Risotto tougher to make? Aiyaaaa y olang aa

Not sure why there can't be a non-halal Italian restaurant. Maybe I bukak one.


You mean 100%? You ingat bangla cook can differentiate vegetable oil, olive oil and EVOO ka?


I've stopped eating pasta outside for years. I make my own now almost every week.

i think a lot of the higher priced Italian restaurants are essentially non-halal, since they almost always use and serve alcohol together with their cooking, although they will claim to be pork free

Luce Osteria is one that I know serves pork. Good pastas as well but really I only go there for special occasion, basic pasta like aglio olio still better done at home

maria steakhouse bangsar - you can tell them your spiciness. Wouldnt say the best but quite ok among others.

Most of the time is good, just that maybe chef not in mood or different chef then meh..

Janganlah camtu, pakai 100% nanti kena kecam, kena 99.99% like those Hand Sanitizer indicating its ability to kill bacteria.

Mana tau ada Bangla yang salah terbeli/terpakai olive oil yang authentic.

But what tips to identify True OVOO? If they were fake, what kind of fake we are speaking of? Not Virgin enough? Or It is completely different oil blend?

dont cheap out if you want to get real Italian food outside. The real ingredients itself are not cheap so don't expect the food to be cheap

Luce Osteria
Sassorosso
Aposto

just to name a few

Hey, do you mind to share what are the other brands we can look for?

upstairs cafe..

Luce I only go there for their wood oven pizza, which is not bad. But they already started to cheap out on the pizza dough since few years ago. They don't allow the pizza dough to rest more than 24 hours anymore, taking shortcuts and not allowing it rest and rise.

Thanks for reminding they do serve pork though.


At the grocery, usually check for:

1. A "pressed on" date. Real EVOO usually has that label somewhere.
2. I also check the bottle, real EVOO needs to be in very dark green GLASS bottle. This is because EVOO should not be exposed to sunlight, the dark green bottle helps shield UV little bit.
3. Certification seal, usually real EVOO manufactures got balls to get certified. If they have that, it's real.
4. Price, yea it's one of the rare exceptions where "expensive = good". Real EVOO is NOT cheap yo. But of course a lot of EVOO manufacturers purposely price their fake oils sky high to trick customers, which has been a practice since the 19th century.

The fake EVOOs are usually made with a combination of other oils like canola or sunflower. Some VERY bad ones will be harvested from rotten olives, where the oil is very thin. If you put this fake EVOO in the fridge over night, you will see the oil will look like water the next morning. Real EVOO will thicken up in cold temperatures.


I'd add LaBottega to the list if this was still few years ago. But recently, the boss there started to cheap out on his ingredients. Already diu kao him a few times, stop taking customers for a ride.

overrated, at least rm30 one plate lol

Maluhsian are happy to substitute butter with margarine.

few years ago i ate at jusco
rm7.50 not bad

Colvita real or fake? Price not that expensive.

Lorenzo and Calogiuri if you want premium. This is about the best you can get in MY, not available in your typical grocer stores though.


Colavita COLD PRODUCTION is real, they have a harvest date and is CERMET certified. Do not buy the other versions.

So other version is fake?

best ones are with truffle oil and beef slices.... not gonna tell u guys later sure packed n sold out....

mine is the best. but i'm not inviting a stranger to sup at my house

Not fake, but misleading. Like this one: https://colavita.com.my/products/premium-selection/

They say it's EVOO but "first cold production 100% premium selection". No harvest date, no CERMET seal, bottle is not dark green enough. I've also tasted it, it's not peppery and bitter unlike the other one I linked. Instead it's got a mild fruity flavor to it, which means it is definitely mixed with other oil.

Might as well don't tell then

Thanks a lot man! I recently purchased a pack of premium spaghetti, will try to make aglio olio with your suggestion 😁
