The verdict
BolehJason finds the pastas enjoyable mainly for their creamy, addictive consistency, but the seafood is sparse and not fresh and the flavours are one-dimensional. Worth it only for the price, not for the promised ingredients.
Highlights
- Price: Pastas priced RM16-17 each
- Taste: Creamy cooking-cream sauces cling well, but seafood is stale and flavours one-dimensional
- Other: Grab listing still shows old location, causing a 4.5km re-ride

- Alfredo chicken pastaScore 6.4 out of 10

We're at Drew's Kitchen Pasta, but we had a little backstory. Took Grab to the wrong location. They changed their location, but didn't update. Ordered a new Grab jam for 4.5km and now we are here. Some Tom Yum Seafood, only 16 ringgit. I smell the seafood more than the Tom Yum. First bite with just the pasta. The sauce seems to cling to the spaghetti la, quite savoury, sour tasting Tom Yum, it has a mild spiciness, powdery Tom Yum taste that you often find that flavour in mamak. It works in this creamy, buttery tasting pasta sauce. Pasta is not mushy, lower end of al dente la. I don't feel much lemongrass inside. Is it super Tomyami? Not really. This one's like the morsel also, koyak already. These are also don't have morsel. Ayy, this is all an illusion, their seafood is empty. Okay, this one got a bit stringy, empty sack. Seafood version of what livery is. Sotong, I see maybe 1-2 piece. It's halfway becoming mushy already, so it's not really fresh. The lala also is shrunken and small. The overall taste of the pasta is still enjoyable, for sure not because of the seafood. For its price it's a 7. Alfredo chicken, 17 ringgit. Smell test, cheese. First scoop, I taste more of the raw dough from the spaghetti. It has some slight saltiness but I'm not getting much of the dairy flavour. A very neutral cooking cream kind of taste profile. Chopped chicken breast. I don't think the chicken breast is seasoned, it's plain. Missed opportunity because if you add a bit of pepper maybe some salt paprika whatever more balanced to the high muakability of pastas like Alfredo or Carbonara. I don't taste the cheese, the flavour of the dairy. It is one of those really rare weird dishes. One-dimensional taste but yet with the creamy consistency and the well-cooked pasta, it still has an addictive quality to it. 6.4. Salted egg seafood pasta 16 ringgit. Doesn't smell like salted egg. Hold on a minute, I understand it now. This is not giving salted egg DNA, it's more like crab steak mixed with Hokkien mee. You get a bit of that sandy yolk texture but it's those low-grade, left for too long, served at you at those mamak kind of half-boiled egg taste. Trying three of their pasta, it seems that cheat code is using cooking cream for that addictive creamy consistency. All the pastas have a similar flavour with a slight distinction. This tastes like 5% of salt out of the egg. 5% of salt to 8.5% of salt to 8.5%.
