Salad at La Forketta
When a friend of mine asked me to have lunch at a place called La Forketta, images of dollar bills flying away started flashing in my head. Granted that my friend can have an expensive taste, unless I can help it. When I looked up La Forketta, it really was as I imagined it to be. It wasn’t the super expensive restaurant that I would never eat in, unless it was a once in a lifetime event, but it was expensive enough for me not to go there even occasionally. It was a special holiday and I figured why not treat myself and enjoy the company of good friends while I was at it.
Some Kind of Pasta at La Forketta
La Forketta is located in a rather expensive neighborhood of Nassim Road. I know this road to be where a lot of embassies are. There are some houses here and they look absolutely lovely but I can’t even imagine living there unless I’m some kind of billionaire who doesn’t care about money. It is a stone’s throw away from Orchard Road but there are no MRT stations nearby, the closest one would have to be Orchard station which is still a couple of blocks away. Anyway, this is a nice walk from Orchard station and there are a few shopping centers along the way.
Looks Like Shrimp but It is Pasta
So how was it? We went there for lunch and there weren’t any customers yet. It seems it was because it was a special holiday. Perhaps there will be more in the evening. The interiors were almost like a hotel and it was dim such that you won’t remember that it was noon time. We ordered a few pasta dishes to share some names which I nave never heard before. Okay, I only know spaghetti. I was never the pasta fanatic that a friend of mine is but I did like the food here. The pasta we had was al dente and the sauces were very flavorful. The ambience is what I like most and if were to bring someone for an intimate dinner, I would definitely consider this place. As for the price, for this kind of place, I think the prices are okay. You do pay for the ambience and a dinner here might just be worth it.
