Some 4 weeks ago, I was at the Fort checking out a wine and garlic restaurant that showcases garlic-themed dishes using different varieties of garlic and cuts. There are other specialty ingredient restaurants in the Metro but Mad for Garlic tries to separate itself by infusing Italian cuisine with Asian flavors.
Opening its garlic-infused concept restaurant 13 years ago in Korea, Mad for Garlic is actually a local franchise but is available across different locations in Korea, Jakarta and Singapore. The restaurant uses both Korean garlic and the local garlic varieties. Their menu has a selection of pasta, pizza, salads, rice dishes, steaks and other entrees.

Dracula Killer P195
The item that could kill Edward Cullen with a kiss – choice garlic cooked in olive oil and with anchovies. This starter is served with garlic buttered bread which is good with the garlic barbed with salty shade of the anchovies.
Gorgonzola Pizza with Honey Dip
One of their bestsellers, Mad for Garlic’s Gorgonzola Pizza is topped with Italian Gorgonzola cheese and served with honey dipping sauce. It was an easy buy-in for me. I enjoyed eating the thin pizza and loved the Gorgonzola cheese’s strong flavor, which was similar to Bleu Cheese only creamier and softer, its sharpness unresisting but mellowed by the honey.
It looks pretty simple but had lovely flavors. I could eat one whole order of this on my own.
