Italiannies
After the donuts shopping spree at Pavilion’s J.Co Donuts & Coffee, I then proceeded to meet up with Nee where both of us headed to The Curve’s Italiannies. It was quite a jam as the short distance from Section 13 to The Curve took longer than 45 minutes.
My last visit to Italiannies was during the month of May, which I went with Sook Ying and JiNz. Click on the link to read my first visit to the restaurant that serves decent pizzas, pastas and other Italian cuisines. Every thing was pretty much the same except that there were quite a bit of crowd as it was dinner time.
Upon seated, we were served with a plate of bread, that came in two texture, soft and hard. There’s a plate of sauce, mixed using olive oil, sprinkle of herbs and spices and vinegar (?).
Deep fried calamari. A little oily, but it was all good. Served with a bowl of authentic Italian tomato sauce, which didn’t seem to really go along with the deep fried squid. I mean, I am used to the artificial tomato sauce already. Ha! They didn’t over fry it and the sponginess and juiciness of the squid were well retained. Yet, can don’t serve me too much of the leggy part? -sweat-
Nee doesn’t take beef and that means no lasagna. Say no to chicken lasagna.
Nee doesn’t like salmon and I can’t try the salmon carabona.
I have tried shrimp aglio olio before and I try to avoid the same food / main course.
Pizzas are way too much for both of us and they are dry too.
And, that pretty much strike off most of the items in the menu. Anyway, knowing that the portion at Italiannies is awfully huge, I ordered one main course for both of us to share. Deep fried chicken topped with melted cheese, served with tomato sauced based spaghetti. There’s a name for it, but I have forgotten. It’s called Chicken Parmagiana, credits to Hung Wei.
You got to love the cheese that they put in their dishes. Sinfully delicious and aromatic. The chicken breast meat was coated with cheese, moisturizing the rather dry meat so that its easier to be gulped down. Yet, not too wet till the crispy layer was soaked away.
As expected, Nee couldn’t finish her share and I gladly finished most of them, leaving a little bit behind for them to clear up. Despite being rather full, how could I resist their tiramisu, which was just God damn delicious and full of flavours. Soft, like you are eating ice cream, which melts right in your mouth, only to be welcomed with some rum, blended with chocolate and coffee flavoured finger sponge. Heavenly.
We paid the bill and it came close to RM90, and I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and filled to the brim.
Heh!

Prego is an Italian restaurant (not to be mistaken with the brand of pasta sauce which is widely found in supermarkets). They offer something different compare to other Italian chain restaurants.. My flickr got a few pics of their foods..
