best flat bread in town

Osia's warm inviting interior paints a stark contrast to its next door neighbour, Kunio, a high end Japanese Kaiseiki restaurant with eye-opening prices which start in the hundreds per person. Its prices too, are on the other end of the spectrum. The brainchild of famous Chef Webster, it boasts an open plan kitchen that allows us a peek into the bustle of culinary expertise as the smell of freshly baked bread wafts through the air.

It is a Saturday night and the restaurant is at full capacity and I'm fortunate I managed to make reservations only 2 days in advance. The atmosphere is relaxed and chatter fills the restaurant, only adding to its cosy interiors. Having skipped lunch, I could have eaten a cow and I was impatient to get some food in my stomach. The waitress very kindly suggested some stonehearth flat bread to help abate my hunger and I nodded in agreement without really thinking.

Mind you, I'm not a fan of olives, so when I realised what I'd ordered when it arrived, I wasn't particularly pleased with myself. I was not very keen to taste it but my stomach protested loudly. I very reluctantly shoved a small piece in my mouth, but the flavours that greeted me, were divine. Yes divine. I could barely even notice the olives, The bread with soft yet crunchy with the right bite and it was flavourful without overwhelming. Too add on to the oomph factor, it came with squeezy tubes of topping and let's just say I wasn't in much of a mood to share my cream cheese spread with anyone else at the table.



Black Olive Rosemary Stonehearth Flat Bread. Must have. It shut the chatty pig up right away. Need I say more?

I'd left my partner to order my appetisers and main course for me since he already knew what I was craving and when by the time my Ice experience arrived, I was back to being a happy pig instead of a grumpy hungry one, but thats a story for another day..
