Pastamania SG50 Menu Review: Delicious Patriotism

This year, they’re kicking off the festivities with locally inspired pasta dishes which frankly is one of the better SG50 ideas I’ve heard. The new additions will include appetizers and desserts at $6.50 and main courses will go at $16.90 . The seasoning was off and the dish felt unbalanced.

The sprouts at the top overpowered the entire dish as well so stay clear of those. Prawn Salad Stuffed Tau Pok This appetizer fared slightly better, the prawn salad was sweet and creamy and was a good accompaniment to the tau pok.

It’s nice on it’s own, but I’m not sure if it warrants the rate tag it comes with. There’s just not enough of a punch in terms of savor for me to order it again. I love the idea of the apple salad though, it feels like an Asian version of a classic Waldorf and it wasn’t too bad.

Of all the appetizers, I’d say this one presents the most bang for your buck. You no longer have to travel to some off the wall hipster cafe to get your salted egg pasta.

The only problem is that it’s heavy, so a full portion might be too much for some people. While the sauce is probably not as intense as some of the best chilli crabs on the island, it does the job.

I just can’t make sense of the green peppers in the dish though. The fish is locally farmed to really bring in the SG50 spirit.

It’s a great tasting dish, and the hei bi brings a nice salty tang to the dish. It’s my favourite dish on the menu but I’ll warn you now, sambal and cream will do wonders to your next visit to the toilet.

Despite that, I loved the spicy tang and the sauce coated the pasta really well. Dessserts Goreng Pisang Gelato In theory this would make a great dish, cold on top of hot, crunchy and soft, and it’s a great local twist of a banana split.

Perhaps it was the type of banana they used but it was just no match for the Goreng Pisang we know and love. It’s a great combination that works well, if you’re not a fan of chocolate sauce you might want to try this.
