Yellow Cab Pizza Co - A Nice Place to Chill Out with Friends @ CityLink Mall [Singapore] #yellowcabpizzaco #citylinkmall

One of my good friends got attached recently and although our usual meetups were at my house where this specific group can bake and movie-binge the entire day; we thought it would be better to meet the "boyfriend" at a neutral location so as not to scare him off.

Someone suggested Yellow Cab Pizza Co in town and since i didn't even know where it was; i guess it would make sense for me to blog about it, given my posts nowadays seldom focus on new eateries in Singapore.

Limited indoor, air-conditioned seating and we had no choice but to take the outdoor area. There are two words to describe the recent weather in Singapore; insanely hot! Thankfully, the eatery had a few huge ass mist fans to reduce our discomfort.

Interesting; bar seats with bicycle handle for the backing!

Complimentary water from the dispenser; a necessity in this freakish weather! Just help yourself to the glass cups. If you prefer bottled water with a cup of ice, it's available at a charge.

Waiting for our food - see that stand with the yellow cab plate? That's not only for decoration; it actually also acts as a holder stand for the pizzas! 

Truffle Fries - a must-order whenever we see it on the menu. Sadly, i found the fries oily and could have been crispier. It would also have helped if the chef were more generous with the truffle oil.

Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta - this was delightful and more an Asian fusion pasta that tasted rather similar to Chinese style mee goreng with roasted peanuts; savoury and appetising!

Aglio Olio - compared to Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta, this was a lot muted in flavour and didn't throw up any surprises from your usual plate of aglio olio.

Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza - at 14 inches, this medium-sized pizza came in either regular or thin crust. It didn't look much from the picture but we should have taken the advice from Ms Chan to order a regular and a medium and not two medium pizzas!

Four Seasons Pizza - sorry, didn't manage to take a good shot of the second pizza which consisted of 4 flavours; NY Classic, #4 Cheese, Hawaiian and Roasted Garlic and Shrimp! Taste wise, i can't say they are the best pizzas i had but definitely decent enough for me to wolf down four slices! I was most disappointed with the roasted garlic and shrimp as i thought it could fight the garlic pizza from Mad for Garlic; well, not a chance!

=====

In a nutshell, i thought this is a great place to meet up with friends on a Friday night. Food wasn't terribly expensive given the presumably high rent commanded in that area; service was pretty good (no service charge imposed by the way) and the outdoor ambience actually makes me feel that i am not in downtown Singapore.
