PastaMania

To celebrate SG50, the restaurant has come up with a range of new dishes. We order 2 out of the 4 pasta dishes to try.
Mum’s Salted Egg Soft-​Shell Crab ($ 16.90)
Crispy soft-​shell crab and broccoli tossed in creamy salted egg yolk sauce. It is created by Chef Seng Kit.
It tastes not bad at first, but get a bit too much in the end, due to the too thick sauce.
Hei Bi Hiam (Spicy Dried Shrimps) Barramundi ($ 16.90)
Fresh barramundi slices, broccoli and tomato dices tossed with chilli padi and dried shrimps. It is created by Chef Calvin.
Although the dish is supposed to be spicy, we request it to be non spicy. It really tastes very nice with the dried shrimps in the pasta.
We order 2 out of the 3 new side dishes to try.
Chop Chop Chicken Salad ($ 6.50)
Gourmet salad with crispy chicken fillet, red apple and pear wedges, served with sambal dressing.
It kind of reminding me of the local indian rojak with its dressing.
Prawn Salad Stuffed Tau Pok ($ 6.50)
Gourmet salad with prawns, cucumber and peanuts stuffed in fried tofu pouches and served with sweet and sour mayo.
It is like a more atas version of the simple stuffed beancurd puff, which is usually just stuffed with bean sprouts and shredded cucumber.
We also try one of the 3 freezers which is Milo Dinosaur ($ 6.50). It looks like a chocolate frappa to me. Very thick and rich.
There is also 2 desserts in the new range but we only manage to try one as the Sago Manis Gelato is sold out. We have ordered and paid for both desserts at the counter. We wait and wait and ask one of staff about the dessert. She said that the dessert has already served, which actually has not. In the end after much been pushed around, it is then we are told that the dessert is sold out. What a waste of time. And it is been replaced by another dessert from the regular menu. So disappointing.
Goreng Pisang Gelato ($ 7.50)
Corn flakes chocolate chip banana balls served with gelato.
It is actually fried banana in batter served with a scoop of gelato of our choice which we selected sinfully rich Chocolate Fondente Svizzero on top. The batter coating the banana is a bit oily and tastes off.
CROSTATA DI LITCHI ($ 6.50/ $ 9.50 with gelato)
Lychee tart topped with homemade custard, a sprinkle of granola to finish the sweet note
This is the replaced dessert. Although it tastes not bad and served with Vanilla Crema, but the mood is already spoilt.
HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN
Chicken bites coated with homemade honey garlic sauce
It is a sweet and addicitive snacking dish.
Overall the food is not bad. Service needs to be improve especially the way the staffs handle the dessert incident. It could be handle in a better way.
