[Extra Virgin] Affordable Italian pastas in Hong Kong

It is really difficult to find affordable and delicious pastas in Hong Kong.
Extra Virgin has finally answered my prayers after Pasta Mio closed in Central.
The menu is diverse so it caters for Hong Kongers.
I felt that the drinks selection could have been better because they only served Hong Kong style tea in those thick rimmed cups and lacked Western teas.
The Italian choices were clearly the picks for me.
It had almost everything I wanted except Lasagne so I made quite a few visits to try them.

Here was what I had: Spaghetti aglio de olio, spaghetti pomodoro e basilico, fettucine bolognese and the Feta cheese pizza.
Everything was cooked to order.

+++++
spaghetti pomodoro e basilico:

Perfect pasta with fragrant basil and rich tomato sauce.
+++++
fettucine bolognese:
This was al dente fettucine in a lovely meat sauce loaded with lots of minced meat.
+++++
Feta cheese pizza:
The pizza was impressive because the cheese was just melted to how I like it while the base was thin and crispy.
It would be great if they used tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes because they were clumsy and kept falling off the pizza.
+++++
Spaghetti aglio de olio:
Unfortunately, this was boring and tasteless, perhaps the Vongole might be a better choice.
+++++
Will definitely come again for the ravioli and hope that they will add lasagne to the menu.

Chinese thai bolognaise @ Chili club

Today felt like having thai food again, as usual their air conditioning was overly cold.

I ordered the minced beef fried ho fun, assuming it was ho fun with bits of minced beef, but when it arrived it looked like chinese bolognaise on top of ho fun.

The bolognaise as i call it, was basically stirred egg bits with minced beef, green peppers and tomato mixed together in clear sauce, and the ho fun, was just stir fried ho fun beneath it.

Their stir fried noodles is rather salty.

Presentation wise, my friends said it looked like puke!!
Service was very slow today, usually the food arrives a a few minutes after placing the order, also this time the dishes came one at a time!

Instant noodles with bolognaise sauce @ Deluxe Sandwiches Express

Literally it is just bolognaise with instant noodles!!

I never had bolognaise with any other noodle than pasta, but this place did instant noodles, so gave it a try.

The taste in general is ok, but because it is instants noodles, it is not so al-dente, and it gets clumped together in the box.
