This, my fellow foodies, have got to be the best pasta I've tasted! Read so much reviews online about this dish and I already came with high expectations and yet, it went above and beyond. Was initially surprised to see it as a starter instead of a main, seeing as to how it's a $88 pasta. The chef have very kindly helped us split into sharing portion for easier consumption and boy, on the first mouth, I was speechless and could only stare at my dining partner with joy. This angel hair, scallop and sea urchin truffle emulsion pasta is such an indulgence. The coldness from the chilled pasta surprising you as you slowly warm it up in your mouth, the whiff of truffle fragrance permeating the air, the taste of the ocean from the uni and scallop lingering in your mouth, ahh, heavenly. Da Luca is a gem of a place, which can be classified as neighbourhood dining, considering the slew of bars and cheap finds surrounding it; but can also be promoted to the 'atas' restaurant level instantly, considering the quality of ingredients used here. The service provided here was warm and friendly, and the food feels homely. In fact, I was seated at a quiet corner, with Italian (?) music serenading us during the meal, it was a very Lady and the Tramp moment. Clearly, I'm the lady. I might have just found my favourite pasta restaurant ✨
