Tan's Pasta Shop (Singapore Polytechnic)

The newly opened Tan's Pasta Shop at 313@Somerset is running a promotion for its opening special - Pesto Linguine for $6 (usual price: $7). Available for limited period only, chiong ah~~~ 😄

Upon arriving at Food Republic, the shop's big poster near the lifts caught my attention. This unassuming food court stall is started up by a young chef with "rich experiences in Michelin Star restaurants".

😎 Wow~~ In all honesty, we find that the pasta was above average standards of food court pastas. The basil and nutty flavours of the pesto sauce were well-balanced. The linguine was slightly softer than al dente but still firm compared to many other food court pastas. The buttery sliced mushrooms and chunky bacons added savory, texture and smoothness to the pasta. And of course, a handful of the parmesean cheese would do the trick to complete the dish. 😋

But like Misato, there are looking for a new place to set up once again. I have only walked by Food Republic @ 313 a number of times that can be counted on one hand. I read Angus Beef Bolognese, so I had to order it. Though looking the least appetizing, it's quite good and I wanted to try other western offerings like Chicken Chop. Looks like I have to wait for now.
