Basil Pasta House

The chocolate milkshake was really good and definitely a highlight for us. The pasta, however, was just average and didn’t quite suit our taste, though the vongole was not bad. The place was quite popular with many diners, so it might be worth a visit to see if it suits your palate. We probably wouldn’t make a special trip back, but it’s still worth a try based on the overall good reviews.

10多年的老店，喜欢吃，意面煮的刚刚好，料很足。会善意提醒不要点多，够吃就好。 喜欢他家的熏鸭猪肉培根沙拉，mini pizza口感不错，有点馅饼的样子，有层次，馅料充足。

We moved out of Happy Garden for quite some years but in our time living there, we often go to Basil Pasta House. BPH was so good that, it was our default place for good pasta and Italian cuisine in general. I remember having my first gnocchi here and they were fluffy indeed. Today my mother and I were visiting family nearby and thought we’d eat BPH again. To our surprise, the once packed cafe was empty. We thought maybe we’re here too early and ordered our meal. Many things were different now but still familiar. It wasn’t until the food arrived that I realised why it was empty. Your pastas look amazing and that’s about the only compliment I can give now. We’re so disappointed because the flavour has changed so much, you can tell many corners were cut. It wasn’t freshly cooked, I know it’s reheated and that’s fine but not at these prices. I know it’s reheated because there were no steam until you dig into the pasta and lift it up, a pocket of steam just rushes out. I ordered the spaghetti meatball and the meat portion is only the casing as the inside were filled with onions. There’s no more house water and no straws either. When your pasta cost an average of RM35, house water is usually provided. The servers didn’t care for us either and two Pasta and a bottle of mineral water was RM98. Definitely not worth it. Basil Pasta House now is an empty hollow shell of what it once was. I really miss the taste of your amazing food, the friendliness of your staffs and the passion that ran the business when I was still living around there. I suspect the business is sold to someone who no longer cared for their customer as the previous owner as I also noticed many of the staffs were no longer local anymore. It’s really sad as this used to be my favourite pasta spot. I do hope previous owner can help the current owner to regain Basil Pasta House’s old glory days.

从小吃到大～～从不红吃到爆红，但是 risotto 的饭偏硬了一些，可能当天停电所以比较难把握火候

我が家でパスタが食べたいとなると、この店。コロナ禍前から利用させていただいています。 美味しい上にボリューム満点なので、家族3人でいつもパスタ２つ+αでお腹いっぱいになります。 オススメは ・カルボナーラ ・Aglio olioにシーフードのアドオン ランチは混むので、早めの来店が良いかと。

Sorry basil pasta house, I really wanted to give better ratings.. knowing that you’re prettt famous, but your food really ain’t up to par. Was there a change of chef?? Food: Risotto was really, not good.. it was well presented I mean, but the texture, like normal rice cooked longer but not really near what we call a risotto. And the added peas and carrot in it just makes the whole taste worse. It became a fail fusion. Quite disappointed because it actually looked good, but didn’t taste good 🙁 I’m a risotto lover and this didn’t cut it. Smoke duck spaghetti was just meh. The classic tiramisu, was not classic at all. Instead of being soft and melting in the mouth, it was pretty hard. Service: Was great. Lots of attentive staffs. Kudos. Atmosphere: Tables are squeeze tight to each other. I guess okay for normal days, a no-no for date nights.

Now I remember why I never went back. 1. 1. The tables are...sticky. You draw your own conclusions 2. When you charge a high end price for pasta, you better deliver. The chicken died for nothing. 3. Way to make customers feel welcomed before even ordering. Telling them you are closing up at 10 and start giving out bills & cleaning when some are still eating
