✨ Along with baby scallops, sliced mushrooms, the spaghetti is tossed in creamy and thick Mentaiko sauce and topped with a copious amount of seaweed and ebiko roe. Given the pocket-friendly pricing and the conventional setting of this place, I didn’t harbor much hope on this dish, just giving it a shot as a fan of Mentaiko. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Mentaiko flavour in the slightly al dente spaghetti was one that’s distinctive, creamy with a pleasant umami savoury note. What’s more, there’s also a substantial amount of ingredients provided! The baby scallops had a pleasant firmness to the bite, with a slight chewiness whereas the mushrooms were chewy, lending a subtle earthy note (though overwhelmed by the Mentaiko sauce). Along with shredded nori and a heap of ebiko roe, this pasta exceeded my expectations and is indeed worth the bill (and indulgence) if you are a fan of Mentaiko! PS: I got greedy and decided to order a bucket of mentaiko fries all for myself as well, with no eventual regrets! 💖
