So it was really such a pity that this pasta was not better executed. Where many crab pastas get the crab meat wrong (with yucky meat), this one got the pasta wrong.

The thicker than usual linguine was in my opinion slightly undercooked such that I could still taste the flour. Pasta sauce was also a little on the bland side and even though garlics were added, they have failed to fry the garlic till fragrant to capitalize on this wonderful condiment. Overall, it wasn't a bad pasta but a mediocre one.

But this is a nice hidden cafe to chill at if you are at Novena. Coffee is pretty good and the cafe has a very nice ambience (albeit a little warm) with charming indoor communal or window bar seats and a nice garden outdoor alfresco area.
