DELECTABLE ITALIAN BRUNCH @ PIZZA ROMA THE ORIGINAL MALAYSIA, D'RAPPORT RESIDENCES, OFF JALAN AMPANG

 

Ciao!

I was just lamenting to my pal the other day on how rare these days to come by a good and earnestly made pizza -until we stumbled upon Pizza Roma The Original Malaysia which is located at the quaint and tranquil D'Rapport Residences, just a stone's throw away from Gleneagles Hospital.

 It was just the perfect brunch spot to be on a leisure day after running some errands or just a respite after a hectic schedule. Having said that,  they do serve breakfast for early birds, brunch, lunch, tea time and all the way till dinner. 

Diners can opt to either dine in at their vibrant air-conditioned setting or al fresco which i naturally often attune to, especially when it was such a lovely breezy afternoon during our visit. Plus, it also has my fave patio umbrella setting (i always have a soft spot for such laid-back set-up, hehe)

This hidden gem is actually the brainchild of none other than the already well known signore amongst his regulars, Chef Lorenzo Corsi (also previously founder of Pizza Roma at Jalan Ampang) together with his amico, an Australia-trained Chef Rabin Ramachandran who has been specializing particularly in fine dining genre (previously from The Hotel Windsor on Spring and the Hilton on the Park to name a few....), have never ceased to amuse his clientele palatably.

And so we kick start the carefree day wholesomely with nutritious smoothie, Wild Berry Mix (MYR 21.90) that is made from real ingredients. There ain't any dodgy artificial sweeteners here except all from the assorted fresh fruits itself (so yeah, only downright serious business here ^^) whilst Vanilla Milkshake (MYR 17.90) perfect for fans of a classic good ol' milkshake.

For breakfast menu which is available up till 11 am and 12pm (weekday & weekend respectively), don't forget to try the eccentric Spicy Chorizo Baked Eggs (MYR 34).

Served with Turkey Chorizo, Eggs, Black Olives, Capsicum, Homemade Spicy Tomato Sauce and Grated Parmesan served with Homemade Sourdough stick on the side.

Many would have likened it for the conventional Shanshuka but personally i prefer this version by Pizza Roma The Original Malaysia much more for its more savoury  and spicier taste profile (as in rich in spice flavour and not chilli spiciness, so don't ya' worry, hehe), which otherwise appears tad too sourish for me like what i had in Denmark before (= 

Hence this rendition with a unique twist of turkey chorizo alongside its homemade spicy tomato sauce has indeed up the ante.

For vegan folks as well as weight-watchers, you won't go wrong with the salubrious serving of this health booster Greek Salad (MYR 29.90) that comes with handful of Lettuce, Feta Cheese, Kalamata Olives, Red Onion, Capsicum and Cherry Tomato.

Coming up next would be my all-time favourite (those who has been following my foodie diary would have easily guessed it :D) Yes, it's none other than truffle-infused fare!

For their addictive pizza series, diners can choose either Pinsa Romana (Roman-style thick crust pizza that is healthier and easier to digest) such as............................

Tartufata (MYR 21.90)

Aromatically curated with Mozzarella, Rocket, Shaved Parmesan and Mushroom on Truffle Sauce that lusciously vivifies the puffy base, this is indeed a great masterpiece that no one shall leave Pizza Roma The Original Malaysia without trying. One bite and you're hooked on for more!

............... or you can go for the thin crust version like this Margherita (MYR 23.90),  fuss-free yummy bites of Naples-style pizza with Tomato, mozzarella, parmesan and basil on a crispy bread base.

Besides that, sandwiches here are wonderfully amazing! 

Trust me, they are definitely not your average subs. My personal very vivid experience when enjoying this gourmet was that the distinctive tartness of refreshing nuance that it brings upon. Each bite feels very light yet satisfying at the same time. To be honest, i have never really enjoyed toastie except those cheesy melt-down type until i tried them here. Simply awesome!! 

Tuna Sandwich (Piccolo- MYR 12.90)

Homemade Tuna Mix, Lettuce, Tomato and Pickled Onion

Chicken Sandwich (Regular- MYR 19.90)

Marinated Chicken Breast, Fiordilatte, Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato and pickled cucumber

If you're craving for a great, honest plate of sumptuous pasta, highly recommend this moreish Smoked Duck Aglio e Olio with Premium Handmade Fettucine. Each strand is evenly and flavourfully coated, with some chilli for extra mild spiciness that indeed brings this whole plate to another level.

Last but not least, am lucky to grab a plate of its daily special carte du jour Pesto Gnocchi, which has been a hit amongst its customers. This ain't surprising for everything was made from scratch- from handmade gnocchi up to the vibrant pesto sauce itself which is exceptionally robust in flavour. And yes, being an avid fan of pesto myself, this easily passes with flying colours (=

Also one notable feat on what makes the pizza here stands out from its peers, is due to good quality Di Marco flour used. So far, only Chef Lorenzo who manages to source this type of unqiue Italian flour within Klang Valley, rendering the baked goods are top-notch and so, too good to say no,  no matter how full you might already be.

Looking forward to savouring many more tantalizing dishes here and we can't wait to be back again to try out the other promising creations! Grazie for the delightful spread and cozy space again! 

Or you could  also opt for delivery in case you're running around the clock and rest be assured that the food arrived will still taste as good as when dine in here. 

How do we know? 

Simply because the passionate Chefs of Pizza Roma The Original Malaysia have meticulously gone through various R&Ds in assuring the best way to preserve food freshness and deliciousness until it reaches customers door. 

For your info, i actually did some bold test by having both the pizza and sandwich takeaway and enjoy it much later at home. Lo and behold, they still taste as scrummy as it was served fresh, wow! Of course, a quick heat up in the oven would be lovely too.

And now, i'm again............... hankering for its toothsome sandwich and pinza. Guess it won't be long till my next return, haha. So guys, do drop by Pizza Roma The Original Malaysia soon and i look forward to hearing your delish sharing.

Ci vediamo presto!

Till then, cheers for now and follow us at Carpe Diem for more ‘food-ful’ discoveries!
