When I become more picky with my food - pasta in particular - I realized that good pasta should never be taken for granted. It isn't a given that pasta should naturally be delicious, oh I've just had my fair share of eating nasty pasta these days, but at least now I found my official pasta comfort food hunting ground at Ambush! :') It isn't my first visit at Ambush, my first time was at Jurong Point's outlet and it was a pretty good - didn't think much about it sort of experience because at that
It isn't my first visit at Ambush, my first time was at Jurong Point's outlet and it was a pretty good - didn't think much about it sort of experience because at that time I haven't dealt much with bad pastas to appreciate how good it is.I like the wood-based layout of all their outlets, having been physically there at Jurong Point's and Plaza Sing's and now Junction 8's outlets. It gives me a very clean, cozy and comfortable feeling, a perfect setting to eat comfort food. You can also find Ambush at the basement of Takashimaya and a newly opened, glitzy branch at JEM.
Their menu is in the form of an Ambush newspaper; I was so fascinated the first time I saw it! Salad selections include Salmon Belly ($10.20), Duck Confit ($10.80) and Parma Ham & Pineapple ($10.80). You can have Appetizers that range from $3.20 to $8.80.What you see is what you pay.
My favourite section of the menu and thus the zoom-in focus:
The generic menu that is always on display outside:
What my friends ordered:
Bacon & Ham Cream Sauce - $11.20: This was what I ordered the first time I went, a little heavy on the palate as usual just like most cream pastas, but not so much that I wasn't able to finish it. Very much less jelat than Raindrops Cafe's version, which was too heavy to be finished in one seating.
Ambush's Paella - $13.80
Wild Salmon Salad - $8.80 (S) / $10 (L)
Tiger Prawn & Bacon - Garlic Butter & Pine Nuts - $13.20: This is officially my favourite pasta ever. Beef bolognaise will always be my comfort pasta food but THIS has won my heart and stomach over completely with its mouthwatering pasta combination. A slight garlic buttery sheen over the spaghetti noodles and the peeled (Oh, the number one tip to convince a lazy eater to eat prawns) lovely fresh juicy yummy prawns had me wolfing it down my throat at record speed. It's two thumbs up from me. I swear this dish can single-handedly bring me back to Ambush repeatedly. You know it's good when I think I can finish two portions at one go.The icing to the cake of this experience was the excellent service staff who were attentive, entertaining and really friendly despite having almost a full house that day. A stamp of quality and reassurance for a good, fuss-free dinner place.
