Crab cake: generous filling of crab meat; flavorful; no fishy taste..
Duck ragu: duck meat cooked in tomatoes and white wine sauce; generous portion of duck meat; tinge of alcohol..
Angus ragu: braised beef and pork; surprisingly flavorful and not too overwhelming; too many visible pieces of fats inside that "no-chunk-fats-eating" me have to use eye-power and fine skills to pick and put aside, scraping off from the meat and skin; other than this, I really like how tender the meat are..
Brownies: with salt lightly sprinkled on top; taste pretty normal; nothing special..
Overall a decent and filling meal; a pity that it's gonna close for good..

[Bugis] @ahbongsitalian The Angus Meat Ragu ($21) was rich and meaty in flavour with fork-tender braised beef cheeks and pork. The homemade reginetti was flavourful, chewy and well-coated in the sauce. Their Gnocchi Pomodoro ($19) featured light and fluffy pillows full of potato flavour and a delicious sweet tomato sauce. Tasty and hearty Italian food without the frills. #sgfood #italian #pasta #foodsg #vscosg #foodiesg #foodpornsg #instasg #sgfoodporn #eeeeeats #instafood #burpple

The homemade pasta is soft and comes with a good bite together with the savoury meat ragu, beef cheek and duroc pork. Don’t forget to order the delicious crab and ricotta ravioli for your side too 😋

Ah Bong’s Italian is a humble, non-pretentious cafe that serves tasteful pasta, including their very housemase pasta.
We tried a few, and this [Angus, $16 or $21 for homemade pasta] pictured goodness comes with meat ragu, beef cheek and duroc pork. Each bite is inviting, with well-simmered meat. Thumbs uuuuuppp!

Ah Bong Italian serves some of the satisfying Italian food without burning a hole in the pocket. Tuck into sharing plates such as simply crab cakes, burrata, crispy pork belly and more. Pasta main choices such as angus, amatriciana, gnocchi; prices from S$16. And you can opt for homemade pasta at an additional of S$5. One of my favourite sharing plates would be crab cakes (S$8); Not only homemade, they were also filled with savoury crab meat. (Photo carousel) The plump and pillowy gnocchi (S$19) made with homemade potato dumplings with tasty chicken fillings inside. .

This little gem along Tan Quee Lan is where owner-chef Chris runs his humble looking Italian eatery. Despite its affordable prices, I find that they serve very decent Italian cuisine, and every dish felt like they were made from the heart by Chef-owner Chris. Yes, I've been back several times

Their homemade pasta is soft and had a good bite to it. This "Angus" dish came with meat ragu, beef cheek, and duroc pork, but you wouldn't go wrong with other main course choices, such as the pasta served with slow-cooked duck ($16), crab and ricotta ravioli ($21), and the amatriciana ($16).
🔸
They serve good starters as well, we've tried crab cakes ($8), charred beef short ribs ($8) and burrata ($14). Check out @foodgemsg, @wishuponatart, @shermyyy and @whatjess123 for their reviews, and @ahbongsitalian to check out their daily changing menu.

This is taken during a tasting, but you know I've always been a regular paying customer here.
Hearing Angus Meat Ragu had us all salivating and looking forward to the meal, especially when we glimpsed the option of handmade pasta. And when it came ooooh look at that mound of meat?! So we dug in, rather enthusiastically I may add, only to find braised meat that tasted unfortunately one dimensional. It lacked the depth some really good mirepoix and tomato paste would’ve added, and more like a starchy meat sauce than a traditional ragu. Points for the al dente pasta which I personally enjoyed, but the flat flavours made the dish boring and jelak after a couple of mouthfuls. Would’ve helped if they reduced the portions a little or added another element to help keep it balanced!

Angus Meat Ragu - $16

Angus Beef Cheek, Durac pork.
Taste kinda like fusion of pasta with Chinese style 卤肉. Shop owner engages all customers for 食物上的交流 for further improvement, plus point.

Dried pasta for $16, home made for $21. Will try the home made one next time to taste the difference. But this pasta is pretty good, very meaty and full of flavor and the pasta wasn't too watery as well. (Some are so watery it's almost like soup) 😩
I think the lunch deal is much more worth it as it is $12 nett for main, side and drinks. Came here on a weekend, promo was 1 free can drink with 1 side purchase. Around $20/pax.
This is a no brainer. I loved the meaty flavors and it went really well with the home made pasta. It's worth getting the home made pasta. Love the dedication behind every dish served here. Can't wait to be have this again!
