Porto Romano @ TTDI
24 Mar
It was a bitter-sweet day on Friday. Sweet because it was bonus day at hubby’s work place. Bitter coz he had to leave early morning to Manila. Even more bitter coz I had to wake up at 6.30 a.m to send him off to Sentral, ok I kid.
So continuing our ‘bonus tradition’, he asked me to pick a place to eat coz dinner was on him. Free meal, woot. I like.
It was a close call between MichelAngelo @ Solaris and Porto Romano @ TTDI with the latter winning thanks to many good food blog reviews.
Plus it was cheaper too (I’m that thoughtful)
Tucked in a quiet corner in Persiaran Zaaba in TTDI, this restaurant caters to a small crowd, oozes cosiness and was certainly inviting. The foreign waiters were really friendly and helpful, and most definitely the providers of entertainment of some sort for the night as we couldn’t help but laugh at their attempt of zee language.
Me: Ok make sure there’s no beef in the pasta, my religion does not allow beef. Serve me and you will forever sin.
Waiter: Ok maaam no beep in your pashhhtaaaa, no beeep, yurkey aam.
Come on now….that’s funny ok!
For appetizer we decided on the brushetta since it came highly recommended on the blogs. (Yup, our food selections are getting highly depended on blog recommendations these days). No regrets here coz it was really good.
Having some chilled beer to wash it down is a form of appetizer apparently
Then came the main courses:
He had the turkey ham and mushroom pizza
While I settled for the spaghetti carbonara which was absolutely delicious I swear. No beep in it, just turkey ham.
And we found out the hard way that sometimes, just sometimes, food blogs can lie because we went for the Tiramisu (as recommended) and it was no where good.
But it was a good thing that the pasta was amazing, else I would have left the place cranky.
Entire bill came up to: FREE for me.
What the husband paid: RM106
Rating: 8.5 outta 10. [ Gotta give 0.5 for the 'entertainment' yo] Will definitely go back for the pasta baby.
