So today my boyfriend and I was rounding around SS15, Subang Jaya and we passed by Salute Dining & Wine. It looked so sophisticated and very eye catching that we decided to try it out. They were having a pasta promotion, one pasta w/ drink for RM12 which was affordable and to be honest, a little odd. Considering there wasn't must customers in there, I guess they weren't really good as their exterior looked. Nevertheless, we went in and took our seat. The interior was actually quite nice, lovely oldies playing in the background, the table was set with a small candle in a cup with salt and pepper shakers. Which makes it all seem so romantic in a way.

The waiter was a nice Chinese man with glasses wearing red button down shirt while the rest of the staffs wore green. I'm guessing he must be the owner or manager. My boyfriend and I looked at the menu and the price was okaaaaaay. The drink I bought was like RM5.90 for lemon soda which was actually quite okay comparing to other places. We scrolled through and I picked the Chef's Salad which was RM13 ? I forgot haha. But yeah and my boyfriend ordered the Beef Carbonara Aglio Et Olio promotion set with Coke.

10 minutes later, his pasta arrived. The pungent smell of garlic was so intense that suddenly, we don't feel like trying it anymore. My boyfriend mixed it and tried a bit, it was so...PLAIN. It mostly taste of garlic and oil so he took the pepper and shake so much that I thought maybe he'd just smash it into his pasta, but he didn't haha. He took another bite and it still tasted plain. He was annoyed. About 20 minutes after his pasta came, my salad which normally wouldn't take long, hasn't arrived so we called the waiter. He apologized and said "forgot to key in the salad, would it be okay if you waited for another 5 minutes ? I promise it'll be done by then" I have already waited for 20-30 minutes oR so, I would be wasting my time not having my food and I agreed.

It finally came and it looked decent. It looked really cute stacked up and such however, it was DRENCHED, not drizzled but drenched with balsamic vinegar. I like it but the it really tasted plain. My boyfriend thinks it was over dressed with vinegar so he stayed away. There was garlic bread at the side, it was actually okay with the crunchy bread but I can't take anymore garlic.

In the end, the interior and exterior is nice. A quite place for a nice date however the food can be better. Haven't tried anything else, maybe would bring another friends here since my boyfriend was dead serious about not coming back. The plain pungent taste of that pasta really got him. :/
