Pasta Zanmai @ X'mas Eve

Finally we had decided to have our X'mas Eve dinner at Pasta Zanmai. Once seated we quickly browsed through the menu as both of us was quite hungry at that time and it's already 9.30pm. So we ordered hot green tea to warm up our tummy first.

After browsing through the menu for some time, Romiko had decided to tried out their Beef Curry Rice. It's actually sliced beef saute in curry sauce and Japanese rice. As usual, the scent of the curry was really strong and nice. But don't expect it to be spicy though. Portion was moderate but since it's served with Japanese rice, it's really filling. The set come with a salad and also misou soup (RM26/set).

For me, as I am a creme lover, had ordered their Toriniku to Kinoko no Cream Sauce or Chicken & Japanese Mushroom in Cream Sauce Pasta. This was really a nice set. For once it's not too creamy and thick. Portion was large, chicken was fried till the outer later was crispy when you sink your teeth into it. Mushroom was plenty and pasta was just nice, not too hard and not to soft. (RM23/set)

Last but not least, I am tempted to try out another type of their pizzas. So I had ordered the Hotate to Kinoko no Mentaimayo Pizza or Grilled Scallop & Mushroom with spicy cod fish roe and mayonnaise pizza. My girl like scallop, we both like mushroom and I am a mayo lover. It's a combination made for us. And in reality the dish didn't disappoint us a bit. It was really delicious with the large size of the scallop on each slices. I must come back for more for this.

Looked at the time and it's already close to 11pm. The restaurant had their last call around 9.30pm and closed at 10pm. But since there were still customers, they obliged to served till the last. Service was great although the place was pack and we managed to get seated at the round table at the middle. Finally ~! The whole meal cost around RM85. Not bad for a X'mas Eve dinner at all. Both of us was really full till the extend that we need to have a long walk to digest the whole meal. Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0
