Found this newly opened restaurant on open rice. Decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Got there at 6:10 pm. Tables are empty. Guess it is too early for a Friday night?? We go ahead to get seated because we are here to "try".

This restaurant only serves spaghetti, which is fine for us because we are pasta lovers Order 2 dinner sets which include soup, pasta, drink and desert.

1. Daily soup, tomato soup - it comes with a pc of dry toast. Indeed, dry toast is very common in Italy. Most hotels provide dry toast at breakfast. Quickly take a bite... very crispy but taste bland I think it should be improved. About the soup, it is not very exciting either. Just a hint of tomato favor. And it is too starchy. Not sure if it is made of potato or pure starch.

2. Spaghetti with prawn, cherry tomato and chili - I can't eat spicy. So ask to take out the chili. The waitress says no problem. When it comes, I see the dish is sprinkled with chili. I am a bit worried. So my husband asks the lady if it is the "not spicy" version. The lady replies with a friendly smile that the amount of chilli powder is very small and it is for decoration only. Got it. Although it smells very good, the spaghetti is a bit too soft for us. We like it more al dente. Prawn is just average. I enjoy the cherry tomatoes the most. In fact, I'm attracted to this dish because of the cherry tomatoes

3. Carbonara - same problem with the Spaghetti, over cooked. Sauce is ok. But nice presentation.

4. Desert - today's special is mango ice-cream. It is homemade. but I like it more creamy. Hope they can improve in the future.

Overall, nice dinner. nice place. it 's small but cozy. Just that it is a bit too loud from the outside (big street and food market around).

We are satisfied with our first meal here It is just the beginning, hope they can offer more choices, even just by changing the ingridents. Keep it up!!!
