it is served.
Risotto is al dente, this is expected. Beef is like bisket, it is soft
and to an extent that it is a bit too soft. If it is not so soft, with
such taste, it is also a risotto of very high mark.
Molten Chocolate Cake is surely in a presentable manner. It is served
with ice-cream of Lychee flavor, and surrounded by strawberry and
Raspberry.
If it is baked with 20 seconds less, it would be more molten.

Scala
gives us an impression that it is an Italian restaurant in a 5 Star
Hotel. It is really so in all aspects, except that the dining
environment is a little small. If there are high-pitch diners at the
next table, it would be an annoying meal. In area of service, decoration, lighting, food taste and quality, they all can get high rating.
We
order fish, crab, pasta, risotto, wine and dessert. Dish portion is not
very large. Though we order seem-to-be a bit more, it is in fact just
enough for us. Food material and taste are fresh and of very high level respectively. They prepare all items with high quality
attainable. It is a restaurant with food quality comparable to that in
Sabatini, in our mind.
