We celebrated my birthday earlier one day with lunch at Bella Marino at Straits Quay.
I ordered the Risotto Bella Marino which is saffron infused arborio rice with prawns, clams and asparagus.
This is my second time having risotto; the first was in Florence a year ago and that was superb. The risotto here is just so-so, not as creamy as I expected it to be. There were generous amounts of prawns and clams as well as asparagus.

Hubby ordered the Spigola Alla Griglia Con Capesante Al Pesto which is actually grilled sea bass with scallops in pesto sauce served with mashed potatoes. The salad was fresh, and the fish cooked to perfection with pesto sauce over it. Delectable!

We got too ambitious and also ordered their Pizza Alla Boscaiola which is pizza topped with mushrooms, beef bacon, tomato and mozzarella cheese. The pizza was good albeit a little salty. We couldn't finish and had to 'tapao' back.

For dessert, we had Panna Cotta; a traditional Italian cooked cream dessert served with raspberry coulis and crushed nuts. I love their Panna Cotta, not too sweet and goes so well with the raspberry coulis. The only thing to comment is the presentation. I think they should not 'drown' the entire cream with the coulis but rather place the coulis on top of the cream or at the sides.

The total bill including a glass of house white wine (RM 16.00), service charge (10%) and govt tax (6%) came up to RM 137.10.
Thanks dear for the wonderful lunch:) Muaks!
