Happy Birthdai Fei

My sister turns 17 today. Yes la.... faster go take her driving license. Don't have to send her and pick her to places anymore! Muahahaha.

Since my sis wanted to have pasta, I suggested we head to 1Utama Italianis for Italian. I remembered Jin and Amy saying that the restaurant served good food. And yes it did.

There was bread on the table, just a little something for the stomach while we wait. At the side, a plate with a mix of vinegar and olive oil. Very nice smell! I dipped the bread in and tasted good. The bread itself was delicious. Hard crust and soft on the inside. Not too dry but just moist enough to taste the sweetness of the bread.

We had stuffed mushrooms for starters as recommended by Jin. Super delicious! Fresh brown button mushrooms stuffed with marinated minced meat and diced tomatoes served over a cheese sauce. I think I could have eaten all of them!

Then the spaghetti meatballs came. Bolognaise with meatballs the size of tennis balls. Good stuff. I think they mixed sun dried tomatoes with fresh tomatoes in the cause. Very very nice. The meatball (there was only 2, cos the servings were actually meant for 2 to 3 person per serving) was good. Minced beef marinated with herbs.

My dad can't eat beef so we ordered some chicken fettuccine for him. That's the best fettuccine dish I have ever tasted. I don't recommend it for those who can't take cheese or only like Malaysian’ized pasta. I don't know what type of cheese they used but it's definitely not the common ones. The cheese was little, but taste and the smell of the cheese was strong. The thickness of the sauce was just perfect, not too watery. Sounds like we ate very little, we couldn't finish the food!

The deco of the restaurant was nice too. Very old Italian interior, very warm and cosy (and I think with free WiFi too!). The narrow'ness and the length of the restaurant made it even more Italian like. I like the back portion of the restaurant. The walls were decorated like it was made of old rock bricks. The floor was tiled with old broken ceramic tiles. There were coloured glass bottles in all shapes and sizes that also made the place feel very Italian.

The bill came to RM118. More or less RM30 perhead. I think it's worth every single cent that my dad paid. Good food, nice atmosphere and good service.

I'm definitely going back for more food. Want to try some of their herb chicken dish and their pizza. I wonder if it is as good as the one I ate in Sri Hartamas with Jun Kun. Italianis in 1Utama. Nice place with good Italian food. ....now just have to wait for my pocket to fill up with $ hehehe
