Launching this Friday, 23 December, in PJ’s new Megah Rise Mall, Staple Dough is not our conventional Italian kitchen.
Its hand-sculpted pastas come with contemporary twists inspired by international flavours - crab agnolotti is served with coconut foam and vadouvan curry spice, tagliatelle is brightened by watercress pesto.
Even the starters spring surprises - burrata caprese is sprinkled with savoury Spanish jamon and fruity Asian flourishes of lychee; cured salmon carpaccio is deepened with a dressing of truffle ponzu, ikura, pickled shallots, crispy capers and kombu; arancini is aromatic with wild mushrooms, gorgeous with grana padano.
Italian wines by the glass round out an enjoyable experience in a friendly space. Staple Dough has delicious potential - look for the charming storefront, with the restaurant’s name illustrated in squiggles that represent the craft of making pastas and the pleasure of sipping wine.
