Lobster Spaghetti at D.O.P

I generally like lobster pasta. Again, not all restaurants do it well, but when I find a few that do, I try to order it whenever I can. D.O.P at Robertson Quay doesn't have lobster pasta on the menu often. When they do, they tell me so that I can make time to pop by. Their portions are meant for two persons. Three pax if you're small eaters.   

[Lobsters, crabs and octopuses are sentient beings. *gulp UK's Animal Welfare Bill provides a legislation for them to reduce their pain and suffering. I know. I have tried to reduce my intake of lobsters.]

The husband had a tough call schedule and he didn't think he could make it to dinner at 7pm. I went ahead with Choya. I never minded eating alone. And the husband would need food at some point; I'd get him a pizza or my leftover pasta. Teehehehe. 

Ran into some acquaintances and Choya's fwens at the restaurant. Said hi and all; didn't chat for too long. I was happy to chill out on my own with a bottle of prosecco. I had some non-work stuff to do and a few texts to reply that I didn't get to earlier in the day. It was a hot evening, but I brought fans. So having drinks first was more than comfortable. 

By the third glass, I was peckish. Then I got really hungry and asked for my pasta at 8.25pm. The lobster pasta tasted sooooo good with chilli padi. I like that they bothered to soak chilli padi in olive oil. It's so simple and effective, and it sends a positive message that the kitchen cared about what diners want in this part of town. 

The man managed to turn up at 9pm! Wheeeeee. He slid into his seat right on time as I took my first few spoonfuls of pasta! Ha. Pasta for two properly indeed. He was extremely pleased that he could 'make it' and didn't need to eat leftovers or have it re-heated. There's nothing wrong with that, but to have pasta fresh is the best. Freshly cooked lobster pasta is such a treat.
