Bene, Sand Cotai Central, Macau

My partner in crime wanted to have Italian for lunch, so we found one in the neighborhood where we were. The concierge of the mall actually directed us to the only Italian tratorria nearby. 

We ordered calamari for starter, pear salad and spaghetti carbonara that was outrageously super creamy. I love that crispy bread so much that I munched a lot of them while waiting for the food. I think, aside from the crispy bread, I only appreciate the salad.

Ah Loy Thai

We always love to eat Thai food and we constantly look for a good place to have Thai food wherever we are. In November last year, we came across Ah Loy Thai. The reviews on the net, in general were very encouraging and we definitely wanted to try. So we did, and we agree to say that this place is not for us. We are glad that we have tried.

Lunch At Dishoom, Covent Garden

Back to the time when we were in London nearly a month ago. (I can't believe that February is almost over!). We were back at Dishoom. The restaurant offers wonderful Bombay traditional street food and seems to be really busy all the time. 

These are the dishes for the four of us plus Vegetable Samosas that we ordered a little bit later and I forgot take a snap of them.

La Nonna, Namly - Dinner

We had a guest and the five of us went to La Nonna for an Italian dinner, one evening in June. There were more dishes ordered but I only took pictures of some. The above is the dish that I picked for myself, it was salmon wrapped in prosciutto. It was a big piece. 

The rests are our usual dishes, Fried Calamari and Caprese Salad to share. (Please forgive the blurry pictures.)

Pizzeria Trattoria Napule, Tokyo Midtown

It was the evening after we spent the whole day in Tokyo Disneyland and we were ready for some Italian food in the neighborhood of our hotel. Tokyo Midtown, where this restaurant was located, was just near our hotel and we, honestly were tempted by the pictures of food they put up on their ads. 

Just before writing this post, I read some reviews of the place in TripAdvisor. People have totally different views of the same waiter/manager, some hated him, some liked him. I found him accommodating to our requests as we did ask some changes from their original menu. There were many hate and love reviews about the venue and the food.  I guess, everything is always subjective. People's perception of certain things varied. 

Anyway, the above was our starter, Fritto Misto with vegetables and below is pizza that we shared. I had mushroom risotto and the other two had pasta. We also tried two desserts, Tiramisu and Cannoli. There was a cover charge of 2,000 yeah for the four of us.

Prego Lunch

We revisited Prego a while back, thinking that we had quite a good experience with their food. This time we found the food just alright, they did not really make us feel like going back again. The four of us had these dishes. 

Zizzi Ristorante Lunch

I guess, we are comfortable with the food at Zizzi. We have been to their restaurants in Cambridge, Oxford and London and this time we revisited the one in London again. What we ordered also didn't vary that much. But for starter, we tried their Fritto Misto for the first time. We enjoyed this fried little things. Yum.

Not much surprises here, Miss K ordered a vegetarian pizza, DH went for his pasta and I had salad with pan seared salmon. Dessert was Tiramisu. We like Tiramisu. What to do but order one?

Prego Lunch

 

From time to time we revisit Prego, mostly for lunch. The whole team minus one went there back in June to celebrate an early Father's day. 

We had Calamari Fritti (Fried Calamari) and Parmigiana di Melanzane (Baked Eggplant  Parmigiana) for Anti Pasti.

 

 

We had two seared fish dishes, a pasta and risotto. Dessert to share was Tiramisu.

Penne Tartufate (Wild Mushroom, Truffle Cream Sauce)

Risotto Frutti di Mare (Seafood Risotto)

 

L'Angolo di casa, Milan

We had dinner at this place upon the recommendation of our hotel's Concierge. It's located within minutes on foot from where we stayed and it was good, because we were still exhausted from the traveling time and jetlag.  The food they serve didn't make good-looking pictures but they tasted great. The staff there were also accommodating to my company's special requests.

 

We had Fritto Misto  as starter. They were a little bit oily but the seafood was so good!

I had Milanese Risotto with Osso Buco. Delish! I enjoyed every bit of it. 

 DH's tonight's order was his usual Seafood Pasta. I believe it tasted great too.
