Recipe: Angel hair pasta with soft boiled egg, tobiko and truffle oil

We had some leftover tobiko after making our doggy yee sang, so I put it to good use and made one of my favorite fusion pasta dishes.

This pasta recipe is even easier than the last one I posted for spaghetti with soft boiled egg and ebikko; this time I am using angel hair pasta which only requires about 5 minutes cooking time. Once cooked, simply toss it in some truffle oil then top with the perfectly cooked runny soft boiled kampung egg and as much tobiko as you like. The egg acts as a sauce for your pasta. Mix well and allow the egg to coat the strands of pasta. Super creamy and delicious! Oh and the scent of truffles... :)

I've shared the step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the perfect soft boiled egg (or in Malaysia we call it half boiled egg or kopitiam eggs) on my blog before - you can refer to it to make the eggs for this recipe. If you have the contraption for making soft boiled eggs, you can use that too.

Angel hair pasta with soft boiled kampung egg, tobiko and truffle oil
Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 1 minute
Cooking time: 12 minutes
Serves 2

Ingredients
125g angel hair pasta
5-6 tsp tobiko
2 kampung (free-range) eggs
Truffle oil
Spring onion or chives, to garnish



1. Start by cooking the soft boiled egg since this takes the longest time. Firstly, put 450ml of water into a 18cm saucepan and bring to the boil. When water is boiling, remove from heat and place egg into the water. Please use eggs direct from the fridge (timing will differ for room temperature eggs). Using a cloth/dishtowel, tilt the pan slightly so that the egg is submerged 75% in the water (away from the hob). Leave eggs to sit in water for 12 minutes, then remove and serve. Perfect eggs everytime! (Note: This is for 2 eggs)

2. In a separate pot, bring salted water to the boil over medium high heat. Cook angel hair pasta for 5 minutes, or according to pack instructions to al dente. Remove from heat and divide into two plates. Drizzle with truffle oil and toss.

3. Top pasta with soft boiled egg and 2-3 teaspoonfuls of tobiko each. Drizzle with more truffle oil if you like. Garnish with some finely chopped chives or spring onions. Mix and enjoy!

Enjoy an unforgettable afternoon at THIRTY8 at Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur with their "High on Sugar" afternoon tea offer. For pastry lovers, this is what heaven would look like... Decadent, elegant desserts, beautifully laid out at the dessert table, all for your taking.

THIRTY8 is located on the second highest floor of Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, boasting 360 degrees panoramic views of the KL city skyline, including a dramatic full frontal view of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. The spectacular views and gastronomic feast combine to provide an incredible afternoon indulgence.

From where I sit...

Pastry Chef Ashutosh Kumar impresses with his modern take on classic desserts; he has prepared an excellent array of over thirty types of sweet treats such as cakes, pastries, scones, assorted macarons and a luscious selection of chocolate desserts. I like how fresh fruits are used to give a natural sweetness to each dessert.

The choux buns were delicious, especially the chocolate salted caramel flavour!;)

Chocolate mousse

Desserts galore... flawless execution :)

Guests can also enjoy a wide variety of savouries (prepared to order) from a select menu. Designed to be interspersed with the sweets, these can be ordered on a free-flow basis to prolong your afternoon session and set you up for even more desserts. Our favorites here were the Shepherd's pie, seafood dumplings and potato puffs.

Assorted dim sum

Black Angus beef meatballs

The High On Sugar experience also comes with your choice of freshly brewed coffee, flavoured coffee and Ronnefeldt tea.

There will also be interactive live stations featuring Chinese noodles, beef and vegetable sliders as well as homemade ice cream and sorbets. Four types of noodles were on offer during our visit: spicy dry noodle, minced chicken dry noodle, seaweed fish ball noodle and wantan noodle soup. We tried the spicy dry noodle - it tasted similar to a chilli pan mee. Love the heat from the spicy sauce, yummy!

Beef slider was delicious too!

It pays to be an early bird... seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis... so come early if you want a table with the Twin Towers view.

Twinning at the highest level.. I just can't get enough of this gorgeous view!
