PickNik Revisited

Recently we revisited PickNik to have a late lunch there. By happy coincidence, Chef Nik Michael Imran was 'in the house'. So it was a great combination of good food, friendly conversation and a relaxed ambience all round.

I started with a mocktail of Strawberry Daiquiri; a most delicious blended mixture of strawberries, grenadine and sweet & sour lemon lime. My Seafood Risotto was just the right combination of soft and smooth saffron risotto with prawn, calamari and mussels in tomato sauce.

A had a Prawn Olio Spaghetti; aglio olio paired with succulent prawns and chilli flakes. (Of course I 'dipped' into her pasta dish! Yum yum!)

My dessert was the prettiest Bread and Butter Pudding I have ever seen. It was most deeelicious. So also A's Pandan Creme Brulee - gula melaka bruleed on top and served with Bounty coconut ice-cream.

PickNik's take on the traditional creme brulee is a definite winner. (No wonder a Frenchman was horrified, as told to us by Chef Nik Michael. He cannot accept that a pandan creme brulee, which he must think is desecrate of the original, can be so, so delicious!)

Note:
PickNik Comfort Food Cafe is at A4-UG1-05, Publika Solaris Dutamas, Jalan Dutamas 1, Kuala Lumpur.

May be slightly difficult to find at first in the Publika maze, but find it you will. And it will be well worth it.
