We get so busy at work that sometimes, well to be perfectly honest, almost all the time, we select to eat out rather than cook. Just tuckered out after a long, long day. The good thing is there are so many great spots to eat in KL.
We had hankering for some good pizza. Now Heidi, having been raised in East Wenatchee, uses Abby’s as the gold standard, so we had a challenge finding something that would satisfy her. Close to where Heidi gets her hair done we found this little place called Mikey’s New York Pizza. Seems Mikey came to KL from New Jersey. Started working in advertising, tried his hand a writing a children’s book and then decided to open a restaurant….thus Mikey’s NY Pizza was born. There are about 12 tables, some indoors, some out. Pictures of New York City adorn the walls. You order at the counter and take a street name plate back to your table. Nine varieties of pizza are offered…traditional NY, Meatball, Hawaiian, The Tony Soprano (full of meat, argh, argh) BBQ Chicken, Buffalo Chicken, Mama’s wild mushroom pizza (with Shiitake, oyster and portobello mushrooms, The 911 Pizza (spiciest in Asia) and Pizza Bianco (goat cheeses). Also on the menu are some amazing Waffle Fries…like the Manhatten (Waffle Fries covered with thinly sliced steak, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and cool ranch dressing….OMG) And they carry only one type of beer, Budweiser!!!! We’ve been three times….if we go any more we’re going to have to loosen the belts!!!!

Last week we went to our new favorite area, Changkat Bukit Bintang and tried Pinchos Spanish Tapas Bar. Ordered a delicious bottle of Spanish Wine and ordered three tapas, plus several baskets of fresh Italian bread and a bottle of water!!!! The tapas were just amazing….our favorite were these cut-up potatoes in a blue cheese sauce. The meatballs were served in this tastebud popping red sauce…we used a basket of bread just mopping up every last drop. Great atmosphere, we sat, ate, drank and just enjoyed each other’s company for several hours…then we got another foot massage.
