Pasta and drama


Pasta de Gohan
recently hit our shore. after ermm..
about 10 outlets in our neigbouring country, Singapore. 6 WARAKU & 4 PASTA de WARAKU
(i still dont understand why ours is Pasta de Gohan and others are "WARAKU")

Japanese Pasta? When you hear that, you’ll first think about udon, soba or even ramen, but I'm actually talking about Italian pasta, just done with a different hand. I'm lacking the true Italian culinary experience. Personally, typical Japanese pasta usually lands itself at least in the flavor category, near the top.

From outside, the arrays of plates 90 degrees up for viewing purposes is an advertisement itself. this is actually a cool idea, i mean, you have something to expect when you ponder through the menu later.
Walking in, you'll see a much wider range of their menus.

we did not eat much. the Menu was sober.
most of the items were "out of stock" or "coming soon".
it spoils the whole purpose of the food sample wall cabinets..

はてなマークはてなマークはてなマークはてなマーク
after making decisions as if you are choosing husbands, you enter happily decided what you want from the cabinet, having to open the Menu and they DO NOT serve that particular dish you had been fancied, then you have to waste another half an hour to decide from the Menu. not because you are spoiled of choices this time, but there are just so many things unserved, which will makes you wonder whether the served ones are those stale bad ones.

I am not that patient compliant when it comes to foodビックリマークビックリマークビックリマーク

we decided to opt for the package meant for 2. missed out the drink cause i was darn pissed with the Menu AND the Service. i have to drag my ass out and called the waitress who definitely prefers to cater to the opposite sex

start off with soup. creamy and cheesy. don't really like it. too cheesy...Jasmine, my dinner date, being a cheese-lover heart it though.

since i dont fancy too-cheesy stuff, and Jasmine is not a vege-person, the salad was all to myself.
well, it taste like...salad.

What's different about pasta from Japan? Already being a noodle and rice culture, the pasta is usually cooked perfectly, al dente, maybe just for the sake of being able to say those Italian words.

mine. i realised through this post i failed to write a satisfying post. i did not jot down the name of the pasta.

hers. with half-cooked egg which she poked and spread it evenly.

i love my pasta naked. without sprinkle of cheese. and the dish itself is cheesy enough.

she loves her with lotsa of cheese. and basically swallow the whole bottle of Parmesan powder..
so all in all, she is eating more cheese than spaghetti.

the service flops and ironically, we were just sitting below the big board that states their policy

so much so for the policy eh

all in all. i would still recommend since well, Singaporean love their Waraku and so should we. so that they can open up more branches here.

now the question is to chop or not to chop. with my meter-squared face, i doubt i'll look half as goodガーン

my unproductive morning

woke up, having hang-over from red wine last night,
stagger to Dim sum early 8.
came home. stuffed. still having enough space for Mamee snack (the chicken flavored).
and off to bed to continue where i left earlier.

2more days to go before i bid goodbye to this heavenly lifestyle
