Pizza Pasta Kinda Day

The 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 (~$17) was rather one dimensional pasta, with a thin and weak bodied tomato base. Average cafe food, nothing to marvel about.

Promised a dedi for the 𝙄𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙤 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙞 (~$12.45 aft disc), since I’m not a carbonara cream based pasta kinda girl, but for this, I might as well be.
-
Forget your usual bacon, the Iberico Chorizo’s a game changer. Could be the thick chewy cuts, the meaty aftertaste, or the smoky flavour; but there’s no denying that this one ups your bacon. 🥓
-
The light cream sauce is just so RIGHT with the parmesan, and avoids all the pitfalls of heavy creamed carbonara. Topped with earthy, nutty Buckwheat for that crunch and an egg for the mix; what else do you want? 🤪

The end bit of rice was partially swimming in oil, but flavour wise the 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙣 (~$17) was SOLID. The evident garlic aroma interrupted the sweet prawns and honey, enhancing the depth of flavour of the rice. 🦐

If you’re a carbs on carbs kinda person, the 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 (~$17) is for you. Mantous AND linguine?? Yes please. The chilli crab sauce was more spicy tomato than chilli crab, which wasn’t my kinda thing, but I still really enjoyed this dish with the springy crab 🦀

Skip the 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙁𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞 (~$17) unless you love grimey beef. And a strange aftertaste in your mouth. I’ll pass, thanks!

A shoutout to the 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙮 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙋𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚 (~$18), bc rarely are pesto pastas done right, but Symmetry’s maintained the rich herby pesto without over oiling the pasta .😋🍝

Will be the first to admit that I am basicbij99 and I have had TOO many eggs Benedict to count, so when I say 𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙮’𝙨 𝙀𝙜𝙜𝙨 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩 (~$18) is amongst my top few, I mean it.

The poached eggs basically MELTED into the maple glazed bacon, and with the chew from the mushrooms and the muffins, this was all I ever wanted in life. (After graduating, probably)🥰

Ig @goodfomood

Will go for anything Burrata, so I couldn’t bear not to get the 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙖 (~$36). Set atop chewy woodfire pizza and slices of salty Prosciutto, this creamy Burrata was enough to coat each slice generously. 🍕
-
The dough here is stunning. Burnt slightly at the sides for that bitter aftertaste, light and chewy to sit well in your stomach (or for you to take another slice), there was nothing I didn’t like about this.

Ig @goodfomood

Always had these when I was younger, and the 𝙆𝙁𝘾 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙯 is BACK and BETTER. Enjoy the combination of chicken, tomato, BBQ nachos, cheese and Chipotle mayo in a perfectly toasted tortilla wrap from the comfort of your home, so you can stay home and most importantly stay safe!!
-

Sweet tomato slices played well with the heavier cheese and chipotle mayo, and the chicken fillets reminded me of the all time fav popcorn chicken🐔
-
Those who miss this Meltz (like me) already know how good it tastes, and if you don’t, now you can 🤪

Ig @goodfomood

𝙁𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙞 𝘿𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙚 (~$20.90) was pretty typical, but you definitely could tell their sauce was more tangy 🍅 and their ingredients were so MUCH!! in portion

Ig @goodfomood

Love the pizzas here but tried the Pasta Special: 𝙎𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙠 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙨 🍝 (~$25.90) and I am in LOVE. Seriously. If they have this as a Special then GET IT pls.
-
Cream base was light and airy, not heavy like typical carbonaras which I dislike! The squid ink pasta was thin and didn’t weigh me down: I slurped most of this down 😂 BUT my fav part has to be the SCALLOPS. Look at that generosity???? Probably the SOFTEST scallops I’ve had ever, these straight up glided down your throat. Though I wish there were more seasoning for the scallops!

Felt that the 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞 (~$16) was a miss, the cream based pasta sat way too heavy in my stomach, and the crayfish was TINY. Skip this 👋
