Relish fresh Japanese oysters and 'Tokyo-Italian' style pasta at Solaris Mont Kiara's Kakiya Umihiko
KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — Started in January this year, Kakiya Umihiko at Solaris Mont Kiara has been on my radar for some time.You also have their"Tokyo-Italian" style cuisine that stretches to pastas, risotto, appetisers, main dishes and desserts.
When they first opened, they kicked off with a promotion for their Oyster and Mushroom Ajilo for a mere RM5 versus RM59 on the current menu. That certainly got the attention of diners. The second set lists down oysters from Itoshima at Fukuoka Prefecture, Matsumoto at Nagano Prefecture and Konagai at Nagasaki Prefecture.There's also an oyster of the day. Prices range from RM15 to RM35 per piece. The platter has six pieces but you only pay for five oysters as they throw in one oyster for free.
Out of the three types I sampled , I really enjoyed the Tokushima oysters for its creamy, milky texture with a nice briny taste. The twist is the use of soy sauce to give it a slight saltiness rather than the stronger tasting anchovies. It's a mild tasting dish that is ideal for sharing and mopping up all that olive oil with bread.
The menu offers a selection of olive oil, tomato or cream-based pastas. The types of pastas range from spaghetti, linguine, pappardelle, bucatini and penne. As the place is pork free, they swapped bacon in the Carbonara for smoked duck for an umami, salty hit of flavour. As it's a Carbonara style approved by the Italians, don't expect your pasta to be drowning in cream.
If you're watching your wallet, sample their lunch set to get a feel of the Tokyo-Italian flavours and whether it suits your taste buds. It's available from Tuesday to Saturday.
