Does he mean he varies his pasta alot? Who knows.
Located in a quiet corner of the row of shoplots that surround Atria shopping centre lies an unknown Western food restaurant called Vary Pasta (no, it’s not a spelling mistake) and it claims to have the cheapest Western food in town. I’m not going to bet a million dollars on it, but I think he may have a good claim to that statement.
One page caught my attention really fast.
The owner’s story is a little different to that of a resteraunter as he used to run the Western food stall in a coffee shop near KDU before setting up his own place. Usually Western food stalls in coffee shops are quite basic, you wouldn’t hear them ask, ‘would you like a vinigerette sauce with your salad sir?’ and the only mushroom soup they serve either came out of a can or was made from some sort of powder.
FRESH mushroom soup
So it’s quite a suprise that when this guy opened up his own restaurant selling similar dishes to his original stall, he has things like fresh mushroom soup, vinegerette dressing and fresh herbs in his dishes. The mushroom soup was a refreshing change as it had a variety of fresh mushrooms blended to make the dish, no powdery after taste like some out-of-the-can soups you usually find in some Western places.
Garlic Herb Sphagetti
Crispy fried potato crepe with fresh mushrooms and a garlic filling
Another dish that we ordered was the garlic herb sphagetti. Although some may confuse it for aglio olio, it isn’t. It comes with certain main meals, so make sure you know what comes with your main before ordering this as a starter. It is made with garlic, olive oil, fresh herbs (corriander I think), mushrooms and cold salsa on the side.
Sphagetti Carbonara with bacon bits
Another pasta you should try is the sphagetti carbonara, which was made with a rich creamy carbonara sauce and bacon bits inside.
As for the mains, they’re all mostly meat dishes, with chicken paella being one of the few exceptions.
Beef steak
Mixed grill - Pork and chicken chop, lamb chop, pork sausages
Chicken Cordon Bleau - Was a little tough for my tastes. But the brown sauce helped soften it a bit.
Pork chop - Nice, tender and cheap (RM12)
Chicken with rum sauce
These photos were actually compiled over 2 trips to the restaurant, but for each it should only cost you just under rm20 per person including some small starters, but it depends on what you order for your main. Average cost of mains is between RM10 – RM 30++ but that’s for the pork knuckle, which I haven’t tried yet.

It was ‘vary’ good… I also liked the garlic herb sphagetti. It was basically aglio olio but with fresh herbs cut into it.
Pretty basic, but still pretty good… comfort food.

Went there today, seeing the good recommendation given. Wanted to try their fish and chips and mushroom soup. Service was bad, waiters were slow. Fish and chips were too sweet for my liking.
Saw a couple who could not wait and just left the shop without their dinner. When I commented to the lady boss, she merely said she was understaffed. Did not even seem apologetic. Even took ages with the bill. Food wasn’t exceptionally good as well. Will not go back again.-

Yes we’ve also found that their service tends to go downhill when they get too packed..we’ve experienced that before as well..so we try to avoid the place during peak hour..otherwise the service is not too bad
