Basil Pasta House

Japanese style pasta, the perfect marriage between east and west.
Angel hair pasta tossed in Yuzu Shoyu dressing, and yes, topped with a dollop of caviar. The dressing was light, so trust us to wipe the dish clean within 10 minutes because it’s just so good!

Always a mighty fan of this pasta house. All types of pastas ranging from classic favourites to creative plates with a touch of Japanese flavours.
Lord knows how much I love a good plate of gnocchi. But this wasn’t just good, this was AMAZING. Soft mini dumplings cooked in tangy tomato sauce with tasty bacon bits and a sprinkle of Parmesan to top it off. If you’re not good with spice, perhaps you should sit this one out (but I would encourage you to bear with the heat bc it’s so worth the pain).

The white wine & Japanese venus clams pasta (front) was good, but not very memorable. I personally liked the pork meatball & tomato (back) pasta more! The cheese on top of the meatballs was the cherry on top.

One of my favourite pastas here! They’re quite generous portion wise, especially with the bacon and mushrooms 😍

• RM29.90
• 8/10

Come for the tasty, well-portioned pasta that's worth the trek and, on weekends, the queue. Start with the savoury Mushroom Soup (RM7.90) that's redolent of wild mushrooms and olive oil. As for mains, don't miss the light, truffle oil-drizzled Cream and Pork Bacon (RM18.90), best had with spaghetti to soak up all that luscious sauce. Otherwise, go for a more adventurous Ox Tongue Ragu Bolognese (RM22.90).
