Cruisin' the world together

After Alvin and I watched James Ingrams’ concert at Esplanade for our pre-Valentine and pre-9th year anniversary celebration, we dinedat Al Dente Trattoria. The place has Rooftop Terrace for alfresco dining. The view from the rooftop is lovely; one can have a good view of the bright Singapore skyline. It will probably become better once Marina Sands is completed. Al Dente presents the best of Italian cooking with a la carte menu. It serves all time traditional favorites from various regional and provincial cooking of Italy.
