Pasta Supremo Review: Ma La Pasta And Bak kwa Jam From $5++ At Suntec City

Therefore, when Pasta Supremo first introduced and boasted about using fresh handmade pasta, I was expectedly apprehensive. Food at Pasta Supremo Pasta Supremo aims to serve fresh pasta at affordable quotations.

This is echoed in their menu, where they serve a Haus Marinara and Sichuan Pepper pasta ( ma la ) for only $8++ . Toppings like Supremo Pork Meatball ($5++) and Bak Kwa Jam ($10++) are also available to zhng up your meal.

My favourite was the long pasta that’s rather similar to bucatini . Strands of long pasta were tossed in a luscious marinara sauce and topped with a chunky meatball.

Having expressed my amusement to the chef, I was duly informed that rendered pork fat was added into the marinara. Beef and pork were mixed with diced water chestnut for an added crunch, breaking the textural monotony of ground meat. My preconceived disdain for handmade pasta came from all the soggy overcooked ones I’ve had at high-ses restaurants.

It was ostensibly the best handmade pasta I’ve had. There was still a bite to it, shattering my perception that fresh ones lack texture.

From the way it looked, you would think that it would taste light and gentle. A light sesame dressing was spooned onto slices of sous vide beef, finished off with shreds of daikon that highlighted the torched crust of the meat. It also had notes of Thai chilli sauce, giving the dish a tinge of heat.

Amplifying it were the streaks of fat dispersed throughout the grain of the meat, bestowing an unctuous mouthfeel. Being served Spiced Supremo Chicken Skins ($6++) was thus a moment of liberation for me.

It was pimped with bacon and chilli oil, which gave it an elevated dimension in taste. Ambience at Pasta Supremo Walking in, an air of urban chic just exudes from the restaurant. The verdict I began the article by stating how I was initially apprehensive about Pasta Supremo’s handmade pasta.

There were a few lacklustre plates of pasta that we did not feature, where the noodles were too soft and soggy, only salvaged by a tasty sauce. But for what it’s worth, that’s the beauty of handmade pasta.
