Signature Dishes
The The Pasta Shop by Sakae is situated at Wheelock Place near to Orchard Road MRT station so it’s pretty accessible. The signboard was quite cute looking and the idea of having western food like pasta, and burgers in Japanese style was interesting, and that’s why attracted my friend and I to go in there.The restaurant wasn’t big, but it is really spacious. This may partly be due to the fact that there were no other customers around. It’s probably my first time dining in an empty restaurant But ambience wise, it was peaceful and sparkling clean. Decorations were in bright orange and green, which puts diners in a happy mood. The staff was friendly and polite as well. Greeting us in Japanese and carrying a smile around. They were super attentive as well.It puzzled me why there were no other customers around, because their food were not too bad either! I had a Salmon pasta, which smelled awesome. It’s cost around $16.90 from what I recalled, a little pricey but worth the price. The chunks of salmon was huge, and I actually still have a few pieces of them left by the time I finished my pasta. My friend had the Chili Soft-Shell Crab pasta, which cost about $15.90. Unfortunately he dug into the food before I could get a decent photo of it, but trust me, the presentation was beautiful and appealing. The strong spicy aroma makes us hungry even before the dish reached our table. And that's probably one of the reasons why it made my friend gobble it up so quickly. Despite the generous amount of hot red chili sauce, the crab was still surprisingly crispy. I grabbed a taste of it as well, and for all the diners craving for a good spicy dish, or just soft-shall crab fans, this is the dish to go for definitely. Just to add on, they offer Sapporo beer there as well, and it goes very well with the crab pasta.

The Pasta Shop by Sakae has really nice pork meat with aparagus as you can see from the picture above. It is nicely sticked and well placed on the meat. The appearance is already tempting and not to say when you eat them. The teriyaki sauce make it a little sweet and added the saltish taste to it! It is not bad overall and would try them again the next time with my friends!

Had their soup pasta with scallops here. It was good! It was my first time trying the soup pasta and it met my expectations! Love the tastiness of the soup and also the scallops and the seaweed sprinkled on top. My friend had the Terriyaki Chicken dry pasta which was pretty good! I think it tasted better than mine! Its like stir fried pasta with terriyaki sauce and chicken! Good stuff!The variety of pastas here is pretty wide and would definitely recommend it!

A good experience at reasonable price, considering the location and service. Nice ambience and well decorated. It’s lovely! With these first impression, there’s much to look forward for in their food. Ordered a pasta and a side dish costing me around $20 in total. The service size is generous and there’s excess after filling my empty stomach. It would have earned even more marks if the saltiness is better managed. Nevertheless, the food served delivers high level of satisfaction. Love the creamy sauce!Service was efficient and waitresses were polite. They were also pro-active in making recommendations which is good for customers on their first visit. It’s a place for pleasure to the eyes as well as pleasure to the mouth. Get a friend and chill out there!
