QV – I added her blog to my link so I can bookmark and return often.

Erina – No heartshape la, but after you mentioned, I check and really la, heart shape. Hehehe.

Sheryl – If it is still hard, they probably did not prepare it well. It is not easy to cook risotto using the Italian rice ‘cos one need to stand there and stir none stop. It takes a while to cook. Imagine we cook rice but stand there all the time, to adjust the amount of water and to stir? So, I use orzo ‘cos it is pasta but shaped like rice.

Ho Jiak – Not many restaurants prepare it. None that I find ok. Maybe you can try the Mario Sheryl suggested? It is very, very lemak, certainly not very ‘kuan si’ for me.

In response to Ho Jiak, I had my first taste of risotto at Mario’s in Batu Ferringhi. Can’t say that the taste agreed with me as I was expecting the gooey rice to be soft like porridge. Instead, what I got was rice that is hard on the inside, kinda like half cooked rice. Can anyone out there enlighten me if this is normal?

IS the Risotto can get it at Penang? and is it taste like our normal rice?
