R2義麵小棧 三重店

Google has a rating of 4.9 stars for this affordable Italian pasta, but the overall experience was disappointing.

🍝 Creamy Italian Seared Fish Fillet Pasta $130
The cream sauce lacked the richness and smoothness of fresh cream, instead having a strong processed flavor that left my mouth dry after eating. The pasta was overcooked, lacking the al dente texture, resembling cheap instant pasta. Although the portion of the seared fish fillet was not small, it did not complement the cream sauce to create any depth of flavor.

🍝 Pesto Chicken Thigh Pasta $130
As for the chicken thigh, the meat was relatively tender, but it had a strong fishy taste, seeming like it wasn't marinated thoroughly or didn't have proper handling. This completely overshadowed the basil aroma from the pesto, making it hard to enjoy the dish.

🥘 Set A $50
🔘 Grilled Cheese Toast
The grilled cheese toast was very average. The most unbearable part was the cheese inside, which tasted nothing like real cheese, instead having a chemical flavor resembling cheap processed cheese sauce. Very disappointing; it’s cheap, but I'd rather do without it.
🔘 Creamy Chowder Soup
The chowder was the relatively better part of the meal. Although it had few ingredients, it still delivered a bit of creamy and fresh flavor.
🔘 Drinks (unlimited refills)
The milk tea tasted like the breakfast shop's milk tea. Basic drink options are available for refills, such as black tea, green tea, milk tea, milk green tea, etc.

Overall, while it was cheap, the quality was also relatively poor. I would not consider visiting again, as I feel there are more affordable and tasty food options available.
