Amazing cacio e pepe for just $15. Handmade pasta has great chewy texture that bounces slightly. The ribbon shaped pasta is one of the more unique ones, making it a less common find in Singapore. The mafaldine pasta is flat with fluted edges. I liked how the pasta encompassed the the cream sauce of the cacio e pepe. With every slurp of the pasta you get a good amount of sauce and chewiness to it. I always believe that the simplest dishes may sometimes also be the most difficult to get right. The sauce, made come just cheese and pepper was just so flavourful and well textured. To me, It was creamy and smooth, and well balanced between the peppery flavour and the creaminess. However, some might find it on the peppery side and rather a cheesier flavour. But this really hit the right spot for me because although I’m not too much a fan of creamy pastas, I wanted to try this after reading reviews. The black pepper really helped to balance the creaminess out, allowing me to focus on a different flavour node in the pasta.
And the fried egg! What an Asian finish but I will always appreciate an egg. Would think that most people would find the portion small & I have to agree - but that’s because it left me desiring more!
