Dearest Pizzeria Mozza Singapore’s Lime Pie,

A wise man once said, “To be someone’s first love may be great, but to be their last is beyond perfect”. But what if you found your first and last love with the same person? Wouldn’t it be absolutely beautiful? As a matter of fact, I’m not actually talking about a person. I’m talking about my love for lime pie. The lime pie. Pizzeria Mozza’s Lime Pie. You.

I vividly remember the day I had a first bite of you. The sun was shining brightly; it was my last day of travelling around Singapore in May 2014 with my friend Monica. We went to see the Dinosaurs Expo at the ArtScience Museum, got completely famished, and decided to dine at Pizzeria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands Singapore simply because we were huge fans of Joe Bastianich. Total fangirls, I know. 

While the home-made Grapefruit Soda was an utterly refreshing beverage and the Margherita Pizza was heads and shoulders yummier than any other Margherita Pizzas I had tasted in my life, it wasn’t until you came out that we had a total eye-rolling, ooh-aah-ing, out-of-this-world-so-good moment. You were, pure and simple, delicious.

Ever since then, I fell in love—hard—to all sorts of citrusy pie.

The fact remains that none of my citrusy pie conquest tastes as wonderful as you. This is why I jump at the opportunity to revisit Pizzeria Mozza. This time with my mom, my fellow citrusy pie enthusiast.

I must admit that I pay little attention to the pizza—Prosciutto di Parma, Rucola, Tomato, and Mozzarella—or the pasta—Fazzoletti with Beet Greens, Ricotta, and Mushroom Besciamella. My heart is pounding so fast, waiting for you to finally present yourself to me once again. When you do, oh boy, what a treat.

You, my dearest lime pie, are as gorgeous as how I last saw you; the bright yellow colour of your fillings contrast beautifully with the almost-black blueberries, complemented with the vine-like placement of candied lemon zest. The dollop of cream on the side simply begs me to dip my spoon into it and have a feast. I take a little bit of everything and slowly savour the burst of flavours and sensation assaulting my palate: the wonderful acidity from the lime, the crunchy pie crust, the watery sweetness of blueberries, and the creaminess of cream that ties everything together. I feel like shedding a tear from your perfection. My mom loves you too, by the way.

When will I get to see you again?

My lime pie, you will remain my one true love. Although I can’t promise that I would not try for relationships with other citrusy pies, I promise you that I would always love you. That, and I will be back someday. Wait for me. 

With love,

Sandra

P.S. My dearest lime pie, why do you have so many yummy dessert friends? I must admit that your friend, Caramel Copetta, is kinda cute too. Her combination of marshmallow sauce and salted peanuts are deadly delicious. Please send my love to her.
