Italiannies Pasta, Pizza & Vino, The Gardens

can't remember how many times i had my meal at Italiannies...
and i really love their food...
this time, went for their set lunch~
they have changed their lunch promo from RM17.90 for 2-course meal to RM15.90 onwards with soup of the day or salad and free flow of  pepsi...
to me~ this is a good change...
let's see why do i say so... =)
the usual olive oil with herbs and the balsamic vinegar ~
the waiters will pour into a plate as the dipping for the bread~
it's really a good match with their home baked bread...
we have choice of wild mushroom soup or minestrone soup...
of course we chose both since we can share...
i like their mushroom soup~ is rich and yet not too over creamy...
is very thick and generous on the mushroom~
every bite can taste the minced mushroom...
wild mushroom soup as starter...
their minestrone was tomato base...
can easily taste the sour of the tomato~
but i kinda like it because it opened my taste bud... 
tomato base Minestrone... yum!
as for the mains...
she chose the common meat sauce pasta~
the Penne Bolognese...
from the photo can see it clearly they are generous on the meat...
Penne Bolognese, the meat sauce pasta...
he chose the Shrimp Aglio Olio~
the linguine with shrimp, artichoke hearts, oven-dried tomatoes, black olives and garlic...
it was not oily...and the shrimp was fresh...
again, they are really generous on the ingredients...
Shrimp Aglio Olio... one of my favourite pastas...
i don't feel like having any pasta...
hence, i chose the recommended item~
- Chicken Milanese -
the grilled chicken breast served over cream spinach, then topped with chilled tomato caper relish...
the grilled chicken breast was perfectly done...
it was juicy and tender~
and i like their cream spinach which mix perfectly with the chicken...
it was just so match...
Chicken Milanese, the recommended item...
after our mains been served, we still didn't get the complimentary house-baked bread...
after we checked with the waiter then only the bread been served...
but i was very disappointed with the bread~
it was cold and hard...totally different with what i usually had~
the complimentary house-baked bread...
we also ordered an extra item which attracted us with the photo in the menu~
- Clams Lombardi - 
the clams simmered in white wine, olive oil, oregano, garlic and parsley...
it was so nice! the clams were fresh, fat and meaty...
we finished the clams as well as the gravy...
it tasted similar with the Chinese style clams cooked in wine base soup...
the Chinese like Clams Lombardi~
Italiannies is always my choice when i wanted to have Italian cuisine...
it can be found easily in every shopping malls...
is very convenient to everybody~

Food Foundry, Section 17 PJ

- 29.11.2011 -

birthday celebration is always the best motivation for gathering~
in November, we celebrated Mei San's birthday at Food Foundry...
can't remember when was my first time to Food Foundry,
but the impression wasn't good...
this time, they changed my mind~
let's see what we had on that night...
i like their menu printing on the icing paper...
i had their soup of the day as my starter...
Mushroom Soup for the day...
their mushroom soup was very rich~
every bite can taste the minced mushroom...
very generous on portion too...
yummy Mushroom Soup as soup of the day...
 Bei ordered a normal Aglio Olio Pasta...
this is our all time favourite...
hardly get any Aglio Olio pasta that is not nice~
their Aglio Olio is not too oily...everything is just nice...
standard Aglio Olio Pasta...
 that was the first time i saw Chicken Cordon Bleu been served by chopped into pieces...
and their Cordon Bleu was served on a bed of spinach with cheese...
the cheese was not stuffed in the chicken~
it was special and tasted very nice...
the chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside...
special Chicken Cordon Bleu... nice!
i never know that prawn and eggplant can be a good match...
until we tried on the Prawn & Eggplant Pasta...
the prawn was fresh and big...
mix with the soft eggplant was just so nice~ 
the birthday girl's selection - Prawn & Eggplant Pasta...
 i'm a salmon crazy...
whenever i look at the menu, anything with salmon will attract me~
hence, i had the Smoked Salmon Alfredo...
it was creamy but not too sticky...
usually smoked salmon items will become a bit too salty towards the end~
but i found their alfredo was just nice...
yummy Smoked Salmon Alfredo~
 we have a vegetarian friend with us...
and we always worry that he got nothing to eat during the dinner...
it was so good that Food Foundry served vegetarian food too...
they have a Vegetarian Pasta in their menu...
it looks very tempting... i believe it taste good as well...
very colourful Vegetarian Pasta...
 another common pasta we had on that night was Carbonara Pasta...
it was one of the common pasta that we can have it everywhere...
but too bad~ their Carbonara was too salty...
we can't even finish the whole plate...
creamy but salty Carbonara Pasta...
 the main reason we chose Food Foundry was the very unique dessert served over there~
the recently very hot and famous dessert
- Mille Crepe -
they served 5 flavours of Mille Crepe...
which are the original Vanilla Mille Crepe~
i don't really fancy vanilla...
but i would say the Vanilla Mille Crepe was nice...
the original Mille Crepe - Vanilla flavour...
 we also ordered the Chocolate Mille Crepe~
i love their chocolate powder topping...
it was not too sweet, tasted like light dark chocolate...
hmm~ yum yum!!
my favourite - Chocolate Mille Crepe...
 we actually wanted to order the Mango Mille Crepe...
unfortunately, they don't have it on that day...
hence, we had the Strawberry Mille Crepe~
i thought the strawberry flavours will taste like chemical...
(it was my impression on strawberry made items)
surprisingly, it was so nice! i love the very strong strawberry taste but not too sweet...
the surprisingly nice Strawberry Mille Crepe~
it was a nice gathering...
we all enjoyed the food and the time we spent together...
especially the combined of 3 pieces Mille Crepe birthday cake...
will definitely go back for the Mille Crepe~
hmm... i miss the Mille Crepe already...
the after work group shot... =)
