Itโs not only Very Pasta, but itโs Vary Pasta.
Often, we would pass by this place but never ventured inside. Once, we even stopped outside to browse the menu, but our stomachs were craving for something Asian.
Today, we finally had lunch at Vary Pasta in Damansara Jaya
How to get to Vary Pasta
Vary Pasta is quietly hidden at the corner along Jalan SS 22/23. If you missed it, itโs just next to Five Fingers | Vegetarian Cafe Damansara Jaya and few doors down from Restaurant Kampung Seafood Parit Jawa.
If youโre driving, you can park on the street parking around or in Atria Shopping Gallery. Thereโs ample parking space in the basement and upper levels of the mall.
Alternatively, you can always Grab to the East Entrance of Atria and then walk up the road to Vary Pasta.
Vary Pasta
From the name, it sounds very much like an Italian restaurant.
Once inside, the decor gives off a very mid-Western and Italian vibe. Like you see in the movies, it has a feeling of nostalgia and oldies vibe.
Menu and Food
Looking at the menu, theyโve an interesting and unique food recommendations. This is not your usual Western food restaurant.
If youโre craving for meat, thereโs Varyโs Recommendation: mix sausage platter, pork gammon steak, roasted pork knuckle, and pork meat loaf. If you want some seafood to go with your meat, thereโs the mix grilled platter (chicken, pork, lamb, sausage, prawns, and mussel).
If you want something European, theyโve German pork sausages and Paella. The German pork sausages are cooked and served in different styles. The Paella, you can have it with chicken mushroom, pork mushroom, or seafood.
And as the name suggests, they also have pasta in various sauces and cooked in variety of styles. The pastas are cooked in garlic sauce, tomato sauce, or creamy and cheesy sauce. If you donโt want to eat with meat, thereโs also vegetarian pasta.
Instead, we chose our food from the set lunch menu. After choosing the main dish, you can choose the sides and drinks. The side is either soup of the day or salad. The drink is either ice lemon tea or tea (hot or cold).
That day, the soup of the day was potato soup.
We had grilled chicken chop served with spaghetti and fries, and pan-seared salmon fillet with butter rice.
You guessed it, itโs Chinese New Year and itโs the Year of the Dragon. As part of our annual CNY family house visitations, we visited one relative in Subang Jaya.
Came evening and it was time for dinner.
How to get to Lan Je Restaurant

There is ample parking space in front and at the back of the restaurant.
It is a decent sized restaurant in a short row of commercial shoplots. It is not hard to miss by itโs bright yellow sign board.
The tables a amply spaced out, so you don’t feel cramped and stuffed inside.
Lan Je Restaurant Menu
What I found amusing was the menu.
Half the menu was priced in $ and the other half priced in Ringgit (RM).
We were debating whether it was US Dollar, Singapore Dollar, or Australian Dollar.
Anyway, thatโs not the point.
We were there for the main attraction.
One Person One Fish
Instead of a table of five people sharing 1 big fish. It is a table of five people with five fishes.
Each person has his or her own fish.
The fish is tilapia fish.
Size-wise, I think it’s the size of a hand or 2 hands together.
Then, you have a choice of either non spicy, normal, or spicy flavour. Some of us had non spicy. Some had it spicy. Some had normal flavour.
Normal flavourSpicy flavour
The spicy fish had more red and green cili than the normal flavoured fish. Even the spiciness of the fish was more.
Along with the fishes, we also ordered prawns, baby kai lan, sweet potato leaves, beancurd, and lala soup as well.
All in all, it was a good experience. Never had a (whole) fish to myself.
