My mum is a fan of fish and chips, so while we were at Sembawang Shopping Centre, she suggested going to the Food Junction Kitchen to check out the western fare there. The stalls in Food Junction Kitchen are designed to operate like mini-restaurants, which explains why each stall has their own decor and different ambience to go with it. Over at La Pastificio, the ambience felt very homely and cozy and was just perfect for our mother-daughter lunch. They have a wide range of western grub from pas
They have a wide range of western grub from pasta to entrees and even burgers. For the budget conscious, there are also different kind of combo sets available to choose from. My mum opted for their Set B meal ($9.50) which has Fish and Chips, along with a side of canned drink and a scoop of ice cream. As for me, I had a hard time choosing from the wide variety of dishes available but I eventually went with the Ham & Mixed Vegetable Aglio Olio ($7.20).
The food were served within a reasonable amount of time and I thought it was cute that the fish and chips were served in a ship-like plate. The Aglio Olio looked simple and tame, but it actually packed quite a punch. The flavour was quite strong and it was pretty spicy for me. But I liked the ham and wished that there were more of it in the dish. As for the fish and chips, I didn't try it but my mum thought it was quite good (and coming from someone who is a fussy fish eater like her, I think it is considered a compliment!). Unfortunately, for the ice cream, they only had mango ice cream when we were there, which neither my mum or I were fond of. I also thought that it would be nice if they have more selection of desserts available. Otherwise, it was a nice, filling dining experience for us at La Pastificio. If I have the chance to visit La Pastificio again, I'd love to try their Cordon Bleu Chicken and Honey Grilled Chicken!
