Situated opposite the Southorn Playground in Wan Chai, Swatow Street has several small shops specialising in coffee, ramen, sandwiches and wine. One of the newest is Cheeky Pasta which sells pasta and salad.
Eight pasta dishes are offered, with the choice of spaghetti, penne or linguine.

Pasta with cream pea wasabi sauce and cherry tomatoes (HK$58) was enjoyable. One of the speciality pastas – angel hair dragon beard (HK$58) – needs to be ordered in advance. For an extra HK$10, you can add chicken fillet or pork chop to any of the pasta dishes.
