[CLOSED] Strands & Grains

3.5/5 $7.50 overall a decent rendition of beer battered fish and chips. The beer batter has a mild fragrance of beer, but can be quite heavy and traps a lot of oil. Portion is slightly on the larger side.

Decent plate of carbonara with a strong cheesy flavor and mushroom aftertaste.

Any lover of fried food would be enamoured with the man-sized slab of piping hot, moist and flaky white fish coated in a light, crispy batter, but I struggled towards the end as the greasiness got to me and the overly sweet and watery tartare sauce wasn’t helping things.Still value-for-money but I’m looking forward to trying their Tom Yum pasta next time.

Taste: 3.5/5

Had been passing by this stall for quite some time whenever I am at Marine Parade/Tanjong Katong and been wanting to try them, considering they have pretty rave reviews on Instagram (despite only having a few posts) on their Tom Yum Seafood Pasta and I am really glad I finally got around to try this.

The Tom Yum Grilled Chicken Pasta is not listed as an item on the menu (the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta has a place on the menu), but one can easily mix and match the pasta here by choosing the sauce and "patty" option that is on the list. No regrets at all; the Tom Yum comes unadulterated here with its full on tanginess and punchy spiciness that laces around the al-dente noodles — absolutely shiok, along with the smoky grilled chicken pieces. I would probably say it's the most value-for-money Tom Yum Pasta out there, given it's just $7 at a food court (the same one that houses Roxy Laksa in Roxy Square), and even probably the best Tom Yum Pasta one can get here!

Awesome oodles of noodles of tomyum seafood pasta! Crunchy prawns & fresh squid cut in bite sizes.
