Once in a while, I got to have my pasta fix. I’m not a big rice fan but pasta I can never get enough of it. Luckily a good pasta is not hard to find… if you know where to look.

California Express BBQ & Grill is a modest pasta bar tucked away behind the busy ready food section of Jusco at 1 Utama.

The ready food section is right across from the supermarket where they sell all kinds of ready-cooked meals you can grab and take home. If you walk right into the back, you’ll see this pasta bar with a counter and chairs and an open kitchen. It’s not hard to spot.

They serve Western food like fish and chips, footlong sausages, roast chicken and so on. But this, their Fettucine Alfredo is my all-time favorite. I love that its sauce is very light and the ham, mushrooms and chives makes a great combination.

I also like their Fettucine Carbonara. You can tell I’m a fettucine person (luckily it’s not spelt fattucine, that would be disastrous ). This is much creamier so I can’t afford to eat it too often.

This is a great little pasta place if you don’t want to overeat. Their portions are small so you won’t feel guilty when you’re done. Also very light on your wallet considering that this is real pasta we’re talking about.
