The quirky name of this restaurant-bar in one of the premier serviced apartments located at the heart of Kula Lumpur is enough for me to be interested. Who would not be enticed with 7atenine? I think it’s pretty neat name for a chill-out place. Glad I found time to drop by during my solo-3D2N-visit in Malaysia’s capital.
Before your imagination soars high, I didn’t drown myself into spirits nor alcohol at 7atenine. I passed up sampling one of their beverages because number 1, I think it’s too much as I already had from the other bar (blog post HERE!) and number 2, I’m not alcoholic anyway. I mean, I need not explain myself but I only drink on rare occasions and of course, during social gatherings (Now, I remember those days back home when I was frequently invited for events like wine & food pairing. Ahhhhh, the perks of blogging!).
“7atenine is an award winning International restaurant & supperclub where ‘you never know who you’ll meet’.

Sevenspoons dining on the mezzanine & the Supperclub on the ground floor. Cosmopolitan cuisine is complemented by a premium range of alcoholic beverages ranging from champagnes, wines, cocktails by our award winning mixologists to local & imported beers and liquor. pulsating retro remixes and house beats permeate the atmosphere cementing 7atenine as a firm favourite amongst chic night birds.” ~Sourced from their website : www.soulsociety.com.my/7atenine
Doesn’t it look like a great place to chill out, savor the good house music and indulge? With only my appetite in tow and with no reservation which I don’t promote, I brought my feet to 7atenine and enjoyed a couple of choices from their menu.
Linguini Seafood, RM39++ (USD 12.75++ ). Tossed with sautéed scallops, prawns, mussels & squid.
One word : DELICIOUS!
Despite a number of must-try-entrees from 7atenine’s menu, I knew I was craving for something like seafood pasta. And bingo! They have Linguini Seafood on their list. The pasta’s al dente; the dish was perfectly tossed with non-greasy oil and my favorites from the sea. The entire plate was wonderfully seasoned. I was a happy diner! 
With nothing in mind to wash everything down but cold water, I also ordered a dessert. And I thought Lady Luck was really on my side because I spotted another personal favorite from the list of sweets.
Mango Sticky Rice. RM19++ (USD 6.21 ). Steamed glutinous rice, served with mango & Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream.
One word : HEAVENLY!
*This Luxurious Kuala Lumpur Blog Series includes :
What I remembered from the invite they sent in pdf via email and a printout form was the phrase that made me smile ear to ear : “if you wish, you may order other stuff.” I forgot to memorize the phrase that came before it (“After the platter,” ) toinks!!! We came earlier at Hard Rock Cafe that Saturday evening than our fellow blogger-buddies, thus my family and I were done with the last meal of the day earlier too. I immediately emailed Ms. Danielle Fung of HRHP to explain and verify everything after our sumptuous dinner. And I must say, they’re really generous. Everything’s waived and we didn’t pay a single ringgit. 
SEAFOOD CAESAR SUPREME, regular PhP 395+ (large PhP 445+). Traditional Caesar salad topped with fried calamari and grilled shrimps, crabmeat and parmesan cheese. I so love its ingredients but I wished they could have added more dressing into it. I didn’t ask for more but should I?
SUPREME SAMPLER, regular PhP 395 (large PhP 595 +). A combination of Buffalo wings, Sta Fe spring rolls, mozzarella sticks and onion rings. My wife likes the spicy hot Buffalo wings which are served with celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing. This platter also has deep fried onion rings coated with seasoned mix, served with ranch dressing which I personally like. Another inclusive in the plate are mozzarella sticks which are Gabby’s favorite.
But this restaurant’s people are really exceptional; well-trained.
PIZZA SAMPLER, regular PhP 375+ (large PhP 475+). My son has been biased with QUATTRO FORMAGGI or four cheese pizza but there was none on their menu, so we had the sampler instead, which is a combination of 2 to 4 pizza flavors of your choice. For Gabby, we ordered MARGHERITA in half serving, with mozzarella and parmesan in fresh tomato sauce, less the basil leaves and the other half we tried FRUTTE DE MARE topped with shrimps, calamari, mussels, bell pepper rings and onions. We like any pizza that’s stone-baked, so we give this Pizza Sampler our two-thumbs-up! 
MISSISSIPI MUD PIE, PhP 155+. The plating and the mud pie itself are enticingly divine!
The sandwich and the pasta was made better with what else but Century Corned Tuna. 
I was fortunate to be invited via e-mail last week as one of the (self-proclaimed) foodies and food bloggers to this event (Yes, this blog remains to be about my family and our adventures beyond dining!). My participation was upgraded to the next level when I was asked (via e-mail again) if I can sit as one of the…ehem, judges. 
The contest was lively hosted by celebrities JM Rodriguez and QTV 
Fusilli in olive oil highlighted by the main ingredient plus tomatoes and parmesan. 
BAKED ZITI, PhP 150+. Simply flavorful. I always like melted cheese on tomato sauce. Our son even dipped his bread sticks on this serving.
PEPERRONI STROMBOLI, PhP 110+ It comes with a dip of stewed tomatoes and herbs.
BREADSTICKS, Complimentary 
BUCATINI AMATRICIANA, PhP 250+ (bacon, tomato and onion sauce).
QUATTRO FORMAGGI, PhP 250+ (mozzarrella plus 3 different kinds of cheese; tomato based).
POLLO ALLA DIAVOLA , 1/2 PhP 280+(grilled chicken breast with herbs and chili).
TIRAMISU : GELATO CAKE, PhP 170+
MOZZARELLA and MUSHROOM RAVIOLI, PhP 116+
CHORIZO and TOMATO RAVIOLI, PhP 116 +
Last Saturday, after a quick stop at my folks’ place in Pasig, I brought my family -Tina and Gabby to Eastwood Mall in Libis, Quezon City. Look how crisp the interiors of the Eastwood Mall is…
Other than having those functional and stylish lounges, Eastwood Mall boasts of having mall butlers clad in black suits who’ll offer to carry your paper bags throughout the duration of your shopping. Although we haven’t bought anything yet from our previous visits there LOL 
If my taste buds served me right, the mango and cheese combo in IWO JIMA pizza was also mixed with cubes of chicken teriyaki and sesame seeds. It’s so flavorful enough for you to forget worries of daily living, lol 
Another must-try from the menus of either Sumo Sam, John and Yoko and Mr. Kurosawa, are the 3 -colored-iced teas.. They’re in green (lime), red (calamansi), and my favorite – in blue (dalandan)…
They’re refillable until whatever volume you can handle at PhP 108.
TEGAMINO DI FORMAGGIO FUSO : Grilled cheeses, thin Sardinian flatbread , PhP 213.00
