Pasta

Food 🍝: 7/10

Truly a hidden gem snuck right at the basement of Funan! Following the trend of build-your-own pasta bowls, this place offers pastas from $5.50 and allows you to choose from a variety of pastas and toppings too!

Had the Carbonara ($7.90) tossed with the classic Spaghetti pasta as recommended on the menu. The sauce was on the thicker side and was mixed with fatty guanciale (pork cheek), egg, parmesan and black pepper. Each bite was really creamy and eggy with the black pepper greatly enhancing the taste of the pasta. Portion was just right for a was super hungry me during lunch time! A little note though, would have preferred if the guanciale was replaced with bacon for a little bit of that protein. Will definitely come and try their other pastas though!

Had the tasting portion for the Mentaiko Pasta with Pumpkin Rigatoni ($17.90)! Really loved the rich, creamy umami flavour and not forgetting the scallops which completed the taste. The green tobiko gave it extra colour and crunch making the pasta not jelak at all. The pasta was also cooked to perfection as well and it was a good combination that I would recommend!

We also had the full portion of the Chicken Aglio Olio ($18.90). The tenderness of the chicken, garlic flavours and chilli of this classic pasta made it extra flavourful. A must try for all Aglio Olio lovers!

Do note that the portion is a little small though, even the full portion wasn’t super filling, so do consider getting a side to fill your tummy too! And we waited really long for the food too… but I guess it’s worth the wait for good food! Will come back again maybe for lunch, hopefully the wait isn’t too long.
