1 May 2011: Prego has been in our "to go" list since 2 yrs ago. We finally had dinner at Prego. It's claimed to be the best Italian Restaurant in town. We were seated at a table that allow us to have a clear view of the "Show" kitchen, where we can watch how the food is prepared.


Here are what we had...

• Fettuccine Carbonara (RM31++) -> The fettuccine is Prego home-made fresh egg pasta. However, it is too thin and soft. I don't really like the texture of this home-made fettuccine. It reminds me of "Pan Mee" that's soaked too long in the sauce/soup. The fettuccine stick together like a whole big bunch of flour. This is such a disappointment since I've been looking forward to dine here for some time. The carbonara sauce tastes great though. It might be better if we order Spaghetti Carbonara instead of Fettuccine.
  
• Calzone Bomba Pizza (RM34++) -> Consists of turkey ham, zucchini, artichoke, basil, pesto sauce, tomato and mozzarella. We selected this pizza because it's labelled as chef recommendation. It looks unique and tastes great. However, the pizza base is soft and soggy, not crunchy at all. I'm not sure whether it's meant to be like that. I personally prefer crunchy pizza base.
• Bread with tomato sauce -> Complimentary starter from Prego. Not bad.
• Zuccotta al Cioccolata (RM20++) -> Prego's famous chocolate mud pie. If I were to give this a name, I'll call it chocolate ice-cream cake with coffee powder. This is total disappointment for me. I did not expect it to be an ice-cream cake. Besides, it tastes more like a coffee cake than a chocolate cake to me. Note: I'm not a coffee lover.
• Black Coffee (RM11++) -> Quoted from my bf "This coffee is good. I enjoy drinking it even without sugar."

In conclusion... the food we ordered are generally disappointing. Maybe it's our fault, not knowing what's supposed to be ordered. Anyway, we really enjoy watching the "Show" kitchen. Maybe we will go again some other time to try some other dishes.
