Whenever I see crayfish pasta, I get reminded of Swensen’s cuz that is my dad’s ultimate all-time favourite. 🤣 So with that in mind, here’s how I think EStation Café’s rendition of Chilli Crab Crayfish Spaghetti ($17.90) fared in comparison! 👌🏻
.
Features 2 halves of crayfish in Singapore Chilli Crab sauce, this plate of pasta had a quite a spicy kick 🔥 but I find it very manageable (shld be good for most people!). Unlike Swensen’s version which had fish fillets, crabsticks etc, this one focused on the crayfish, which was sufficiently meaty & springy.😍😍😍
.
Instead of a tomato sauce, they spiced things up with Chilli Crab sauce, which retained the pleasant sweet & tangy flavours but with an added seafood umami. 😋 Coat the firm strands of spaghetti in this luscious sauce & enjoy! The portion is decent for 1 pax.

Overall, Swensens wins hands-down IMO in terms of variety & quantity. While ES Cafe's rendition was not bad at all, this is probably something to work on for better value-for-money! 😊
