I wondered if I had a bad experience but I see from your 'bruschetta' pic that it comprised the same stale piece of supermarket bread that I had.<BR/><BR/>Any italian rest that does not produce a selection of fresh warm breads as you sit down is a failure.<BR/><BR/>Goes to show though that these places survivev because guys like you treat the food as a photographic subject, not a work of culinary art and you'd rather have quantity than quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27011066.post-47163512062193618742008-12-24T10:45:00.000+08:002008-12-24T10:45:00.000+08:00mimid3vils: i'm sure they do..it's like a ...mimid3vils: i'm sure they do..it's like a deep bowl dish, very solid actually.<BR/><BR/>backstreetGluttons: alas, i am lost at your direction of this long ago place. when canai & such was around, i was still a college kid, italian was considered a luxury then.. so never tried :(schttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054158641858408952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27011066.post-19641785444134626322008-12-21T11:10:00.000+08:002008-12-21T11:10:00.000+08:00our best all-time memorable Italiano Dinneria ( er...our best all-time memorable Italiano Dinneria ( errr so-called la ) was a small piece of crusty pizza each and 1 bottle ( each ) of Italian red wine ( dunno from where nor name )served by a sweet Malay girl ( forgot name also )<BR/><BR/>beautiful red high heaven !<BR/><BR/>last time near Sunway Hotel, Sunway opposite Suchi Canai beside the African Elephants , now where have they all gone ah ?backStreetGluttonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460576943361174364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27011066.post-81365721073096861242008-12-20T20:53:00.000+08:002008-12-20T20:53:00.000+08:00I wonder will they re-use the seashell? :PI wonder will they re-use the seashell? :Pchoi yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012941424990096652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27011066.post-25118766948987121622008-12-20T01:46:00.000+08:002008-12-20T01:46:00.000+08:00lyrical lemongrass: aww, so sweet of you to say th...lyrical lemongrass: aww, so sweet of you to say that :). but i must say, J2kfm did a way better coverage of HK compared to mine..mine's too focused on central.<BR/><BR/>selba: we paid about RM130 per person... <BR/><BR/>j2kfm: this is my repeated trip already, and yes, hence have the luxury to try other cuisine :).. oh yeah, the company's excellent!<BR/><BR/>kampungboycitygal: hahaha, just so much seafood!<BR/><BR/>allie: yes, the mantis prawns were small though, looks like bugs actually :p<BR/><BR/>tummythoz: eating for brekkie, lunch and dinner..for 9 days, so quite a lot to cover ma :)<BR/><BR/>joe: soon, soon..i'm wrapping it up ;). yes, u did mentioned 4 days..just choose what you feel like trying lor :p<BR/><BR/>SF: of course i'm not disappointed! i like freshness of the ingredients. reminds me of those i had in italy. basic, but tasty. thanks gal for recommending!schttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054158641858408952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27011066.post-86728995837678948132008-12-19T17:17:00.000+08:002008-12-19T17:17:00.000+08:00Yay!!
