The ambience at Lucali was 👌 great service and great vibes. I can't decide if I feel like I'm at a pool (with the giant clock in the middle) or science lab with the service hosts wearing lab coats. The pizza came piping hot and had a great acidic punch from the tomatoes, and freshness from the basil. The texture was almost chewy (in a good way) and we had no problem wolfing down the entire pie. ($55)
The plate consisted a couple of biscuits, chillies and several slices of ham. Interesting mix of flavours, but nothing to rave about. ($22)
The fish was cooked perfectly and even retained some crispiness on the skin despite being served with a sauce. The meat was flaky and the confit tomatoes made for a nice acidic bite. Definitely light yet hearty meal. We will definitely be back to try more mains and sides!
Generous portion of meat, and each slice was meat heaven! It really melts in your mouth and is worth every single calorie. It can get quite jelak so I'm glad we got this and the fish! What I really appreciate is that they served both mains together, which is a small detail that often goes unnoticed. Great service!
Nice thick slices of collar atop a bed of mashed potato. Meat was juicy and tender, sauce was not bad. Had it on burpple's 1-for-1 offer.
Fried chicken was crisp and tender, seasoning is alright but nothing mind-blowing. Had this with burpple's 1-for-1 offer!
HIGHLIGHT OF OUR NIGHT. This unassuming cauliflower seemed to be steamed perfectly and had a good char on the outside. What made it outstanding was the acidic, umami and slightly sweet sauce it came soaked in. It was amazing!! It had miso, leek and furikake in it and we wanted to drizzle it on everything we could lay out hands on!
The bread was served warm and soft, easily torn into smaller pieces to be dipped into the hummus. There was a generous serving of hummus given and we scraped up every last bit of it!
A cross between cold soba and ramen (I believe?), this appetizer ($15) delivers a myriad of flavours in an unassuming clear truffle infused broth that the noodles were soaked in. Personally, I'm not a fan of sashimi but I slurped this up at double speed! There was also a generous serving of salmon, crabmeat, ikura and tobiko! Definitely my highlight for the night! Must try!
Inspired by MacDonald's burger, this dish ($26) elevates the fast food burger to a new level by combining beef patty with a crisp hashbrown. The party was more like a slab of tender meat rather than minced, and draped with a sauce that is both savoury and sweet. Definitely worth a try and I got it with burpples one for one deals!
Incredibly indulgent and perfect for those with a sweet tooth! The chocolate ice cream was more than a sidekick, coating the crisp buttery toast with its thick, rich sauce as it melted. Definitely a must visit in Bangkok!
These tiny pancakes (RM13.90) were simply adorable ! They were served with some gula melaka jam and also stuffed with it on the inside. However, it took us many bites to find the measly portion of jam within the pancake and overall the pancakes were a tad dry and less than fluffy. Would rather go for the Expresso pancake stack!
