simply nutritious @ lebuh melaka

it was a quiet Sunday evening and we had 3hours to kill..
without the kids...

the place we were going to was recommended by a friend and i've seen good reviews.

simply nutritious is a small restaurant tucked in one of these old houses in the middle of lebuh melaka. its one of those "lanes" right smack in the middle of town.
blink and you'll probably miss it.

the restaurant specializes in spaghetti and i love spaghetti, so it was win-win from the start.

the menu is pretty simple actually.
its got a variety "mains" made up of meats and fish in the different preparation styles.
then they have 4 varieties of spaghetti to serve with the "mains"

1. pesto
2. tomato concasse
3. spinach/mushroom/wolf berry
4. mushroom cheese

it was pretty early for dinner at 630pm so we were served pretty fast.

the first to come was the drinks, my "orange juice" and her "cucumber and sourplum juice"

her drink was definitely more adventurous than mine and it tasted pretty good actually.

and the orange tasted like orange. :-)

the mushroom soup, which tasted quite good. served in a weird but cool bowl.

my teriyaki fish with pesto spaghetti.
the spaghetti was perfectly "al dente" and the pesto was one of the better ones that i've tasted.

the spaghetti was very nicely coated with the pesto and sprinkled with cheese..
and i didn't even have to sprinkle pepper on it.

the fish was fresh, which to me is the most important factor and as you can see the fish "steak" itself is huge.
also the teriyaki part was nicely executed as well.
as my friend would say, "very flavorful"

so in summary..

she had the mushrom soup which both of us found very nice.

i ordered the teriyaki fish with excellent pesto spaghetti

1 orange juice

1 cucumber sourplum

how much do you think that cost?

~MYR26 only.

overall 9/10
i only wished i could've tasted the other spaghetti's.
we're definitely coming back here.

delicious @ straits quay

It was our anniversary and we wanted to try something new.

We've always gone to that ribs place or that friday place or that seafood place.

So when we heard there was a new restaurant in straits quay called "delicious", we just had to try it.

"delicious" has a nice selections of soups, pies, mains ,pastas, appetizers, sandwiches and really cool desserts.

Aiyah, see for yourself laah : http://www.delicious.com.my/#menu

Seriously tough choice for me as there were a lot of things i wanted to order

I finally chose the pan seared salmon and elpea took the marscarpone pesto chicken

Mascarpone Pesto Chicken served with Fried Potatoes & Asparagus	RM39.90
Pan-seared Crispy Skin Salmon served with Coriander Relish, Asparagus & Fried Potatoes RM39.90

The drinks came first, of course.

Elpea took the frosty guava+sour plum and i had the frosty lime+lychee.

Both drinks had really unique tastes. seriously unique.

But they were definitely refreshing on a scorching hot day.

Service was pretty fast as the mains came not even 10mins later.

My salmon was well cooked and tender and as the name says, it had a nice crispy skin.

And it was a really big piece of salmon. i loved the coriander relish.

The fried potatoes and asparagus were a nice accompaniment as well. The potatoes were not too oily and the asparagus still had that "crunch".

The mascarpone chicken was quite good as well. The Pesto sauce went well with the chicken but the portion was too huge for elpea.

Dessert was a really hard choice.

And elpea did not want me to pick something that she had already made.

so, i finally picked the banofee pie.

banana + toffee in a pie.

how can you go wrong?

the crust was excellent.

cross section :-)

desserts.....

and more desserts.

The ambiance was very nice and cosy though i don't think i would take the kids there for dinner.

Lunch , maybe.

They also have dining tables outside but during lunchtime, i do not recommend it as it gets pretty hot during noon time.

though i must say it was pretty cold inside the restaurant.

i really like that they have a few dedicated couches for those who are having dessert or tea only.

Going back?

Definitely 100% yes.
