Italiannies @ Gurney Paragon, Penang.

I've been wanting to try Italiannies since the day it was opened but I only managed to try it like FEW DAYS AGO. But that's okay better late than never right? Based on the name Italiannies it obviously has something to do with Italian food, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza you name it!

Menu

Complimentary toast with olive oil and vinegar, I've never  tasted such combinations before so it was quite a new thing for me. At first I was like "won't oily meh?" and bread with vinegar doesn't seem to mix, but it actually tasted pretty good! 

Loving their cozy and quiet environment. The staff were busy decorating to create a Xmas feeling!

How can I not agree to this?! Eating is a very important part of our lives so we.must.not.stop.eating, especially when it comes to great food. Speaking of great food, scroll down and you will see some!

Shrimp & Asparagus Alfredo (shrimps, bacon and asparagus cooked in a creamy parmesan sauce and tosses with fettucine). I did not order my favourite carbonara as I heard that the portion is quite big and I was afraid I couldn't finish it. AND I WAS RIGHT. When it was served in front of me I thought "this definitely worth the price"

This shares some similarities with carbonara as it is quite creamy as well just not as greasy as carbonara. The amount of shrimps and bacon are very generous! Major love <3 The only thing I dislike is the fettucine as I've always been a fan for spaghetti only, so regret for not asking them to change :( But still, the taste was really great and the portion is so big that I could only eat half ._. Their pasta can really be served for 2 servings.

Mom's. Chicken Milanese. (Grilled chicken breast served over cream spinach, then topped with chilled tomato caper relish). Mom's dish was smaller compares to mine because she only ordered Piccolo size, which is for 1 serving only. Both of us liked the sauce, it's like a white sauce and not greasy at all!

And I would like to express my satisfaction towards one of the waiter there, mom actually planned to order another dish but he suggested that the orders would be too much for two of us as the portion is big, thus mom changed her mind to the Chicken Milanese, which is a good choice too. I considered him as a life saver or else my mom and I would be stuffing everything into our mouths.

Tiramisu! I've always have in mind that tiramisu is always served in a very small size, and I'm so happy that Italiannies proved me wrong! My mouth literally went :O when it was served. Not only it is big, it tastes so damn good I had orgasnom lol. The whole thing was really soft, creamy, the melt-in-your-mouth kind. Somehow I don't know why the bottom part was so wet and it spoilt the lowest part, but other than that it was really GOOD, my mon was like "China House out already" haha. 

My satisfied face. And sort of crave for more face. Heard my bf said that their lasagna was big and good which makes me wanting them more :( 

If you're an Italian food lover, I highly recommend Italiannies! They serve great food with great quantity and quality!
