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!
Was passing through Upper Serangoon Road just slightly further down towards the direction of Potong Pasir and noticed a fairly unfamiliar sight within the area. EK Creamery does seem like a fairy new addition to the neighborhood — these folks are located in the corner shophouse that is located at 997 Upper Serangoon Road; the previous tenant of the space before EK Creamery being a Ms Black Bean 黑豆浆小姐 that used to serve up Black Soya Bean beancurd. EK Creamery does seem to have enclosed the shophouse unit with walls and glass doors; the interior of the shophouse now being air-conditioned though the only dine-in area would be the high table with high stools located outside the shophouse along the five foot way. As its namesake suggests, EK Creamery is an ice-cream parlour; the establishment offers a decent variety of ice-cream flavours which patrons can opt to enjoy in cups, cones or with a waffle — there is also a limited variety of toppings available as well.
Skimming through the display chiller for the various flavours that they have to offer, we found ourselves ending up with a Double Scoop — one scoop of the Macadamia Ice-Cream and one scoop of the Peach Oolong Ice-Cream; we initially did specify our order to come with Camellia Oolong Ice-Cream rather than Peach Oolong Ice-Cream, though the folks behind the counter had served us the wrong flavour and we decided to just go along with it anyway. Both flavours do seem to be pretty on-point — this is especially so since we weren’t really expecting much with the ice-cream sold at EK Creamery; the ice-creams here seem to carry a stickier texture that somehow brings them closer to being a gelato. The Macadamia would definitely appeal to those preferring nuttier notes; this one carried that signature nuttiness that one would find with Macadamia whilst carrying an adequate level of sweetness — definitely something a little different from the usual Hazelnut / Pistachio flavours that are more commonly found outside. The Peach Oolong definitely came tasting very close to the commercially-made bottled Peach Oolong teas with a prominent fragrance of Oolong tea in its finishing notes; also being suitably sweet. Its location does seem a little challenging given the lack of indoor seating and being a little out of the way, though probably a spot to be appreciated by residents around it in time to come.
Simple and homely Teochew porridge spot along Serangoon Road serving up a comforting range of dishes from meats and veggies to fresh steamed fish. I had the braised duck, which was tender with no gaminess, plus sides like bitter gourd, clams, fish cake and okra.
Prices are a touch higher than expected but portions are decent and it makes for a warm, comforting lunch 》$27.40
This was wow. So worth the price. Not the biggest but the texture was flawless, plus cream, syrup, pistachio and coconut ice cream. Anyway any bigger and it'd be jelak.
We're back for this excellent restaurant. I ordered what caught my eye last time. The gravy made with masala, ginger and cream was so tasty. The meat this time had more lean cuts, but overall okay lah. Supposed to be three pita but they knew most customers can't finish - turned out true for me!
Really long wait for this popular restaurant (and questionable seating arrangements) but the food more than made up for it. First of all, GET THE SEAFOOD PANCAKE IT'S SO GOOD, thick and delicious and chockful of seafood bits, probably will return just to have this again it's THAT good. Also got the BBQ Set A which had generous portions of meat good for 3 pax, but we're terrible at grilling so I think next time we'll just get the pre-grilled platter instead! Japchye was alright and abalone porridge was pretty interesting, and we appreciated the free flow barley tea, banchan, lettuce, and garlic/green chilli for the grill. Overall, if I was in the area and the queue is manageable, would return.
From the corner stall nearest to the carpark. Old-school hawker centre zichar, so the prices looked low. Unfortunately it felt like a rip-off. Nice but pricey for so little.
The economical beehoon stall with the loveliest eggs - I ate two! - has one of the worst beehoon. How ah? Should I buy beehoon elsewhere and add egg from here?
From the western food stall O'Charlie. Always ignoring it, I'm surprised by the large and Malaysia-style battered chicken. I also appreciate the additional slaw. But overall undercut by the tasteless pasta hahaha.
Not a stall I particularly fancy but I was looking for something heavy. Surprised to see they have la mian to add. Quite wonderful tbh. Stir-fried la mian with all the ingredients.
Back soon to eat flatbread again. But I didn't know Subway can prevent me from customising my sub? The staff said this sub is fixed. As a result, I feel I received an undersized sub. It didn't feel like Subway.
