Still drooling…

Eric's colleague once complained of a ristorante in Bangsar that served polite portions in oversized porcelain plates.
'So expensive, yet so little… the last time I brought my girlfriend there we had to hunt for a mamak stall after the meal just to make sure my stomach is filled,' Eric quoted his friend over wine and dine last night, as we enjoyed our early Valentine's celebration (and attempt to beat the Wednesday-to-come crowd).
'You think leh?' I asked.
'Better than Prego (Westin)… now THAT'S what I call polite…'
'How so?'
'They're so kind, the pasta servings came in two-mouthfuls… and supremely overpriced…'
'And this place leh?'
'Well, it's actually QUITE reasonable, plus the bread we had, that's filling enough…'
…
Anyway, I think Vincenzo still serves the best Canadian Cod in town. And the slab above is 'just nice', plus the environment makes the place worth going for seconds, and thirds.
With typical Bangsar prices, I'd still call this my favourite business lunch outlet, and the next time I visit the restaurant, I'll still stick to ordering my slab of cod. IT'S THAT GOOD…
