Capers Italian Pasta and Pizzaria

Wednesday was my friend's off day, so we took this opportunity to go on a buffet lunch, and what better way than to have buffet lunch in a high-classed Italian restaurant? For this blog, you are definitely in for a treat, so make sure you have already had your meal before reading this because you will have drooling hazards! XD

This be the signboard and the entrance to Capers, which is just next door to Le Taj Restaurant. They don't have a signboard outside the building, so this will have to do. This used to be a Japanese restaurant called Chopstix (which I think tastes so much better than Excapade), but it went bankrupt so then it was replaced with this.

This be the inner signboard of Capers, which my friend suddenly had the urge to photograph.




This be the interior of the restaurant. They have a counter for serving drinks and then there are window view seats just like in Le Taj. When we went in, there was already a group of teens there eating, probably to celebrate the coming school hols. And while we were waiting to be served, MJ audio mix songs were playing in the background. LOL!

This be the menu. It is arranged in a way where they're following the style of Italians eating, the prima and secondary or whatever it was called. According to my friend, basically Italians eat a more or less 2 major meal course, first one being mostly pizza, then the second one would be mostly pasta. In fact, Italians have been known to eat a lot. I dunno about breakfast, but they eat lunch all the way till near dinner, then go out to bars where they order a drink and have some munchies from a buffet table, then after that they'll decided where to have dinner. My goodness! That's one heckuva gluttony! Either that or maybe because Italian families and friends are usually big in groups and everyone is technically eating a small portion of everything

Since we went for the buffet, it's basically we can order anything we want, as long as it is pizza and pasta (not ala carte meals), and we can choose whether to eat in small portion or in full-size portion. Definitely we chose small portion since we need the stomach to fill it in. Below is what we ordered:

Lasagna. Nice, cheesy, chewy, Garfield would definitely love it, especially the cheesy goodness
Fettucini with cheese and bacon strips, I think. Technically we didn't order that, and probably the waiter who took our order heard it wrong, but what the hey, we just ate it anyways, and wow, that is really some cheese~!



Hearty Char pizza and another pizza that had something like 4 kinds of cheese in it, I think. You can literally taste the blue cheese and have fun with pulling strings of cheese along with it as you take a slice of nice warm pizza. It's in small portion, of course, and it's kinda crispy. More like eating a piece of pie than a piece of pizza

Fettucini with baby clams and seafood. The clams were really baby; the size of the meat was small, but it still tastes good, as the seafood, you can tell it's fresh and not the one that you have to defrost forever to cook

Spaghetti Mia, with cheese and tomato sauce and all the works, oh, and a hint of basil as well. Could taste that because I've tasted it before on my food when we were at Aqil Shafiee

The Italian Job pizza, which pretty much explains it. Though my friend said that adding pineapples on pizza was actually an American invention, and a true Italian hates pineapples on their pizza. For me, I hate the olives. I don't like them, so I gave it all to my friend
Ravioli, which basically looks like mini dumplings drowned in tomato sauce, and it even had fillings in it, which taste pretty good. But small portion is really small. Only 3 pieces of ravioli, not exactly enough for everyone

Talleghatti (sp?) with salmon, which is basically green fetuccini with cheese and nice fresh salmon, though eating it makes us think of Japanese, because it really has that fresh Japanese salmon taste to it

There you have it. I hope you didn't dehydrate from drooling! XD When we made our last order, the waiter was like confirming whether it's our last order, seemingly wanting to get rid of us. But can't blame them, it was almost the end of buffet lunch anyways. So if you wanna have a high-classed buffet, go ahead and give this a shot. It's only $14.90 for adults and $7.50 for children, though it starts at 10am and ends at 2.30pm, so be there in time to enjoy it ^^
