In one corner of Bangsar Shopping Centre is Monte's, seemingly quiet on the outside but bustling inside with those who lunch a little more expensive than others. The Chicken Maryland (RM35) looks to be everyone's favourite, rolled in crumbs and deep fried. I went on a clearer path with Spaghetti Vongole (RM28), al dente pasta dressed with a garlic, chili sauce and clams galore. At first glance, the amount of clams looked underwhelming but towards the end, I was spinning pasta with at least two clams in every mouthful. Service was great with a bun served to quell your hunger but be prepared to wait when lunch hour packs the restaurant with hungry people.
