Pasta @ Pasta Pasta - Jalan Gaya

Yet another new eatery in the heart of KK! With a new eatery comes more choice and as the name 'Pasta Pasta' suggests, you guessed it pasta is most definitely on the menu! Love the concept here, there's several pastas to choose from, choose one then choose a sauce, finally add a topping, simple. All dishes come in at 6.50 MYR, unless of course you want extra topping which costs an extra dollar. The servings are deceptively filling, but I have to say too saucy for our personal taste. We both had linguine, I had the tomato sauce which was very tasty, with meatballs, now I thought they tasted a little weird, The Nibbler loved them - just goes to show how different personal taste can be!
 

The Little Nibbler had the pesto, again very saucy for pesto, with chicken and sausage, again pretty tasty. I don't think Pasta Pasta will rival other restaurants in the area offering pasta but I think for a quick lunch or a quick bite to eat, for price you can't beat it! I'm also enjoying this hole in the wall type establishment along with Chiwawa's in the area offering something different, quick and easy - great for a bite while on a night out on the tiles!

 

Funky food containers with a free recipe!

 

Pasta Pasta is yet another food choice along the changing face of Jalan Gaya.

 

The Bill : 2x Pasta, 1x Extra Topping, 2x Soft Drinks = 18 MYR

Pasta Pasta fits into the multi ethnic eating scene!

Italian Food @ Gusto Food & Wine - Waterfront

Bruschetta Romano

We started our lovely meal with some bruschetta. Sliced and toasted or griddled crusty bread, topped with pomodoro (Italian for tomato), garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil. Fresh and simple but oh so tasty!

Rigatoni Gusto

 Here's my pasta pick tonight, named after the restaurant (and quite possibly the chef), rigatoni pasta served with Italian truffle sauce and mushrooms. This dish was lovely and mushroomy, sprinkled with parmesan, I just wanted to lick the plate clean!

Rigatoni Norma

The Little Nibbler went for 'Sicily's favourite', rigatoni pasta in a deep tomato sauce with aubergine and topped with a sprinkling of Italian hard cheese, again very delicious!

Tiramisu

We ended our meal with Italy's classic and timeless dessert, lovely!

Bottle of House White Wine

Gusto's has a fantastic wine list, we opted for the house white, a chardonnay which was very enjoyable and drinkable too!

Gusto Food & Wine is located along KK's Waterfront and you can find it at the very beginning or at the very end, depending on which way you look at it!

Can't recommend Gusto's enough, great tasting, fresh Italian food from a hardworking 2 man (sorry, 1 man 1 lady) team.

The Bill : 1x Bruschetta, 2x Pasta, 1x Tiramisu, 1x House Wine = 140 MYR

Come get your Italian fix @ Gusto Food & Wine!

50% Off Pizza Pasta @ Bella - Jalan Gaya

Bella have, and have had some great offers on lately, here's their long standing offer of '50% Off Pizza Pasta' available everyday from 3 till 7pm. When I came backpacking in Borneo for the first time in 2008 I took advantage of the offer back then! I'm pleased to say I'm still taking advantage of the offer now!!!

Here's my pizza creation of artichoke and black olives, so tasty, topped off with parmesan and chilli oil, if you like it hot, that is! This pizza definitely passed my perfect base test, thin, crispy and light. Delicious!

The Little Nibbler opted for pasta, fettuccine, puttanesca style, which I'm led to believe is Italian for prostitute!!! Well, I don't know about that, but what I can tell you is that this dish was absolutely delicious! fettuccine in a mildly spiced tomato sauce with olives, capers and chilli. Wow!

Homemade lemonade and local Tenom coffee.

We decided to indulge slightly and shared a chocolate pudding, taste wise it was great, very chocolatey, though it has to be said it was very runny inside and slightly burnt on the top.

Bella is a very well known restaurant located in the heart of KK, along Jalan Gaya.

The Bill : 1x Pizza, 1x Pasta, 1x Chocolate Pudding, 1x Lemonade, 1x Coffee = 57.40 MYR

Who can resist half priced delicious food!

Not me!!!

Pizza & Pasta @ Little Italy - Downtown

Judging by the evening crowds (and I mean every evening) Little Italy must be everyone's favourite Italian restaurant here in KK. It's definitely my first choice for Pizza. 
Today we had an early evening craving for Italian food, so why not take advantage and beat the evening crowds!
I thought I'd try a new topping today and picked Pollo E Funghi which is marinated chicken with mushrooms. The chicken was plentiful and had a smokey, bbq taste along with fresh mushrooms and their wonderful tomato sauce, topped with chewy mozzarella cheese. The base is very important to me when it comes to pizza and Little Italy do a superb job with their thin and crispy base.

The Little Nibbler loves their Lasagne All Emiliana so this was todays selection. I was lucky enough to try this and it was delicious. Pasta sheets with a rich, minced beef sauce, lots of cheese and again that garlicky tomato sauce. Yum-yum!

Another favourite pick is the homemade lemonade, truly a refreshing drink on a hot sunny day or a hot and humid night!

Little Italy is located downtown below Capital Hotel and directly across the road from Wisma Merdeka.

Tasty!

Refreshing!

The Bill : 1x Large Pizza, 1x Lasagne, 2x Large Lemonade = 83.15 MYR

If you love great Pizza, Pasta and a lively, buzzing atmosphere head down to Little Italy any night of the week!
