FOURTH ANNIVERSARY

" WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP..

FOR FOUR YEARS! "

*claps* Well, I just want to say that I am feeling really blessed at this point of my life. It really feels so amazing to stay with someone for four years. Four years may be a long period to certain people but to me, it's really short. Probably because Daniel participated in most of my life stories ever since secondary school and I'm not sure why, I just feel better having him around. I heard that happy moments tend to pass faster than the dull ones. This must be true. It's like we just celebrated our third anniversary and in a blink of an eye, here we are for the fourth anniversary (officially on 25th of August 2015).

We did many other things (desserts, movie, spending time around) before our dinner at Strato, Troika. But in this post, I am going to emphasize on the great meal we had that night. I am sure many people have heard about Troika Sky-dining before. There are three western restaurants located in Troika, and Strato is all about Italian food. 

Strato is directly above of Claret Wine Bar. It's not very spacious but still managed to occupy 6 to 7 table seats. As you can see from the picture, Strato has these red tiles all over it, which makes me feel kinda "old school". 

We were seated close to the windows.. with an astonishing view of the city. Daniel and I just kept spotting buildings that we'd been to. They even have long tables, with side-by-side seats around the windows for people who would like to enjoy a greater view. So thoughtful and space saving!

Here's Daniel, busy looking at the menu.

Not sure if anyone notices this, I have side fringe I these pictures. I went to cut it short a few days ago but it was kinda annoying so I just swept it up. 

Crab meat Linguini with chilies and crab sauce.

I would order pasta whenever I'm dining in western restaurant. It feels like a completion to my meal. Whether I am satisfied with this or not? Yes, I do. Everything in this dish is fine and simple. Just like those above average pastas that you would want to go back for a second try. All pastas cost around RM 50, unless you order the one served with lobster, then it would cost more than RM 80.

Roasted Chicken Breast with Basil and Mozzarella. 

Daniel is kinda eating clean for dinner recently, therefore, he decided to have chicken breast for that night. The portion was really beyond our expectations. I mean, usually all these restaurants don't serve such filling portion at RM 55. We thought ordering the chicken and pasta would not be enough.. Hence, we went for one more dish, which is the one below.

 Portobello mushrooms pizza.

Yes, pizza, a BIG one. I personally think the pizza could feed at least 3 people. Very crispy, very thin crust and large amount of mushrooms! They also serve beef pizza, lamb pizza and haddock pizza too. Same as the pasta, prices are around RM 50.

Thank you, friendly waitress for this picture of us together. Obviously, Daniel wore white to match my outfit.

 Oh talking about outfit, here's my ootd. Why must the best picture always be the blurred one?

I am wearing my white jumpsuit from Miss Selfridge. I love how easy matching it is, and I don't even have to worry about getting exposed while dressing in this short length. 

Ending this post with our mirror selfie. God blessed this elevator with huge clear mirror! I kept taking photos lol.

FRISSON COFFEE BAR

I love to try out new cafes, or those that are currently on trend. Most of the time, I get exposed to all these cafes either through my instagram friends or by any recommendations from people around me. But some of them are just not as good as what have been stated online. So, here's a question. 

"Is Frisson Coffee Bar overrated or not?" 

The answer is... NOPE. It's not! I am not disappointed with this cafe at all. Maybe because I have tried the right things this time? 

Talking about the ambience, it's kinda cozy. There are small lights all over the walls and a little on the ceiling. The whole cafe is decorated with black and wooden tables, hanging pictures and cute boxes sticking to the wall. Not really crowded during my visit maybe because it was a weekday. I enjoyed a good time there as it was quite silent.

Paranormal shot succeeded after a few attempts. Heh people kept moving around.

Stuffed Croissant with Chicken Ham - RM 15.90

Apparently, it's a croissant with vegetables, onions, olives and chicken ham stuffed in between. Next to it, there are cherry tomatoes and scrambled eggs cooked with tomatoes and cheese. This dish could be found in the a la carte menu but we ordered it under the set lunch menu, which means with RM 15.90, we got to enjoy both food and drinks!

Spot the light green drinks next to the pasta. Previously I've mentioned about the free drinks that comes together with the set lunch and this it is, a Green Tea Latte that costs RM 12. 

Polla Alla Milanese - RM 24.90

Tried this premium pasta that served with Italian classic Parmesan breaded chicken breast and tomato sauce. According to Daniel, the chicken is very crispy and the sauce tastes just nice with the right amount of tomatoes.

Chocolate Affair - RM 13.50

Hehe guess what? Here comes another great deal. By ordering any of the premium pastas, we would receive a 30 percent off for the affogato. In case you do not know, affogato is actually an Italian beverage that served with ice cream and a shot of espresso. Frisson Coffee Bar serves both chocolate and espresso shot, and of course I've picked the chocolate one. I AM A HUGE FAN OF CHOCOLATE.

What's in the cup? Chocolate ice cream, baby marshmallows, chocolate flakes and hidden crumbs underneath! Very tempting, isn't it? 

#ootd shot After a very satisfying meal. 

That's all for this review. As you can see, I am quite happy with this cafe. They serve generous amount of food with very affordable and reasonable prices. I think it deserves my second visit. And if you would like try it out too, check out the operating hours below.
