Menus are changed frequently at TCC without warning, but I felt like mentioning this new pasta on the Isetan Scotts branch's revamped menu.

The "locally-inspired" Prawn Laksa Pasta ($23) is one exotic looker of a dish, but then again, what do you define as "exotic"? For one, the flavours were certainly familiar. Al dente squid ink spaghetti in a mildly spiced coconut sauce that left us wanting more, with laksa herb crumble and otah-stuffed prawns. They appeared to be "otah-crusted", rather than "otah-stuffed", and could use some fine-tuning. If so, I'd be glad to see it land a spot in TCC's permanent pasta repertoire, joining the ranks of classics like the Seafood Aglio Olio.
