Italian affair @ Buonasera, SS2

Mie is back! After being hiatus for almost 2 months (blame the corporate exercise in China!!!), i am now back writing my beloved blog! Miss the time writing my feelings and comments in my sweet lovely blog...haha....

The special one was in town yesterday, spending the Mid Autumn festival with me ^_^ We also decided to have a lovely yet simple dinner to celebrate my recent promotion ^_^

So we headed to Buonasera, a neighbourhood italian restaurant located @ SS2. I have read about the good review of this restaurant from bloggers and decided to give it a try. The chef used to work with Pizza Uno (which i like very much too but didn't manage to visit anymore since few years back....) and is also running some cooking classes at The Cooking House.

We started off with 3 mushroom soup - RM9.90

I wasn't too impressed as i personally favour a thicker version of mushroom soup. This came out to be a bit plain to my liking, but he liked it much. Nevertheless, it still tasted good, just a bit watery...

Prosciutto Melon - RM29.90

Thin dry-cured ham paired with sweet & ripe melon wedges

Juicy!

Fantastic combination!

This is actually the main reason why i wanted to visit this restaurant...

Penne Boscaiola - RM28.90

A very generous portion of pasta with mushrooms and pork.

I'm not normally a big fan of cream sauce, but i must say that i really enjoyed this dish. Just very sumptuous and flavourful ~~~

All Pescatore pizza - RM37.90

A seafood pizza, thin layer of crust and yet not hard at all. Proven that the pizza base is really freshly made. Expect some squid, large shrimp and even oyster on this pizza. Topped with italian tomato sauce, it makes you yearn for more !

Oh by the way, this is a large pizza and we managed to wallop it all....hehe..

My all time favourite - Tiramisu - RM16.90

Served in a cocktail glass, i really enjoyed this to the fullest.

Generous portion of mascarpone and some hint of alcohol, GOOD!

Too full from all the mains, he couldn't stuff in the desserts anymore.

Ended i finish this on my own...GUILTY!

I'm rather impressed by the quality and the selection of foods here, not to mention it's mid range pricing. If you are craving for some home cooked and authentic italian dishes, this would be the place i recommend. Oh yes, they are non-halal, use extra virgin olive oil and no MSG!

Babe's bday celebration @ Bella Italia

We have a few Jimui whose birthday falls in July. Why July is such a productive month ah??? Having no idea where to celebrate, i suggested Bella Italia @ SS2 which i blog before, and they agreed since i kept on saying it's a very lovely and homey Italian restaurant, and most of them never visited there before....

The cousins always end up sitting together..haha...

Regene, Mie, Satine

Ok, let's see what we had on that night....We got everyone to order 1 dish each, ended up our table was so full with foods ~~~~

Mushroom soup which i strongly recommended, and they gave thumbs up too...

Forgot the name of this soup, something with italian name

A kind of seafood soup which looked like tomyam. Like the tanginess and the generous amount of seafood, expect mussels, lala, squid, prawn and so on.....

We love this very much

Fried button mushroom

Crispy on the outside. Like the accompanied salad sauce too...

Their signature pizza

Thin crust pizza, a bit dry in my opinion.

Seafood lasagna

Like the cheesiness!!!

Salmon fettucini/linguini

Awesome! Very nice...

This is spaghetti with fried chicken strips

A bit spicy, and the sauce is a bit watery. Quite flavourful though, but the chicken strip was way bit a lil hard...

My all time favourite

Lamb Shank

Lamb was cooked perfectly well, very tender...

We love the sauce too...next time must get some garlic bread to go with!

Portion is a bit too much for 1 person, but we were sharing...

Grilled Salmon

Normal, but well marinated though....

Some kind of beef fillets

Very juicy and tender, yum yum!

The Spread

All were so full!

~ Us ~

Merry Merry birthday to 3 lovely ladies

We were full but still have a little room for lovely desserts...hehe...

Just can't resist the temptation of their TIRAMISU !!

We then wanted to adjourn to Murni which is just next door but couldn't find any empty table, although the number of tables has spread across row of shops! So we ended up to Leo's cafe, where Yoon Li joined us and we hang around..... Till we fix another gathering again my lovely Jimuis!

Pizzeria Bella Italia @ SS2

Pizzeria Bella Italia was introduced by my ex colleague who stayed in SS2 previously. It offers an affordable Italian cuisine with pretty good ambience and high quality of food. It has been very long since i last visited, i think is more than 2 years. I suddenly reminded of this restaurant last Friday and visited it for dinner....

I like their ambience which feels so homely.

Simple setup, that's all you need to enjoy your food.

Lime juice and Chocolate Milk Shake

Mushroom soup

Generous tiny chunk of mushroom. Creamy but not watery.

GOOD

I like the aroma ~~~

Spaghetti Carbonara

Creamy sauce with good quality of beef bacon + button mushroom

Yummy to the fullest

I managed to order the best dish for someone...hehe...

Beef Lasagna

Lotsa cheese...so cheeeeeessy

We both like the shredded beef sauce

Definitely suit cheese lover

Another temptation which attracts me here

TIRAMISU

This is non alcohol version

I kept on indulge in this and ended up being laughed by someone...

Definitely am able to finish it by myself, but the guilty feeling made me stop from finishing it to the last bite...haha....

Trust me. It's extremely good. I have no other word to describe it. Moreover, it's only priced at RM7.90!

It is located at the same row as the Murni mamak in SS2, a few doors away from Public Bank and beside a pet shop

You may try this restaurant if you are craving for Italian cuisine at an affordable price. Happy Italian!

My Saturday...

What normally do you do on weekend? Dating? Working? Relaxing?.....i am sure you guys have many plans going on on weekend. If i do not need to work on weekend, i will definitely find some programmes to fill up the precious weekend...hehe...

We went to KLCC today, main reason being wanna visit the PC fair held at KLCC Convention Centre. I have never been to any PC Fair before as i know the place would be very very crowded...i just do not like such environment. This round, i plan to go since we plan to get a camera for my dad's birthday this month....

Before heading towards the Convention Centre, we had lunch here.....

Will blog in detail of the foods later!

We then went to the PC fair...and what we saw were this:

SO many heads around @_@ It was so packed with people and the promoters keep shouting to promote their products. Recession? I don't think so.... And girls, please be careful when you are going for such event, either PC Fair, MATTA Fair...whatever fair....protect your "assets" as there are many "intended" and "unintended" people just trying to have "fun" around...they just bang at you like nobody. You guys know what i mean. I was extra careful when i walked .....

Oh by the way, we got a camera from Canon for dad's birthday. I think he will love it so much since he will be going overseas for travel end of the month so he can start to use the camera to take pictures!

This is what i cooked for dinner...remember the pasta that i blog about previously? Same method of cooking, only the sauce and ingredients that i have changed to "Cheese and Herbs" and "Tuna"....well i do not like this sauce actually...not to my liking......

How do you spend your weekend? I hope it's a good one =) Happy weekend......

It's Delicious...

It is Tracy's birthday today so we decided to buy her birthday lunch. Cracking head where to go for lunch and we finally decided to have a Delicious lunch....Many of us have heard of it before but never try the food (including me who never try their main course) so we think this restaurant would be a rather good choice.

We headed to the restaurant at Marc Service Residence which is just a mere less than 5 minutes of the journey from our office....

Clear distinguish between smoking area and non smoking area

The ambience of the restaurant and it was packed during lunch. Luckily we made prior reservation...

Difficult task again ><

B'day girl on the left...

Some photo snapping before our meals arrived....

Let's get some Delicious stuff!!

Mediterranean Chicken Salad with Balsamic Leaves - RM22.90

consist of chunks of chicken, balsamic leaves, onions, nuts, cucumber, pepper, garnished with olive oil...

did not put high expectation on this dish but it turned out to be awesomely fresh and Delicious! I just love the feeling of eating the mix of fresh stuff together with the olive oil...phew~~~

Macchiato - RM7.90



Tall Latte - RM9.90
Very nicely done...

Frosty Lemon Tea - RM9.90

Homemade Ginger Beer - RM8.90

I had high expectation on the ginger beer since it stated as homemade, but it turned out to be a lil disappointing. I didnt really feel the taste of ginger. And you could imagine i didn't finish it...

Hot Honey Lemon Tea - RM5.90

I like the way they separate the honey so we can choose the level of sweetness

Wow! The sotong is calling you!

Spicy Seafood Spaghetti - RM24.90

Ju has finished it so i guess it tasted not bad

Duck Confit Pasta - RM24.90

Well above our expectation. Generous chunks of duck confit. We noticed that they put in some dried chillis so the taste is a bit fiery though...

Spaghetti Carbonara - RM22.90

Beth's said this is her favourite. No complain from her so i guess it was OK...

My order - Smoked Salmon Angelhair Pasta - RM26.90

Can you see the caviar garnished on top? ^_^

If you see something that consist of 2 of your favourite food in one course, would you order it? Well, i would....

I love angelhair pasta cos it is slightly tiny compared to spaghetti, and it goes well with the smoked salmon. And i love salmon cos it is rich in omega and not fattening...

Overall, i was satisfied with this dish...

Cheese Macaroni - RM21.90

Didn't get to try out this but i heard it's rich in cheese. So sinful!

Fish & Chips - RM28.90

Comes in 3 pieces and some tartar sauce.

Some of them couldn't finish it though..haha

Let's go for some desserts. Have heard of their sinfully Delicious desserts before so we headed to the cake counter to choose...

My eyes drooling lo....duno when i can i finish trying all of it @_@

B'day girl with her cakes...

Tiramisu - RM12.90

I always love tiramisu served in a glass. Still prefer those with some alcohol dash...hehe

Sam strongly recommended this

Mango Cheesecake - RM12.90

Very damn rich of mango flavours and it is definitely a good choice for mango lovers...and the mango taste has somehow covered the rich cheese flavour and i found it yummy!

~ B'day girl with her JiMuis ~

Hmm..i would love to try out their hi-tea set. Anyone interested?

They have some kind of promo where we only need to drop our name card. I guess they will just do lucky draw. See my card? Pray hard for me so i will tag you along if i get chosen! Haha....

Overall it was a good lunch session in a very nice environment. We were seated at the long sofas. I think i would visit there again for some lazy afternoon tea time.....
