Arista @ Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya

These past few days have been sweltering and I for one am hoping that the weather will improve soon. I think my air-conditioner is even having problems keeping up with the heat. Just this past Sunday, a few friends and I popped by Tropicana City Mall for lunch after church.  While deciding where to eat, Arista Bar & Grill caught our eye. It had a series of set lunches and each only cost RM13 with the next one getting 50% off! We were sold!

I forgot to take a picture of the place, so I stole this off Google images.

The group of us trucked in and looked over the set lunch menu. You get a main, a drink and dessert for your set and it seems that the mains change from time to time. Staff was pretty prompt, and our orders were taken as soon as we were ready. Though there were quite a number of us, we didn't order all the choices on the set menu, instead preferring to go with a choice of the following, Mushroom Fried Rice, Mexican Chicken Chop, Pan Fried Dory Fish with Salsa and Turkey Ham Cream Sauce Pasta.

Pan Fried Dory Fish with Salsa - Tasty and Fresh

 

Mushroom Fried Rice - Didn't get to try this but my friend said it was alright.
Personally I would have preffered a runny yolk on that egg.

Turkey Ham Cream Sauce Pasta - Tasted Nice, and the flavour was good.

Mexican Chicken Chop

I ordered the Mexican Chicken Chop. First thing that came to my mind as I saw it was "There is no Mexican on this plate.". It looks like I pretty nicely breaded chicken chop and all, but there is nothing Mexican about this dish. The breading on the outside is nice and crispy but the inside is dry. Nothing juicy about this Mexican Chicken Chop at well, although the flavour wasn't too bad.

Dry Chicken!

With the mains out of the way, it was time for dessert!

Chocolate Cake with Coffee sauce

Nothing to shout about here. Cake tasted alright but was dry and had some red colour sauce (on the cake so you can't see it) on it which we couldn't  identify. Overall it came up to about RM10 each inclusive of tax and after discount. The experience was So-so over all and it wasn't exactly mind blowing food, but I think it was pretty worth it for the price.
