Dinner at Bonta Vita
It's been so long since I've had a catch up with the girls. We decided to go to Bonta Vita on George Street. They specialise in Malaysian/Italian Cuisine.
We ordered an entree of 3 different dips with toasted baguette. It came with Hommus, Baba Ganush and Guacomole. It was a nice entree. I'm normally used to seeing a bigger entree but it was just enough for the 3 of us.
The mains came out a few minutes after the entree. We ordered Chicken Ritza and a Spicy Beef Ritza. A Ritza is basically Roti which has pizza toppings inside. It was a bit oily but very tasty. We also ordered a curry tasting plate and an Eggplant Sambal. The tasting plate came with a beef, chicken and lamb curry. The beef curry was very salty and the pieces were very big for a tasting plate. The chicken and lamb curries had just the right amount of spice.
The eggplant sambal was so mouth watering. I didn't know whether this would be too spicy for me but it was just right. A bowl of rice would have been good with it. As you can see I was so into it that I forgot to take a photo.
We didn't order dessert because when I made the booking I told them that it was Eileen's birthday. I didn't know that they were going to make such a big deal out of this. They ended up turning the lights out and singing happy birthday. Out came a plate with 3 different kinds of gelato for the 3 of us to enjoy.
Overall Bonta Vita was a nice restaurant. Although a little pricey with mains starting at $18.00, the combination of Malaysian and Italian cuisine will attract a lot people.

Thanks for the free gelato Bonta Vita. We will definitely be back soon.
