Jom Makan! Salmon Cappanelli @ eToile Bistro, Equatorial Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. (February 2012)



Assalamualaikum Readers,


Today I was scheduled to serve a function / night make-up on a client at Equatorial Hotel, Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL. Since she was still at Bukit Bintang to do some last minute shopping, it was just perfect for me to have my late lunch. My family and I we always eat at Nipah Coffeehouse since I was a kid because the buffet are delicious and my father really likes the warm hospitality of the staff here, thus I intended to order some local delicacy there.


However I was greeted with a closed for public Nipah since it was the location for a 2 year old birthday party there. I saw this tall, beautiful woman smiled warmly at me and walked towards me. I quickly approached the Manager and asked for the venue for me to dine since Nipah was closed for me. The Manager brought me to the upper level and informed me that Nipah held a private event for Johan Raja Lawak's son's birthday party. Oh so the woman who approached me was his wife Ozlynn Wati! I really like to watch them on the cheesy yet fun Jejaka J series on Astro Prima. Both of them are real whackos. =D Then I was starstruck to see Johan walking towards Nipah with his retro looking Jeans and Shirt with Big Afro hair. Oh I really hope he will win this upcoming Anugerah Bintang Paling Popular because he is so funny and entertaining. =)


Oh yes, so coming back to my grumbling tummy, the Manager led me to a bistro which he said sells Western especially Italian food.



Welcome to eToile Bistro. Please do not add a T at the end of the name. =D


Cosy decor with sunlight coming through. Yes I just ordered iced water to quench my thirst and definitely to save. =D







They specialized on Pizzas.



Obviously selling mostly Italian dishes.



Most of the dishes in the menu cost RM 20 to 30 above and I was getting hungrier by the minute looking at the selection of Pasta such as Meatballs with Spaghetti,  Spaghetti Formaggio, Shrimp Scampi and Clams and Cappellini even Spaghetti Seafood Tom Yam to name a few.


I made my order (most of the staff are Filipinos, very warm and friendly) and yes I was literally famished by then. Was expecting for the best obviously since the name and the description was so good.


And here came my order. 




Salmon Cappellini. RM 35
Sauteed fresh salmon with spinach, olive oil and herbs.

The colours, the aroma, really made me happy already.






I tell you, this dish came hot from the wok and MASHA ALLAH IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELISH! The chunks of salmon covering the Angel Hair spaghetti were so fresh, tender, juicy and generous.  And of course we know salmon is rich with Omega 3 Fatty Acids which is good for the heart. The tomatoes and spinach were drenched with healthy and yummy olive oil (all 3 ingredients are awesome for beautiful skin and youthfulness). Sprinkled with Cheese and caramelized onions. It was a brilliant dish! Compliments to the Chef! I don't think it's hard to cook this but anyway I was glad I was the only customer inside (most were outside) so I could look as ugly as possible enjoying my meal. =D


So yes people, seriously, this is an order you will not regret.

So yes, inclusive of Government Tax and Service Charge, total damage was about RM 40 but I was happy because I loveeeeee what I ate. =)



Ah yes, since it is a bistro, you may order lovely (insha Allah great tasting) cakes here too.


I was attracted with a variety of Cheese Sticks offered.






The bread and doughnuts look good too.




After leaving some minimal tip, I left eToile Bistro with a satisfied grin, now to satisfy my customer with awesome make-up service insha Allah. =)


Thanks for reading! =)

XOXO,
Sue
