Despite the name mini Short neck clam pasta soup, the portion is not mini at all! 4 clams ler~~ and top on with 2 different type of mushroom!

When the food is served, I thought the waiter serve the wrong table, never thought it would be full size like this.

I guess this is the speciality of Pasta Zanmai

Heartily full & Huge portion

Fresh ingredients

Extra added (mushroom!! my favourite mushroom! )

Which is also the reason of him, who save money all the time, would like to dine in Pasta Zanmai once in awhile. (and I glad that he always choose the occasion I was there! )

Yes, this package is exist in the menu. I forgotten to take the pic of the menu. But somehow it's located at the page, after pasta and all the main food. and come various combo food. YOu will understand after you flip through the menu.

I expect nothing from their chicken terikayi. Chicken seem so common everywhere. So even their most common dish was delicious too! Decided to take a look on the terikayi sauce, taste sweet.. yum yum~~~

And the great thing about dine in One Utama is that you get to buy some real authentic Japanese imported snacks. food at their Japanese outlet here in One Utama!

VERDICT

Overall, the service here is not as friendly as Paradigm Mall. Both my bf and me would agree that we would prefer to go Pasta Zanmai in Paradigm Mall because their service is more friendly, and more welcomed. Anyway, we undestood the reason of them being less friendly. The crowd in One Utama never stop flowing in. But the service crew were quite attentive.

Just that I don't like to see that their beverage bar was stacked full with drank cups..

But the arrangement of the seat...One Utama is more spacious!

Service: 3/5

Environment: 5/5

Food: 4.5/5

Worthy: 4.5/5

Soft Shell Crab Pasta. The pasta was served with soft shell crab on top together with roe. The soft shell crabs were fresh but they were not crunchy, and became slightly soggy due to the simmered sauce. They were slightly salty too. This sauce has a tint of crab sauce in it, which was slightly salty and bitter at the same time. The bitterness was due to the tinge of sesame.

The soup was sweet and flavourful as it has absorb all the sweetness from the capsicums and the beef slices. A very tasty soup indeed.

Unagi Yana. The bed of spaghetti was topped with unagi pieces and some tiny mushrooms. The unagi pieces were juicy and succulent. It was grilled to perfectness and no "fishy" taste. The spaghetti does not have any sauce to go with it, it was dry. However, the spaghetti was springy and cooked till al-dente. It has absorb the sweetness of the unagi and it tasted very good.

Aburi Salmon Pasta (RM23). This was served with a few slices of salmon with spaghetti flooded with sesame sauce. The salmon sashimi was a big piece and thinly-sliced. It was juicy, fresh and succulent. The sesame sauce which tasted delicious, creamy, buttery and strong sesame flavour. The spaghetti was cooked to al-dente, very springy in texture. As a whole, it was a very addictive dish.

This sauce tasted a bit different from the sauce above, as this has a tint of crab sauce in it. I super love this sauce until I think I can drink it, if you ask me too. There were 2 soft shell crab. They were fresh, but was not crunchy because the sauce was layered on top.

Chicken Katsu Pasta. The pasta was topped with fried chicken cutlet. The fried chicken cutlet was coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried till crispiness. A little brown sauce was layered on top of the chicken that give a hint of sweetness. The chicken cutlet was a very big piece and it was tender and soft. The pasta was springy and filled with sesame sauce. The fusion of sesame sauce and the pasta was really flavourful and aromatic.

(Mini Tori Kara-age Garlic Rice)

It sounds mini, but the portion is humongous.

It simply fills you up for a long long time.

Fried Chicken with Garlic Fried Rice. Some Mayonnaise sauce too.

Very crispy because of the chicken biting with the rice at the same time.

Overall, my comment is "I would not order this if it is ala carte". This is the Monday's RM10 set meal by Pasta Zanmai. Cheap but then it was just so so. The chicken was very smooth and coated with sweet sauce on the slightly roasted skin (but not crispy). The egg was runny enough to blend with the rice or chicken BUT the whole dish was super mild. I would say it tasted dull. I added pepper, and some chili flakes, but it did not help much. The sauce could have been done better, which can probabl

The free salad was alright. I liked the sesame salad dressing but the choice of vegetables, "Oh well!". The soup was just complimentary (flavoured).

Oh, the set came with iced lemon tea too. I liked the fact it wasn't too sweet and tasted more like a real lemon tea. A little diluted though.

Mushrooms and chicken can never go wrong together. Pasta Zanmai 's Toriniku to Kinoko no Cream Sauce (Chicken & Japanese Mushroom Cream Sauce Pasta) is one good example. Since this is a Japanese restaurant, Japanese mushrooms are of course added in. Chicken cutlets are fried perfectly that they complicated well with the pasta and mushrooms. The sauce was just nice and not too creamy too. Only problem? Too big portion for me to finish it alone

It is served with clams and a prawn on it. The tomato sauce for the pasta i can say is simply too watery like it is not enough of pasta sauce and they had to add some water on it. Oh ya, the set comes with a soup and a salad which is not much a nice one comparing to the one in Sushi Zanmai.

As for Jerry, he made the order of the Ika Sumi Set. Ika to Ika Sumi no Pasta - "Surume" Squid & Squid-ink Pasta is what Jerry ordered which is ended with disappointment It is said in the menu 'squid-ink pasta' it was those black pasta that was made with squid ink. Not normal pasta that added squid ink as a sauce. Jerry was kinda disappointed and the taste is not above par.
