From MASH at Pek Kio, which is by the folks behind now-defunct GRIT at Pek Kio previously located at Pek Kio Market and Food Centre; MASH at Pek Kio had not moved far, with its new location situated just right opposite where GRIT at Pek Kio was at Blk 44 Owen Road.

Had been enjoying different variants of Carbonara lately, and this was yet another version that shone. Featuring elements such as Iberian Pork Jowl, Bacon, Pecorino and Truffle Oil, the Carbonara here is well-executed without being jelak. Despite the use of truffle oil, the truffle oil is not the dominant factor of the Carbonara here, which focuses on the creaminess and slight cheesiness with the al-dente linguine that carries a good bite. Really liked how they had included the Iberian Pork Jowl and Bacon here; the former helping to add a bit of chew with its chunkiness that was juicy and tender, while the latter being crisp — both adding a savoury note to the Carbonara to create that classic flavour. Overall, a pretty satisfying version that we would certainly go for again!
