Lunch at Italiannies

I love Italian food :)

There's no shortage of Italian restaurants here and one of them is Italiannies. Affiliated with TGI Friday's, this restaurant has a nice selection of traditional and modern Italian cuisine at fairly affordable prices.








Before watching Toy Story 3 and The A-Team today, we had lunch at Italiannies at The Curve. I've had these dishes before and I had them again today! As an appetizer, we have Stuffed Mushrooms. These were medium-sized button mushrooms (probably Swiss brown mushrooms) stuffed with chicken sausage, herbs, and cheeses, then baked and topped with a tomato-based sauce. The dish is served with a rich cream cheese sauce. Probably not very healthy, but it is really really good. The stuffing had a rich salty flavour and the sauces went nicely with the mushrooms.



The second appetizer was a bowl Marsala Mushroom Soup. It's a fairly light soup with strong mushroom taste and not really much taste of the Marsala (a wine apparently). Nice soup and not too filling so it's a good appetizer or side dish (available in a smaller cup).



On to the main courses!
The first main course was Grilled Chicken Milanese. It consisted of grilled chicken breasts topped with diced tomatoes and served with a cream sauce and stewed spinach. All the ingredients went very well together and the chicken was tender and tasty.



The second main course was Classic Carbonara pasta. I order this almost every time I go to this place. The dish is a simple pasta of fetuccine with carbonara sauce with bacon bits for added bite. This pasta looks innocent enough but it's very rich and filling (be wary of ordering the large portion). It's also very pleasant to the palate :)



As usual, I had the ice lemon tea with free refills (which the staff refilled with vigour). My dining partner had a Strawberry Fruit Shake. Although it wasn't really a shake (finely crushed ice with what I believe is some sort of strawberry syrup), it was pretty good.

Around RM100 for two persons. On par with other similar joints I should think.

And that's my food posting for this week.
Happy eating!
