Welcome to Bugis. Looking for Pasta places?

Went to Tipo Pasta Bar last week and ordered their Linguine (Chilli Garlic) and built my own pasta - Pink Sauce, Garlic Chips, Smoked Chicken, Swiss Brown Mushrooms ($17.90 before GST and Svc Charge)!😇

Overall ratings 8/10! Pasta was not bad but nothing too fancy🥹 Flavour of the pasta itself mentions chilli garlic too but it dosen't taste like it (staff did mention that the flavour is very mild tho haha) Would visit again only if I am craving for pasta😅

Visited Tipo Pasta Bar for the first time!

Realised that their pasta menu is actually very similar to Tipo Strada! Both outlets have the build your own pasta menu! The only slight differences for the pasta menu is the fixed bowl where their selections are slightly different!

Here is what I tried this time round:
-Absolute Alfredo for Gemelli (parsley pasta) [$17.90++]: Love their creamy white sauce! This came with swiss brown mushrooms and chicken (which was more like steamed chicken to me than "smoked chicken")
-Build your own pasta: Linguine Chilli Garlic Pasta + Aglio Olio + White Clams [$14.4++]: Free toppings were included and we added ALL and it was a WRONG choice lol! The toppings added were chilli flakes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic chips and birds eye chilli. The addition of the birds eye chilli and chilli flakes plus it was a chilli garlic pasta SUPER FIERY! I couldn't stomach more than 3 scoops of it whoops! Lesson learnt, just stick to adding garlic chips only the next time!

Small and it was served just in a small container. The alcohol taste was quite strong and the mascarpone was sweet and creamy, but we couldn’t really taste the coffee in it. All in all, average and not memorable.

I thought this would look better but the aesthetic was a bit lacking. The portion was also small and the beef was tough. The beef cubes were flavourful, but very tough (full of tendons that were very tough to bite). The sauce for this was quite watery too and didn’t stick to the beetroot Lunghi well.

The Fusilli Lunghi is very special, which I have not tried before. It’s very al dente and a bit like thicker version of Maggie Mee 😳. The truffle is quite strong and there’s a peppery taste to the sauce. The sauce is quite thick and sticks to the pasta quite well. However, we find the truffle + cheese + pepper combi was a bit..weird for us.

Interesting combinations for the pasta. Too hard for my liking but my partner likes it felt it was 7/10 cooked instead of the normal al dente at 9/10. Pasta lacking in salt and my mentaiko felt a little bland. The clams one was not too bad. To be honest even with the burpple deals still feels quite expensive

All style no substance. The squid used seemed fresh and premium, and the frying was good. But the squid was tasteless and all else became slave to this flaw.

With squid ink tagliatelle, bacon, vodka, bird's eye chilli, tomato-cream and parmigiano. This dish was the saving grace of our visit. The bacon was especially delicious.

With roasted capsicum and paprika spaghetti, scallops and green tobiko. Atrocious that they allow requests for softer pasta but ours came very hard, like uncooked. The ingredients were interesting but the entire meal was spoilt.

@mrburger159 Chinese name (堡大人）is a fun play on the name of Justice Bao, an old TV drama from way back when. Their food is equally whimsical, with Ramly burger being their chief offering, supported by a cast of other burgers encompassing an American Style Wagyu Beef Burger, Thai Style Chicken Burger, Japanese Fish Burger, and a China Mala Chicken Burger.⠀⠀

The Japanese Fish Burger is slightly simpler but no less savoury, with a pair of crunchy battered fish fillets sauced up with wasabi mayo, garnished with a slice of American cheese and lettuce, and sandwiched between two halves of a bun. The fish fillets are quite dense, as a meaty fish was used in this fillet, and the briny taste is notable. The wasabi mayo comes in clutch here, wiping out the naturally fishy taste of the fillets with its nose tingling heat and lubricating everything with its creaminess. The cheese should’ve been melted more, but it bound everything together quite well and added an extra saltiness.⠀

Mr Burger doesn’t cook up the best burgers, but their innovative burgers are deeply satisfying nonetheless. And for that reason, I’ll be back.

Of course, it would be remiss of me to skip Mr Burger’s signature Ramly Burger, so I ordered up a Chicken Ramly Set for just $6.90. All the classic components of the Ramly were present & accounted for, starting with the thin mystery meat patties encased in a thin omelette blanket, and copiously sauced with mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce & a touch of black pepper sauce. However, Mr Burger has upgraded the Ramly by adding in crunchy shredded cabbage, which provides a sorely needed crunchy contrast to the soft & floppy textures of everything else. Oh, did I mention that it’s copiously sauced to the socks?⠀

We tried this Mentaiko pasta today at Pasta & Co. It was pretty good! The seared scallops were good as well! Would definitely come back and try the others.
