Monte's at Bangsar Shopping Centre (Round 1)

Dad came home from Beijing. Mum and I picked him from KLIA and headed to Bangsar Shopping Centre because dad had a meeting at House & Co.

While dad was in the meeting, mum introduced me to a restaurant called Monte at BSC.

The ambience was nice and cozy. Tables and chairs set all around the restaurant with a divider filled with green plants at the center of the room. The place was packed. Since we were walk-in customers, the hostess gave us a choice of only three tables to choose from, as the other tables were either occupied or reserved. Therefore, as a memo, make reservations before going to Monte's.

The menu had an array of food - Appetizers, Salad, Pasta, Steak, Lamb, Dessert, Light snacks, Combo Meals, & Drinks

After placing our order with the waiter, we were served buns and butter as starters. The buns were warm and soft, igniting my tastebuds making me yearn for more. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask for more because mum recommended trying Monte's garlic bread.

The garlic bread served was golden, crispy brown thanks to the generous portion of garlic spread and it was perfectly baked overall. Using a knife, I sliced the piece into half, and took a bite. The crunchiness was music to my ears, and as the garlic spread settled on the tongue, it was absolute divine.

Next came the Grilled Prawn and Fish Combo. At first, I expected the prawns served to look measly small, wrinkled, like the ones at Manhattan Fish Market. I was also prepared to set my eyes on just a small portion of the grilled combo, as from recent experiences at other western restaurants, Seafood Combo's portion to money's worth ratio was always one-sided.

Kudos to Monte's Combo. The prawns were huge, the fish was delicious and both grilled to perfection. The combo also came with a cheesy tomato gravy and baked potatoes.

The third and final dish was the Spaghetti Vognile. Monte's has other delicious looking pasta/spaghetti too. The sauce was a tangy spicy sour flavour. They also gave a generous amount of mussels.

I'd definitely recommend going to Monte's for a meal. But of course, the price isn't exactly student friendly. Then again, Monte is definitely a better choice than Chilli's (Both r of the same pricing).

The cuisine was western, but the way it was served, the presentation, the contents/ ingredients differ from other western restaurants. In short, Monte's meals were much more satisfying.
