Aglio Olio – Singapore’s Version of Pasta

Annie treated Yanxi and me today to lunch at Aglio Olio, located at:

3 Pickering Street
China Square Central #01-40/41
Singapore 048660
Tel: 6327 3622

It was mad crowded for a Friday stormy afternoon, but thankfully Annie has reserved a nice corner table for us :-)

I ordered Seafood Olio ($13.90), Annie and Yanxi ordered Bacon Olio ($12.90). We shared Chicken Wings ($5.90) and Combo Set (Nuggets and Fries) ($6.90). We also upgraded our meal to a set that comes with a lemonade and soup of the day ($2.50 for the upgrade).

Asparagus Soup - light creamy soup with full of asparagus bits that made me feel very very healthy.

My seafood olio (spicy level) - a bit too spicy for my comfort. I was disappointed with the texture, the aglio olio was lacking its fundamental characteristic that all pasta should have - which is the Al Dente factor. I was pretty sad actually, coz the taste was great. If the Al Dente bit was present, i really will give it a wonderful rating!

The taste was very flavourful and well-rounded. Enough seafood as well.

Chicken wings - good and juicy! Prefer the IKEA ones though :P

Combo - nice fat fries (soft inside, crispy outside), nuggets so-so.

Their Bacon Olio.

The service was super prompt and very good for weekday lunch where everyone only has an hour to spare. I don't mind going back again to try their other items :)
