Call me selfish, maybe I didn't want to report about it, because I wanted it all to myself. My favorite cuisines are Italian and Japanese, so the fusion of both only excites me. This is my comfort food at its best.
I keep on forgetting the name of the restaurant, and honestly it is a mouthful. I just remember it as the restaurant where Big Buddha used to be. And you know what, it might be owned by the same company. What do I know? Anyway, on to the food!
One of my favorites is the Mentaiko Shrimp and Japanese Herb. What I love the most about this pasta is the cod roe! This is how I spice up my ready-made Muji pasta sauces, I usually add botarga, left-over caviar, or the vegetarian caviar of Ikea. This is really good pasta! Just add a little salt to bring out the flavor of the sauce.
I also enjoy ordering their pasta dishes which entail breaking the yolk of an egg placed in the center, and then mixing it to bind the pasta and the sauce. One of our pasta orders last night was the Sausage, Bacon, and Salmon. The sauce is soy based with butter. Did I mention you had to break the egg yolk and mix it in? :)
What's an Italian dinner without pizza, right? Ditching the Japanese fusion, we ordered the Longganiza Pizza. Really appetizing. I just wish they added more variants of the local sausage, the mixture of flavors might be pretty exciting, who knows?
