There were many people who told me there is nothing to eat in Nu Sentral. Really? That busy place which are packed with people everyday? After a long day of driving (and Lyn shopping), we decided to just hang around in Nu Sentral and try our luck here.
On the top floors, there are many shops with different offerings. Local cuisine, japanese, koreans, and you just need to name it. We decided to try something more filling: pasta.
Pasta Zanmai (not sure whether it is related to another Sushi Zanmai one floor up) offers fusion Japanese, focussing more on pasta choices.
The shop looks simple and clean. The staff is very nice, but the service is really slow, considering there are only a few tables full. Or maybe a minute seems to last forever when you are hungry. Surprisingly the price are not too expensive, one could get a decent dish for less than RM20. Do not expect budget offering either; this is a shopping complex after all.
I ordered the black pepper cheese baked rice (black pepper doria) (RM18) which was fairly good. Lyn loved the taste more than me though. We loved that the black pepper did not overshadow the chicken (which a lot of shop did just that on any black pepper dishes), but it is still too heavy for my liking. Lyn ordered tori kino pasta (RM17 for small), which appeared as a diluted cabonara. It is not too creamy, which is an advantage to lots of health conscious people out there, but bursting with taste. For Lyn to praise cabonara (which is not her favourite way of cooking pasta by the way), it has to be really tasty. So far, the pasta dishes had exceeded our expectations (which are not high initially), but the rolls were bit of let down. The unagi avocado roll (RM 12 for half a roll of 3, RM20 for a full roll of 6) initially taste good. However, the taste of BBQ and mayonaise over powered the unagi so much that I can hardly taste any unagi at all until I isolate a few piece and eat it on its own away from the roll. Believe me, after tasting unagi in sukiji, it changes my perception on eel and how they should be cooked.
The whole dining experience here did not define any new standard to shopping mall eating. But it did debunk the myth that there are nothing to eat in Nu Sentral. Would I come again? Yes, especially when I am hungry and lazy to move away from the central location.

comments: extra poink for the convenient location.
