MOTORINO PIZZERIA, SKY AVENUE RESORTS WORLD GENTING

Sky Avenue Resorts World Genting has many restaurants and offers visitors different types of delicious food. You will never go hungry when you visit Sky Avenue. Last week my children and I had our lunch at Motorino Pizzeria. We had the privilege to meet the Belgian-Italian born chef Mathieu Palombino who is the owner of this restaurant. This Brooklyn and East Village pizza place has New York Times food writers hailing it as the best authentic Neopolitan Italian pizza restaurant in New York. These delicious pizzas are made from the Neapoliton-style pizzas from wood ovens imported from Italy. Motorino has three outlets in New York, two in Hong Kong and Manila, one in Singapore and one at Sky Avenue, Malaysia. 

The oven that was imported from Italy is very hot, about 800 - 900 degrees Fahrenheit and pizzas are cooked in 60 - 90 seconds. There is a glass window for visitors to see how the pizzas were being made.

Mathieu Palombino, the owner of Motorino Pizza

Mathieu Palombino explained that all the Motorino pizzas were freshly baked on wood and used the same main ingredients such as tomato paste and olive oil which was flown in from Italy. These Neapolitan pizzas are not crispy pizza crust, they are soft and chewy due to a specific finely milled pure wheat flour with no additives.

These Neapolitan pizzas are 12 inches in diameter, just nice for 1 person. If you are a light eater, you can share it with another person. 

My children and I tried Motorino's Antipasti and pizzas. We loved all the delicious food here. The first dish we tried was the Roasted Chicken Wings.

Roasted Chicken Wings had lemon, mint, chilli flakes and onions - 3 chicken wings for RM 20. These chicken wings were very delicious with the lemon and mint taste. This was my daughter's favorite dish. The chicken wings were nicely marinated and very delicious. I would definitely come back for more.

Motorino Meatballs braised in tomato sauce, pecorino cheese and basil leaves - 3 chicken meatballs for RM 25.  These meatballs were very soft and delicious. 

 Margherita Pizza is made with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, pecorino cheese and extra virgin olive oil. This is suitable for those who love their pizzas without meat - RM 52.

Pepperoni Pizza  is beef pepperoni with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, extra virgin olive oil, fresh chillis, sea salt and pecorino cheese. This was my son's favorite pizza because he loves pepperoni. I had to take away the fresh chillis before giving it to him because the chillis was really hot and spicy - RM 63.

Amatriciana Pizza is also very delicious , made with chicken sausage (which tasted more like minced meat), scallion, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pecorino cheese and fresh chillis - RM 53. 

Motorino also sells Dolci, Gelato for dessert. Different types of drinks such as wine,beer, soft drinks, fresh juice, coffee, tea and smoothies are available.
