Pasta House: Si Lom Soi 19

I’m back again, this time I will do something different than talk about traveling places. Let dine in and talk about street food in Thailand. Street food in our term is the place to eat that not in the famous review website. The place is famous by their taste that will promote itself and become popular among Thai people.

The place that I proudly introduce to you is called “Pasta House” This is the pizza and pasta place that fusion Thai style in to it. The food here from the first glance, you may see a typical pizza and pasta place but don’t judge the book by the cover, just yet. The food has a kick of that flavor in to it. If you are looking for original Italian style or American pizza you at the wrong place. Beside, you already tried these pastas and pizzas from your country, it probably better (trust me it better haha) Why not try something different, this is why Magnifier Thailand would like to introduce this restaurant to you and hope you will have a chance to try it.
I’m in the hurry because I cannot wait for you guys to hear about this place and I will talk about how to find this place later.


First, everyone love salad and it a beginning course to most of us. The salad that my friends and I always get is a Caesar Salad. The fresh cos lettuce with their intense flavor of Caesar dressing mix with Parmesan Cheese and cannot miss the magical bacon bits and crunchy croutons. My mouth is watering talk about this, haha. It not healthy but hey, I suggest this because it good.


 Next dish is the pasta, this place offer you, very delicious pasta with unbelievable affordable price. It cost you only $2-3 per dish. Yea that better than a Big Mac I’m sure (no offence). Don’t intimidate by the cheap price because that quality bundle with the kick ass taste, I’m telling ya. The pasta noodle is boiled to perfect not too hard or too mushy, it just about right, my Italian friend would call it “Al Dente”. Personally, some fancy Italian restaurant in Thailand cannot even compete with them. Pasta House offers many selection of pasta such as Fusilli, Penne, or Macaroni.


 My recommend dish is “Spaghetti olio aglio” Oh boy; this menu is off the chart! You guy will really have to visit this place and try it. This pasta dish is look so simple, yet punch it with the complex delicious goodness. A spaghetti with parsley and olive oil with the spicy kick of dried chili, one thing I can say to you right now, Ummmmm. You can order it plain just the pasta with olive oil and dried chili or you can ask them to put a bacon in the dish to enhance the taste as well. (After all everyone love bacon, right?)
Another pasta dish that you probably find it only in Thailand is the “Spaghetti Pad Cha” this is the local Thai food fusion with Italian dish. The pasta noodle stir fried with fresh seafood mix it with exotic spices and herbs like finger root, fresh peppercorn, basil, and fresh chili. Warning, this dish is quite spicy so if you cannot tolerance spicy as good like me, make sure you ask them to tone down the spicy level. They also offer the general dish like carbonara spaghetti in case some of you just want something simple.


I should be a shame to talk about Pasta but forget to mention pizza. I tell ya, this Pasta joint make a mean pizza as much as their pasta dish. Their pizza size is about 10 inches the dough is very crispy on the crust but it perfetto at the middle dish. Their signature pizza is “Pizza Bacon with Basil Leaf” This is not your typical Margherita pizza, it has some spice and bacon adds in to create good combination between Asia sense and Italian heritage. There are many more menu items you can choose but my team and I pick this Pizza to be the most recommend pizza for you to try because it taste good and the unique character that you may not find it somewhere else. Oh, I forget to mention, they ground their black pepper fresh daily. So you can guarantee fresh ingredients from the main dish to your condiments.


With all those goodness, the food quality is so converse with it price. $10 per person, will get you stuff, I mean cannot eat any more food stuff. Finding this place is a bit tricky but not as much as Leaky Cauldron (There! something for Harry Potter’s fans) The Pasta House is in the Soi Si Lom 19 (Near the famous Patpong district) You can take BTS and get off to Chong Nonsi Station, about 10 minutes’ walk will get you to Si Lom 19. Then another 50 meters, the restaurant will be on your right. Now this is the tricky part I mentioned. The restaurant is on the second floor of florist shop but they will have the chalkboard notice you that Pasta House is upstairs. So, don’t be surprise when you step in and see all the flowers but no tables inside, lol. Pasta House is open daily and close on Sunday from 11am-9pm. Their telephone number is 02 635 2121 you can call them and make sure they are open or in case you need a direction when you get lost. As always, I’m encourage you to share your picture and experience if you have a chance to try this place out.
