It's always good to revisit an old favourite and this time that old favourite was Brando's pizzeria. I was first introduced to Brando's back in my uni days. I remember coming to this restaurant in a big group and we'd be seated on a row of tables that always seemed too small anyway! Ahh, good memories. Other memories I had of Brando's was of course of their pizzas. We always ended up leaving Brando's with happy tummies.
Well this time, we were not feeling particularly nostalgic. But we were craving for some pizza and I just happened to be scrolling through the Entertainment book and, lo and behold, we landed on Brando's!

| Penne Pollo ($26) |
One of the menu items that attracted me was the penne pollo. I can never go past a creamy, rich pasta dish. And this was was certainly creamy and rich. The penne was perfectly al dente and the chicken looked dry, but it was far from it, it was juicy. The sauce was, of course, my favourite part. It was tasty, it was cheesy and there was plenty of it. It's one of those, not-so-fancy, but oh-so-satisfying pasta dish!

| Carnivore Pizza (Large $26) |
We also ordered one pizza dish, as it was originally, what we came for! As the name suggests, the carnivore pizza was nothing nothing more than meat with some pizza base, and cheese. This is a meat lover's dream come true. As the pizza was covered with cured meats, it was a little bit too salty at times, but fortunately the tomato sauce base helped with its sweetness and acidity.
Our short-but-sweet visit to Brando's has reminded us why we used to enjoy visiting here so much. This time my favourite dish was the penne pollo, but I wouldn't say no to any of their pizzas though! This place is definitely not fancy or fine dining by any means, but it's good for a casual, tasty dinner.
