Garlic Prawn Pasta @ Food For Thought

I found this quaint little cafe from an online search of red velvet cakes in Singapore (that's a separate post). One of their branches was near my office -- a little further away from our lunch area but thought it was worth a try.

I was there expressly for their supposedly great red velvet cakes so I didn't really know what their lunch menu was. They had a lot of choices with several semi-vegetarian options like their Grilled Vegetable Medley sandwich, Shiitake Mushrooms pasta, Garlic, Thyme and Roasted Tomato pasta, and more. I, predictably, chose their Garlic Prawn pasta.

The dish was served in a wooden plate (side comment: slightly unstable serving dish that it wobbled especially when I was trying to slice or spear something) with a side salad of greens and cubed tomatoes. The side salad could have been better with more vinaigrette dressing but fresh enough ingredients to save itself. The pasta was slightly overdone for me but the taste was wonderful. Just enough garlic and spices to not be overwhelming and with a good amount of prawns served along the pasta. Though for a price of S$16.90, the serving size could have been more.

Take note, while the cafe is open until 10pm, their kitchen closes at 2:30pm for lunch and 9pm for dinner (FYI, their other branch's kitchen is open all day, see hours below). The rest of the time, you can only have drinks and desserts.

Overall, I would definitely drop by Food For Thought again. I will definitely visit their Queen Street branch because it has a wider menu selection. They have risotto! 'Nuff said.
