Spaghetti carbonara

This joint prides itself on the quality of its pizzas, which come in a range of options that — outside of chicken and vegetarian variants — include pork and b''f. We have earlier gorged on piggy bank, which has pulled pork and a slathering of bacon jam, and ocean glory, where the main stars are shrimp and calamari. The boss, too, doesn't disappoint. It's not as crispy as we had hoped a thin-crust pizza would be. But what it lacks in texture, it more than makes up for in taste. The tomato basil sauce and pesto elevate the item to something more than just a classic pepperoni version.

Similarly, the spaghetti carbonara ('305) is a creamy delight. Okay, so it's not made the way this pasta is originally made in Italy, where the sauce consists only of egg yolk. But if when in Rome you do as the Romans do, then in India you ensure that a generous helping of cream makes the spaghetti more palatable to tastebuds here. And that's exactly what the chef here has done. Plus, though the dish is supposed to be made with pancetta, this version has chunky bits of bacon rashes that make for an apt substitute. So, the point is that Baking Bad does a fine job of catering to late-night hunger pangs in an area filled with night owls.

The only issue we have, actually, is that we first place our order through a food aggregator. But when that doesn't seem to have gone through, we call the eatery directly and ask for the boss and spaghetti carbonara. But when the delivery arrives, there are two pizzas — apparently, the order via the aggregator had gone through after all. So we end up with an extra pizza in our hands. But it's not that we are complaining. For, when a dish is this tasty, we don't mind the fact that we have two of the same.
