My eyes zeroed in on the pastas and while the award-winning Prawn & Spicy Chorizo Pasta at Porta is the popular choice for its spicy and intense flavour, the Wild mushroom pasta ($22) is certainly no slouch.

Super earthy and finished with a slug of cream, the sautéed mushrooms were comforting and way delicious. Beautifully al-dente, the accompanying orecchiette holds plenty of sauce in its shell and is truly the perfect pasta partner.

Thank you @blessincasia and @portasg for the invitation and hospitality.
Simple. Delicious. That’s how good the pasta is here at Porta. The orecchiette (small ear-shaped pasta) is done perfectly, with a superb bite to each piece that goes perfectly cradling the morish cream sauce.
The sauce itself takes on the flavour and fragrance of the seasonal wild mushrooms that chef Alex uses and thankfully isn’t too heavy so you can keep going back in for more. Both the pastas here blew us away (spice lovers will need to try their Prawn & Spicy Chorizo Pasta❤️), and I know I’ll be back for these! 👅💦💦
