Was scrolling around social media and got to learn about the fairly new The Daily Pasta that had recently made its appearance in the local F&B scene. The Daily Pasta is a coffeeshop stall located within the Chang Sheng Eating Place coffeeshop at 4 St George’s Road — this is a short walking distance away from Boon Keng MRT Station along the North East Line; the coffeeshop is also known to house an outlet of Original Simon Road Hokkien Mee as well. As one would be able to deduce from the namesake of the stall, The Daily Pasta focuses on serving up pasta dishes and doesn’t serve up the usual entree dishes that one would typically expect from a western cuisine stall situated within a coffeeshop / food court / hawker centre — the menu comprises of a few pasta dishes with a default combination of pasta, sauce, seafood / meats, vegetables and others, though they also do offer a customisable Build Your Favourite Pasta menu for those whom want to pick and choose their desired elements to go into their order. The Daily Pasta also offers a few side dishes to share around the table as well.

One of the dishes that sees a fixed combination of elements would be the Carbonara — with that being said, we did swop out the default pasta type of Spaghetti with the Farfalle for our order. From our order, it does seem that the Carbonara consists of the Mushroom Cream sauce paired with turkey bacon and sous vide egg. Digging into the Carbonara, we did like that mushroom cream sauce carried quite a good hint of flavours — savoury, creamy and slightly garlicky; all that whilst coming with bits of mushrooms that adds an earthy touch to the dish. The Farfalle was done al-dente; a good choice of pasta to go with the Carbonara especially considering how the sauces caught onto the ribbed texture of the pasta itself. Coming with sous vide egg, mixing the sous vide egg does help to give the dish a richer and silkier texture, while the crispy turkey bacon adds a saltishness typical of cured meats that one would expect out of a Carbonara. Wouldn’t say that this is a true-blue authentic plate of Carbonara considering its execution and use of some of the ingredients featured, though its accessibility at $9.90 does make it a quality plate of pasta that one can get especially for a stall situated in a coffeeshop!
