Aposto

Aposto is a neighbourhood restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail run by chef-patron Chu Wei Sin, who has nearly 20 years in professional kitchens. The open kitchen is the centrepiece, and the counter seats give you a close view of the cooks at work.

The cooking is modern Italian, made with good imported produce, and the menu changes about twice a year. Pasta is made in-house. Recent dishes include duck tagliatelle braised in red wine, pumpkin agnolotti with brown butter, and saba on toasted ciabatta. The slow-braised beef short rib is a favourite. Plates are designed to share, and there is a sensible wine list with alcohol-free options too.

It suits a date night or a small group of friends who enjoy cooking that tries something new. Book ahead, and allow some time to find parking in TTDI.
