Favola @ Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur

The cravings for Italian drops by again and dining at Favola comes pretty fruitful when utilizing the privilege from Starwood 🙂

Favola
That carries the meaning of fable in Italian, matched its settings as they brought a rustic Italian setting enabling diners experience the decorative inanimate objects like different Venetian masks adorning the wall as we walk through. We love the environment; comfortable bloody red chairs that fired up the area, with ancient Italian murals that creates the romantic ambiance. We could order their Italian Appetizers (Antipasti) from their Crudo Bar, an area where patrons can get to enjoy their favourite cuppa of caffeine fix & some delicious nibbles.

Venetian – RM55
Pizza with lobster, scallops, prawns, calamari and clams

Risotto

Secondi
Passable secondi that was just so-so we thought as they were weighed down with lotsa tomato based flavours that masked the freshness of the ingredients e.g. the fish. If you’re a huge tomato fan, you’ll probably love it.

BBQ Cod Fish – RM90
Olive oil, basil, capers, pecorino and sun-dried tomato dressing

Pollo alla Cacciatore – RM50
Roasted baby chicken with tomatoes, roasted bell pepper, olive and capers

Nothing beats a good cup of coffee to end the session 🙂

Verdict: Food was and ambiance was great but personal tastebuds reminded us that Villa Danieli @ Sheraton Imperial still aced it 🙂
