Ante Restaurant, 1 Utama KL

What do you do when the trip is short and no time for shopping? Eat ! So we were at 1 Utama for lunch and we were famished and about to be on our way back to Penang. We insisted that we have to try something good and one that does not exist in Penang and so we walked almost half hour looking for the right one. 

We came across Ante, and it was just perfect. A premier pork steak restaurant.  Although the waiting was quite awhile, we were comfortably seated and relaxed and we were not disappointed. This is by far the best pork based, western style restaurant I've ever been to. 

Nice, quaint, chic layout of the place and their array of wines are bountiful as you can see in the picture.

The first dish that came was Pork Diane, seared pork loin with Russet potatoes, button mushrooms, green pea mash(love it), and white wine cream sauce. Delicious!

Pork Diane - RM 42

Another signature dish is the Chargrilled Pork Steak, which comes also with Russet potatoes and then cherry tomatoes, honey glazed rockets and truffle sauce(love the sauce). Everything was cooked to perfection and I liked the idea that they glazed the rockets with honey as it is usually abit bitter. Delectable!

The Chargrilled Pork Steak - RM52

Here comes the Chinese/Western style spaghetti - Char Siu Curry Cream. That was the most different dish under the pasta group therefore this was picked. This is house made marinated Char Siu with shimeiji mushrooms and grilled eggplants. Excellent!

Char Siu Curry Cream - RM 33

There was one more thing we wanted to try but unfortunately it was not available so we settled for coffee, a prep for a long drive home. The coffee was good with the right amount of milk in my latte. I wasn't so fond of the mocha only but if you like more cocoa than coffee then it might just suit you. I like it more balanced and skewed towards coffee/espresso.

The only marble table I spotted with the chair that I liked. Mmm..

Well Deserved!

3 Leg Cat Cafe, Relau

The story of the name 3 Leg Cat is a memory that is greatly remembered by close friends of the proprietor Ted Soo. As a child, Ted told his friends that he had a three legged cat at home. In actual fact,he doesn't. However, the friends believed he has one for a long time, until one day they found out otherwise when they visited his home. And it's a lingering memory that stayed with the friends till today. A funny story that's brought up in their hang outs conversation. That is why he chose this name as a significance of his childhood.

3 Leg Cat cafe is a cosy, fine place at Golden Triangle, Relau. The food menu will be expanding very soon and as for now, you can enjoy some Western and Asian style cuisine. Try some Shakerato lattes and other coffee delights, the barista is the owner himself Ted. He is also a chef but he lets his trusted chefs handle his kitchen.

Videogamers would love the place as there is a spot specially for gaming. Nice spot for reading books in the afternoon. A little blurred preview in the picture with my mocha Shakerato. 

Of all the food that I have tasted, Special Grill Tennessee Chicken would be my top most likable as the chicken is tender, cooked to perfection indeed. The mash and the sauce complements the chicken very well.

Shakeratos and cappucino

Homemade pastries and cakes

I enjoyed the carbanora as its not too sweet as some, sufficient slices of bacon as well. For some, the portion might be abit small but for me it's just right.

Carbonara

Sweet and spicy combination for those wanting some light snacks. Interesting and delightful taste.

Korean Spicy Chicken

It's texture is similar to carrot cake but this is pineapple flavored, highly recommended!

Hummingbird Cake

Waffles with banana and ice cream
