Spagtacular, Singapore

Spagtacular is a very new restaurant offering traditional and creative fusion spaghetti with a local twist.

The location is easy to find.   It is just a 5-min walk from Clarke Quay MRT and right opposite Law Society.

The interior is minimalist.  There are not a lot of seats and they fill up fast during weekday lunchtime.  The most surprising thing was how quiet the place was.  Even though the restaurant is right beside South Bridge Road, I could hear nothing from my seat.

Pan-seared Seabass S$16

Pan-seared seabass tossed in homemade sambal, served with a balsamic-tossed salad and herb-butter seared potatoes.  Option to choose between sambal and miso sauce is available.

Housepour White Wine S$10/ glass; S$50 / bottle

Pencarrow Sauvignon Blanc

Interesting colours.  I do like colour-block dishes.  The balsamic-tossed salad and herb-butter seared potatoes tasted great individually and go great together.   The sambal certainly added an interesting something to the fish.  I highly recommend getting the housepour Sauvignon Blanc.  It goes excellently with the fish and mutes the heat of the sambal a little.

El Pesto S$10

Basil, garlic and pine nuts blended into a pesto sauce, which is then tossed with pasta.

Add-ons:

S$2 for additional bacon

S$3 for additional prawns

S$4 for additional salmon

The colours are really refreshing and the pesto was excellent.  It was zesty and refreshing.

Geylang Serai S$13

A fragrant blend of curry pastes and spices tossed with fresh pasta and served with marinated fried chicken cubes.

I really hate curry noodles because they use the rubbishy yellow Asian noodles which become soggy and mushy and quite disgusting when soaked in curry. So I am grateful for this.  They have used spaghetti instead, which remain al dente but have soaked up the delicious flavour of the curry paste.  The fried chicken cubes added crunch and interest to the texture-scape.  Once again, the housepour Sauvignon Blanc goes excellently with the mild spiciness of this dish.  It really was a very drinkable wine.
