Cotta Hidden Rooftop Cafe at Mont Kiara

Cotta is known for making fresh ricotta everyday. Thus, the name Cotta. Their hearty open face sandwiches are generously spread with fluffy yet luscious ricotta and crunchy greens thats are harvested just seconds from soil. Every plate is wholesome with carefully sourced ingredients.

The cafe also has a cosy environment with plenty of plants accompanying guests. Its not surprising that guests carry better mood because of all the oxygen!

Having dessert in this cafe is a delightful experience too! Smooth latte and a delicious slice of cake in a cozy corner full of flora are all one needs to heal the soul sometimes.

I took the opportunity to try one of their most popular dishes and did not take long to understand why it is the majority's favourite. Who can resist a melting pulled Australian beef on top of a generous bed of ricotta mixed with rich runny yolk. This dish left me quiet to savour every bite.

Nobody can resist a perfectly runny yolk
The Prawn Special RM46. Limited to 10 a day
Limititng this dish to 10 a day makes this dish even special. The freshness of the meaty prawns topped with crunchy ebiko is a sumptuous combo. Extra points for using local Sabah prawns, highlighting the quality of local ingredients.

Tosca's Trattoria Italiana- DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam i-City

 My experience at Tosca Trattoria Italiana was truely a gastonomical delight. Eataly indeed!

Starting with full-bodied mushroom soup and pillowy soft focaccia dipped with preciously aged balsamic vinegar, I knew that the evening with @toscadoubletreesa would be promising.

True enough, I was blown away by the immaculately tender lamb. The double braised hickory smoked beef brisket was trickling with juice. Meat here are all prepared with precise temperature and authentic Italian flavours. Pasta was elegantly al-dente with freshly shaved parmesan. The affogato was unforgettable -lady's finger dipped into dalcona coffee over classic vanila gelato was the perfect finale for the evening.

From entre to dessert, the dishes here are a testament of the chefs' culinary dedication and expertise. Coupled with i-City's dazzling neon lights, dining at Tosca's is indeed a dreamy affair.
