February 2020. Traffic jam badly after work, decided to turn into Suria KLCC and have dinner first before go home. End up at Bens for pasta (I just had pasta with Christal during lunch lol). Wanted the sofa seats next to the window but none of it available when we walked-in. So waiter arrange us to sit at the table nearest to the window seat so we could still enjoy view outside. I had Seafood Marinara Spaghettini and he go for Hot'n'Spicy Seafood Spagettini. The waiter has warned him that the pasta could be too spicy for him to handle, so he ask to reduce the spiciness. Still he find it over spicy. Not recommended if you can't handle spicy well.

Pasta & Pizza Splurge~ Porto Romano, The Intermark
February 2020. My lunch buddy Christal and I love pasta and pizza. We'll splurge a little for our lunch once in a while (usually once in a month) when we want to unstress. Porto Romano is one the place popular with pasta and pizza in our office building that we wanted to try and we are here today, celebrating valentine's day together over a lunch. We have a good time together as usual with Spaghetti al Salmone for me and Spaghetti alla Bolognese for her. The Spaghetti Porto Romano and the Pizza con Quattro Formaggi were our later dine-in when we are here again~

My 41st birthday~ Two Sons Bistro, The Starling Mall
February 2020. I got another birthday meal at Two Sons on the day I turned forty-one, unexpectedly. Order mussels with chili butter cream (weight approx. 900gram), 2 sets of garlic breads, a pasta carbonara and a flat white. The mussels dish itself serve along with garlic breads. Since I have seafood allergy and I can't eat mussels, the extra garlic bread is for me to enjoy the creamy gravy instead of mussels. Not a "happy" birthday this year with many uncertainty due to coronavirus.

Seokgwan-dong Tteokbokki~ Sukdduck, Solaris Mont Kiara
February 2020. My early birthday dinner at this newly open Tteokbokki place at Solaris Mont Kiara. This Tteokbokki franchise from Korea named Seokgwan-dong Tteokbokki, short-form SukDduck. Open somewhere around last year, just two doors away from Kim's Mart. Seokgwan-dong is a name of a neighbourhood in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. I guess this tteokbokki could be origin from Seokgwan-dong? Anyway, we order the mains and sides separately instead of going for the sets, as our preferred combination is Soupy Topokki, Fish Cake Platter, Crunchy Tempura Set and Spicy Chewy Noodle.
The soupy tteokbokki is above our expectation. We like the soft yet chewy tteok which is thinner than average size rice cake and the spicy soupy broth. However, the Fish Ball Platter is rather disappointing as it is overboil, causing the texture became too soft and tasteless. The Crunchy Tempura Set has deep fried dumplings, deep fried squid, deep fried shrimp, Kimmari (seaweed rolls) and sweet potato slice are good to eat along by dipping into tteokbokki sauce. Their Jjolmyeon is delicious too. The spicy sauce plays an important role to determine the taste of this dish and their jjolmyeon has a nice ratio of combination for the sauce. Overall we spent RM77 in total - no service charge incurred but only cash is acceptable for the payment.
