Linguine Carbonara & Cheese Sticks @ Pastamania [Nex Mall]

Once upon a time, in the eastern part of Singapore known as Marine Parade, i had my first take on Pastamania; then an upcoming casual restaurant that managed to gain quite a following in Singapore's competitive food industry.

I wasn't impressed and only had my second try a few years later; which was once again a disappointing experience. However, one of my ex colleagues loves Pastamania so much; we had our once in a blue moon meet up at its Nex branch the day before.

Linguine Carbonara
The above was chosen for one reason; comparison as i had this a few times in the past one year and it would likely result in a more impartial review.

Turkey bacon was too hard. Linguine had a firm, slurpy spring while the parmesan cheese cream was... well, more tasteful than what i expected.

In all, slightly above average although better than what i had in pastamania before then.

Cheese Sticks
A note of caution (courtesy of my ex colleague) - order this only if you are sharing with more than two persons and eat them before they turn cold.

The melted filling could be more cheese intensive although the crunchy crust was a delight to have - while it was still scalding hot.
