Halal; serves alcohol

My family and I have always been fans of Alexis, ever since it opened many years ago! We decided to go over there for my mom's birthday dinner and I'm pleased to say that Alexis still hasn't failed me!

Here's the entrance to the restaurant! Pretty quaint. You can already see from the outside that the restaurant has nice interior design (at least to me), and it kind of draws you in.

View from my seat. The restaurant is fairly big. There's a lot of room, especially for private functions. There's a bar area at the back too; assuming it's for the live performances they tend to have on weekends. They have a lot of decorative elements! The white shelves and cute light bulbs; kind of gives the place a very modern edge. And I kind of like how they exposed the ceiling; it goes well with everything.

This was the private space that my family and I sat nearby to. This space is for functions like birthdays and etc; you can make reservations for big pax and book this space!

Here's are the desserts! By this time, I was already eyeing the pavlova! Looks so yummy!

Here's a peek into the menu. Food is a tad pricey but I can't complain cause most of the food are delicious! Haha. This restaurant is obviously a special-occasion type of place.

I ordered the Pappardelle with meatballs (RM38) and a pot of hot mango tea. It was VERY filling; I felt bad that I couldn't finish everything! But I forced myself to engulf all the meatballs. Incredible portion for you big eaters out there! The mango tea; nothing to complain about. They provide honey for a healthier alternative to sugar, if you're interested! :)

As for dessert, we ordered a slice of pavlova (mixed berries meringue cake) and a slice of this very rich chocolate cake. I like the pavlova more because personally, refreshing cakes are the BEST. But the chocolate cake was also pretty delicious though it's quite a mouthful! For you chocolate lovers, this is the cake for you! It's not too sweet either so you won't feel sick of the taste while eating it.

Overall, our experience in Alexis was good. The service was great, ambiance was pretty nice to; I would say a nice place for you to dress up for dinner because people who eat there seem very snazzy and stylish (it IS Bangsar after all), and the food was satisfying! I especially loved the desserts! They were definitely the highlights of the night!

Italian food is one of my favourite things to eat to date! I can't live without my pasta. While having a nice shopping day in Paradigm with my friends, I noticed this fancy looking restaurant at the outdoor courtyard of the mall. It immediately attracted me! So we decided to have pasta for dinner! And I can safely say that I was very impressed by how delicious the food was.

View from the outside! There are seats outside for those who prefer the less cold air-conditioned air. Comfy cushioned seats for you!

Timber pallets and exposed light bulbs every where!

View from my seat. The left is the bar counter! They serve cocktails here too. I have yet to give the drinks a go!

View from my seat. Stone cladding wall finish as the feature wall! Compliments the whole colour scheme of the restaurant doesn't it? 

Here's a peak at the menu! This is the pasta section, divided into 3 parts; Olive Oil/Clear Sauce, Tomato Sauce and Cream Sauce.

I ordered the Pasta Con Bestica and an Iced Lemon Mint Tea drink. The pasta was SO DELICIOUS and SO FILLING. RM25 is worth it for that plate of food! It was so tasty that I'm salivating just typing about it right now. The drink is alright. It tastes like lemon tea with a lot of mint in it - a bit like drinking toothpaste (haha). But it's pretty refreshing after a hardy meal!

Friend ordered Alla Carretiera (RM24) which was also very very good. The mixture of tuna, garlic, beef bacon; just everything in this pasta dish was so sublime! Next time, I will order this dish! Even though my dish was delicious too.

Another friends ordered the Smoked Duck Aglio Olio and this was also so very delicious! The duck was cooked well, not too oily nor too fatty, the angel hair pasta was smooth and the fried garlic is a super nice garnish to complete the dish! This one is the priciest though, assuming cause there is duck in it (RM29) but it was worth the cost!

I love this restaurant so much! I will definitely go back to try other dishes! I feel like I will be here very often! Though it is a little pricey, I think you will definitely get you money's worth!

BACI ITALIAN CAFE

BACI ITALIAN CAFE

BACI in Italian means "kisses", so I would assume that the restaurant name is called "Kisses Italiana Cafe" (haha). Anyway, this restaurant is located in Citta Mall, next to +wondermilk. I like this restaurant somehow! It's very low profile but they cook and serve really good food! I managed to drop by for a short lunch only though. Will definitely go back to try more dishes! 

When you enter, you immediately see the cashier on the right where you order you food and drinks, the display of pizza, bread and desserts in the middle and on the left, the seating area.

The menu is written on chalk board for you but if you prefer, they have actual menus at the cashier too.

After ordering, you wait for your drinks to be made and pick them up at the station next to the cashier, and off you go to your table.

View from my seat! Looks like a peaceful place to eat doesn't it? I really like this restaurant.

On this short lunch, I managed to try the Roast Chicken with Herd and Cilantro Pesto. This was half a chicken, as I was sharing with my BFF (it was about RM20 or so). It was REALLY GOOD! I really liked the wedges that came with it too. Delicious! But the salad was a little bland. Basically just eating leaves. 

DETAILS :

Another restaurant that successfully pulled off the white wall. They kept it minimal with just a Coffe-o-graphy chart and a simple ornament. The wall texture makes everything look better too!

Will definitely go for a second visit! To try out the pasta and pizza next! While trying the roast chicken, I could smell the freshly baked pizza from where I was sitting! The waiters served it to the family sitting nearby my table and they gobbled it all up! I CAN IMAGINE HOW DELICIOUS IT IS.
