Dante's Italian Fusion Cafe @ Kelana Jaya
By Aiman Azri
The Italian poet Dante Alighieri is best known for The Divine Comedy, a sprawling narrative saga of doom and gloom that stretches over 700 pages. The Italian eatery Dante’s, on the other hand, is making its mark with some of PJ’s most pleasurable pasta, served at crowd-friendly prices that scarcely strike RM15 per serving. Which Dante makes us happier? Truth be told, we’ll skip the Inferno and stick to the restaurant.
Dante's founder Najee has been a chef for almost a decade; at Dante's, which opened this year, Najee succeeds in blending his skills and experience to whip up well-executed recipes, prepared with kitchen-made sauces, packing plenty of heat.
The most popular pasta here is the Soft Shell Crab Buttermilk, its light creaminess balanced with a spicy flair, showcasing a stellar crustacean crunch (RM15). The Smoked Salmon pasta is also a solid choice, relying on a potent tomato cream base that complements the fish, fired up with chilli flakes (RM12).
The kitchen is constantly creating new specialities - less than a week after we visited, we learned that a 'soft shell prawn aglio olio' is now also being offered. Colour us intrigued!
Dante's selection is impressively extensive for a casual space, spanning everything from pasta with freshly made meatballs to creamy mushroom alfredo pasta. Many thanks to the Dante's team for having us here.
RG21, Kelana Sentral Apartment, Jalan SS6/12, Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
Open Monday-Saturday, 11am-10pm. Tel: 017-372-8473

The Food Parlor @ Kelana Jaya, Village House @ Casa Tropicana & Line Clear Nasi Kandar @ Kampung Baru
From Malacca: The Food Parlor has its roots in Malaysia's historic state - the parents of the outlet's co-founder Cheryl reputedly run an eatery in Malacca's Portuguese Settlement, so it's natural that this casual venue specialises in cherished Eurasian family recipes that Malaccans know well. You'll find fairly priced, fuss-free rice sets (RM12.50-RM14.50) that emphasise chicken pongteh (respectable), ambilek long beans curry & captain's curry. For a fun Kristang-Italian twist, try the Devil's Spaghetti (RM14.50), a rich, saucy pasta with Devil's Curry gravy, tossed with chunks of chicken, onions & parmesan.
The Food Parlor
Ground Floor, Kelana Sentral Apartments, Jalan Bahagia, Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Daily, 9am-6pm. Tel: 016-353-4340
From Kelantan: Village House is a kopitiam helmed by a family from Malaysia's north-east, with a focus on authentic rice recipes that range from nasi ayam percik (RM13.90, with a whole flame-grilled chicken leg in coconut sauce) to nasi bungkus Kak Wok (RM8.90, featuring firm, steaming-hot rice packed in paper with small, chopped pieces of fried chicken, pungent sambal chilli sauce & light, sweetish gulai gravy - altogether addictive), as well as great-grain mainstays such as nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, nasi paprik, nasi ulam & nasi lemak. Special thanks to reader Andrew Toh for pointing out this place to us.
Village House Kopitiam
B-0-1, Block B, Casa Tropicana, No.5, Jalan Persiaran Tropicana, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Daily, 10am-10pm. Tel: 03-78865565
From Penang: Line Clear has long been one of the northern island's most popular haunts for nasi kandar, its heritage reaching back to before World War II. Its legacy now extends to KL with a new branch in Kampung Baru - an instant hit, with scores of patrons patiently queuing for half an hour during peak periods. We reached the end of the efficiently manned line & had a plate of steamed white rice heaped with fish roe (irreproachable), squid roe (soft but mercifully not mushy), fried chicken (the breast meat was relatively bland) & a large prawn (fresh, firm & fleshy), flooded with a jumble of spicy-savoury gravies for RM29. The curries could be more robust, but this feels familiar enough to merit honourable comparisons to nasi kandar in a Penang alley.
Line Clear Nasi Kandar Restaurant KL
113 Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kuala Lumpur. Beside Kampung Baru's Plaza Rah (Public Bank). Business hours in flux, but nasi kandar should be available 11am-midnight daily

Chicken Lah! @ Kelana Jaya
Hatching this month in Kelana Jaya, ChickenLah hopes to soon rule the fast-food roost here, marking a freshly laid plan by Perak's well-respected Winner's Fried Chicken franchise to fly the coop from its birthplace of Ipoh & spread its wings further.
Legend has it that the recipe for Winner's Fried Chicken was conceived by an Ipoh Garden housewife in her kitchen in 1987; since then, she & her entrepreneurial husband & son have licensed the brand to hundreds of hawker stalls in night markets & food courts in Perak & beyond. ChickenLah takes things to a new level, heralding a possible chain conceptualised by Winner's.
Customers can purchase two pieces of chicken (RM7+), three (RM10.20+), five (RM16.75+), nine (RM30.15+) or 15 (RM49.50+), or have a single piece in rice boxes of nasi ayam or nasi lemak (RM8.80+). The chicken proves crisp & tender, but perhaps not particularly pronounced in flavour. The rice? Fragrant, though the nasi lemak can be clumpy.
Local persuasions permeate ChickenLah's choices, from belacan-fried chicken wings (RM6.50+ for two well-executed pieces) to keropok lekor (RM3+ for six slices) to pisang goreng with kaya (RM4.50+). Still, fries & coleslaw are offered too if you must.
And while there are chicken burgers with black pepper sauce or smoky cheese, we were more tempted by the SambaLAH! Burger (RM4.90+), a riff on the components of nasi lemak, with sambal, fried anchovies & egg. One nice point: ChickenLah tastes comparatively less guilt-provoking than some of its established rivals - a little less oil & salt, maybe.
Goat's milk coffee (RM4.50+)? Robust. ChickenLah also does deliveries, & recognising that this shop-house street in front of the Kelana Jaya LRT station is hopeless for parking, you can call ahead for pick-ups - the staff will bring your meal to your car.
Chicken Lah! It's Makan Time
97 Jalan SS 25/2, Taman Bukit Emas, Taman Mayang, Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya. Open 1030am-10pm. Tel: 03-7886-8900
