If you want a budget-friendly pasta experience with a difference, 49 Seats
will be right up your alley.
The first thing you need to do is to find this place. Although it is located
at Level 1, it is tucked away on the side of Centrepoint. You can access it
via the side entrance or take an escalator down from the main foyer AND
another escalator up to head there.
49 seats
Getting there is just part of the experience. Once you step inside, you will
be greeted by a spacious interior with an industrial vibe.

The place is clad in silverfish tone with a cement floor. The walls of hanging
pots, bottles and egg trays sprayed in silver add to the raw industrial theme.
This place has more than 49 seats and would be great if you were dining in
groups.

The Food
|
49 Seats is a Western fusion restaurant that is popular for its Tom Yum
Seafood Pasta. This signature twist sets it apart from its competition,
King of Tom Yum Pasta ($19.90)
We decided to try the King of Tom Yum Pasta. The giant golden-fried King
Prawns are served in the creamy tom yum sauce that features a creamy texture
with a rich tangy taste. If you are a fan of Tom Yum, you will find this
combination a delight. The trio of King Prawns are already filling on its
own.
|
Dishes are served on metallic plant which adds points for ambiance.
Fish and chips with Alscampi Sauce $19.90
This is the first time I came across Alscampi Sauce. This signature sauce is
creamy with hints of mushroom soup mixed with carbonara cream sauce. There
were even clams in the sauce.
|
It comes with an additional two sides which you can choose and pick. The
crunchy fish is crispy and tender and mixes well with the sauce.
Salted Egg Popcorn Chicken ( $11.90)
|
We ordered this for an appetizer. This dish is more tender than crispy.
Taste-wise, it is a little more salty than salted egg. Compared to the mains,
this was underwhelming. In hindsight, we should have opted for the signature
cheese fries instead.
Verdict
|
Eating out in town on a budget has always been challenging. With a 49-seat
budget-friendly menu, this makes a good spot to hang out. The unique Western
fusion menu will give your tastebuds a refreshing twist. Together with its
industrial setting, it makes a decent place to chill in town.
