Twyst (Raffles Place)

super affordable build-your-own-pasta!

i got the aglio olio with cherry tomatoes and sauteed prawns. personally, i LOVE garlic, so i was delighted to find that the aglio olio was super fragrant, the chefs used a ton of garlic (but not overly so), it wasn’t too oily… and the cherry tomatoes and prawns were the perfect additions too. what a great meal - the only gripe i had was that it was finished too fast so if the portion was slightly bigger it would be awesome :”) but still great so 8.5/10!

This Chef Signatures came with Edamame, Beef Pepperoni, and Kale. They were pretty generous with the ingredients, although this pasta had much lighter flavour compared to the miso butter. Penne was cooked pretty al dente, although really wouldn't mind stronger flavours here.

They have a total of 3 outlets: Raffles Place, Asia Square, and JEM, so this could be another lunch option if you work near the area!

For those who work near CBD (Raffles Place), @twystpasta is an option for a quick and fuss-free lunch/ dinner! You might see a long queue, but they serve really quickly, and you get your food fast too!

You can choose to build your own pasta/ choose the created signatures!

Miso Butter ($9.90)
Defo my favourite of the 2 flavours that I tried. The miso flavour was pretty strong, with a slightly sweet-savoury flavour, and I chose spaghetti for this dish, together with Smoked Duck as protein and Mushrooms as toppings.

$7.90 aglio olio with 1 protein and 1 topping!
Was served up really quickly and was flavorful. Nubbad for CBD.

Interesting flavour but it got abit jelat after a while.

Went to Twyst last month and tried the Aglio Olio with Chicken and Spinach (~$8.50) and also Mussels in Tomato Sauce and Crusty Bread ($8.90)! 😇 I like how Twyst is a build your own pasta kind of place, so you can choose the toppings you like😁 The Mussels were also fresh and delicious🤪

Overall ratings 6/10 as the pasta is pretty average but slightly cheaper considering its in CBD area?😅 Mussels were pretty good if you are a tomato-based lover!😇
