Nestled away among the bustling shop lots of Jalan Telawi 3, Fittie Sense is a healthy hidden treasure compared to the sinful eateries on the ground level.
The interior of the restaurant is very cozy and homely. A translucent roof makes for a great source of natural light during the day. Upon visiting this lovely little nom-station, you would see the patrons are the young and hip people of society. So, if you feel that you are young in body or mind, you’d fit right in!
My food of choice this time around was the Beef Rendang with Cauliflower Rice.
Eating this dish was a culinary experience on its own as each individual part was not the best tasting. The cauliflower rice tasted very raw on its own. On the other hand, the Beef Rendang was too aromatic and tasted too much of spice (but it wasn’t too spicy).
However, what made this dish worth writing about was when I mixed the two together. Though individually, the two plates were mediocre. Combined, they became amazing. The bland, rawness of the Cauliflower Rice balanced the spice-overdose that the rendang was. In the end, it was the perfect balance of flavour and texture.
However, the dish still had room for improvements. Firstly, for the price of RM 32 for the dish, I think the beef cut should have been fattier for a better flavour/texture combination. Of course, as this was a health-conscious restaurant, I can understand the cut would be low-fat. My second recommendation would be adding some yogurt on the side. A bit of yogurt will help balance out the strong flavours of the rendang. Mixing yogurt with the cauliflower rice could also make it taste creamier.
For my drink, I had their Fittie Coffee. It was their take on the ‘Bulletproof Coffee’. For the fat in the coffee, they used coconut oil. The coffee was well made. I felt more energetic and content after taking it.
My friend had a very interesting dish. Fittie Sense’s Zoodles are noodles made out of zucchinis. Personally, I am not fond of zucchinis so I didn’t try that dish. However, it is interesting to note that the Zoodles seemed to be raw. So, it felt like the Zoodles are more of a salad rather than a noodle dish.
Overall, I will give Fittie Sense a 7/10 ! It is a great healthy culinary experience in the heart of Bangsar. The prices are a bit high but it is sort of expected in this area. Fittie Sense is also quite good for those with gluten sensitivities as there are a lot of gluten-free options.
