Swensen's - Spaghetti Aglio Olio

Spaghetti Aglio Olio ($12.50)
Okay so Swensen's is not the first name that comes to mind when you think of pasta.
But since the revamped their menu a few years back, they have quite a few pasta dishes to offer.

Favourites include their Crayfish Pasta, Black Pepper Seafood Pasta and Baked Rice choices.
But one pasta dish that most people seem to enjoy is Aglio Olio.

The Spaghetti Aglio Olio at Swensen's is quite a generous serving actually.
The pasta was okay and the mushroom and garlic flavour really do come through very well. A little bit on the salty side though...

One thing to note is that it is quite spicy! If you look closely, you can see the cut chili padi!

Maryah's Verdict:
Spaghetti Aglio Olio 2/5

I guess there may be other places for you to have a better dish of pasta but if "you're SO going Swensen's" then you know that have a pretty decent one to offer if you really want some pasta.

    1. Hi Nieya!

      Yeah we agree! The Pastamania one tends to be a little dry sometimes but at least you have the option of adding extras (mushrooms, prawns) at Pastamania! Well, I guess it depends on individual taste!

      Glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for the comment!

    1. Hi Nazeera! Thanks for your comment!

      Well it seems like Pastamania is on the losing end again! We find that their Aglio Olio tends to be a bit dry sometimes. But we haven't had the chance to try the one at Pizza Hut though! We always end up ordering something else when we visit :P
      Hopefully we get to sample it soon since you mentioned it's quite nice!

      Thanks for the tip and thanks for your support!!

  3. I am a rather avid Aglio Olio fan - the best one so far is at Spize's Simpang Bedok. You must try that out! :)

      We eat there sometimes but would never have thought of ordering the Aglio Olio!
      Guess we might do that next time! :)

      Thanks again!
