Dark Chocolate

Hello!

I am Valerie, the other contributer to this blog. Today I will be introducing a restaurant I went the other day for my friend's birthday........Delicious!

This is the decor of the restaurant.... white trees with white bird cages that look like lanterns... Personally I do not like this part of the decoration... makes me think of winter, cold and death. But on the plus side, they have long seats with a lot of colourful cushions. This gives a more life to the place.

The service is slightly above average to me. One thing I noticed is that my water glass is never empty throughout the whole meal. It is nice to not have to call for the waiter to refill it all the time. And when the my friend's birthday cake came out, most of the staff sang 'Happy birthday' along with us. What fell short was smiles and warmth.... something felt missing from their service.

I ordered Smoked salmon angelhair, tossed in cream, served with caviar and parsley. It was lovely!!! My friends would know that I seldom give compliments to pastas but this one deserves it. The cream was not too strong, just giving it a light milky feel (mix the noodles properly before eating to avoid dry areas). The smoked salmon was great. It taste like fresh salmon with all the flavour concentrated. Some smoked salmon loses the salmon taste but this one does not. At first i was sceptical of the small bits of salmon but the strong flavour with the light creamy sauce and angelhair is a good combination.

I cannot comment on the caviar because this is the first time I've tried it... nothing to compare it to. The parsley is supplies colour and not too strong taste that will cover the other flavours. Overall I am quite impressed with this dish.

After weighing the pros and cons ... i threw caution (and my weight machine) out the window and ordered a glass of strawberry shake! And I did not regret it one bit. This is the first time I found a milk shake that is up to expectation... it's thick enough that the straw can stand on it's own and it's does not have the overly sweet and artificial taste.

However, there is one dish called 'four cheese' (i took a taste from my friend) which is absolutely horrible. It has pasta and four types of cheeses. It is put in a ceramic bowl and baked. The dish was way over done. The pasta has turned mush and ugh... it is just too bad to describe.... even if you love cheese, this dish is too much.

The restaurant has their own website with location and even their menu. So check it out if you want to try it: http://www.delicious.com.my/

Muaks,

Val
