The moment we knew Ninja Bowl was available on #BurppleBeyond, a group of us made a beeline there for lunch.
Shown above is one of the two sets we ordered - the Mushroom Truffle and Niku Ragu linguine (usual price: $14+ each) along with a cup of tea (usual price: $7+ for one). They offer 4 types and we chose the Earl Grey and Honey Yuzu which were lovely.
The pastas got our immediate thumbs-up. Although cooked to a perfect al dente, they aren’t done in classic Italian style but modified to better suit local palates with a fusion twist. And without a doubt, hit the sweet spot they did.
Whether you’re vegetarian or not, I think the Mushroom Truffle is a great choice. It’s very tasty with plenty of garlic and plump, juicy mushrooms that are infused with an irresistible smokiness.
The Niku Ragu is a touch sweetish and a little richer. Adding an onsen egg for customers to stir in with the finely minced beef bolognaise braised in Japanese curry is just brilliant.
Since we used #BurppleBeyond’s 1-for-1 deal, we ended up saving a pretty bundle.
