1. Italian Grana Padano cheese and bacon cream pasta (B380) at Hokkaido Restaurant Genshiyaki
If it’s not already
showing in your Facebook feed, be prepared. Genshiyaki’s (Sukhumvit Soi 26) ooey, gooey cheese and bacon pasta is tossed together in a full round of Parmigiano-Reggiano that’s partially hollowed out into a bowl. The results are spectacular—on film at least.

2. The pasta cacio e pepe (B360-460) at Sorrento
