The Naughty Chef

We ordered the pork belly risotto and the alfredo pizza, while the spacious Bedok Marketplace was basking with the warmth of a late sun.... Risotto was no match for the antipation built up from reading its Google reviews. The pork belly may benefit from outsourcing to the many excellent roast meat specialists in Singapore. The rice was infused with adequate quality cheese but a tad too grainy for my taste. The portion is not meant for value. The pizza is a hit! Definitely among our top 3 must-eat pizza joints. The other is its neighbour, Mr Kneadly. The alfredo sauce came through coating a smokey, crispy crust. We were tempted to order more but the portion was generous. TNC is a definite must return. Will try the rest of its extensive menu.

Although we didnt order their pizza or pasta dishes, the other sandwiches & serving platters are not bad! We ordered the pulled pork brioche, beef lasagna and deep fried baby octopus! It was all pretty decent, although slightly pricy for the amount of baby octopus served.

The shop has expanded from one stall to take over another larger stall, which should be a sign of their popularity. Ordered the rosemary pork chop which comes with fries, salad as well as mushroom sauce. The portion is rather small actually if you are hungry, but the meat was well marinated. Fries were crispy too.

LONG WAIT TIME - RUDE STAFF - FOOD WAY BELOW EXPECTATIONS Imagine a 30+ min wait for Pasta and Risotto... (ordered at around 6.15) Requested for more sauce and the cashier mentioned that she has to check with the chef and I might need to come back to pay more. I'm fine with that but overall, the prawns in the pasta were not fresh and beyond charred. Risotto was also dry and tasted like hard rice in gravy (refer to photo). Charging $35 for this lackluster standard is disappointing. And seeing the way the chef at the pick-up point addresses customers, will not be visiting them anymore.

Loved the authentic mushroom soup and the garlic bread. Appreciate the quality and the standard on preparing the dishes and the generous portion. Looking forward to come back try other dishes again.

Affordable pizza freshly baked upon order. Thin crunchy crust, flavourful sauce base and tons of cheese! What not to like! IMO, great pizza! Yet to try their other items on menu. A cool place to hangout after work.

I enjoyed their pizza! Portion is quite big so you might want to share. Price is much more expensive than your average hawker food but the quality is excellent so i didn’t mind paying more for the quality. Their chocolate drink was normal. Overall good experience. Waiting time was around 20 minutes.

Been here a couple of times. Pretty decent Italian fare for a reasonable price. It is by no means cheap, but you can have a taste of less familiar Italian dishes like gnocchi and authentic lasagna without burning a large hole in your wallet. Had the beef cheek gnocchi once, and it was delightful. The sauce is rich, beefy and packed with umami and the truffle really adds a punch of earthiness that brings the dish to the next level. The gnocchi dumplings were soft and fluffy and the sauce clings nicely to them. A more recent dish I tried was the pork belly risotto. The risotto was a bit dry compared to expectation, but the rice was fluffy and really absorbed the mushroom flavour completely. The Italian pork belly is familiar to us Singaporeans as HK roast pork done really well, with a touch of Italian herbs. What I really liked about the packet of food was the heftiness of the dish. Overall, it was really filling, not skimping in any way of the meat. Every bite of the mushroom-flavoured rice was easily accompanied by a bite of either juicy pork, melt-in-your-mouth fat or crispy pork skin.
