Hi loves, how's everyone doing? I understand that we are going through CMCO phased now but remember to take the necessary precaution and don't let your guard down. I understand a lot of restaurants aren't up and running like before but we are slowly going back to work now so getting lunch & dinner is starting to be an issue.

Recently I tried the food delivery service from Red Penguin and had a pleasant experience, Red Penguin offers food delivery with an affordable yet impressive variety of dishes that will please all sorts of foodies.

Red Penguin is an Asian Fusion restaurant located in TTDI specializing in Briyani, as well as burgers, grilled meat, pasta, sides, and many more. Each dish picked will look equally appetizing and most of the dishes are under RM20, so you can always come back and try items from the menu without burning a hole in your pocket.

So here are the dishes I've tried, personally, I love the Briyani the most, it's actually a family recipe infused with modern-day culinary, the mutton was tender and flavorsome and it effortlessly melts in your mouth and leaves you asking for more, this is definitely worth trying. It also comes in choices of Kampung Fried Chicken, Curry Chicken, Tenggiri, and Tiger Prawns.

Marinara Beef Meat Ball Pasta with Soup & Salad RM16

If you are lazy to cook for the day, I highly recommend trying out Red Penguin that serves affordable yet delicious meals which can be easily done on their website www.redpenguin.my/ the pandemic has really effected a lot of our local businesses, I hope that by supporting our favorite eateries via online will help them get through this tough time otherwise they'll be all gone by the time the pandemic ends and that'll be really sad to see.

Food always seems to taste better when accompanied with a good view, knowing how much my husband loves good views and drinks it took me quite a while to hunt down a perfect spot that we'll spend our night together for his birthday. Ever since the kids came into the picture, we hardly had time for ourselves anymore, those drinking nights were literally gone but I've gotta thank my mama & nanny for taking care of the kids on this special day so we'll have time for ourselves.



Cielo KL seems to be a perfect choice for us, sitting up on the 23rd floor of Vida Bukit Ceylon, Jalan Ceylon, the restaurant is just a street away from Changkat Bukit Bintang, parking was free and most importantly it had an impressive view of Kuala Lumpur with a modern and sophisticated setting, yet it was a relaxed dining experience.

I made my reservation online on their website here, book my dinner at 530pm just a lil before sunset, so I could see KL in the daylight and enjoy the sunset while I eat and catch the glittering skyline at night while I drink. The food menu looks awesome, it was mainly seafood which is something both of us enjoy, for those who don't fancy seafood there's steaks and chicken but not many options available so if you're fussy about you might have to opt for something else.


Bread is always a good idea to pre-start my meal and warm up my palate, I really love the lobster butter that went really well with the fresh-baked bread, it was still flaky on the outside and moist at the center.


For starters, we begin with Pan-seared Scallops RM55 which was served with green pea puree, mushroom ragout, sea urchin foam, spinach sprout, and celery shoot sprout. This was probably my favorite course of the whole meal, it was perfectly pan-seared on each side, moist and buttery, the sauce that comes with it was divine, it complements the whole elements of this dish well.


Next up, we were served with a lime sorbet to cleanse our palate before we proceed to our main course, I had the Organic Free Range Spring Chicken with Moreal Mushroom sauce & Sarawak Black Pepper Sauce RM88 and Ricky opt for the charcoal-grilled Loup de Mer aka Sea Bass with Lobster Cream sauce RM115 both dishes were accompanied with mousseline potatoes refined with a hint of pecorino basil pesto. The portion was just right for the both of us, I couldn't finish my chicken so hubs helped me out with it as well.

Cielo KL is a great place for a drink and a meal, I would say it was reasonably priced for the premium atmosphere and fresh local produce you're getting. My husbs and I had a pleasant time dining here and I am surely going back for more! I hope this will help you in deciding where to go for a romantic dinner with your special one in the future ❤

We started off with some house wine and some classic bruschetta with fresh tomatoes.



Calamari with Radicchio Tenders, Oranges, and Anchovies RM25

This colorful salad is a mix of flavors and textures, the deliciously tangy dressing pulls all of the ingredients together, giving you something refreshing before you start off with your mains.



Clams with Saffron Burnt Butter RM32

Clams are one of my favorite food, the version at Pasta Bella is fantastic! The saffron burnt butter melts into the clam liquor and creates an irresistible broth, give the lemon a lil squeeze it gives the sauce just enough acid to cut through the richness of the butter.



Wagyu Beef Fat Spaghetti Cabonara RM32

Honestly, this is just so good, it is way beyond my expectation! Highly recommend ordering this pasta, it was truly satisfying to bite into the crispy beef fats every bite I take if you love rich and creamy pasta this dish is for you!



Pan Seared Fish of The Day with Shellfish Butter & Wilted Spinach RM56

For those who fancy fish, this simple pan seared fillet will be a great choice.


Macadamia Panna Cotta RM20

For someone who has a sweet tooth, I always end dinner with a dessert but since age is catching up and I'm trying to reduce my sugar intake this panna cotta is perfect for me, the sweetness was just right and it has a lil bit of texture to it.

It was a wonderful dining experience at Pasta Bella for me and hubs, the staff is passionate and really good at helping indecisive customer like me, the recommendations given were really on point, I would say the pasta is to die for so do not skip that!

 Sweet closure to my delicious dinner, we ordered Death By Chocolate RM21, it was a beautiful harmony of fragrant waffles served with fresh fruits and it was topped with a generous amount of vanilla ice cream, kit kat, chocolate crumble, almond flakes and drizzled with chocolate syrup.
