IWannaGetStuffed

IWannaGetStuffed is a small restaurant that sells western food such as pizza and pasta. It is located at some HDB block at Tampines.

Anyway, Eugenia, ZQ and I went to IWannaGetStuffed after school for dinner. When we got there it was quite empty- 2 table of 2. To add on there was only 1 staff(kitchen) during that time, working both front and back of the house. After a while we managed to order and we waited for our food to arrive.


The first thing that arrived was the Beer Battered Prawns ($6) which Eugenia ordered. The prawn was not overcooked. Salad dressing was nice. However, my friend complaint that the prawn wasn't deveined. In my opinion it's quite worth the money.


The Portobello Mushroom Surprise ($6)- Succulent Portobello Mushrooms topped with cheese and grilled to perfection. Take a bite and discover the tasty ham treat inside. Well the descriptions said mushrooms and we were a little disappointed when the dish arrived with only one mushroom. Nevertheless, the mushroom was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious with the ham and cheese.


Now on to my main, I ordered Creamy Pasta Al Funghi ($9.80)- or simply put, fresh mushrooms sauteed with garlic, onion and finished with fresh cream. There are 3 choices of pasta- spaghetti, linguine or penne. Obviously I chose spaghetti as you can see from the picture. The sauce was light and creamy, pasta al dente but the mushroom did not had any seasoning. Even though sauce was light, it was too much for me so I didn't finish the pasta.

Zq ordered Pasta Cabonara ($10.80)- a delicious favorite of Smokey bacon and cream. She chose linguine for her pasta. The cabonara sauce tasted like cream with bacon(duh!), creamy and bacon-y. Bacon was not crispy like I expected it would be and pasta was slightly harder than my spaghetti. My friend commented that pizza hut's caboanara taste better.

Eugenia ordered Risotto Al Funghi ($10.80)- the word 'Risotto' means, cooked rice. Al Funghi, Meaning with mushrooms. This dish is a rich combination of Italian Rice cooked with mixed mushrooms, cream and perfectly seasoned. Basically it's my pasta dish replaced with rice. Rice texture was on the hard side. Could be more tender and soft. Seasoning wise, it could use more.

Halfway through while the only staff was serving pasta another staff arrived which made the kitchen staff relieved.

At the end when we called for bill and the lady calculated it wrongly. We had to point it out to her for which she apologized and said that she mistakenly wrote the wrong amount.

For me what I enjoyed the most at IWannaGetStuffed was the mushroom dish and that there's no GST or Service Charge.
