Dinner at Pasta J

Pasta J is a quaint restaurant down at Upper Thomson Road, perfect place if you want to satisfy the pasta craving. I had dinner at Pasta J 2 weeks back, this is my second time there. My first encounter with Pasta J was a mere coincidence. HL and I were walking along Upper Thomson looking for a good place to have dinner, I wanted pasta that night and so we walked through Upper Thomson looking for a good place to have pasta. I was pleasantly surprise with the flavours Pasta J offers as they use pork in most of their dishes. I am very cautious in choosing a pork dish because pork has an after-taste if it is not cooked properly.

The Muddy Mushroom Soup Pasta J offers has a smooth texture, the mushrooms are very well diced, so you can literally drink the soup without having to chew mushroom bits. Pasta J includes bits of pork in their broth to give it an added taste, making it very savoury.

 Muddy Mushroom Soup

 The Bourdain and Mad Mac & Cheese 3.0 with pork sausage patty.

 Mad Mac & Cheese 3.0 with pork sausage patty.

This Mac & Cheese may seem small in size, but it is very filling. Brimming with heaps of cheese and pork, this delectable dish is a great change from the usual Mac & Cheese we enjoy. 

The Bourdain

The Bourdain is a tomato based sauce cooked with pork sausage meat ball and bacon along with some herbs. I believe pesto is used in this dish because Pasta J is famous for its Punchy Pesto Sauce, seems like pesto is involve in everything. I love how addictive The Bourdain, both times I have been here, I had this same dish for my main course.

Lemon, Honey, Rosemary & Ginger Chicken Wings

I was hesitant to order this at first because I don't enjoy ginger, but HL loves chicken so I thought we shall try something different on our second visit here. These chicken wings were well grilled, however I prefer Korean Chicken. Nonetheless it was an interesting dish to try.

All in all, I would recommend this place for the pasta lovers out there and for the pasta skeptics, try Pasta J and you will be changed. On my last note, I still want to go back there and try their pesto dishes, thats if I don't get distracted by The Bourdain again
