Pasta tends to be a simple dish, which leaves it entirely up to the quality of the ingredients & the chef to make or break it. Over at @gastronomickitchen, they got both aspects amply covered, which is why it’s become my go to spot for bargain pastas done right.⠀

The seafood tom yum pasta ($10.90 nett) sees your choice of pasta tossed in a tom yum sauce fortified by a fair bit of cream. The creamy tom yum is insanely incendiary which does overpower many of the other flavours on the plate, but the unmistakable essence of lemongrass is most definitely there. Get a drink or three to extinguish that fire so you can finish off the fresh, pleasantly portioned medley of seafood along with the heap of al dente pasta that’s thoroughly mixed in with the creamy, spicy sauce.⠀

Pasta Loft serve these pleasantly piquant pastas on the (almost) daily, and they won’t break the bank too. What more can a broke man want?
