FAVOLA- HOME OF GIANT PIZZA

If I was given a choice, I’d say size does matter…when it comes to Pizza. A regular size of goodness is insufficient to satisfy my humongous, constant cravings. God must have heard my plight and decided to send me a pleasant Italian restaurant in Le Meridian Kuala Lumpur that manages to satisfy my pangs for Italian delicacy.

Favola is one of a kind that serves the finest Italian dish in Kuala Lumpur. The name Favola indicates Fable in Italian. The walls are adorned with grandeur, mystical masks that take you on a stroll to a part of Renaissance century. Being completely baffled by the beauty of the restaurant, I can’t wait to taste the much anticipated gargantuan pizza that has been a talk of the town lately.

We were hit with the fragrance of hot bread once we settled down, and it tastes absolutely delicious! This is a must try in Favola, and make sure you don’t miss it. I began to swallow my saliva’s with my built up anticipation and I must say that my anticipation has been served well, really well. The entrance of Favola pizza was so glorious, leaving me breathless with sight of its size as well as the magnanimous toppings! This was indeed the finest pizza that I have ever seen! Without further ado, my friends and I started to help ourselves with the large servings. Each mouthful was absolutely blissful; each bite was a delightful surprise. Our pizza measuring 50cm in diameter and is split to three different flavors, namely Venetian seafood (lobster, scallop and prawn), Manzo (salami, pepperoni and lamb sausage) and Vegetariano (mushrooms and assorted vegetables). To add on a kick of gastrorgasmic fest, gooey cheese is stuffed into the crust. Mm.. Mamamia! I enjoyed every bite of my scrumptious pizza, every last one.

To end the night with style, don’t forget to try one of Chef Antoine’s signature desserts- Illy Coffee Inspired Tiramisu which is wonderfully sloppy, with chocolate shavings, but pleasantly light and satisfying. Don’t forget to head to Favola at Le’ Meridian to enjoy the mighty scrumptious pizza and other tasty food yourself today!

Unusual Moon Cake

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! The best part of being a Malaysian is you get to celebrate every single festival no matter you belong to which ethnicity! Since it’s the mid-autumn festival today, I am going to share some unusual (virtual) moon cakes that you can get in Kuala Lumpur! So, shall we?

In The Westin Kuala Lumpur, you can get Red Tea Coffee Black Raisin, exactly like the beverage version of CHAM, mixed beverage of tea and coffee. A perfect blend of both that delivers a light and fragrant taste. Unique? Yes. Second bite? No thanks.

This is a personal favorite of mine. Mini snowskin chocolate with Dulce de Leche praline, almond and hazelnut. What a long name! This intensely dark chocolate is mixed with espresso. Well, this is the type of moon cake which you either love it or hate it. The caramel overwhelms the bitterness and can be taste slightly. Otherwise, the snowskin is some of the smoothest to slice through, and gives you a soft, tender bite. If you are a fan, head over to Shangri-La hotel Kuala Lumpur now!

Another favorite of mine is from Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, White chocolate with lychee filling and chocolate caviar. The white chocolate skin is pretty hard and will only break with a hard crack of a spoon, but once the shell is break open, the dark chocolate filling is creamy, and oozed out like a truffle. You can taste a tinge of lychee in the middle of the chocolate; however it’s the chocolate that shines! Complete yummers!

Next moon cake comes with bright yellow color; this one will make the perfect gift! These petite sized moon cakes are called as Mini snowskin with passion fruit cheesecake from Prince hotel. As you sink your teeth into these cute little moon cakes, the passion fruit comes as shocking but once you find the cheese, the blend of sweet and savory gives the moon cake a sweet balance.

One of the prettiest moon cakes that I have seen this year. Moët & Chandon Rosé Imperial Champagne Mini Ping Pei from The Ritz Carlton Hotel. A super sweet filling of lotus is nicely wrapped in soft snowskin. The rose taste is very light but gives a nice sour edge to the moon cake.

Woah, that’s a whole lot of choice! Where would you be buying your moon cake from this year? No matter where you will be buying your moon cake, remember to share it around with your friend, kick back and relax by enjoying the glamorous full moon tonight. After all, that’s the core reason the festival is all about. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival all!
