A Hidden Gem of Hearty Italian Food in Clover Way

Homemade pasta demo by Chef Francis Quoh

Chef Francis Quoh has a simple philosophy about his food, and that is to keep it real. Always.

Follia’s Italian fare is testimony to this philosophy with everything on the menu prepared by hand from scratch with only the freshest and finest ingredients. From the crusty hand-stretched pizza bread and the pastas cooked al dente, to mouth-watering mains and unforgettable desserts, dining at Follia is always a hearty and unpretentious affair.

Media Tasting Menu
15th September 2015

A typical Italian meal consists of minimally six to seven courses, from appetizers and antipasti to mains and dessert.


Pane : (Bread)
Pane Pizza Aglio

Freshly hand-stretched pizza bread, mixed herbs, olive oil, and sprinkled with fluer de sel.

Fleur de sel ("flower of salt" in French; French pronunciation: ​[flœʁ də sɛl]), flor de sal (in Portuguese), or flor de sal (in Spanish and Catalan) is a hand-harvested sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large salt pans


This pizza bread tasted delicious, simply love the fragrant of herbs. 
Olive oil has been a symbol of italian food and of the history of italian cuisine for the longest time. 
The main type of fat found in all kinds of olive oil is monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). MUFAs are actually considered a healthy dietary fat. If your diet replaces saturated and trans fats with unsaturated fats such as MUFAs and polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), you may gain certain health benefits.



1st Course: (Appetizer)
Patate Pancetta e Taleggio

Shallow-fried patate purea, filled with sauteed onions, bacon, ham and taleggio, served with cheese sauce, mesclun, balsamic vinaigrette, and cherry tomatoes. 

This appetizer is one of their signature specialities. To start the meal consists of potatoes layered with onion, bacon, ham and taleggio cheese shallow fried and baked to golden perfection, this is a perfect dish for potato lovers, with a glass of white wine, is heaven to me :)




grapes, roa2nd course: (Salad)
Smoked Duck, Gorgonzola& Poached Pear

Dressed with arugula, orange segments, cherry tomatoes, grapes, roasted walnuts, drizzled with vinaigrette.

This is one of my favourite dish among all dishes.

3rd course: (Soup)–New item
Zuppa di vongole e cozze

Classic Tuscany clams & mussels soup, cooked with clam juice, tomatoes, vegetables & herbs, drizzled with basil pesto.

The clams and mussels were very fresh, but I still prefer in white wine soup (if there is a choice for me)




4th course: (Pasta)
Squid ink Tagliatelle

Assorted seafood cooked in squid ink sauce, tossed with squid ink pasta, dressed with chargrilled squid, basil, parsley & cherry tomatoes

This is super delicious!!! As I am a seafood lover, this is hand-made daily with the main ingredient imported from Italy. The result is a fragrant infusion of murky goodness dressed with tender, char grilled squid, basil, parsley and cherry tomatoes.

The bad point about having a squid ink pasta is -- it would stain your mouth :D not ideal for a date :p


5th course: (Meat)
Ossobuco alla Milanese

Braised veal shank, dressed on a bed of saffron risotto,served with rosemary foccacia

This is Follia’s star recommendation. Braised for no less than 4 hours, the veal shank is fall-off-the-bone by the time it is plated and served on a bed of saffron risotto. Don’t forget to polish off the sauce with the accompanying large slice of freshly baked bread. YUMMY!


  

6th course: (Chicken)–New item
Pollo alla Diavola

Boneless chicken leg, marinated in chilli pepper, lemon juice & smoked paprika, seasoned with sea salt and chargrilled to perfection, served with mesclun, roasted potato wedges, saute mushroom, semi-roasted cherry tomatoes, & lemon wedges.

One of my favourite dish as well as I love spicy food. 


7th Course: (Desserts)
Panna Cotta

Kirsch rum infused panna cotta dressed withorange reductions and assorted berries.

Do not leave Follia without finishing with dessert. For something lighter, try the silky smooth Kirsch rum infused Panna Cotta dressed with orange reductions and assorted berries.




Tiramisu

A true Italian classic, made with lady finger biscuit, dipped in liqueur& double espresso, layered with mascarpone & dustedwith cocoa powder, served with espresso coffee cream & berries.

I always love Tiramisu..







Highly recommended to this hearty Italian Restaurant. You should not miss if you love good Italian cuisine.
