Lunch with Gweezer. I came here today because I remembered having their garlic prawn pasta before and that it was quite tasty and inexpensive. It seems that memory has again betrayed me as it appeared different from what I had remembered. It's a glaring reminder of Mr Bean where the differences could have been attributed to the fact that I haven't eaten there for years. Has my taste changed so much or was it a differently done thing?
From what I hear, the garlic prawn pasta was a talked about dish. There have been more than a few people who have been asking me if I've had it and I've always given them the same affirmative reply saying that I liked it. It's time to re-program my automated reply to that.
Lunch began with an interesting mushroom, pesto & parmesan frittata.
The frittata was pretty good. Was soft, almost akin to densely layered steamed egg with portpbello mushrooms buried inside. The egg was generously drizzled in olive oil and some pesto. The overall taste was light in flavour and portions were pretty generous.
The garlic prawn pasta definitely didn't look like what I remembered, so I'm wondering if I remembered it wrong. This looked and tasted like it had been pan fried on a wok. It's also spicier than I recall. From the picture you can see that the spaghetti is really cut up. It's much better than what Mr Bean offers, however there's too much of a reminder of each other. The slick oily aftertaste didn't sit that well. So, I guess it'll be the last time I'm eating this.
hmm.. not sure why u didnt like the garlic prawn pasta. i quite like it the last few times i had it. Perhaps its inconsistency.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is inconsistency. It's really not how I remembered it. Does it look like how you last had it?

i actually have quite a few entries on this.
It does look somewhat different to me. Yours doesn't look like it has cut up spaghetti for one. Can't really see what other differences apart from that. But i remember liking it when I first had it.
