Kenapa....? by Adam Ismadi

The drinks esp the Mango Blended is superb. The Ribena Lychee has a funky purple colour to it. It looks artificial and too strongly coloured but tasted great! But my fav must be the Mango Blended. Not only it a drink, it is also a desert with the large pieces of watermelon and lychee for one to munch away after the dinner. Oh yeah, provided u have extra space in your tummy after the meal. This is quite a challenge.



Moving on,... the food. First came the Meatball Carbonara Fettuccine. Normally carbonara sauce is a cream sauce, it should contain a small amount of cheese. But this version has a full blown thick creamy artery-clogging 90% cheese sauce. The dish is not timid nor scared with flavours. This is not the faint hearted. You need to be a cheese worshiper and a heavy duty glut with arteries made of stainless-steel to be able to finish the whole plate alone! The meatballs are really meaty and with a size of teenage boy's fists it is impossible to swallow it whole. It is cheesy and meaty but indeed very nyummy.

This is not for the cultured fine diners with subtle palate, that appreciates the presentation more than the taste of the food! This is meant for those who loves to eat and not afraid to admit it. Calories off the charts but with favour that stop your heart from beating! PERIOD.

Oh yeah, note to self, bring some asprin next time just in case of an impending heart attack.

After my sort of sensitive tastebuds been pleasantly shocked by the first dish, then came the Olive Garlic Seafood Pasta. This dish is on the opposite end of the taste scale. It is lightly seasoned to pay special emphasis on the freshness of the abundant seafood on the plate. I thought green peace would shreeck in disgust for half of the ocean's content been scoped out and serve on this very plate! Activies aside, the prawns, squid, piece of white fish (jenak/kurau/merah) and some shell fish are cooked just right. Nothing is chewy nor rubbery. I think these are real fresh seafood that has not seen sub-zero temperatures. The prawns are so freaking juicy, it pops like a balloon filled with a tasty lightly salted seafood stock. Belissimo.

P/S : I went there again the very next day at 7pm. Ordered the very same things, I wanted to check the quality and portion control and i am happy to report it is still Ab-FAB! Ok i have banned myself from coming here again this month. Opss... Next weekend is already May!? Yippy... you'll know where i'll be! Ok my blog is officially 'sawang-less'.
