Christmas Lunch Party @ Silhouette

For Christmas 2009, we decided to try something different from what we normally do -  potluck dinner at some relative’s place. I made a reservation at Silhouette since they have this super cheap affordable lunch sets EVEN ON CHRISTMAS DAY itself. The lunch set is RM15.00 only per person and you get  to eat Italian food! There are 3 lunch sets to choose from. For each lunch set, it comes with 1 soup of the day, 1 main course and 1 glass of soft drink.

Soup of the day

The soup is very creamy and because it is such a big bowl (refer to the picha below), I filled half my tank with it. The soup tastes yummy with more pepper.

Rich & Creamy Soup of the Day

Want to bet that those black spots are mushroom? Those are blended mushroom weii!! Super rich and creamy soup!

Big Bowl

FYI (for your information), the soup comes alone, no bread. If you eat bread with the soup, that settles for a meal already. Must save some space for the main course mah.

For the main course, there are…

Set A

Penne All Arrabbiata

The tube pasta with spicy tomato sauce topped with cheese and nothing else. I really like this plate of pasta as it is spicy and a tinge of sweet and sour from the tomato sauce. The pasta is well done. Not too soft – overcooked and vice versa. This is my favourite among the 3 sets.

Set B

Spaghetti Bolognaise

The Spaghetti Bolognaise is superb as well. The sauce is creamy and the spaghetti is well done. I like the sauce though. Really have the authentic Italian taste and the Chef uses the whole tomato for the sauce rather than using tomato paste (perhaps he added a bit of the paste).

I chia you one bite

Yet another satisfying plate of pasta.

Set C

Pizza Di Funghi E Prosciutto (6")

The Pizza Di Funghi E Prosciutto consists of tomato sauce base, turkey ham, mushroom, and uber lots of mozzarella cheese! Definitely love the pizzas here.  You get to taste the real deal here, my friend. Satisfy your Italian Pizza crave here. It beats all other pizza outlets in town by taste, price (RM23 for a large pizza), quality and satisfaction. The crust is thin and crispy, the toppings rich with cheese, just how I like my pizza to be.

Unlike *referring to some Pizza chain restaurant* where they serve pizza with thick crust and pathetic portion of toppings and service so terrible that I don’t even bother to dine in it again. I’m sure many are full from eating the crust itself. Might as well buy roti (bread) and toast with bolognaise sauce and cheese on top.

Personal pizza bigger than my face!

The size of the personal pizza is very big and it is highly recommended that you share with your friends and family. Order a few different sets and share it among yourselves. That way, you get to sample 3 different Italian dishes in one meal. If you add RM6 more into the set, you will get one portion of Insalata de Cesare (Caesar Salad).

Uber long table

I like the hospitality given by Silhouette management. They specially prepared these table settings for us so we can have a proper meal together. Supposedly, the tables they have inside are all round tables and it would be pretty inconvenient for us to have a meal together with such a large number of hungry people.

I’m glad that everyone was enjoying themselves with the pizza and pasta here, except for my uncle who does not enjoy Italian food. *dang* Good thing Silhouette serves something else apart from just Pizza and Pasta. *phew*

Calamari with Spicy Sauce @ RM10

If Unc says it’s good, it’s good. I’m going to try this on my next visit. I <3 squids!

My Uncle enjoyed the Calamari in Spicy Sauce and the fried chicken wings.

Fried Chicken Wings @ RM15

Unc enjoyed it, the kids enjoyed it. I will give it a try when I’m done trying all the pizzas they have here. Kekekekkee.. (I don’t fancy fried chicken wings. I prefer roasted/bbq chicken wings)

After feasting and temporarily imagining ourselves in Italy feasting on Italian cuisine, we had 2 rounds of Bingo  (brought from home) before heading back to my place.

Overall, it was a memorable, fun and bloatful Christmas lunch party with my family.
