So it was the weekend, what else, time to go out relax and enjoy. Well I had a date...ahemmm well not that "date" you might be thinking. I had a date to hangout with Megumi and Allen haha. Was excited to meet them up at Gurney Paragon Mall, the latest and happening Mall in Penang @ Pearl of the Orient. The mall opened it's doors on the 23 July 2013 being a mall which is unique in its own way as you will find modern with a historical 89 year old colonial architecture building, known as St. Jo's. Now isn't that something interesting. There is so much to be found and so many things to be done there, dining, shopping, beauty, entertainment, health and the list goes on.
For our first spot, well what else if it isn't food. We are hungry people haha. So Lunarich was our gathering spot. Did you actually know that Lunarich comes from Korea? Well if you did not, now you and I do :) They have more than 70 outlets in Korea and currently in Malaysia, there are 2 outlets in Penang, 1 as you now know in Gurney Paragon Mall while the other is located at One Precinct. People of KL, good news for you, Lunarich will be expending to KL. Nice!
A quote saying " Lunarich is slow food, slow life,
Lunarich wish for your health, and happiness enjoy fresh italy pizza
Now this is where the fresh hand tossed pizzas are made.
Time to see what awaits us behind this cover :)
Raspberry Caramel Yoghurt Smoothie
Though it sounds complicated, so many ingredients, but trust me, the blend of all the ingredients taste great. The berri-ness from the raspberry and the sweet caramel flavor and aroma give the smoothie a nice flavour.
Crispy Bacon Mango Salad
Now it does not only look good but taste nice too. A variety mix of greens n vege mixed with diced mango topped with really crispy crunchy bacon. Tossed with special Yuzu dressing.
Pizza time! Nothing like their signature popular hand tossed, Bismarck it is. So what makes this popular item? Tomato sauce base topped with mozarella cheese, pepperoncino, chili flakes, bacon, onion ring and egg.
The flour that is being used comes from Italy even the fire pot (oven) which is used to bake the pizza comes from Italy.
I feel like I am already in Italy now ^^
Seafood Platter
A serving of deep fried prawns, squid and soft shell crab in a slight peppery end taste. It even taste good on its own or you could have it with the sauce that is served with.
Spaghetti Al Nero Di Seppia
Now squid ink in cooking? That's so unheard of. Well yes this spaghetti is cooked in squid ink sauce. How interesting. The dish is made out of arugula/rocket, flying fish roe, fresh squid and cuttlefish cooked in squid ink sauce. Initially I thought it will taste weird but guess what? It tasted nice. The sauce tasted creamy. This is one unique item you will have to try. I heard they are good with their Carbonara too.
Pork Steak
The pork was tender, just found that the dish was a little more on a sweet side. The pineapple balances the taste though.
Dessert Time !!!
Chocolate Lava
Now chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. One word. HEAVENLY.
Could I have more please *wink wink*
