Another standard Japanese outlet, serving a wide range of pastas in various of sauces.
The Pasta with Seaweed sauce and other delectable things on their menu tempted me, after my first visit, I have been there several times, but the Pasta with Seaweed sauce is not served anymore.
But anyway the other pastas and side dishes do not fail.
Chicken Basket: Juicy, flaky chicken which surprised me.
Littleneck clams with butter: Although it was a small portion, the butter taste was strong, and it wasn’t like boiled butter, but a creamy salty taste to the clams, yet you could still taste the sea in the clam.
Deep-fried cubic tofu: This was the best, because I was expecting a crunchy skin, and nothingness inside, but it amazed me because it was tasty and chewy inside, like cheese. The tofu used was “thousand layer tofu” (千葉豆腐, 凍豆腐 or 冰豆腐), not usually fried, but in this case, it worked out very well.
Fried Potato with cheese: Although the name is fried potato, it looks like roasted English potatoes on the menu, so ordered that too, piping hot potato with roasted skin, and cheesy sauce.
Potato Mochi Cheese: Just tastes the same as Cheese new year cake, but adding a dash of black pepper, spices it up.
Juicy sausage combo:
Was pleased with the sauces that came with it, grain mustard, and honey.
Salmon cheese:
Light pockets of crunchy salmon oozing with cheese.
Deep fried Puri Ebi with Cheese: Very salty, but the fishy sort of salty.
PASTA’s
Pasta with seaweed sauce and octopus: (not served anymore)
My favorite, strong in seaweed tones, with chewy octopus.
Prawn spicy carbonara: not very spicy, with tender prawns, and rich sauce, I chose spaghetti, which was just right, not too soft, and not too hard. Poached egg on top, delicious.
Salad pasta:
Wasn’t a good choice, either because the sauce was vinaigrette, which is very watery, so the pasta didn’t soak up the sauce, maybe if it was thicker such as mayonnaise, it would have a better flavour.
