Coconut House @ Jaya One

Read wood, Real food, Feel good..

Coconut House is an Italian restaurant relocated at Jaya One, which I believe that blog readers would find out that it has changed to few locations before and eventually resumed its business here, by the owner who is actually a successful writer cum editor, Mr Zhuang Ruo.

There's few tables setting outside..

What are so special about Coconut House in my first impression?

1. Food are cooked with the woodfire.

2. Their food tastes original, fresh, and homemade (thereof, shud be healthier with lesser ajinomoto; for those who prefer stronger taste might dislike).

3. More food choices & able to get some different food here (ie. hardly seen in other restaurants, like pizza with fruits or coconut? =O).

4. They have magazines sharing the same name - 'Coconut House'. But.. I think they are irrelevant! xD

Well, had some brief introduction for this dining place, let's move our attention to its ambiance and environment. Locating at Jaya One might seem to be quieter, but I actually love it as I like the relaxing and peaceful environment of the restaurant. Coconut House looks retro with all the woods decoration & you could feel closer to the nature with their plant decorations too hehe..

There's rack storing all the red wines.

The menu contains of the set lunch, a la carte items, soups & salads, beverages, desserts, and the set dinner. Basically, it is worthwhile to have the set meals as they come along with a drinks and even cheaper than having them in a la carte.

In addition, Soup/Salad of the day could be added on to the set lunch with an additional price of RM 6.90.

Minestrone soup with beans, onion, potato, celery, carrot, tomatoes, Zucchini & peas.
This is totally a soup with all the healthy greens & it tastes great for tomato lovers.

Sausage tomato bean soup with homemade Italian sausage, Basil, tomatoes &
chickpea. Chickpeas are a lot that u could get it in every sip.

For the caesars salad, it was a disappointment as it was too salty. This is probably due to the Worcestershir sauce used as its salad dressing, I would prefer if it is watering down a bit.

Caesars salad with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, crouton, parmesan,
egg, anchovies & Worcestershir sauce.

For small plate of appetiser or snacks before your mains, you could have:

Roasted mushroom with garlic, breadcrumbs, red chilli, Italian parsley & parmesan.
Mushroom is well roasted and tastes better with all the accompaniments.

Potatoes with rosemary

For the main meals, set lunch is considerably cheap as you can get the cheapest set lunch @ RM7.90 only - the Zucchini Frittata. Sandwiches, pasta and pizza are available at reasonable price too. They taste good & even though they are priced lower, the quality did not subsequently lowered down. ;D

Zucchini Frittata is an Italy's version of open-face omelette,
comprises of egg, zucchini, basil & tomatoes; served with house salad.

Lemon & rosemary chicken fettuccine is the pasta comes along with the
chicken breast marinated with rosemary, fresh lemon juice & Italian parsley.
This is something tastes like carbonara.  

Penne with Italian sausage is made up of red onion, tomato,
homemade Italian pork sausage, rosemary, whipping cream & parmesan.
The main attention of this pasta is the homemade Italian pork sausage,
fresh, juicy, but a bit salty.

Mushroom spaghetti with a lot of mushroom, tomato,
onion, rosemary & whipping cream.

Going coconut pizza is a pizza with no tomato sauce,
but with mozzarella, coconut kernel & gula melaka.
This is special in the sense that it was my first time having coconut kernel
on a pizza, not bad but a bit dry for me to finish it all. 

Rocket & Italian sausage pizza consists of tomato sauce, Italian sausage,
basil, olive, mozzarella, and rocket. P/S: We hate rocket! ><
This pizza is ok, but we prefer normal pizza crust with nicer smell after oven-ed,
maybe it is done on the woodfire, therefore can't get normal pizza crust kind of result.

Pork chop with Gorgonzola sauce is an oven roasted pork chop made with Gorgonzola 
sauce, parmesan, cream & white wine. The sauce is nice as it is creamy & cheesy
(tastes like blue cheese) while the pork chop is well roasted up to a chewy level.

Drinks like green tea, lemon tea, honey lemon comes together with the set meal; otherwise you could grab some other Coconut House's signature drinks like coconut blended and orange lemon lime from the menu.

Hot green tea

Iced lemon tea

Iced honey lemon

Coconut blended

Orange lemon lime

A satisfactory meal doesn't seem complete without a dessert. And so, Coconut House has desserts like cakes, tiramisu, pudding, etc.. Reading other blogs' recommendation has tempted me to try the baked pear with red wine, but all the time I went there it was unavailable. =( So, i got to choose from those they have ready-made.

Ricotta cheese cake is similarly baked with the woodfire oven.
It is a cheese cake that is not so greasy, but its cheese smells terrible for me. =X

Tiramisu is perfect with its marscapone cheese, kahlua, sponge finger & espresso.
This is suitable for those who prefer tiramisu in a more moisture texture.

Having few times dining experience at Coconut House, it is not bad as they serve nice food, but not to say very best. It has a cozy and comfortable environment, with friendly waitresses and most importantly, the food are more of a healthier concept as they are roasted with the woodfire and freshly homemade.
