Food Review: Pasta Pasta @ Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu

           Assalamualaikum and hi. I know i have been neglected my blog for so long. Yes, it is my fault. I'm so sorry about that. I will try to update regularly as possible. I'm writing in English because i want to improve my English. It's not like my Bahasa Melayu is already perfect, i just want both of this language equally perfect. Hope u guys can support me. 

          Okay, this is my FIRST food review EVER !! *shoking face* I choose to review this restaurant in Kota Kinabalu because i spend almost 3 years now here. ( I'm studying in UMS laa). Insha-Allah, i will be graduating soon. Back to our topic. This restaurant is call Pasta Pasta located at Gaya Street in middle of Kota Kinabalu town. It serve only PASTA ( as it says on its name). 

        Since it is located at Gaya Street, its quite hard to find parking space in daylight. But its easy in night. Its open from 11am until 9 pm, 7 days a week. When you are in Gaya Street look for a black signboard written Pasta Pasta that have 3 circles with the colours of Italy flag. This restaurant is in the same row with HSBC bank. So, if its so hard for you to find the signboard, just look for HSBC bank.

        I would say this restaurant is like a fast food franchises, the only different is its serve pasta only. haha pretty lame. yeah2, I know. You won't find any other Italian cuisine. Trust me. This restaurant does not serve any PORK or ALCOHOL. 1 thing you need to know about restaurants in Sabah is if the restaurant display 'SERVE NO PORK OR ALCHOHOL' that's mean many muslim sabahan will eat there. Insha-Allah, it is HALAL. 

It's a small restaurant

        The pasta only cost *drum rolls* RM6.50 !!! Super cheap for pasta dish. There is not GST (Malaysian is so sensitive about GST now). When we went there today, there is no customer. Maybe because it is in evening (around 4.30pm). The restaurant use paper bowl to serve pasta (fast food concept). 

CJ's choice.

          Upon entering the restaurant, you will see a big menu board with pasta, sauce and topping columns. Yes, we can choose how we want our pasta. So, this will make many possibilities outcome. I had Linguine Pesto with meatball, meanwhile CJ had the 'normal' Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce with Beef Bacon and Mushroom. We have to order it at the counter. Btw, they only have canned drink and instant coffee. After few minutes, the pasta is ready and have to self collect. Yes, it is SELF SERVICE. You have to take your pasta, cutlery and drink just like any other fast food restaurant. 

My pasta choice.

         Actually, this is my first time eating pasta with pesto. I like it ! I like its taste. I can taste the herbs but not too overpower the dish. The meatballs is SUPER tender. The only thing I don't like is the pasta a bit oily. I also tried CJ's pasta. Surprisingly, I don't hate it. Yes, I hate pasta with tomato sauce because some places will have a very sour taste. The portion is quite okay. Not too little and not too many. 

        I really recommend this place to everyone who is in Kota Kinabalu or visiting Kota Kinabalu soon. Its very convenient for those who in hurry to grab lunch or dinner. You can Google more about this place.

London 2012

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone. Hee How are u? I'm getting busier because my final is just around the corner. haha Nervous + excited, scared ant etc. I have a mix feeling right now. I don't know if i have study hard enough. Hopefully i can perform well. Please pray for me k.

Back to the topic, as u guys might know, I've been to London on last July until August. Yeah, i stayed there for a month. hehe I went there with my twin / best friend Miss Hazirah Teh. Actually we planned to go to London on Jun until July.But the planned was delayed because my twin had a massive interview for her scholarship. Only on July she was free. We planned this thing on last semester in Matriculation. A crazy idea that i thought my parents won't let me go. But, they gave me permission to go there. 

Thank you mom and dad. haha Thank you for the opportunity. I really appreciated it a lot. Traveled alone with you best friend, its a really adventure. Will update u guys on our budge later. We went there using Malaysia Airline. A very comfy flight we had. haha We departed at 10am in the morning and safely arrived there at 4pm. Our jet lagged are not too bad. Alhamdulillah.

Aunty Catherine and Uncle John picked us up. Their home is in Hempshire. About 30 minutes from London city. Next morning we went to London city. Since we arrive a week before Olympic 2012, the city were crowded with people who come to support the game. And the city were beautiful with all the decoration for Olympic game.

Its was a great chance to had to been there on that special event in world. We went to Olympic park, Cambridge, Bayswater, The palace, Marble Arch, Madame Tussauds, King Cross Station, London eye and many more. Will tell u guys more detail on upcoming post k. When its time for us to go back home, i felt really sad. I kept asking Hazirah, why we have to go back Malaysia. Why can we live here. Yeah, Malaysia is a beautiful country. But my heart is still in London. I still can remember the fresh air, the grass, the park i went, the woods which i love the most. 

Its so heartbreaking to think if i get another chance to go there again. I miss London so much. Its like i go back to my hometown after been far away for along time. I know i used to live there just for awhile but that memories is like magical. Its feel like i belong there.

Okay, stop being so emo. If Allah give me another chance, insya-Allah i will go there again. Maybe that time with my love one. No photo for this entry k as i write it too long. hahah Till the next post.


Sincerely,
  AdiN
