COCONUT HOUSE

The name Coconut House conjures a picture of tropical cuisine but tonight's Flat World dinner at this venue was simply delightful ! Coconut House is in actual fact an Italian Restaurant tucked away at the newly opened 3 Two Square in Section 14, Petaling Jaya. Their specialties are woodfired Pizza , Cabonara and Tiramisu. Just speaking to the boss Mr Yong about the spread he had for us tonight , I could feel his passion for food and his many "secret" recipes which he has created.
The place has a nice warm ambience , and can easily cater at least 100 people for a private function. Simple dining furniture and also a cozy sitting area to relax.

The spread tonight was really sumptuous and abundant!

Minnestrone Soup - light , nice but would have been better if it is hot - can't be helped I suppose if served for buffet.

Mixed Vegetable salad- very fresh , served with salad dressing.

Garlic bread - nice bite size , could do with more garlic and salted butter. Would prefer them more crispy too.
The Spaghetti was served with 2 choice of sauces. I loved the white cream sauce with mushroom - very rich and the thyme adds a nice flavor to it. Very very nice......

The other sauce is the Pomodoro which is made from fresh tomatoes , basil and parmesan. I find it a bit watery but it is a nice change from the rich Bolognaise.

I loved the Pizza! The thin crust is fluffy and nice but because of the long hours at the buffet, it was a bit soft otherwise I can imagine the taste right from the oven!All the pizzas are woodfired.

Mushroom Pizza
Margarita Pizza
Hawaian Pizza

Chicken Carciatoca
Stewed chicken with tomatoes,rosemary ,mushroom,white wine and capsicum.Chicken was tender and tasty , served with roasted potatoes ...YUMMY! This can be ordered ala carte !
This is the BEST lamb ever! Stewed Lamb shoulder. Tender and juicy , the rosemary flavor is so soooooo delicious - definitely must eat this again ...and again! Secret? The lamb is slow cooked overnight ...I am so in love with rosemary now....! A five star dish !
