it was a lovely Friday~
where i've already enjoyed the whole week holiday...
spent a night with all my best buddies...
to celebrate one of my best girlfriends' birthday~
birthday celebration is always our best reason for gathering...
sound so sad and mean...
but at least we do keep it for many many years... ^^
***
the birthday girl chose d'italiane kitchen as the venue for the celebration~
of course i'll give 100% support... since it's so near to my house! =D
let's see what we had for the night...
 |
| Stuffed Portabello Mushroom as appetizer.. |
we ordered a appetizer to share...
what out of our expectation was only 2 pieces of mushroom on our plate...
2 pieces of mushroom for 8 person?
but it's really tasty~
the combination of the marinated minced meat and portabello mushroom was so good!
then, my order was the 1st dish served to our table...
 |
| Salmone Gamberi, wanted to try since last visit to d'italiane kitchen... |
salmon stuffed with prawn and eggplant topped with lemon cream reduction...
served with creamed spinach and potatoes...
really delicious! not too milky but creamy enough... nice!
let's see what birthday girl has ordered...
 |
| Bransino (Sea Bass) with Scallops... nicely presented... |
pan grilled sea bass with seared scallops with orange and white wine seafood reduction...
from the menu it written served with boiled potatoes and asparagus...
but we only saw potatoes...where are the asparagus??
probably supplier didn't supply asparagus to them... =P
i was so busy taking all the photos, meanwhile the waiter also busy serving our food...
one of us has ordered the common yet famous Italian dish...
 |
| Carbonarra Chicken Spaghetti...smell really nice! |
i would say it was one of the best carbonarra spaghetti that i've ever had...
i kinda like their creamy sauce...not too salty and not over milky...
it was just nice even towards the end...
since one of the girls can't make up her mind what to order~
i suggested her to take a dish that i've tried during my last visit...
 |
| Smoked Duck Alio Olio...love the mushrooms very much... ^^ |
breast of duck, mushrooms and herbs in olive oil...
nice combination...not too oily...
i would just say "YUMMY!"...
out of all 9 main courses, there is one i don't really know how to appreciate it...
let the picture tells the story~
 |
| Baked Three Cheese... overwhelmed cheese... |
a combination of gouda, parmesan and morzarella baked with penne in cream...
is really super cheesy~ the 1st taste was awesome...
but towards the end, it was too cheesy for all of us...
the only main course that was not finish...
then come the most expensive main course of the night~
my love's order...
 |
| Merluzzo (Cod Fish) with creamy Lemon Dill sauce... hmm~~ ^^ |
grilled cod fish topped with creamy lemon and dill reduction~
served with seasonal vegetable and boiled potatoes...
it was nice creation... but i still prefer Tony Roma's cod fish... XD
after we made most of our order, KK found the monthly special menu...
that is why he is the only one who get to order from the monthly special menu~
in fact, non of the menu in the monthly special seem attractive to us...
except KK's order...
 |
| Trout with creamy Lemon and Dill sauce... one whole trout... |
it was the first time i've seen one whole fish been served on plate for Italian cuisine...
or maybe just because i didn't try more enough of Italian cuisine...
but it did impress me~
the trout was good! fresh and nicely cooked...
but it took quite some time to finish it because of the bones...
okay~ enough for all the fish and seafood...
let's check out their lamb...
 |
| Jumbo Lamb Shank for only RM 32.90... worth it!! |
hmm... premium Australian lamb shank braised in natural juices and herbs...
topped with brown sauce and served with seasonal vegetable and mashed potato...
the melted in mouth lamb shank was really good...
with the price they charged...is a MUST try in d'italiane kitchen!
as usual, we worried for our vegetarian friend...
what can he eat whenever we have gathering...
there are always dishes that not using any meat as ingredients...
and this time, he had this:
 |
| Risotto AL Funghi~ creamy Italian rice... |
slow cooked Arborio rice with light cream,button mushrooms and porcini mushrooms...
i will never forget his expression when the risotto served to him...
he was expecting the rice like the normal fried rice that we have...
well~ i won't laugh at him...because my 1st experience with risotto was about the same... =D
usual creamy slow cooked rice...i like the taste but again, it was too creamy...
with rice, i can't even finish quarter of it...
as i mentioned earlier, it was a birthday celebration~
of course we will have the usual birthday cake and birthday song...
Happy Birthday, Jian! ^^
 |
| complete girls group photo... after our Raya getaway... =) |
this time, we didn't forget to take a group photo...
right in front of the restaurant~
 |
| yeah~ before we say goodbye to each other... |
it was really a good night out with all of them...
with all the good food~
d'italiane kitchen has made our celebration cum gathering a very successful one...
