Pasta

As much as I would love to sing praises about this dish, I can only give credit to it's delicious broth, and the addition of beans to the dish but broth and beans aside, I thought it was a mistake to order what I'd call "the Italian wannabe dumpling". Sorry, but it reminded me too much of the Chinese 水饺s only these were wrapped in pasta instead of the semi-transclusent dumpling skin. Guess the pasta made this dish slightly heavy even though the filling wasn't all that dense. The disappointment though, was in the taste department of the filling... I just found it a little too bland for my liking :(

I have to say, that this being my third visit AND third order of the pumpkin and shrimp pasta at TGS... I made the right choice to follow my intuition on all three occasions. There's just something about this dish - perhaps an illusion of it being a somewhat healthy dish, or the exoticness of pumpkin (yes, prior to my first visit I never had pumpkin in my life; now it's a different matter 😏) idk - which makes me want to order it again and again!
