When Little Italian Kitchen closed down, I was devastated. I was their fan, their location made me come quite often, coz it was very near to my house.

Imagine my anger when I saw Pelita Nasi Kandar took over, rasa macam nak pergi marah je mamak tu ok [gila emo].

And thennn Saiful told me at YM he discovered the new Little Italian Kitchen! They did not preserve the name though, it was changed to D’Italian Kitchen.

Setelah lama procrastinating to go, we went last evening for dinner. Initially we were torn in between watching movie and makan tapi ternyata manusia bertekak setan adalah memilih makan.

I guess he realised how important that place to me, he wore his toner and perfume! Make me happier only :D.

So the new Little Italian was located at Jaya 33, ground floor.

The menu

I realised the menu has been extended and the price are higher, sekarang dah ada risotto ok! But if this is the same restaurant that I used to adore, I don’t mind paying for the price.

The ambience

We ordered and waited for our food. I was sexcited

Chics sexited nak makan

And so did he, cuma muka je tak nampak hehe

Terjongkit bahu tak sabar nak makan :P

The waiting was not too long, our appertiser came in few minutes.

We ordered sauteed mushroom, my all time favourite appertiser.

The moment I savoured the taste, I knew this is the original Little Italian Kitchen! The mushroom still taste the same!

Orgasma berganda. Sangat setap!

Spicy Crab Linguine

This is my pasta, pardon the blur picture. Orang tu kalau ambik gamba memang macam gini, yang aku pulak sibuk nak makan.

It is unusual for me to order other than olio, but I just wanted to try something different.It was not bad. You can taste the crab in the pasta, I mean real crab meat bukan crabstick yang rasanya keji itu.

But I prefer his pasta.

Smoked duck with aglio olio

Bloody delicious!

The duck taste really blend well with the pasta and pasta tu adalah menyerap rasa itik. Sedap gila! A must for duck lovers.

The thing is, this meal is only available for this month only – I thinklah sebab dia kata monthly special.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

I chose this for our dessert.

Sebenarnya dalam kereta aku dah berazam nak order galbani tiramisu dia yang sedap sampai koma tu tapiiiiiiiiiiiiii when I looked at the menu they use kahlua and rum pulak this time, dulu takdela pulak sekarang guna alkohol kenapa, tengok dah tak boleh makan.

Swirly yang tahu aku sangat suka benda ni telah meng- complaint kepada waiter but cannot do anything also :(. My second choice would be chocolate devil tapi takde dalam menu pulakkkkkkkkk.

Since the pudding is the monthly special, aku pon orderla, not badlah just I fucking want my fucking glabani tiramisu. Dem you D’ Italian Kitchen!

Wah emo, macamla dia kesah kan.

Despite not getting the right dessert, I was still happy!

Muke pengenyang yang ria!

Muke pengenyang yang ria!

How I wish the resturant tak pindah, supaya senang je aku pergi, pakai sluar katuk pon boleh pergi, ni haa, jauh la.. nak pakai serabai pon takut kot tetibe kene tahan polis ke, tak bolehla aku nak ngorat diorang untuk melepaskan diri [hehe]dengan pakaian serabai.

Swirly, in his opinion said, maybe diorang pindah sebab nak expand the business – the place is no more humble, subtle and low profile, sekarang adalah shouting ok, make me sad only :( . Plus, maybe they want to sell alcohol, so they choose to move out, sini wine choices dia boleh tahan jugakla, cuma aku order air suam je haha. Yelah Shah Alam kan bandar islam [hah!] mana boleh jual alcohol.

In case you are wondering, the bill was about RM 90 all together, affordbale right? I mean for this type of foodlah.

We went home with a full heart and full stomach.

Zzzzzz..kononnnn

Zzzzzz

Kengkonon nak cakap balik terus tidola tu padahalllllllllllllll.. tatau buat apa

Eh tapi skang dah pukul 11.45, aku nak minum air, makan brownies dan nak tido bebetul.

Oh ya, more photos at Gallery.

Ok dah tata.

House of Fishball

Last weekend, I had something to do somewhere near Damansara area. By the time I finished my thing, it’s already time for lunch.

I was thinking to cook tapi memikirkan penat ahhh makan dekat luar jelah and this is when the driver suggested House of Fishball.

A resturant yang jual semuaaa makanan berasaskan ikan.

Now, it is almost a yearlah kitorang tak pegi makan situ and I know the driver is missing their homeland mee. And as for me, I am craving for their taufu fa.

chics sengih
Ninie menyampah gila aku pakai baju ni, sorry Ninie kita takde baju dahh :P

Usually, if I eat anywhere I will always order warm water unless there’s some special drink offered at the kedai and for House of fishball, ialah air asam boi nya. The best I’ve ever drank.

air
Before you stir it.

air asam boi
They stuff the asam boi into the lime.

Minum masa matahari tengah terik adalah sangat heavennnnnnnnnnn. They also sell their asam boi stuffed limau separately, just look for it at the counter.

As for food..

Homeland mee
Homeland mee

According to the driver, homeland mee reminded him of mee kolok -the chinese version.

If you think your mee kolok is nice, think again, you have yet to taste the original mee kolok, which is sadly tidak boleh dimakan lagi oleh tukang bawak kereta kerana ada babi atau menggunakan minyak babi.

The halal one are all altered.

Anyway, homeland mee is a dry type of mee, tapi ada supla dekat tepi. Did you see the fishcakes? They all fresh and handmade from 100% real fish.

foo chuk
Foo chuk

The two rolls are fried foo chuk [I think]. I think there’s fish and vege inside. Ordered them to cicah with sauce and their black spicy soy sauce.

celery mee
Celery mee

This is mine, celery mee. The mee is made from celery hence the colour.

green mee
Green!

Don’t be scared, they are nice. Take it from someone who hate sayur like me. Just like the fishcake, the fishball are made fresh without boric acid or any preservatives. I usually hate fishball and fishcake coz they smell and taste weird but not this one.

The soup is normal, not so much taste but I like it, not sure about you.

Sadly their taufu fa sudah habis, agak kecewa sebab I loveeeeeeeeee the taufufa, with a hint of ginger taste. Nyamm. Takpe lain kali aku pegi aku makan dua [wahh tamakk]

Anddddddddd if you a porridge lover, do try their porridge. Saya adalah suka!

So dekat manala?

Do you know where’s uptown hailam chicken rice? Or kiosk [is it 7-11 now?], or one of my tetek, Layla’s Closet? Paling senang Starbucksla.. Dia sederet dengan semua tempat mentioned.

Here’s the full address

House Of Fishball – The Original 60’s Teow Chew Fish Ball

Chewy chewyyy brownies

I was bloghopping until I found a blog that sells brownies.

Pinkyretrosbazaar.

Now, I don’t really like brownies sebab to me there have no difference with chocolate cake – I don’t really like chocolate cake; muaklah. Ala you know the Chilis type of brownies tula, yang gebu itu, I don’t quite like. But the blog is selling the chewy type, which reminded me of Mrs Field cookies. Ohhh I loveeeeeee Mrs Field cookies, too bad that are no longer in business here.

Tempted, I ordered half a tray of walnut brownies. Dia ada dua jenisla yang diorang jual, normal ones and with walnut, I went for walnut.

I told them I would like to have it on Sunday and they said it’s possible walaupunnnnnn aku order short notice. And ohhhh, they are very friendly people too dan pantas membalas segala soalan dan email. I likeeeeee.

So, on sunday lepas bangun tido akibatttttttttttt kepenatan, kesakitann [will blog about it later] I went to PKNS – one of their pick up point to pick up the brownies. I met Hunny, one of them and she’s very sweet :)

You want to see the brownies?

The packaging, it’s tightly seal. So if you want them to post it to you, there should be no worries at all.

100_7550

Cepatla bukakkkkkkk

100_7551

Tadaaaaaaaaaa. Like I said, this is the chewy type hence the look. And I didn’t opt for the topping sebab tah nak makan plain macam ni jela kot. Dahla satu bekas apa tak muak nak makan siap ada topping sebanyak itu?

100_7553

Sorry for the blur pic, ni nak kene belicamera baru ni [hint 100x].

So how was it?

Setappppppppppppp!

Aku pergi ambik sensorang, by the time aku nak naik atas, the top layer is almost gone hehe. It’s sweet yet not too lemak – which I like. Stok yang makan banyak tapi tak muak.

And the taste is fresh, no weird packet taste, ni macam rasa makan kek baru lepas keluar oven.

Good thing about chewy brownies, boleh makan sambil menaip hehehee.

Habisla gemuk aku lepas ni…lepas tu habisla Peej datang shah alam baling lemak dekat aku sebab aku kata aku gemukkk. Hehe Peej jangan mintau hijau ok, aku tau tak klaka tapi bila nak  ngadu aku dah gemuk tetibe aku terbayang muka kau ready nak baling lemak.

Oklah, stop the crap, aku nak pegi bawah jap nak ambik lagi 2, besok nak puasa dah –>kecoh gila padahal orang lain dah lama start.

Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
