We were seated at the enclosed room inside Alessio which has the portrait of Marilyn Monroe printed on cushion. Very eye-catching colour tone of red and yellow at the bar.
Nasi Lemak IstimewaCoconut flavoured rice with a scent of pandan accompanied with a whole leg chicken rendang, chili paste, peanut, anchovies & cucumber topped with a sunny side up Everything done right to complement each other on this plate of Malaysia symbolic dish, but rendang chicken excels with its tender texture.
Apricot & Chestnut Chicken InvoltiniChicken involtini with apricot, chestnut & smoke duck bacon served with arugula salad & toasted focacciaAs Involtini means rolls in Italian, it implies a small bite of food consisting outer layer wrapped around the filling. Its complicated process paid off as I indulge in sequence like how one door leads to another: crisp layer of chicken skin, to soft and cushion layer of fat, to firm chicken meat, and finally to smoke duck bacon with apricot & chestnut.
Spaghetti Vongole Spaghetti tossed in virgin olive oil, basil, garlic butter & clams dripped with Alessio's house basil & mint sauceDistinct from those with sauces, it forefronts the simple flavors of Alessio house basil & mint sauce on Vongole (clams in Italian) and good quality olive oil on al-dente spaghetti.
Grilled Aubergine & Mushroom BruscettaGrilled marinara aubergine on Alessio's house focaccia bread and fresh button mushroom baked with cheddar & mozarella on Alessio country wholemeal breadAn appetizer combination made specially for KL restaurant week in getting the best of both worlds: Grilled Aubergine Brucetta and Mushroom Bruscetta.
Grilled Norwegian SalmonGrilled deep sea Norwegian Salmon on a bed of creamy mashed potato served with coral & rucola salad, garlic butter focaccia & fresh mango sauceGrill salmon might be of no challenge but it takes master to have crispy skin. Mango sauce comes in great with its tinge of freshness.
Crème BruleeFresh vanilla crème brulee with caramelize raw sugar touchRich custard base topped with right amount of sugar as contrasting layer of hard caramel and served in ramekin.
Overall it was a pleasant dining experience at Alessio with affordable price.
