Pasta Zanmai Restaurant Review

Pasta Zanmai Restaurant Review

It was a balmy friday evening, my friends and I decided to have lunch at Sunway Pyramid near our college. After attending all the classes, everyone was tired and starved. Rachel suggested that we go to Pasta Zanmai restaurant.We all have never been there before including Rachel. I felt that this restaurant is quite unique because of the potpourri of Western and Japanese cuisine.It is hard to imagine pasta which is associated to Italian food can blend with the Japanese culture.

Fortunately,there was no long queue when we arrived at the restaurant.The dimly lit interior of the restaurant with stylish glittering lamps was a perfect pairing.It utilised mirrors wisely to create a sense of space while pictures with delicious looking dishes on the wall made our mouths water.It also has a transparent kitchen that allowed patrons to watch the chefs displaying their culinary skills.The restaurant was generally clean and cosy.

We ordered two pots of hot green tea which costs RM3 each. The menu has a variety of choices in food but we preferred the mini pasta set meal. This is because it is more economical and actually the size of the mini set meal was quite large.We ordered 2 set meals and one dessert of biscuits and ice cream. 

The first dish served was the mini Tori Karaage Garlic Rice. It came with fried chicken with the garlic rice cooked to a nice colour and aroma that further stimulated our appetite.The mini fried chicken was crispy but tender and moist inside.The rice has a strong fragrance of garlic and tastes delicious.We just wanted more!

After that, the waiter served the Mini Chicken Onsen Tamago Pizza.Its presentation is exquisite and looks appetising.Its thin crusted surface was sprinkled with spring onions and topped with grilled chicken and seaweeds.It also contained a half-boiled egg yolk inside that burst and spilled over when we cut through it.The mini pizza was savoury but it was a challenge trying to divide it into little slices for the five of us.

The set meal also consist of the Mini Kaki Kimuchi Pasta.The pasta was cooked just right and tasted delicious as it was well mingled into the soup.There were some oysters inside the pasta that really made us craving for more! 

The last dish was the Mini Ebi Ika No Spicy Pasta.The squids and prawns were fresh and the pasta was delectable. It was not too spicy living up to its name of "no spicy pasta".

Lastly, my favourite--dessert was finally served.The dessert we ordered was Itachoco Monoka which costs RM8 .It was biscuits with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate fillings in the middle.It looked tempting and attractive. Sweet chocolates with smooth vanilla flavoured ice-cream plus the moist biscuits tasted heavenly.

We really enjoyed our lunch here as the ambience is serene and comfortable. Other diners also reveled in this tranquil atmosphere.The service was a little slow as the waiters seem to be very busy. 

  

The bill inclusive of 10 percent service charge and tax came to RM69.60. It was reasonable and value for money. Opening hours for this restaurant is from 10am to 10pm daily. Furthermore,it is a halal restaurant.It also accepts all major credit cards.
