Pastaa 🍝

Don't be too quick to dismiss this meatless pasta as this turned out to be the best dish we had during our meal here.

Learnt that they add Japanese butter to enrich the sauce plus seaweed to give it a lip-smacking umami edge. Couple that with al dente ribbons of tagliatelle plus chunks of eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, squash and cherry tomatoes, and I'm a happy camper. So goood, I wanted to lick my plate clean!

compared to the one at populus, this one wins the beef ragu taste test! i really really enjoyed the taste of the meat, where the level of seasoning and marinating was just right. the meat, cheese, and pasta blend together to deliver (one of the) most amazing tomato based pasta i’ve tried :)

i would order this over cream pasta any day, and that’s showing a lotttttt!!! (bc im a cream girl!)

loving this!! i liked that i can finish an entire plate without feeling like the salted egg yolk was too overpowering, or getting sick of it ;) (kinda shows how great the taste is right!)

personally, i find the price point slightly high (at $17 a plate), if you are eating without any promotions.

however, still a dish i would no doubt splurge on from time to time. a true hidden gem 💎

Quite a nice pasta dish for the given price, enjoyed it just like how I enjoyed all my other pastas. However, I felt that the prawns could have been better sautéed or seasoned...? Overall a great pasta tho, since oil levels were controlled unlike some pasta disasters... 😅

Short Rib Ragu Pasta ($22) - slow-cooked, the short rib is fork-tender, and flavourful. Thoroughly enjoyed this perfectly al dente, freshly-made tagliatelle with rich tomato sauce, topped generously with Parmesan cheese, definitely will be back!!! 😌
