Came across a post about the pasta from this stall situated at Blk 204 Serangoon Central just a stone's throw away from Serangoon MRT Station and thought it would be good to make it my dinner plan over the weekend.

Probably one of the better Carbonara that I have ever came across from a Western food stall in a coffee shop. Wasn't expecting much initially, but the Carbonara was pretty well-executed considering how it came without an onslaught of cream (aka the way that it should have been done), yet coming with a hint of garlic and pepper; a rarity when it comes to Carbonara served from similar set-ups and at the price of S$7. Noodles were done al-dente, whilst the mushrooms helped to provide a chewy texture and an earthy note to cut through the richness of the dish, coming along with bacon bits for a savoury flavour profile with a tinge of smokiness. Really liked how the yolk came all jiggly, adding richness to the entire affair when mixed in. On a side note, the lady behind the counter was pretty enthusiastic, and they were running a promotion where patrons can like their Facebook page in order to roll dices which would entitle them different tiers of discounts for their orders; pretty creative, and a refreshing take on running a business in the F&B scene!
