Recommendation for Restaurant 2 by Happy Buddies
Lazy Pasta

I ordered the top three pasta dishes according to the menu:

1. Mentaiko Shrimp and Scallop Pasta
2. Japanese Sea Urchin and Scallop Risotto
3. Pesto Smoked Duck Breast Noodle

Additionally, I ordered
Salt-Pickled Grilled Meat Miso Noodles
Spicy Creamy Clam Pasta

All the dishes were delicious, no disappointments at all.
If I had to rank them,
the Salt-Pickled Grilled Meat Miso Pasta could take the first place.
It's a shame I didn't use my dedicated camera to take a picture of this dish.
It looked good and was perfectly seasoned,
even those of us who weren't very hungry couldn't stop praising it.
Really impressive!

Second place goes to the Spicy Creamy Clam Pasta.
The first bite had a kick of spiciness, but it was very tasty!
It just had a lot of colorful peppers,
so picky eaters might want to avoid it! 😂

Conclusion: This place is delicious. 😋
When I want to eat pasta, I can consider it my first choice. 👍

Location: Wenshan District, Taipei

An affordable Italian pasta restaurant near National Chengchi University.
Since we came during off-peak hours, there was no wait and we got a table right away.
My friends from Chengchi who study here said that during meal times, there are tons of people and you might need to wait in line. 🤔

🌟 Spicy Creamy Clam Pasta
The spiciness definitely hits the two chili level indicated on the menu.
Fortunately, the creaminess balances out some of the heat.
My companions who tried it found it extremely spicy. 🤣
There were plenty of clams, making it quite worth the price.
I really enjoy broad noodles, and you can choose between broad or straight noodles.
The freedom to choose is great!
The heat makes you want to keep eating one bite after another—very delicious. 😋

🌟 Salt Grilled Pork Miso Wide Noodles
This was everyone’s favorite dish of the day.
As soon as it arrived at the table, the strong miso aroma filled the air.
Every bite of pasta was coated with rich sauce.
The flavor was very intense, yet not overwhelming.
If I come again, I would definitely order this dish!

🌟 Today's Soup + Bread + Dessert Tiramisu
The soup was a mushroom cream soup; the mushrooms weren’t completely blended, leaving some texture, which was quite tasty.
The bread was slightly toasted and didn’t have too much seasoning, but it was a good match with the creamy soup.
The hardness was just right, not too tough.
The tiramisu was more like a cake, with a drier texture in some layers.
Compared to other desserts, it felt more like an affordable option.

Overall, everyone found their meals quite satisfying.
Later, I discovered that it’s a chain restaurant.
It's a decent, standard affordable Italian pasta place.
If you’re passing by or in the area, it’s still worth choosing!

This week, I've eaten at the pasta restaurant twice 🤤~
Lazy Pasta offers great value for me.
The portions are large, and almost every dish has amazed me～

Here’s my ranking, recommended for everyone’s reference～❤️❤️
My first place 🥇 is definitely
👑 Salted Miso Pork Belly Noodles 👑
It’s not the top dish on the menu, but the flavor of the miso combined with the noodles really brings out the umami, without being too salty. The choice of noodles is also a big plus; the texture leans towards soft, which I think is more appealing to Asian palates～

Second place 🥈 is Mentaiko Shrimp Scallops 🦐🦐
This is my second time having it, still delicious. The mentaiko flavor is rich, and even when it cools down, it’s still very tasty. They give a generous amount of mentaiko, and both the scallops and shrimp are quite fresh～

Third place 🥉 is Japanese Sea Urchin Scallops ✅
Just hearing "sea urchin" made me decide to order it right away.
I personally experienced the fresh sweetness of the sea urchin and its oceanic taste 😆 but for those who don’t like rich flavors, I suggest sharing this dish, as you will really need water afterward~
However, my friends found it just average, which is fine because taste varies from person to person～

Fourth place ⭐️ Spicy Cream Clam Pasta
I actually think this could be in the top three, but for someone like me who enjoys spicy food, it’s a bit too spicy. However, the aroma of the spiciness really makes me want to try it again. Plus, it’s wide flat noodles, which adds to the texture～

Finally ➡️ Pesto Smoked Duck Breast Noodles
This dish is also tasty, but everyone's palates are really different. The pesto flavor is quite standard, my apologies to the pesto～

Dessert 🍮 Tiramisu
Considering the price, I think it’s quite reasonable～
