Best Risotto in KL

Written by Updated ago

With only a handful of ingredients (Arborio or Carnaroli rice are commonly used here, along with broth of your choice, vegetables/seafood, fresh herbs and cheese), whipping up a risotto is supposed to be an easy dish to make at home. But beneath its deceiving simplicity, risotto requires a lot of patience and proper skill to make this right. The rice needs to be stirred constantly, or you’ll risk sticking at the bottom of the pot and burn. Like pasta, the key to a good risotto is al dente. Not too mushy or starchy. If homemade risotto sounds like a chore, you can always savour them at the Italian restaurant. Here’s where you can find them around KL.

    Strategically located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Zenzero (which means “ginger” in Italian) offers an array of fine-dining Italian cuisine. If you’re here for risotto, opt for their squid ink risotto. Risotto is richly flavoured and coloured with the blackness of squid ink. It’s a robust combination, and perfectly paired with a few tender chunks of grilled marinated calamari.

    At Tujo, seafood risotto is the only risotto dish offered in the menu. Even so, it does not disappoint. The Arborio rice is perfectly al dente, with the right bite and texture in its grains. The tanginess of the tomato broth complements well with the savoury risotto. The mixed seafood (cuttlefish, prawns and scallops) are both fresh and juicy, while basil pesto helps enhance the overall flavour.
    Tips

    Look out for their set lunch promotion.

    Things to expect

    Apart from serving food and drink, Tujo also provides plenty of table games such as Bottlecaps, Five Stones and The Pencil Race.

    At La Scala, all food is made from scratch and freshly cooked upon order. Best of all, they insist on using top-quality ingredients imported from Italy to ensure their range of Italian dishes are as authentic as they get. Risotto is one of them. Among the selection here is Risotto al Radicchio, on which they favor organic Carnaroli rice over the regular version. The rice is cooked with chopped radicchio (a type of leaf vegetable), and enhanced with a wonderfully pungent aroma of Tallegio cheese.
