Joining the likes of Ippudo, Sushi Express, Osaka Osho and many more, Papparich’s latest outlet is situated at Westgate. Papparich serves up Straits-inspired fare, with many items on the menu focusing on cuisines that are close to our hearts such as Kaya Roti, Curry Noodles and Nasi Lemak.The Hainanese Toasted Bread with Butter & Sugar was a thick toast well toasted with a crusty, toasty surface but retaining a fluffy interior.

The Hainanese Toasted Bread with Butter & Sugar was a thick toast well toasted with a crusty, toasty surface but retaining a fluffy interior. The butter was well spread over the bread and there was a reasonable amount of sugar sprinkled.
The Wholemeal Bakar with Margarine and Kaya had a generous spread of kaya and margarine but was a bit inconsistent with few pieces having more kaya and vice versa. The Bakar itself was toasted but still fluffy. While the dish was quite faultless, it just lacked a wow-factor.
Presented in a steamer, the Steamed Otak-Otak was easily one of the best looking dishes of the day. The fish was bouncy and provided a nice chew. The marination seemed significantly light but was still rather tasty. The fish paste could be more consistent in texture though; there was a huge chunk of fish in the Otak-Otak that ruined the texture of it.
The Char Kway Teow seemed rather promising on first look, but seemed rather usual in its taste. Adding on to the disappointment was the texture; the Kway Teow were all sticky and clumped up together in a lump, and the prawns felt pretty overcooked as well.
A rather wholesome dish, the Curry Laksa Noodles came with condiments such as Chicken and Fish Cake. It was rather balanced in flavour without being too spicy nor too coconuty, giving an old-school taste for the dish. The chicken were also rather tender and came off from the bone easily. It would have been better if the Curry Laksa gravy was more flavourful as it might come off as slightly bland for people who enjoy heavy-tasting food.While the meal at Papparich felt generally average with several misses, one of its main drawbacks would be the pricing. Many of the items felt rather overpriced for its quality and portions, which might discourage patrons to return for a meal in the future.
