pasta, anyone?

one of my best friend jut got back from adelaide. i haven't met ther for almost two years, and i supposed it's very nice to have some lunch with her. you know, sit over and share stories. we were craving for pasta, and i remember one of my friend tweeted about a new pasta resto in kemang

aha!

and we went there.
the place is called pasta basta and it's located near hero kemang, it's actually beside the flower kiosk opposite hero.
it's rather small, but got nice ambiance, with lotsa wooden table and chair, and big windows. 
they also put table outside for those who smoke.

the owner greeted us as soon as we arrived. he said, it's only been opened for 6 weeks, and currently there's only 1 menu in pasta basta: spaghetti bolognese 
he then explained that by the end of this month he's going to put thin crispy pizza on the menu, and expand the place by buying the kiosk next to pasta basta. 
we ordered a portion of jumbo bolognese and tried this tinto de verano, instead of sodas or beers. tinto de verano is cocktail, a bit like sangria, but a simpler one. it's a mixed of red wine and sprite served with ice.
the pasta arrived within minutes, and i gotta tell you, it was good! the meat sauce was super delicious! i think we should've ordered 2 jumbo portions instead one, coz' we were still hungry :p

while the tinto de verano completed my perfect lunch. light fresh taste that really fits the summer sun out there.

mr. owner also said that they have a live music every wednesday night, sort of 2 guys playing acoustic guitar. 

very interesting.

guess i'll come over next month to try the pizza :)
