Looking for Pasta places?

Discovered a new serene garden-themed café tucked away in a hidden corner of Takashimaya Shopping Centre, amid the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road.

@tagespresso serves quality fresh brew as well as specialty drinks complemented by a Japanese fusion menu in a gorgeous modern botanical-inspired space. Every coffee product available at TAG Espresso Takashimaya S.C – and on its entire catalogue – is made from freshly roasted 100% Arabica beans from leading coffee regions like Ethiopia, Columbia, Guatemala, Brazil and Sumatra, resulting in cups of quality coffee that hit the spot.

A great place to pick up your morning perk-me-up and afterwork unwind.

Both pasta were good

☕𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒕 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 ($5.70)- I usually get a double shot at @dutchcolony , but the regular single shot cuppa is a great perk-me-up for a late afternoon slump! 😋

🍵𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒂 𝑻𝒂𝒓𝒕 ($7.50) - An absolutely beautiful tart, featuring a dense and sweet 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 𝙂𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚, not a huge fan of this since I prefer a stronger 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 kick. May go well paired with a strong black brew? 🤔

Heard alot of people raved about this Italian restaurant. Manage to pop over as i happened to be in the neighbourhood.
Ordered the handmade raviolacci ($22++) with beef stuffing and dress with masala sauce. There is a total of 4 raviolacci when it was served. The pasta was cooked molto Al Dante, and I preferred it to be Al Dante though. The masala sauce is cloying sweet which I find it overpowering the beef.

Cake perfect, not too sweet, with delicious chocolate oozing out of the cake when cut. The pistachio ice cream was light and a great combination with the heavier chocolate lava cake. Will cone back to dine again.

Presentation of the Tiramisu was nice, and taste was great. Hoped that there was a tad more Baileys. Their lvl 2 outdoor seating area was well decorated. Perfect for quiet lunch / dinner as a couple. Service was impeccable, as usual.

Pizza was okay for a Domino’s Pizza fan like me

The braised beef almost melted-in-the-mouth, sauce was rich, rather heavy on the garlic but on the salty end of the spectrum which made it more filling.

Great ambience with excellent service 🥂

Cataplana ($39.80)
Roasted Cod Fillet ($39.80)
Mushroom Truffle Risotto ($23)
Napoletana Penne ($22)

Seafood and cod were juicy with crispy cod skin, yum! Skip the penne unless you’re vegetarian 🥗

The waiter kindly informed us to join a free lifetime membership with Novotel (a French hotel-chain which this restaurant was a part of) which allows you to redeem a free dessert per person 🍰
