Pasta de Waraku

Yong Rui drove us over to Clarke Quay from Chinatown after lunch and we went to Pasta de Waraku for desserts. This has a similar concept to Shokudo Japanese Pasta & Pizza as both specialize in Japanese pasta served in various different ways. Since its focus is on pasta, the selection of desserts is rather limited.

The tiramisu cake gives a nice bite to the smooth ice cream. I like the contrast of the sweetness of the banana and the slightly tart strawberries. Other than that, this is decent but not outstanding.

Maccha Ice Cake ($6.80++) is actually just green tea ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce and garnished with red beans and chopped yellow jello.

Contrary to its misleading name, this is not a cake at all. The green tea flavor is strong enough with the slight bitter aftertaste I like. However, I think this is a bit over-priced for such a simple dessert.

Service was quite efficient since we were there at the off-peak hours. Diners facing the window can enjoy a view of the whole clarke quay area and also watch people being flung into the sky by the G-Max reverse bungy.

One thing I noticed was that the table for two was small as the table was crowded with many different condiments and a stand for the menu. These probably took up almost half of the table space! Ask to sit at a larger table if you like space—unless you are there during the peak dining hours which may leave you with little choice.
