My second visit to this restaurant, this time courtesy of an invitation by Mango PR, cements it as one of my new favourite pasta places in Singapore. What’s more, if you can’t say no to wine pairing (and trust me, you shouldn’t), you can be sure Co-owner and Master Sommelier Ronald Kamiyama will ply you with some very excellent choices. We were grinning like the Cheshire Cat over his discerning selection, especially the exceptional and rare natural orange wine from Japan he pulled out for our final and very umami pasta.
Speaking of pastas, of the five Co-owner and Executive Chef Aun cooked for us last night, one of my top picks would be the NEW Jalapeño Pesto ($28++). Not to say the rest weren’t tasty because they all were but this is a must-try if you can handle hot food. It’s a brilliant combo of spiciness with a sourish note offset by a pounded mix of pistachios and pine nuts and ricotta salata.
