Look at that pool of shredded mozzarella cheese, made me oomph literally! The Ro ppong-roje wasn't my first choice because I am not a cream-based pasta person. But this is really the first that changed my opinion on that.

I really have to agree that it's the heartiest ppong at Nipong Naepong, not just for its portion, but how magically the blend of tomato and cream sauces turned out, as though I was having a lobster bisque. The tanginess of the tomato sauce and tomato chunks was really pleasing. The highlight was when the mozzarella cheese melted as it was mixed into the pasta sauces, where it gets pulled along with the pasta. I liked how they added 2 slices of the crisp tortilla base, used for their pizzas, on top of the pasta. Dipping that in the sauces gives a good judgement of the sauce flavours.

Also a seafood pasta, where there's a generous lot of mussels and squids. The flying fish roe adds on to the umami seafood flavour, as well as a bursting texture amidst the creaminess. Surprisingly, I didn't find it jelak till the end!
