Capricciosa

Spicy Raghu

 Lent starts this Wednesday so I thought yesterday evening was a good opportunity to have a nice meal out. Sunway Putra is convenient because its on the way home. Yesterday there were more cars heading the same way so the drive took longer than expected. I blame the rain. It's nearly always the rain which causes slow cars and ultimately a long backlog of cars.

Capricciosa used to have a semi-secret buy-one-ge-one-free deal, it's not advertised anywhere outside the shop nor are you told of this when you order. You know it when you pay and the price is suddenly halved. Very nice surprise and we got to experience it twice. Sadly yesterday the deal ended.

Something else different was spicy Raghu which was a deviation from my usual Granchio. The tomato cause was a little sour. And there wasn't any spiciness. And freely made pasta was nice but because the sauce dominated the dish I didn't like it one bit.

Salmon

 The salmon is a tried and tested menu. It was nice. No complains there.

Tomato soup

The soup came with the spicy Raghu. It looked and tasted like an extension of the sauce so we left it alone and hardly dared touch it. Wasn't worth the calories in my mind. Especially since I'm now no longer feeling like I'm wearing my corset in my current wardrobe. Goes to show, eating less does help you lose weight.

Second Cup

Saturday afternoon coffee time

I had very nice Cafe Miel ( from this shop called Second Cup at Sunway Putra).Apparently it is low of fuss and big on taste. I tasted honey. Not not too sweet which is important to me. I don't like my coffee sweet. It makes the caffeine kick less. At least to me. This was certainly an improvement on last week's vanilla latte which was sickeningly sweet and a struggle to finish up. Same shop different coffee.

So here are the ingredients: coffee, milk, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg. I missed the vanilla cinnamon and nutmeg taste. As I'm no coffee gourmet I'm not going to beat myself up over it.

A good deal

Granchio

 If you are a pasta fan you should have it here. A friend introduced me to this place years back. The branch we ate in has since closed down. I wonder why, maybe the rent increased. It can't be because of the food as this place serves pretty good pasta and pizza.  I usually only eat Granchio here. Granchio means crab in Italian. It's minced crab meat in tomato sauce with a garlic infused smell coating every strand of pasta. How can you resist?

A seat with a view

The new branch I frequent is at Sunway Putra Mall. Previously known simply as The Mall. If you don't know this already, The Mall underwent a major overhaul after being bought over and apart from the infrastructure everything else has been upgraded. It's been give a facelift new floors, new escalators and new selection of shops.

And two weeks ago, we had a meal here and found a super deal which wasn't advertised. Buy one meal and get another free. So if you're in the mood for pasta ( some home made with a selection of different sauces ), pop in and tell me what you think.

Here's my review:
Price: bordering on the expensive end. Unless you catch the buy one get one free deal.
Service: Good
Taste: super
