If you're looking for a Muslim-establishment that serves up decent pasta, I am... cafe has got your back!
One of the OG cafes in the area, I am... serves up simple, yet hearty dishes, ranging from pastas, to burgers and many more!
With #BurppleBeyond, we were only able to select from the pasta section & went for the Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio. This dish packed a punch with their Cajun seasoning but did not overpower the entire dish. The spaghetti was lightly tossed in olive oil, and topped with a grilled Cajun chicken-a simple yet tough dish to master.
Located at the entrance (from North Bridge Road) of Haji Lane, I am... cafe can be easily spotted from afar with it's large signage and Alfresco-like dining space.
As a Muslim-owned establishment, their dishes are made accessible to more cafe-goers who enjoys visiting this area!
An early lunch meant that we could grab a seat at this popular cafe and we ordered the Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90). It comes with perfectly booked penne served with a large portion of grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pesto herbs.
The chicken was pre-shredded, but still retained some moisture to ensure that it's tender. The pesto was well-balanced without being too salty and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sour tang to the dish. Overall, a satisfying dish to re-order when I visit!
Thankfully with #BurppleBeyond, we got this at 1 for 1, so my pasta was half the price, definitely worth it!
Pastas and Burgers all taste super good! I recommend Cajun Chicken and Chicken pesto if you're getting the 1-for-1deal. They have several seating for groups of 4-6.
Love the Cajun chicken! 💯 however v limited choices of pasta w the exclusions for Burpple
Being a halal restaurant, this rendition of the mojito doesn't contain any alcohol at all! The drink was surprisingly sweet despite it being infused with lime juice, as we could taste a faint aftertaste of lime. At less than $7++, it is a pretty great drink for haters of sour stuff!! Do be sure to mix it thoroughly before drinking otherwise you will find that the bottom is overwhelmingly sweet!
Pasta was cooked al dente, and served with pieces of grilled chicken and garnished with cherry tomatoes. For spices, there was a lot of black pepper, with some cut chilli added for more spiciness. The dish was more spicy than we expected although we think it is still bearable.
We think the dish is pretty worth it with the Burpple Beyond voucher but given it's small serving size, it may come across as too expensive without any discounts. There is nothing fanciful about this dish but we find it decent nonetheless.
