(Visited on April 30)I found myself back at malca once again. The fact that I can enjoy a la carte makes it feel relaxed and nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also delightful. On this day, I ordered a variety of dishes without hesitation, yes (^◇^;).- From Yamako: Bluefin Tuna, Burrata Cheese, Bruschetta (JPY 3400) - This is a classic here, and I just can’t resist ordering it. So far, this dish has been a staple for me (^^;;).- Mackerel Carpaccio with Eggplant and Bell Pepper Sauce, Pickled Cucumber (JPY 3800) - I switched to mackerel since it overlapped with the swordfish I planned to order later. The flexibility here is fantastic.- Chilled Capellini with HAL Caviar from Shizuoka Prefecture (JPY 9800) - This dish is pricey, but I can’t help but order it. It pairs perfectly, and it’s not just caviar for the sake of it.- Hand-made Squid Ink Tagliolini with Hamo and Sweet Long Peppers from Narutoozaki Fisheries (JPY 4200) - I don’t usually eat squid ink pasta, but this one is perfectly seasoned and incredibly delicious.- Risotto with Swordfish and Karasumi from Narutoozaki Fisheries (JPY 4200) - This is undeniably delicious. I could eat it any time of day (^◇^;).- Kobe Beef Bolognese Hand-made Tagliatelle from Yamazaki in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture (JPY 4200) - To truly experience the amazing taste of the pasta here, I recommend the tagliatelle. The noodles are fantastic, and the Kobe beef bolognese is a classic dish I hadn’t ordered much before, but it’s a must-try—absolutely stunning in flavor!- New Zealand Suffolk Hogget Loin (JPY 9800) - The main dish is hogget! The name alone is enough to win me over (^◇^;). It’s a sheep that’s between lamb and mutton, and it has just the right amount of flavor and texture. The two cuts had completely different tastes; the chunk was incredibly tender, sweet, and had zero gamey taste, while the longer cut had a bit more chew and a rustic lamb aroma. I even savored the bone, and it was perfect! By the way, the grilled zucchini on the side was also outstanding!- Panna Cotta (JPY 1200) - It was so smooth, truly mesmerizing in its deliciousness. This might be the first time I ordered it, but it’s a must-have.So, in the end, I ordered two appetizers, four pasta dishes, a main course, and dessert—definitely more than a typical course (^^;;), but since I was able to choose freely from the a la carte menu, my appetite was fully engaged. I could probably eat even more (^◇^;). A la carte is definitely the way to go.Once again, everything was delicious and enjoyable! Next time, I might declare a "Pasta Festival" and try 6-7 different types of pasta (^◇^;). It was a great meal!
