Pronto Caffe & Bar
Japanese fusion cafe chain Pronto has made its way to Singapore. with over 300 stores across Japan, the outlet concept is essentially a pasta place serving up coffees, teas and bar top drinks. its first store in Singapore is located within the CBD at Capital Square, as part of the Japanese offerings at the curated Gochi Church Street. while it might be busier on the weekdays, the cafe sure makes a cosy place to chill on weekends, to have leisurely coffee or a beer on a Sunday afternoon.
The menu at Pronto is fairly compact, with a selection of fusion Japanese pastas and cakes to choose from at lunch. We understand there are abit more bar bites options for dinner but since we visited around noon, we'll focus on the lunch menu. the interiors are bright and creates a very relaxed atmosphere. Japanese do think of everything and the drinks range from the healthy to the alcoholic; for coffee they included the recently popular brown sugar variant as well as a coffee stand facing the walkway for weekday take-outs. 
we tried the pasta and they come in very generous servings. the ingredients are also generally fairly healthy such as this Crab & Broccoli Arrabiata which is served in spicy tomato sauce with shredded crab meat, tomatoes and broccoli. chilli bits within the sauce gives the dish a pretty spicy kick and i personally found the meal wholesome and satisfying. from a straightforward single page menu, it wasn't difficult to make your choice. 
probably one of the surprise finds of this visit is their Chicken & Mushroom Cream Soup Spaghetti. maybe because its rare to find this dish locally, or because the cream-based soup is really tasty, this led us to unanimously decide that this is a good dish. despite its plain ingredients, the mix of chicken hax, mushrooms, corn and spaghetti in a thick cream based broth combined to make very flavourful comfort food. we had it with an Acai Berry smoothie, another drink choice for the more health-conscious. 
i guess when you're in a Japanese inspired cafe, we should have gone for tea and probably with Matcha. our iced Latte was fine, nothing too fancy but perhaps we should have tried their Pronto Special blend or the brown sugar coffee. Nonetheless, this place proved to be a nice place to chill out, with its comfy interior and wide drink selection. in fact, during our lunch there, we did see individuals coming in to have a beer or read a book. in all, although the food are a tad pricey for simple dishes, its delivery, quality and ambience would ensure that they would have their market of followers in time to come.
