the pasta place + coffee club how else to celebrate the last day of school but by pigging out? so after gesl, a few of us (yina, jiaen, caijuan & i) headed to the pasta place by sakae at tiong bahru plaza for some pasta-loving. had a bad encounter with a dishonest, unprofessional and reckless taxi driver from premier taxis, but let's not cloud our delightful delicious moments. the place was surprising not very crowded. would have expected some lunch crowd leftover when we arrived but there were only a few stragglers. they have a set promotion, which is an additional 99 cents for soup of the day, green tea and ice-cream. it was worth it.  the green tea. first round tasted like water. however when they refilled, the difference in concentration could be noted, probably our first cup was left sitting for a while.  soup of the day: kimchi. it was very spicy and i couldn't help coughing. but you get used to it after a while and it grows on you. lots of mushrooms for mushroom lovers.  i can't remember the name of their dishes. should have taken it down. it was all in japanese and no translation in english. have absolutely no idea what to expect if not for the pictures. we had to ask the waitress to describe the dishes for us. mine was chicken with this seasoning that usually have with rice in japanese restaurants. it was good and recommended by the waitress. the pasta was garlicy and they were generous with the chicken.  caijuan had a pasta similar to mine but with pork. we both preferred mine. her pork was marinated with lots of ginger and that was definitely a turn off for me.  yina had the soup pasta with seafood. she said it was better than benten's and that's saying something (i love benten)! lots of seafood. she finished her pasta and she still had seafood (prawns, fish, etc) leftover.  braised pork pasta. jiaen thinks it's more like teriyaki but he polished it all off.  the single scoop of vanilla for dessert. they could have served it on a bigger plate. it came up to about $20 per person after service charge and gst. it was a satisfying and filling meal. will definitely go back for more. xxxxxx it was coffee club at imm for dinner. the outlet like most coffee club outlet was small and packed. however it was extremely crowded today because it was the last day of the uob 1-1 dining offer. we had to queue for about 20 minutes before being seated.   soft shell crab miso pasta. affordable even without discount, only ($11.80). it's a tad salty according to my sis but she can't deny the lure of that huge chunk of soft shell crab.  chicken wings, tasted like any normal fried chicken wings. nothing special about the seasoning or marinate. but the salad accompaniment was good.  classic caesar salad with a twist. the basket is made of cheese. absolutely love it (basket, not the salad)!!!  garlic prawn pasta. it was pesto and not aglio olio as my parents expected. mum didn't like it, but dad did. i love pesto and i thought it was good.  baked chicken & zucchini rice. love the sauce and cheese. but very little chicken.  apple crumble. more like leaning tower of apple. didn't like their variation. too much apple too little crumble (usually the tart complements it but they decided to do without the tart). it was crumbling by the time the waiter served it to us.  lychee liquor tart (can't remember the exact name). i think this is a unique concoction! the liquor goes very well with the lychee. when topped with the pistachios and ice cream... yummmmmy!!!!
