Mixed feelings about Pasta Bar (#01-05, 55 Keong Saik Road, tel : +65 6222 0637). Didn't enjoy half of what we tried. Wait staff has attitude and the food is pricey. These guys are by the SJS Group - the people who are behind Bar Milano.
Bread. Not bad.
Their smoked ricotta was nice. Smoky from the first mouthful but oddly lost the smokiness which came back later. Loved the quince/apple compote and marinated grapes that brought in an enjoyable tart sweetness to the creamy ricotta. Those stuff on the top were spiced nuts.
This one was probably me because I didn't know what to expect of the stuffings. Like many contemporary menus, they can be confusing because it says veal & mortadella tortellini, chicken, ricotta, pistachio & sage butter.
I'm assuming the mashy stuff in the tortellini were the veal and mortadella because I couldn't tell. Don't know where the chicken or ricotta was unless they were also in the tortellini. I thought I tasted rosemary but they convinced me it was sage. Didn't enjoy the sage then because it was a little too much.
Those pistachios were soft, not crunchy and not flavourful. That's on them.
So pretty their fettuccine black truffle. This deserves another picture because it was the tastiest pasta we had and was also the most expensive single serving portion. I'm not griping over how much it cost because it was delicious.
From what I saw, just truffle butter, shaven black truffle and Parmigiano Reggiano. Simple and nice and pretty generous portions of the nutty truffle. Love the texture of their fresh fettuccine.
This was their reginette with smoked duck. Check out those chunky duck fat croutons.......on this picture in their social media.
This was the real thing. Don't know where the duck fat croutons went unless those bread crumb-y things were it. Pretty sure no one can tell if they were really duck fat croutons. Nothing particularly Italian about this. Tasted like a stir fried mee hoon kuey with cabbage we could do at home. For $36, it was borderline criminal.
