Pizza Brava @ Asia Cafe

The set up of this "stall" in the food court immeduately caught my attention. The deco is inspired by the Italian theme. The one thing that caught me attention most is the brick oven which is used to cook their pizzas.There are quite a number of varities of pizza and pasta...



I ordered the turkey ham pizza.(RM 16)
The crust is thin and smells quite good


Look at the cheese, they are really serious about their ingredients, not only using the plain cheddar cheese like many mamaks do....
Pros: Thin crust, real mozarella & parmesan cheese

Cons: Priced at the high side, and crust though thin, quite normal....

Result: 5/10

Pasta Mania @ The Pavilion

Since its the Malaysian Mega Sale season, i went to Isetan@Bukit Bintang to hunt for good bargains for clothings. However, ended up in The Pavillion after hours of shopping spree. However, the result of hours of shopping almost burnt a hole in my wallet. Hence, the search for affordable food at The Pavillion Food Center came naturally.

Saw this Restaurant a year ago, but didnt step in till NOW....
The decoration seems pretty decent and not too fancy.


PastaMania, they do hav take out orders which gives a pretty good bang for your bucks..However, the take out sets are not available for Dine-In patrons..

This is considered a set, and costs RM 5.90-includes a beverage(soft drink/lemon tea) and the soup of the day.


This Chicken soup seems normal when its served, but the first taste left a significant impact to my taste buds...It practically consist the taste of chicken soup + cheese in it, with a healthy serving of tender chicken slices...YUMMY

Baked Pasta in Cheese, Specialty Cream and Vegetables (RM 8.90)
This tasted not bad though, but is not on par with Pasta De Gohan. It would taste better without the vegetables in it, which also enables them to save the additional costs too.

Pro: Priced pretty decent at such a prime location, good bargains(only on weekdays), and student gets 30% discount(also on weekdays)

Cons: Customer service is average, the baked pasta with cheese can do without Vegetables(feels very strange) haha...

Conclusion: 6.8/10

Pasta De Gohan (Sunway Pyramid)

The name Gohan reminds me of the son of Son Goku from the Mutiara Naga (BM version of Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama). Hence, its kinda weird to relate it to pasta...coz when i see the name, Kame Hame Ha and Gelombang Jiwa comes into my mind...haha

However, decided to try it after passing by so many times while shopping at Sunway Pyramid..

I expected to be pay a premium for the pastas there when i step into the restaurant...
However, to my suprise...theres actually discount for meal sets up to 30%-50%(only applicable in the afternoon if im not mistaken)...and it was a darn good deal..

So, i proceeded to the orders and found out that items listed in the menu are quite unique from the conventional italian pastas...this is kinda like a hybrid of pasta with an ummph of japanese influence since its named after Son Goku's son...



Fish Roe with Potato baked in cheese




Chesse Pasta with Grilled Pork Strips



Pasta pan fried with mini chicken cutlets


Overall, it was quite satisfying especially the super rich cheese they used in the baked dishes

However, the richness of the cheese has overpowered other natural taste that should complement each other on the platter...

Rating 6/10
