One does not need to go very far to find a place with cozy atmosphere and good food. A crowd pleaser like Pasta De waraku makes a great place for dining in with your loved ones!There is usually very few people in the restaurant. The service, however, is quite slow and the staff wasn't very friendly. We changed our order a few seconds after ordering and she grimaced at us, saying 'tsk, haiz' to show apprehension.That aside, the restaurant is famous for its pasta! This bacon and ham carbonara past
There is usually very few people in the restaurant. The service, however, is quite slow and the staff wasn't very friendly. We changed our order a few seconds after ordering and she grimaced at us, saying 'tsk, haiz' to show apprehension.
That aside, the restaurant is famous for its pasta! This bacon and ham carbonara pasta (SGD9.90) is quite small in portion, and I felt hungry even after finishing it. It comes with rich creamy sauce and a mouth-watering oily sheen. It was a treasure hunt for the bacon, but thankfully they were quite generous with their ham! The pasta was soft and evenly cooked throughout. We ordered this as an a la carte (a separate menu from the set menu).
I really love the set menu which grants a sharing portion between two people (friends, lovebirds, family) at an affordable price! The total set meal, which consists of a drink and a soup of the day, costs SGD26.80.
You can choose from a wide variety of food items. If you're a pescetarians, fret not as there are salmon steak to go along!
We ordered the iced lemon tea soft the drink and mind you, it was so refreshing that I really wanted to order another cup! It was not too sweet and the tea was strong in flavour.
This is how the food looked like when it came. We asked for an extra plate so as to share the portion. Don't belittle the look of a small portion, it was actually quite filling!
Cabonara Waraku SauceThe carbonara waraku sauce pasta actually contained deep-fried bacon & poached egg yolk with Carbonara sauce. Here's a tip: if you don't like your yolk to be half-cooked, do inform the waitress of your preference! The pasta was a light creamy taste instead of the usual rich flavour, and the bacon wasn't too oily or fat.
The side dish was a fried tofu and potato salad (at the background). Anyway, don't be deceived by how it looks! Despite looking like the one you can buy from supermarket and cook yourself at home, the fried tofu was quite delicious! The potato salad, however, tasted a bit stale.
Salmon Steak with Teriyaki Saucemoving on to the salmon steak, i thought the teriyaki sauce did a GREAT job masking the awful smell of the salmon. It is a truly decadent addition to the meal!
If you're looking to visit Pasta de waraku, here are some tips for you.
1. Don't be surprised if there isn't anyone serving you while you queue outside. Just walk in and sit yourselves as the waitresses, well, pretends to be busy in a restaurant with almost no customers.
2. Look out for food deals online from Pasta de Waraku. The restaurant usually upload great deals (e.g: Groupon) online!
3. Visit in the evening or when the sun sets. You are able to watch a beautiful view of the Singapore river!
