Vary Pasta @ Damansara Jaya

If there's one habit that I would pick up, it would absolutely be waking up early in the morning (like 8-9a.m) and have a cuppa whilst reading newspaper. Despite being an indolent person, I could hardly rise at 12 noon (what's more 9a.m!) Whenever there isn't any class in the morning, I would rise slightly later and have cereal with milk whilst reading news online. Precisely, I don't often read Sydney Morning Herald (like almost never) and the first website I would visit is TheStar (#iheartmalaysia) The only section which appears enticing is kuali, a section where high and low food is published.

I happened to find out "Vary Pasta" on kuali which gave me a kick. Since I was allowed to go home during winter holiday, I took this opportunity to give it a go! It was tucked in a quiet corner of the row of shoplots that surround Atria Shopping centre but one should take note is, the narrow road and parking space is limited. Thus, I would suggest you to pay RM2 to park inside ASC parking lot.

Mushroom Soup - RM5.50

Vary Pasta takes pride in offering the most affordable and delectable western cuisine in the town. A bowl of thick and rich mushroom soup priced at RM5.50 is irrefutably a steal.

Bruschetta - RM4.50

I suppose bruschetta has never been this cheap and affordable despite the one I had in Sydney can easily costs a bomb (it was AUD9.50). The immense amount of garlic mixed with fine chopped tomatoes, olive oil and basil leaves and then rest on the crunchy toast bread. Such an appetizing dish to perk up our taste bud.

Spaghetti Amatriciana with Pork Ham - RM11.00

Originated from Amatrice, amatriciana gives you a hint of mild spicy and sweetness. The al-dente spaghetti is tossed with pork ham, tomatoes, basil leaves, onions and parmesan, then sprinkled with shredded cheese and the result is wonderful. Delizioso!

Spaghetti Bolognese with Chicken - RM9.00

In spite of its simplicity, I love the attention the chef had put into when cooking. The moist, rich and sweet classic bolognese sauce was indeed divino.

Spaghetti Garlic & Herbs with Chicken Ham - RM8.50

Spaghetti Garlic & herbs was remarkably enchanting. The spaghetti was cooked al-dente and mixed with fresh herbs but the lacked of moisture was a drawback for Lern. Hence, he deliberately hijacked mine :(

Fettucine Carbonara with Beef Bacon - RM11.50

Carbonara was the winner of the night. It was mouthwatering and scrumptious; not too creamy(just nice!), fettucine was cooked al-dente, and the bits of tubular beef bacon, fried but not stiff and has concentrated flavor. Magnifico!

We were all filled to the brim and immensely shocked that the bill came up to less than RM60 for 4 of us. Simple fare yet palatable, simple dim light settings with no frills, vary pasta truly deserves multiple visits.
