FYI : No Pizza Here!
Since there are quite a number of western expats in hubby’s company, sometimes they’d cater Italian food for a restaurant in Kuala Belait for their gatherings.
But being a typical Asian when it comes to food, he doesn’t consider dishes like pizza or spaghetti as main meal so he’d usually eat his dinner at home first.
Perhaps if he goes to award winning Italian restaurant with a wider range of authentic Italian dishes, he’d change his mind.
There is a restaurant in La Jolla of San Diego called the Trattoria Acqua which is rated as one of the top ten Italian restaurant in the United States. I think this is one of the few restaurants which publishes their full menu online and it was salivating just to read dishes such as these :
Pollo Picatta - Free-range lightly pounded chicken breast sautéed with lemon, butter, garlic, white wine and capers served with spinach and fonduta whipped potatoes
Cappa Santa alla Damaso - Jumbo Sea scallops and shrimp with our house-made tomato fettuccine pasta, fresh organic corn and a spicy lobster sauce
I think I’m changing my mind about Italian restaurants too. I definitely want to try one of the places when I do go over to California!
