Strato & Claret @ Troika Sky Dining

Jessica's 24th Birthday Celebration~ ♥

This is written dedicated for my bestie, Jessica upon her 24th birthday celebration held at the Troika Sky Dining. Troika Sky Dining is divided into three parts - the Cantaloupe French restaurant, the Strato Italian restaurant, and the Claret wine bar.

The Troika is located at Jalan Binjai as a luxury condominium with a few of high-end restaurants operated at the Ground floor. Thereof, the Troika Sky Dining is placed at the highest level of the Tower B, which is exposed to the KL city view.

Claret at the lower level, with a spiral staircase walking towards Strato.
Kindly remind that ladies are advised to wear shorts or
non-flare dress/skirt to avoid unwanted embarrassment. =D 

So, we had a simple birthday dinner at the Strato Italian restaurant. Strato is popular for its homemade pasta and pizza. To secure a table, you have to come earlier as Strato does not accept any reservation except for large parties above 8 guests, with specific deposit required.

Oops, Strato supports human interaction! =O

Strato serves Italian fine cuisine, including the appetisers, mains (pasta, pizza, meat), and the desserts.

  

A basket of bread as appetiser, before the meal.

For the mains, we had their pizza and pasta as it was claimed that Strato is famous for that.

Linguini with crab meat, chili, rocket,
crab sauce and garlic chips. 

Potato gnocchi with braised chicken ragu and shaved cured foei gras.
The gnocchi is a more different kind of pasta which is
very 'flour' in texture, quite a special dish.

Treccine with pesto, prawns, tomato and salami.
Prawns are given in a generous amount! ;D

Pizza with beef prosciutto, sauteed baby spinach,
roasted onion, mozzarella cheese and carbonara sauce.
Beef prosciutto are slight crunchy & the cheese has distinct and strong taste.
Pizza dough is nice especially at the thickest end part. 

Others than these, there are roasted chicken, ribeye steak, and wagyu beef as well, for the meat lovers. xP

Desserts like tiramisu, pistachio cake, and panna cotta are available in Strato. Amongst the list, we had the vanilla dome with white chocolate crumble & brandy sponge as Jessica's birthday cake.

Outer layered white chocolate topped with caramel,
hearted with brandy sponge & served with salted/sweetened peanuts.
Not a bad one, quite special, but the brandy was a bit mild.

Strato's workers were so sweet that they created a romantic ambiance by serving the dessert with all the lights off. =D Candle was lighted up with birthday song sung, a simple yet warm-hearted birthday wish for Jessica.

Make a wish & blow the candle - Dreams come true! x)

After the birthday dinner, we headed downstairs to the Claret wine bar to enjoy our sip of red wine. The wine specialist was so helpful to introduce us which wine to be taken, in accordance to our preferable taste.

This is the one he recommended:
A bit fruity taste, not too strong, not too dry, not too bitter.
