My last weekend outing is to hunt for new places to dine in with my children. We are looking into trying out Italian food @ Sapore which is located at Persiaran Ampang KL. Sapore is an Italian Spanish-Mediterranean restaurant that serves Authentic real taste of Italian and Spanish food and their Signature dishes are Roasted Octopus, Suckling Pig, Dry-Aged Grain-Fed T-Bone, Iberico Pork Seafood Paella, Tapas, Cold Cuts, Cheese, Pizza, Pasta, Ibérico Abanico Loin and etc.

Sapore has introduced new menu recently and also special deals for family and kids over the weekend.

Our meal began with a Basket of Focaccia to kick start our appetite

Serving of Paella . Sapore have promotions going on-Buy 1 Free 1 paella every Sunday

Classic Italian Pizza RM 25-32
Half portion of cooked ham and another half is cold cut Parma Ham

We can request to personalize the pizza by adding on 1-2 different types of cold cut charcuterie. I love the idea of choosing different toppings of the pizza especially when my kids are picky eaters. Selection of pork sausage and cook ham is just nice for them.

Serving of fresh crispy and cheesy Pizza

Grilled Ibérico Abanico Loin with salad RM 49
Ibérico Abanico Loin is a special Cut from the frontal part of the carcass, between the collar and the pork back fat, this cut is nothing short of exquisite.Very juicy, tender meat which “hugs” the outside of the ribs. When cooked, its extensive fat marbling melts and enhances the flavour of this sought-after meat.

In Sapore, Chef Fabio marinate the Iberico Abanico with salt black pepper and grill until become crispy. Then, served with mashed Potatoes and yellow mustard on the side. The iberico pork is coated with aromatic glaze and rosemary herbs.

Every bite is so savoury, soft and tender. This dish is delicious and extremely addictive.

Pan-fried Salmon with creamy capers, Spinach RM 48

Fresh Norwegian salmon cooking pan-fried Rock salt and black pepper. Saute the baby spinach with capper creamy sauce and seafood stock , finally garnish the salmon platter with sundried tomatoes.
Healthy salmon for my kiddos that gives them best source of omega-3 fats and proteins. We all enjoy the taste and indeed a filling dish.

Rigatoni Rosticciana Tube Pasta Stewed Iberico Pork Ribs, Tomatoes RM 45:

Delectable pasta served with tender pork ribs. The meat and sauce is flavourful and it was stewed for almost 3 hours!

Vanilla Creme Brulee RM 16Vanilla Crème brûlée Green Lime, the sweet velvety dessert topped with a hard caramel shell, A smooth and creamy custard with a burst of lime citrus. This is one of our absolute favorite desserts. Satisfying Creme Brulee with the crisp and crack top layer.

Bought another deal from LivingSocial for only RM 49 cash voucher for the amount of food to be order up to RM 100. Which means this deal is 50% from the original price which is worth the value at this happening place to dine in. The Pool is located at Jalan Ampang. After you pass by Glean Eagles, you will see BHP Petrol Station on your left. Then, you have to turn right.

We are lead to the second deck, above the pool side area. Actually, my option to have a seat near the pool side, but there is a wedding event going on. Anyway, the dining seat here can view the pool side too.

But the service here is just average. They served with food with the same choices first. What i means by this statement is for this example. Few tables are using the deal voucher as well. But we are the first couple to dine in. The couple seating next to us who just reach, their food is served in just 10minutes! They also order the same thing the chicken sausage wrap.The next food is the burger. All three plates of monster burger for other tables. I got angry and ask one of the waiter. Poor language and i really got mad. Then only come the other two main dish that we have ordered. There is no consistency and they should serve who ever that comes first.

No wonder my stomach is growling now. Too hungry. I reached there at 8pm, takes some time to order my food by 8.15pm , and my food finally reach on my dining table at 9.10PM!

Chicken sausage wrap with side of nachos. (RM 24) Very soft nice chicken sausage wrap and munching on the crispy nachos with great salsa sauce. Waited for more than 40 minutes for our dinner to be served.

Grilled chicken and mixed Potatoes (mushroom sauce) (RM 28). They also have black pepper sauce. Mixed potatoes inclusive of fries and wedges. I like the mushroom sauce. Something different sauce that i tried so far, Blended well with the grilled chicken. Grilled chicken is tasty, marinated with special ingredient.

Sauteed spinach is on the bottom. You can see the salmon is well cooked, and the taste is really delicious.

Pan Fried Salmon RM 40 topped with signature sauce on a bed of sauteed spinach. I still figure out what is the yellow graving there. Looks like mashed potato, but hubby said it tastes like eggs. The salmon is awesome.

This deals is strictly only on item mains, pasta and burgers. Not inclusive of desserts. The green monster looks like a very large portion. The recommended are the ASAHI Beer Fish and Chips. But i prefer the salmon choice.

Not inclusive of light bites. They should have cover up those to avoid confusion.

Option to order fresh juices as this deal does not include any drinks. Not even warm water for FOC. Everything you have to pay for additional drinks.

Hubby enjoying the night. So i should not be mad about the long waited food to be served as today is also a memorable day for us. Its out 3rd anniversary, and my hubby birthday!

Nice view with entertaining techno music

Another side of dining area with comfortable seating

Capture this interesting deco

Kyoto Lab @ The Pool, The Japanese restaurant served good Japanese cuisine. I just pass by and looking at the counter and also people who dine. The food looks really tempting.

Wonderful place to be with your loved one. Will come back for the happy hour session perhaps with live music and great DJs.

Very interesting wedding event is going on, cheerful people with great MC of the nite. Lively techno music, and this place is really happening. I wonder how much it cost to held such event with unlimited beer and wine.

Our total bill is over RM 100. So we just need to top up another RM 6.70. Great deal with good food and environment.

Parking is too expensive. RM 10 per entry and we have to walk for a distance with rocky road. Or rather you have another option to park your car at RM 20 nearer to the entrance. My hubby suggest we can just park at opposite road near the mamak stall.

They also have happy hour session, Ladies entrance fee is free daily, while men need to pay RM 35. They also have event such as pool party.
