Gracie and I passed by this place while looking for Brawn Steakhouse previously, one of the rare occasions that we are at Marina Bay Link Mall. We wanted to go in to satisfy our growling stomachs but still we resisted the tempting thought. So on another occasion, with S and J, after our Pink Ribbon Walk to support the Breast cancer patients, we decided to fill our stomachs with some pastas.
Stealing a glimpse of people's pasta, we decided that the portions are abit too much to finish if we were to order one pasta each, so we ordered a set of "half half pasta set" (Carbonara and Olive oil based vongole) and a Napolitean pasta.

Carbonara came with a raw egg yolk, the cream sauce is flavourful without being too overpowering. Its consistency is more liquid and makes it easier to finish without feeling too sick of it. After the meal, I saw a version which has meat sauce with carbonara (best of both worlds), something that I planned on trying on my next visit.
Vongole on the other hand comes across as a bit dry and bland, but it acts as a balance from the other 2 stronger tasting pasta. However, no surprises from this pasta.

| Napolitean Pasta |
Napolitean pasta is a tomato based pasta with capsicums and sausage and I think i tasted some cream cheese along the way. The egg yolk is half cooked and creamy, blends well with the rest of the pasta. And again, i saw a cream cheese version on the menu and I guess I will be back to try that as well.. LOLZ!

All 3 of us wiped out all the pastas and left the place feeling satisfied. Overall was a good experience with the yummy pastas, even though service was abit lacking and the waiting time for food was kinda too long, about 45 mins. We spotted the lady from the table next to us buy a Polar puff to fill her stomach while waiting for her order. To be fair to them, this might be due to the sudden surge of customers from the Pink Ribbon Walk and also because their service crew are rather new.
