Favola - Italian restaurant @ Sentral

Kuala Lumpur - Donny and Edward joined me for lunch at the next hotel - Le Meridien Sentral on the 8th floor fine Italian restaurant - FAVOLA.

spread of bread and dips

We were tended to by a patient and good waiter. The bread spread was perfect; crispy on the outside and hot and moist on the inside. I asked him how the restaurant made the bread this way and he explained to me.

Ravioli with slices of truffles

Fresh ink squid pasta

My first time trying ink squid fresh pasta with prawns and pine seeds. It tasted really good.

Fresh vegetables with Italian dressing

Seafood pizza

The seafood pizza was freshly made in firewood oven but not one of the best Pizzas I have tasted. It does not have much flavoring and ingredients on the Pizza. As you can see it is quite bare making the taste of the Pizza a bit bland.

Beef Lasagna

One of the best beef Lasagna I have ever tasted. Well made from rich taste of mozzarella cheese a nice slice of pasta sheet and lots of minced beef. The melted cheese combined with the minced beef was awesome.

The service staff was good and given told me about the UOB card promotion of 50%. It was worth another visit to this restaurant.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded. Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect. I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared. My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup. Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off. I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup. I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
