I come, I see, I Hunt and I Chiak Its mainly about food, some fashion, movie and the 'lengang' days of me~

We life once in our life and I always mention to my friend live to the fullest, it is not an easy task to find someone we love and cherish to share our life with as this weekend Valentine’s Day is one of the day that widely celebrated across the globe. It is a traditional day for lovers expresses their love by presenting flowers, gift, confectionary and greeting cards to each other.

A romantic dinner for the night could not be miss by most of the couples yet I have recently discover one of a great restaurant perfectly suits for love birds which is located at the lobby of Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel.

When I first walk into the restaurant, I had fall in love with the place with Europe Italian setting is build up with dim light classic atmosphere that create such a romantic ambiance yet relaxing.

The live band is great that will play throughout the night that make as soft background music which is absolutely romantic for couples to sit on the table to gaze at each other, soft chat and enjoy the dinner through the night.

A open concept kitchen with firewood pizza toasting in it..nyum~

All tables will be serving with the special bread and for bread lovers, you would enjoy this plain bread as much as I do.

One of the thing that I discover another level was the butter, I have learn the new type of butter which is ‘Tomato Butter’ in orange colour, when I slap the half piece of the butter on to my bread I just fell in love with the taste, with butter taste yet nice young tomato taste is mild that blend well with the butter taste, new unique experience and taste.

The love menu of the night.

‘Lobster Tower served with Zucchini and White Beans’ is the first dish that introduce to us. The lobster is compress into a cylinder to make it stand so solid high and press it down with fork, you can just see all the solid ingredient spread out. Lobster meat is solid yet sweet and eat along with the beans is just something new to me. The texture of the soft creamy white beans is a perfect combination with it.

Next we got serve with moist ‘Rigatoni with Ricotta Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce’ is another unique experience for me. Long cylinder cook in creamy cheese sauce had form a mouth watering melt base on the tongue yet eat along with sun dried tomato, added the sourness of it.

To ensure you still have strong taste bud for next coming serving, you are serve with ‘Watermelon Sherbet’ to keep the enjoyment refresh. Soft smooth texture with strong watermelon taste that will just melt in your tongue burst with flavor.

The climax of the night was the serving of ‘Veal Medallion with Grape Sauce’ which I do not know what veal is until it got served. It look so nice and delicious till I wanted to eat on the spot immediately. I cannot imagine that the veal is so soft, tender and juicy that one piece of it is enough to kill me away. Eat it along with the grape sauce created another sensational taste, sour yet you slowly munch on the veal created a bursting flavor of aroma in the mouth.

Then when ‘Grilled red Snapper served with Sauteed Fennel’ was served it looks more like an angle flying towards me. The red snapper is very fresh, yet its huge, soft juicy meat that eat along with the sauce on the plate is perfect for ladies or non red-meat eater.

The last for the night, you will be shot by cupid in da house with 'Strawberry Parfait with Star Anise Sauce’ that brings the meal to finale.

and you will be signing off with hot Coffee or Tea served with Chocolate Paralines.

What can you expect in from a restaurant operating in this area of course first comes with the pricing.

Second is I just love their dim light setting with modern home feel setting yet very relaxing and cozy that is perfect hang out place for couples. This place is usually pack after 9.30pm which most of the couples sitting in it and relaxing or chatting on the sofa.

The restaurant concept is to promote more on healty eating by using the right ingrediant to create the best out of it.

What is look for in this shop which is, they specializes in tea which most of the women are a fan of it. The tea mixture is their self own discovery which they do have their very RnD team just for this. Their tea can help some adults in their mood, which some might be stress, angry, need a place to relax, insomnia which they are discovering to ease those people to relax for the night.

Then we were thought by a tea specialist lady explaning how they brew the tea and what is the function for each tea.

All their tea flowers can be purchase at their counter if you do find any of the taste suits you. It is not very expensive as you only need a flower or 2 to make your tea during the night.

If you are not a tea lover, then you can opt for their Cold Version.

After we bombard with all the drinks tasted then we were bombard with food. All drinks price range from RM5.90-RM13.90

Starter of the night start of with 'Sauteed Sausage with Ikan Bilis (with Cili Padi)' Just love the taste of the solid sausage meat that blend in well with the crispy small little ikan bilis yet it’s a lil bit spicy that bring the taste more outstanding. I just finish this plate by myself.

‘Shrimp Cocktail in Wasabi Mayo’ is next in the list that the shrimp is quite huge with its springy solid prawn meat which is the sign of freshness yet the wasabi is just the right taste that will just make you burst into tears a lil.

I am a big fan of salad, therefore any salad that comes will directly go into my mouth, ‘Caesar Salad with a dash of Anchovy in Olive Oil’.

If you are a sandwich lover ‘Roast chicken Sandwich Coated with BBQ Sauce', with a side salad. The toasted bun is filled with a deboned chicken thigh brushed with BBQ sauce (or you can choose honey lemon mustard).’ Is something you cannot miss. RM10.90

One of the star of the night is ‘Black Pepper Seafood Udon (spicy)’. Not too strong black pepper sauce taste yet solid springy udon that did not overcook yet with wok hei is something we enjoy eating. This udon went manage to go only half of the table. RM16.90

In pasta, ‘Creamy Mushroom Pasta (Mushroom Carbonara)’ is always my most preferred choice. Fried till a bit dry yet can still enjoy the stickiness of the sauce on the pasta that is a bit creamy, cheesy and not too strong of milk taste that suits everyone on the table. RM13.90

Another dish that were highly praised by the rest as I did not manage to try it out is ‘Aglio Olio with Prawns’ – flavoured with extra virgin olive oil, herbs and a sprinkle of paprika. Something which is simple yet they can make it tasty. RM13.90

The smell of the lemon sauce on the fish flying around our nose trill already making us want to eat it, the fish meat was cook till very soft which is fresh yet the sauce is just perfect to bring up the taste of it. ‘Pan-grilled Dory fillet slathered with Honey Lemon Mustard Sauce, (which is a blend of wholegrain mustard with honey and lemon juice). No salt or sugar added here so the dish is even good for diabetics.

In this shop, I just love their ‘Lamb Chop in Black-pepper Sauce’ juicy tender meat of lamb that is well balance part of fats and meat with the black peper sauce just bring the extra umph in the meat. RM18.90

‘Sirloin Steak in BBQ sauce’ was cook medium rare as we prefer and with the size and thickness of it, we would say well cook as most of the foodie did not eat beef that night, I just enjoy this very great piece by myself. RM25.90
