Best Pastas in Ipoh

If you love all things fusion in your pasta meal, then TWT Café is a place to be. For instance, there’s the unique Italian-meet-Thai combo of Seafood Tom Yam Soup Pasta. Here, the savoury-spicy blend of tom yam gravy complements well with the flavourful spaghetti noodles. For something more traditional, the oh-so-creamy carbonara really hits the spot. Not to forget is the Spicy Trio Mushroom Aglio Olio, a peppery pasta delight topped with three types of juicy mushrooms.

As the name of the place suggests, the café’s main specialty is none other than spaghetti. Most spaghetti dishes offered on the menu are simple and straightforward, but robust enough to tickle your taste buds. For instance, the Turkey Ham Spaghetti is blessed with generous portions of succulent turkey ham. The spaghetti itself is nicely al dente. If you’re looking for something fancier, there’s the Pizza Spaghetti – a cheesy-rich pasta dish. Definitely not for the faint-hearted!

Tammy’s Kitchen is one of those hidden gems in Ipoh that serve food using natural ingredients. Although they are popularly known for their quiche selection, their pasta varieties are no slouch either. If you are looking for something simple, you can’t go wrong with their classic beef/chicken Bolognese. Let’s not forget the baked spaghetti with salmon, which is blessed with lip-smacking cheesy goodness and savoury salmon chunks!

This eatery is well known among many local couples due to its romantic ambience. Here you (and your loved one) will find the Smoked Duck Spaghetti exquisite. The spaghetti noodle tastes just right, while the combination of smoked duck slices and juicy tomatoes complement each other pretty well!

It’s all about pasta and risotto at PT Grande, but let’s talk about pasta instead. One of the must-try dishes here is the signature squid ink pasta. The black pasta is nicely al dente and with a distinct savoury taste of squid ink that matches well with the seafood sweetness of giant red prawns. The prawns are lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, while the flesh is thankfully devoid of rubbery taste. Other pastas such as Seafood Pasta and Pinky Fusion (spaghetti carbonara topped with a mix of red and white sauce) are also highly recommended!

At Ami Domicile, simplicity trumps fanciness.  However, it's simplicity does come with great taste! Take white wine cream linguine for example - it is both creamy and savoury, while the crispy bacon strips add robust texture to the overall dish. Then there’s seafood aglio olio - a stir-fried pasta topped with succulent seafood galore and spicy finish of black pepper and chilli flakes. Simply yummy!

Cakes and pastries may have been Patisserie Boutique’s main forte, but their pasta selection is equally worthwhile. Topping the list is the signature Smoked Duck Aglio Olio, a fantastic pasta mania cooked with olive oil, herbs and black pepper. But the real deal here is the delectable smoked duck slices which make this pasta meal such a gastronomic delight. Also, if you love fishes, the briny Smoked Salmon Carbonara is the one to go for. 

Italia Mia certainly means business when it comes to pizza and pasta. One of their best dishes here is the signature seafood pasta. The spaghetti is firm and al dente, while the mixed seafood that comes with a trio of mussels, prawns and squid is fresh and juicy. In case you’re allergic to seafood, there’s the worthy chicken-based pasta such as Chicken Broccoli Alfredo and Chicken Bolognese.
