Whenever you’re looking for a fix of pasta, look no further than Twyst! They’re serving up premium quality, delicious, freshly made pastas and sides PLUS they’re located at 13 outlets islandwide!
At Twyst, we’re talking about not only pasta dishes on the menu but you can customise your own pasta too! They’ve got 6 special sauces to pair with your pasta and a plethora of ingredients. The result is over 200 variations of your perfect pasta. Obviously when they say “Twist it your way”, they’re not kidding!
Firstly, before I get to my trio of pasta dishes, I simply had to indulge in some sides to go along. I mean.. when you see soup, chicken wings and paninis on the menu how can you resist right? And by ‘you’ I mean ‘me 😝.
Additionally, they’ve got FIVE different Freshly Pressed Paninis on the menu plus SEVEN different Sides and Light Meals. Although I knew there was a hearty meal ahead, I simply could not resist!
I’m definitely a sandwich guy so a nice toasty Panini is certainly right up my alley! This might be perfect if you’re looking for a quick, light snack or maybe something for the kids to enjoy too.
I had the Chicken Ham with Scrambled Egg & Cheese (SEDAP GILER!) but you might also enjoy other options like the Scrambled Egg with Cheese, Spinach with Mushroom & Egg, Beef Pepperoni with Chicken Ham & Marinara or the Chicken Ham with Cheese.
I actually enjoyed this as a starter for my meal! It’s got great flavours that’ll unlock your appetite and I even found it perfect for enjoying with their Soup of the Day on the side.
Speaking of unlocking appetites, y’all know I’m a sucker for chicken wings 😝. Unquestionably the Crispy Mid Wings at Twyst are SO SATISFYING! Just a few bites and I’m in heaven. I didn’t even need any sauces in the side with these wings.
Meanwhile, they have even more Sides on the menu including Fries (Truffle & Nacho Cheese versions also available!) and Chicken Karaage too. You can even go for some Light Meal options. Perfect for those quick bites, for sharing or for the kids 💪🏽. And don’t forget to wash it all down with some refreshing beverages!
On to the main reason I was at Twyst – to try their delectable selection of pasta dishes! 🤤
There are a couple of ways you can enjoy your pasta at Twyst – they’ve got a great selection of Chef’s Specials or you could even ‘Build Your Own Pasta’! You can choose from 6 tasty Chef’s Special which also serve as the base you can customise your own pasta creation.
I started with a pasta dish that definitely represents some local zest – the Laksa Olio! Spaghetti is tossed with some Laksa base along with prawns, cherry tomatoes and Edamame. If you’re a Laksa lover, you’re definitely going to love this one. Meanwhile, the flavour packs a punch but does not overpower your tastebuds. A worthy local twist to the classic Aglio Olio for sure.
If you’re looking for a classic tomato sauce-based pasta dish then I’d highly recommend trying the Pomodoro. A generous and hearty serving of Spaghetti is bathed in a delicious tomato sauce is surely a good start for this classic Italian favourite.
You’ll also love the bountiful seafood like prawns, mussels, clams and squid that add to the rich flavour of the dish. Hints of garlic and herbs will perk up your tastebuds and have you slurping up every last bit of pasta for sure! Furthermore – you can opt for ‘Original’ or ‘Add Chilli’ for your pasta so if you love it spicy, Twyst has got you covered! 🔥
Finally completing the trio of pasta dishes I enjoyed that day was the OG Aglio Olio. This is of course a very popular pasta dish (could it be the MOST popular? 🤔) so I wanted to give a try especially since I enjoyed the Laksa Olio so much.
Let me say that I was definitely impressed with this Aglio Olio! It captured 2 of the most important flavours for me when it comes to this simple yet classic dish – the garlic and olive oil – which you can savour with every bite. And while some enjoy a simple serving, they’ve gone a level up at Twyst to ensure this is a hearty serving.
I love the addition of chicken, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach for good measure. It makes a great dish even better and will have you adding Twyst to your list of go-to places for a satisfying meal no matter the occasion.
These are just some of the tantalising options you’ll find on the menu at Twyst. For my next visit, I’ve already targeted the other 3 Chef’s specials – Alfredo, Gochujang and Miso Butter. Undoubtedly, creamy pastas are usually my favourite but I’ve gotta be honest… That the Miso Butter and Gochujang dishes sound REALLY appetising!
Furthermore, you also have the option to Build Your Own pasta dish starting from as low as $8.50! Choose Spaghetti or Penne and your base. From there you can add protein like Poached Chicken, Beef Pepperoni, Prawns, Mussels, Clams and also Smoked Duck too. Don’t forget to indulge in some toppings including Sous Vide Egg, Baby Spinach, Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes, Edamame, Truffle Oil and Kale. We are undeniably spoiled for choice!
Another reminder – they’ve got 13 locations islandwide! Whether you’re looking for a comforting serving tor a quick takeaway. Looking for a quiet ‘Me time’ meal or a catch-up sets with friends and loved ones. Whatever you tastes may be, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Twyst.
