Food Review - June Edition - Klang Valley

d
Italiannies was first opened in One Utama and as its name suggests, its a restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine. No doubt they've been cashing in over the years and have also reinvested in many new branches at the Curve, Sunway, the Gardens ... etc

I've been to most of their outlets as I too am a big fan of pizza & pasta and they all serve pretty decent food EXCEPT the branch at the Gardens, Mid Valley. If you've never been there, i put 100 bucks on the table that you're gonna regret it, especially if you're having their pasta.

I can understand if they've got an Italian cook assigned to their most premium outlet but raw pasta just dont cut it with malaysians. Raw pasta as in pasta that's not cooked properly, when its hard to chew on the floury core of the noodles.

And worse if its not even an Italian cook - which just means they got inexperienced cooks.

And here's how empty it is on a Saturday evening.

On a brigther note, PRIME at Le Meridien Hotel, KL Sentral serves the best steak i've ever tasted in town. Nice ambient, good service (although the waitress couldn't get the meaning of 3 quarters done - she only understood medium well), comfy dining chairs, sparkling water, cosy ... just the place you wanna be after an overwhelming week of work.

Now that we've covered where not to go for lunch (or dinner) and where to go for dinner, im gonna cover some magnificent places to head to for supper. I dont know if its just me but i love my supper and I only get a chance to have it on weekends because on weekdays, every dinner is equivalent to supper.

If there's brunch for breakfast + lunch, what do you call dinner + supper? Dupper? haha.

Anyway, there are not many places in KL that serves noodles which are not soaked in soy sauce. KLan's are just not used to eating noodles when they're not soaking with soy sauce but i prefer it without the soy sauce... like it plain and white.

Like this... it's called the Mee Raja (King's noodles) and you can get it at Murni in SS2. Noodles with shrimp, artificial crab meat, chicken and a mixture of vege. Mouth watering!

Appreciating the company, I brought Jo to the movies at the Gardens and we watched 17 Again. If you've never been to the Signature at GSC, i put another 100 bucks on the table that when you come here, you'd never return to the cinemas you used to go to.

17 Again was boring.... if you're not headed to the Cinema for Transformers, dont even think about going... there's just nothing to watch.
