@twystpasta is a build-your-own-pasta joint that puts their own twist on everyone’s beloved Italian staple. They’ve never been on my radar until they recently began operating in Singpost Center, right under my gym. Well that’s quite the pleasant surprise, I guess that’s my post workout bulking meals sorted then. If you’re undecided and unsure of what to eat, Twyst has six default pasta options for you to select and they all look plenty pleasant, or you can go wild & build your own pasta.⠀

I chose to build my own pasta on a sauce base of Miso Butter, one of Twyst’s unique, well, twists. I find myself gravitating towards penne in recent years, and penne was the pasta of choice here. You get to choose a topping (think baby spinach, cherry tomatoes and other assorted vegetables) and a protein, so smoked duck & baby spinach it was for me. Of course, that wasn’t the end of it, and I added more smoked duck for the low price of an additional $2.20, cherry tomatoes for a mere $1.20, and more garlic for free. The grand total was a bargain, as this ponderous pasta plate cost all of fifteen dollars and forty cents flat.⠀

The miso butter was rich and notably sweet, and while I was wondering why a miso butter would be this sweet, I certainly didn’t mind it. The sweetness matched the saltiness, and both were potent enough to flavour everything without overwhelming your palate. The penne was done slightly past al dente, but it wasn’t egregiously so. I was proudly patting myself on the back for ordering an extra portion of smoked duck, as I got a whole lot of juicy, savoury smoked duck for just an extra couple of bucks. As for the veg, they’re quite well cooked, and they give pleasant pops of colour to the pasta.⠀

Don’t get it twysted, @twystpasta prices might be a bargain, but their pastas are blockbuster stuff.
