Porto Romano - Tmn Tun

Also another branch of a place we have tried before (the original is on the ground floor Crown Princess hotel - in a corner area facing Jln Tun Razak). We sort of knew what to expect in terms of the food quality so coming here was just testing out to see if this branch's quality measures up to the original. We seem to do this a lot! (i.e. go to branches of the original places - sometimes w disastrous results - see entry on La Risata, Medan Damansara). Anyway, for appetisers, we shared grilled veg (doused in olive oil and balsamic vinegar), had mushroom soup as well as seafood soup. I had beef bacon sphag carbonaro, my friend had seafood pasta, he had salmon fettucini, all pretty standard good quality fare. Nothing near the standards of La Risata Ampang mind you but not bad. Apparently a little pricey for Tmn Tun standards. The place had a couple of tables occupied but I don't if it will survive in the long run. As for dessert, we gelato and panna cotta to round out the meal.

Price 3/5, Taste 3.5/5, Atmosphere 4/5 (his rating, I wld have rated it a 3), Service 3.5/5
