Pasta Zanmai, finally.

Why finally, you wonder? Because since its establishment I don't know when but assume it has been around for quite some time, I have heard of horror stories and equally terrible reviews on the food served hence, I've made it a point never to dine there. Ironically, I've been to Sushi Zanmai plenty of times, usually the one in Gardens and so far, I have yet to experience any unpleasantness/displeasure *touch wood* which I hope to remain so.

Anyway, since I lost terribly in the World Cup 2010 predictions and losers can't be choosers, I was given the 'opportunity' to try out the Pasta Zanmai outlet in MV one stormy afternoon. Scanned through the impressive looking menu and ordered something safe, pasta in curry. Trust me, based on my experiences so far, no dish that I've ordered with Japanese Curry has ever gone wrong before and if you ever had to encounter such misfortune, you should request that the chef commit seppukku right before you.

Big Bowl, Small Serving and just good enough to prevent a possible seppukku, would have been much better (for me) if the calamaris were battered and deep fried, yums

The dish turned out alright, well, I admit that it was much better than expected but felt that the combination doesn't really blend well due to the texture of spaghetti. Side dishes of edamame and pizzas were okay, rather expensive for its serving size and the Heart Mix Fruit Juice was quite refreshing. Service was rather slow though, which was to be expected, according to my colleague.

Well, I don't expect myself to be patronizing this outlet again anytime soon given the variety of choices available in MV as well as Gardens Mall, unless I had to give in to someone's demand unwillingly, yet again.
