Monte's, Sunway Pyramid

This is the 2nd post, after the one on Dragon-i where the 2 tastebuddies of this site reunite for some food :)

At 9.15pm, after some hardcore gym session, stomach rumbling, feet sore, thighs wobbly, throat sore we hurried to the floor plan of sunway pyramid.

Hmmm.. what to eat? Sushi Groove?

Voon: Eeeh dont want, I did some research from several flogs, more negative comment compared to positive.

O' Viet? Nahh not in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine. After what seem like centuries of a series of heated debate and argument (ok, i'm exaggerating, so what) we decided to dine at

MONTE'S!


So we start our journey to hunt for this restaurant, we thought we were bright enough to navigate ourselves to the destination, but apparently not, because we travelled all around the whole world(from old wing to new wing and back to old wing) and only found the place in the end after asking for some directions from the guards.

It's actually pretty easy to find if u start from Kim Gary Restaurant, just next to it!

But then u see, the feng shui and weather wasnt exactly good that day, thus the humidity in the shopping complex was complicated and somehow u know la, we were affected and became blur...
but hey not our fault ok! we're still smart people :)

The cosy section :) gives some kinda romantic feel to it

But the songs they were playing, spoiler la, they were playing clubbing music okay... =.=
play some love songs or lounge music la.. to suit the ambience right.

Empty.... I think its due to their hidden location and also it was on a Monday night.

Shiny yummy buns

MmmmMmmMmmMmm.. I just can't get enough of these buns especially those hot steaming soft buns with icy cold salted butter! :) i can just sit down and order few servings of this and who needs a main course?!

Yes, just a simple dish like this can do me good, real good :)



Garlic Bread, rm1.20/pc

It's superb their garlic bread! It's topped with garlic and also cheese, the cheesy flavour just completes the garlic bread... such a good combination, altho it was a tad too oily but still good. Gobsmackingly delicious baby! But for non cheese lovers i dont think you'd like this.

Potato Salad

This potato salad is part of Grilled Halibut(a type of fish) set. It's really worth it, at RM 33.90 you can get:

• -appetiser (potato salad or pumpkin soup

• -main course (rib eye or grilled halibut)

• -coffee or tea

• -dessert (banana fritters with ice cream)

Grilled Halibut

Tastes good although it was abit too oily. The dip they gave for this fish goes really well with the dish! However, the sides that came along with this dish was pretty fresh, the vege still crunchy and the roasted tomatoes tastes good!

Spicy Salmon, RM 31.90

At first when i read the menu spicy salmon sauce, I thought maybe it'll be made spicy with pepper or something made from chili padis. But the dish that came was completely not what i expected, the spicy sauce on the salmon was actually curry. I never knew that curry would go well with salmons! As you can see, they serve it with fresh crunchy broccoli, carrots, roasted tomatoes(i love them) and deep fried wedges.

The curry was not bad, not very spicy but still fragrant, salmon tastes good :) and those finely chopped tomatoes on top of the salmon just make things better! It somehow enhances the taste, as if it opened up my tastebuds to be more sensitive to taste of salmon! well in a good way, of course. I find this dish somewhat unique from other styles of cooking salmon.

Banana Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream

As mentioned above, this Banana Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream came with the set.

Although the vanilla ice cream tasted abit odd to me, as if its not just pure vanilla, its very sinfully delicious. Fortunately, the goreng pisang wasnt too oily, with its hot crispy skin and fresh sweet banana filling, topped with some icy cold vanilla cream, it just creates a blast in ur mouth. It's creates some orgasmic Ice Fire effect in your mouth.

This feelings reminds me of eating those fried ice cream from pasar malam. Except that these fritters arent claimed to be carcinogenic(cancer causing substance) like those fried ice creams were.
