I've been recommended this place which I've passed numerous times by a colleague. The bustling lunch crowd here looked promising as there hasn't been a time that I recall seeing empty seats. The food here was.....well, edible stuff. While I have not serious gripes, I'm not likely to come back again. Feel free to disagree with me. Creation Cafe hass set lunches at from $10.90 which includes soup, pasta and a drink. A top up of $4 gets one a dessert of choice from their menu. The choices of pasta are limited to fuscilli, linguine, spaghetti and mushroom ravioli.
Today's soup of the day was a carrot cream soup that had a cheesy taste to it. Immediately the cheese scored with me. I liked it. I'm was actually surprised that it wasn't another cream of mushroom number which seems so rampant. The side of fried calamari (an extra order for sharing
) was mundane. Not the worst of fried calamari I've eaten, but I didn't think much of it. Maybe I'm not so much into deep fried things. Just can't shake off the oily feel after too much of them.
The linguine vongole aglio looked a lot better in the picture than real life. It tasted a tad "stir fried oily" with little garlic flavour to speak of. Which triggered memories of a couple of places that did pasta that way which I've sworn off. Lol. Really dissatisfied with the clams. Tiny shrivelled looking pieces of meat that when put together doesn't make a half mouthful. The mushroom succeeded in making the pasta look more clam filled than it really is.

This place serve the best "non-Italian" pasta in Singapore imo. I seriously start to doubt your tastebuds after reading this post.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you shouldn't set the bar against the food here with your previous authentic Italian experience.
It is like comparing your experience eating chicken rice in Australia and Singapore.
Well, you can doubt my tastebuds for all you want. Would I even bother for someone who doesn't even have the balls to leave a name?
ReplyDeleteYou probably havent eaten much non-italian pasta. I'm positive of it.
