I've been wanting to visit Thirty9, an Italian restaurant in the cosy Duxton Hill enclave that is right next door to Latteria Mozzarella Bar, for a while now after hearing my friend rave about the baked red snapper. So I finally made it there on a random weekday catch up with a girl friend! The place was quite empty at 7.30pm on a weekday. It's evident that F&B restaurants in the Duxton Rd/Hill area are struggling somewhat. Nonetheless, it was nice and quiet, which suits us perfectly.
No food smell despite being near the kitchen window. The AC was not very strong though.
Here is the menu, which contains a lot of mouthwatering options. However, I am trying to reduce carbs, so no pasta. Prices are typical of restaurants in the area.
They even have pizza, which I also did not try. Sigh, why are all the yummy things in life made with wheat.
Me and my friend decided to get some white wine, and have a prawn salad to share first. The Finocchi and Gamberi (S$18 for small, $24 for large) was made with mixed mesclun salad, generous amounts of fennel, avocado, orange slices, dill, red prawns and lemon dressing. It was the perfect tart and refreshing salad to whet our appetites. 3.5/5
We were really there for the red snapper casserole. Initially they told us they had sold out of the red snapper. But after some fridge digging, we were told that they have another fish available that can be prepared the same way. The Whole red snapper casserole (for two, 25 minutes wait, S$68) uses seasonal seafood, spicy tomato sauce and is covered with crusted pizza dough.
There were generous amounts of clams, squid and spices. The tomato sauce was light, tangy and not too spicy at all, which makes it the perfect sauce for the white fish. The fish was fresh and meaty, which made us incredibly stuffed! 4/5
I am quite satisfied with the meal at Thirty9 despite just have 2 dishes, and the service was affable too. The only downside was that me and my friend were not big eaters! I would like to try out the pasta, pizza and other Italian dishes next time.
🙅 Thank you, next
