Aria Traditional Italian Dining @ Bukit Damansara

13/02/2012 No Comments

To have a good food is always a bonus and satisfying. The catch is, good food is always hidden some where and needed to be hunt. That is why we always we love to hunt for hidden food. Let me introduce you another great restaurant which is a hidden gem in Bukit Damansara that serve Aria Traditional Italian Dining.

Interior of the restaurant is pretty straight foward that offer cozy ambiance that suits for your business, family and friends hang out spot.

Seems like the owner is a big fan of Macallan that is also one of my favourite. :D, found out that he loves single malt alot~

If you are looking to host small functions or towards more private session with friends and family, they do have this room to offer with cozy sofa and a tv build in with sliding wooden door to close up.

For this session, we were given the opportunity to sample some food and we were hosted right upstairs that usually they host for private business function.

In Italian dining, Bruchetta will always be in the menu as its a very simple and delightful starter to start off with. Simple freshly cut tomato season along with their special dressing that just makes this perfect.

This is a must order if you do visit this restaurant. Mushroom Bruchetta that cook till perfection and season correctly with their own special sauce and dressing that makes the mushroom taste stand out. – recommended

as the night starting, we were pamper with Processo Vento is actually champange in Italian version. A champange that easy to go down as its Light and bubbly

Lamb Kebab with Aria’s Special Mint Sauce @ RM28

It looks simple that filled with many skewers as Minced lamb in flavourful onion, bird eye chili, lemon grass, ginger, coriander seed, salt and pepper covered in Aria’s special spicy mint sauce. The sauce is a bomb! By dipping along with the sauce just makes the mince lamb perfect. I dip till to the last drop.

I love my Italian pizza in thin crust that turns out this Hawaiian Pizzeta @ RM26. A simple pizza that serve along with turkey ham, pineapple, mozarella & oregano and I enjoy it just plainly like that without adding any sauce.

I have been looking for nice Risotto since after I have been back from overseas. Not many places can actually cook this dish to my liking and I am suprise to find Seafood Risotto in here is just perfect. The risotto cook till its soft and a bit sticky, along with mix seafood that makes it a bit sweet in taste and sour tomato taste just blends in well RM36

Aglio-Olio Smoke Duck Pasta @ RM36

This is actually one of their signature in da house and there is no doubt that we were told must sample this, and after we tried it out, we only realize why its a must to try out. Spaghetti was cook till al dante and springy with hint of light olive oil and the taste of salty smoke duck just bring’s up the taste. – Recommended!

Grilled Tenderloin @ RM70

For those who loves steak, Medium rare is always my preference as to get the tenderloin remains juicy on every bite. Even better with the first cut and you can see the blood ooze out, as his find piece serve along with sauteed vege, roasted potatoes and a choice of garlic rosemary, black pepper and brown sauce.

Super smooth fish meat that nears to melting in your mouth when you put it in as this Merluzzo Canadese Atlantico (Canadian Cod Fish) topped with olive tapenade, vegetables and laden with Mediterranean sauce serve it light and yet very flavourful. RM65

As the owner is a big fan of single malt and he let us sample different types of single malt and those 2 are very new to me as I have never heard before for Bruichladdich and Auchentoshan 18 years old, anything that you hit on with 18 years old would be a bomb. Yamazaki definately need not to explain as its not a stranger to many single malt lover which is the first choice in my list.

This 10 years old taste very good as the taste is impressive, not too spicy, yet very smooth easy to down with on the rock. Perfect to pair with seafood as it will bring out the freshness taste of the food as we pair it with the cod. Just perfect! Definitely would love to have one bottle of this to keep for my collection. As i have never seen this in the air port.

The restaurant also do sell these bottles whiskey Macallan 12 & 18 years, Auchentoshan 12 & 18 years, Clynelish 14 year as well as Japanese whiskey both blended Hakushu 12-year and single malt Yamazaki 12-year. Price is very reasonable.

Apple strudel with custard sauce @ RM23

Tiramisu @ RM20

Then to close the whole meal up, the floor manager serve us their special coffee.

I would say, this restaurant is in my recommendation list as for the price and the quality of food hidden in the neighborhood, definitely this is worth to hunt for and a recommended restaurant for Valentine’s Day which is just tomorrow and you still have yet to find a restaurant…Try this out. Great food~

One of their signature is the Wood Fire Oven Pizza. Super thin crust as thin near to paper.

The head chef himself at times overlook the quality of the pizza to make sure every pizza served out is as expectation.

By looking at the menu, I nearly fainted, that they seriouly offer huge range of food in the menu from, Western, Italian, Local which is a good combination of Fusion serving. With this menu, you do not need to fear what he or she do not like with the range provided.

Food Price ranging from RM8-RM80++ depends on what you order.

Not only that, for beer lover they set their Chinese New Year Promotion with Buy 2 get 1 Free, Tiger Draught, Tiger Crystal, Kilkenny, Heineken and Guinness is in the list of offering.

Of course I would not miss the opportunity to enjoy their draft. The wine ‘Thachi Broken Earth Cabernet Sauvignon’ is certainly recommended as I find it smooth and not very dry that can just drink it without eating food, it would be perfect for chatting session.

Their Happy hour also includes my pint RM18 (Happy Hour), RM26 (Normal) find it quite cheap.

Lychee Margerita . ..

Walking Snail Escargots would be my very first time eating it. It was baked till soft inside yet very aromatic with the garlic added on. Garlic bread spread evenly with butter and slices of garlic makes it very nice and crips. Eat along with soup definately perfect!

Yakidoori – India’s tandoori chicken with bombay onions and moroccan spices, served with a fiery chilli chutney dip @ RM10 (3 sticks) The chicken breast meat is so soft and we wonder how they marinate it till so nice. The Chutney dip is one of their own made special sauce that taste a bit sweet and sour.

Raviollo Braised Oxtail – Tender and juicy chunks served on a bed of saute kailan and tomato chutney, accompanied with pastille cabbage and carrot relish, and spiced with harissa shooter @ RM38

Ox-tail is nice that the meat just melts in my mouth. The taste is a bit solid but certainly we are liking it. I dip it with garlic bread and the combination goes pretty well too.

Grilled Chicken Breast Ala Bresse with Mushroom and Feta Cheese – Grilled to perfection with asparagus volute wrapped with beef bacon and accompanied with orange salsa, and glazed with balsamic reduction, with lentil sauce. RM25

Deep Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu – Juicy chicken breast fried to perfection, stuffed with mozzarella cheese and smoked turkey ham, on a bed of mashed potatoes, butter veggie and tangy concase puree @ RM25, the sauce is just awesome.

No matter where or how full am I, I am a big fan of Tiramisu – Old time Italian favourite of of sponge cookie soaked in strong coffee with mascarpone cream @ RM16. Love the taste with solid cocoa powder at the top and some kahlua at the bottom that the mascarpone and cream is so soft.

Another desert to be recommended is their Chocolate Mud Cake – Savory mud cake with Haagen-Dazs vanilla pecan ice-cream on vanilla sauce. Mud cake is not too solid yet very soft that put into my mouth, I just love the texture of it then with every bite filled with Haagen-Dazs makes me imagine back Esther’s expression how she enjoy every bite of this desert @ RM19

Movida Kitchen, Bar and Club Lounge @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

01/09/2010 24 Comments

During big occasions of celebrations, most of us definitely would celebrate outside, it depends on restaurant, bar, playground, seaside or anywhere but for this one occasion we decided to rock this Movida place by arranging a dinner and surprise birthday party for one of our friend.

Modiva Kitchen, Bar and Club Longue is one of the few latest edition in this one hot spot area at Sunway Giza that start operats at April 2010. A place where usually pack with people for happy hours with their great promotions and after 10pm on certain days it will become a club for people to partayyy with an option without travelling so far down to KL.

If you feel you do not want to be indoor then they have the outdoor area that a mini bar that served draft beer.

Indoor before 10pm it is more like a dining space with all plates and cutleries are in place when it is after 10 the place will change

Be prepared to get pampered by the wide range selection of draft beer.

As me, Vialentino, Uli and Ken were there early, we decided to go on for their Kilkenny draft beer, anything with draft I am into it.

A perfect half pint of Kilkenny with the smooth silky foam at the top of it.

Need to take a break after a long day hard work and enjoying myself in this great ambiance.

DJ of the night will blast you off with RnB, Trance, House and on certain days have different music. Their RnB mixing is good…

If you feel you need in style with some privacy space with your own friends, then get this VIP area with solid red sofa that suits you well by overlook at the dance floor.
