Pasta 🍝

Not that much of a fan of the black pepper prawn pasta here at Violet Oon's kitchen as I was hoping for something a little more reminiscent of black pepper crab. While the pasta was cooked al dente, the prawns huge and fresh, I didn't quite like the black pepper sauce that coated the spaghetti. It lacked the fieriness of typical pepper dishes and I felt that a little too much vinegar was added to the sauce, making the dish a tad too sour and overwhelming the focus on the pepper. I would guess that this a contemporary take on the traditional black pepper prawn/crab dish but sometimes, old school still rules.

A peranakan twist on an Italian staple, the buah keluak pasta is sure to capture your attention. However, while filled with flavour from spices and the buah keluak, the pasta seemed to taste a little bland in the saltiness department. That would be only gripe about this dish.

This crab meat pasta from The Marmalade Pantry at ION is easily one of the best tasting pastas you can find in Singapore. Also, it is extremely value for money if you happen to have The Entertainer app, which gives you a 1-for-1 deal when ordering main courses. Definitely would be visiting this place again for more pasta. In the meanwhile, I think a diet is in order
