Dining Out @ Leonardo's, Jalan Bangkung, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

my favourite peppers

I similar how around outlets precisely come upwards to their ain given around time. Take for instance, Leonardo's along the serenity suburbs of Bangsar - non a really novel house as they opened their doors since 2009 but the nutrient is too so freakingly expert that you lot precisely desire to revisit it over again too again. It's a far yell from those novel places that open, serve mediocre nutrient too accept teething problems inwards damage of service too etc. Believe me, I sometimes wade through a lot of places (newbies I telephone think them) that precisely don't brand the cutting (or satisfy the tummy) or warrant fifty-fifty a bad cite here.

simple but lovely Ranjit's pasta, dark squealer shoulder loin steak

I'm enthusiatic well-nigh Leonardo's purely because it has non dissapointed me yet fifty-fifty after ii visits too I promise it won't allow me downward for hereafter visits. Judging from the positive weblog reviews that pepper the whole Google search, I justice I'm non the only individual shouting my approval.


share this pork knuckle platter

My absolute favourite dish hither - a must-have whenever nosotros dine hither are the amazingly expert Castilian piquillo peppers (RM25) stuffed amongst dark truffle fragranced pork mince served amongst salsa verde dressing too lashings of creamy sauce. It's drizzled amongst a reduced balsamic vinegar that seems to convey all the flavours together. Gorgeous materials that I never tire of eating!!

super crispy pizza, chorizo sausage amongst rosti

Great for sharing amongst lots of every bit minded gastronomes is the Leo's Pork Knuckle Platter (RM75) - a hefty portion of crispy skinned pork knuckle cutting to pieces amongst a crunchy crackling, a bacon stuffing, reddish saukerkraut too garlic herbed potatoes. It is served amongst a mushroom sauce that didn't appear to stand upwards for the pork knuckle's flavours. However, the thickish apple tree sauce served on the side was a heavenly stand upwards for amongst the chunky tender pork bits. They fifty-fifty laissez passer you lot the os that 1 of my friends constitute only yummy - correct downward to the terminal bite.

fried hokkien noodles

In a recent dinner, it was a smorgasboard of porky delights - grilled portobello mushrooms topped amongst bacon (the existent materials okay!), cheese too tomato plant (RM22), bacon, tater too apple tree rosti amongst grilled chorizo sausage (RM38), fried hokkien noodles (RM25), iberico pineapple pork ribs (RM45), amongst Ranjit's pasta (RM30) too the big breakfast pizza topped amongst bacon, egg, mushroom too tomatoes. While the grilled mushrooms, rosti, ribs too fried noodles didn't accept the wow factor, it was yet really satisfying. I loved the build clean yet tasty season combination of the bacon bits, chilli padi, garlic too mushroom inwards the Ranjit's pasta - named after solicitor Ranjit Singh, 1 of the owners of Leonardo's whom I had the pleasance of working amongst presently long agone inwards a case. Pizza hither is made yesteryear a magic unwrap denoted yesteryear the bully Leonardo Da Vinci who gave the globe the Mona Lisa, bully inventions including crispy lean pizzas!


desserts galore: staff of life too butter pudding, apple tree amongst fillo pastry, brownie too mousse amongst vodka strawberries

On an before visit, I had sampled their Castilian dark squealer shoulder loin steak (RM55) served amongst a picon bluish risotto too mustard sauce. While the nitty-gritty was pinkish too fork-tender, I felt it had a potent porky odor when eaten without its sauce. Once you lot liberally coat it amongst the mustard sauce, it is fine. We as good tried Chef Vic's Wedge Salad - crisp cabbage served amongst fifty-fifty crunchier bacon, smoked pimento too picon bluish dressing - a refreshing get-go to a heavy repast fifty-fifty though the bluish cheese dressing was a picayune lean (we asked for to a greater extent than too it was fine after that).



Even amongst the tummies filled amongst porky delights, nosotros had room for desserts - didn't someone I know in 1 trial cite nosotros accept a seperate compartment for those sugariness treats? Let me see, nosotros had the night chocolate too walnut brownie amongst a scoop of Haagen Daz H2O ice cream, banana staff of life too butter pudding amongst a warm rum sauce too H2O ice cream too baked apple tree amongst fillo pastry too cinnamon creme. I liked the low-cal baked apple, loved the moreish tasting banana staff of life too butter pudding but was non much of a fan for the brownie fifty-fifty though it was chocolate. Another exceptional nosotros tried before is the night too white chocolate mousse served amongst vodka macerated strawberries (RM22) - a concoction that seemed to lack much oomph fifty-fifty though the alcohol drenched strawberries was a prissy touch.

Overall, it was a really satisfying repast coupled amongst splendid service. Will I last back? Definitely too so I reckon, for around other circular of my favourite piquillo peppers, around other porky season hitting too peradventure around Kentucky fried frog - an interesting dish they accept on the card that I accept been curious to elbow grease or around expert quondam breadbasket warming bak kut teh.
