Count Down @ One Utama
Happy New Year To Everyone!!!
How’s everyone’s count down? Some would have gone to the busy road at KL for a big bash, some would have a quiet count down snoring away through 12 midnight while some… like me… would prefer something in between!
Me, my boyfriend and my schoolmates decided to head off to One Utama to have a nice dinner at Dave’s Pizza Pasta Vino Restaurant! None of us tried the food there before so it was a great choice for new adventure before the count down.
The place looks very cool and earthly. A great place for eating and socializing for sure! The seatings are pretty comfortable. Though arrangements can be messy a little, but it’s no biggie since the whole ambience creates a mood of cozy-ness.

Anyway the food came and we were STARVING to the Super Saiya style mode. Why? The dinner was set at 9pm. *Sob*
Orechiette Pasta - RM45.00
Ken Yao choice of dinner was this lovely pasta with oh-so-delicious crispy slices of bacon. It has strong tasteof bacon all over with cheesy oomph and definitely hint of olive oil!
Ham Mayonnaise Pasta - RM30.00
Charlene’s savoury. It was pretty much average for me. Something simple for those who fancy simple dishes with a lovely taste cheesy ham and mayo!
Pork Parmegiana - RM40.00
My bf and I shared a plate of Pork Parmegiana. The pork is deep fried into a fillet styled serving and is covered with cheeeeeeeeeese all over. I really enjoyed the salad on the side! Not to bad overall but I would say there are better dishes being served than this one!
BBQ Half Slab Pork Ribs - RM45.00
For those who enjoy the sweet and sour taste, Ah Beng decided to venture into the ribs served with three lovely sides. It has gravy served separately so you can control the amount of gravy intake as you like it.
Pork Knuckle - RM 51.00
This is THE BEST among what we have ordered. The whole pork knuckle is deep fried into oh-so-lovely texture: soft on the inside and CRISPY on the outside. This is definitely a must-order if you are there. Good for two-person sharing because it’s FATTENING. But to Brother Dragon, this is definitely a hunger-satisfying dish. I would definitely aim for this dish and share during my next visit but won’t be anytime soon…
Garganelli Alfredo - RM45.00
Ooooooooo this is REALLY GOOD. I just love the pizza! The CHEESE makes everything different! Just one bite and I was thinking: Oh~la~la
Oh so good I must come back for this one! Must bring my mom since she’s a pizza lover!
Overall Dave’s Pizza Pasta Vino is one of the few good places in One Utama for delicacy and social activity. But take note of the pricing. It’s pretty steep there. Only good for special occassions based I would say!
Anyway after eating we decided to hang around a little while before we head to the outside where the party is happening! So we took some pictures!

When the time is about to count down, we walked all the way to the outside park near the lake and waited. The sad thing is… they did the count down in cantonese!! I can understand cantonese but come on… there are people who doesn’t understand cantonese okay?? Very disappointed with that issue. Because the count down was done in cantonese… not everyone caught the shouts from stage and it became a quite-styled count down and only to realise it has reached ‘ZERO’ when the fire works came!
I took out my new Olympus 1050SW out, turned into fireworks mode and tried my hands on it. The problem is… I didn’t have any training in taking fireworks pictures so it came out pretty bad… *sweat*

Anyway I thought I might as well take videos so everyone can see how beautiful the fire dances in the sky! I have uploaded in YouTube already. Take a look! It’s pretty good!
So………….
HAPPY NEW 2009!!!!
