I discovered All-Star Sports when my Scottish friend and I decided to have lunch at Midvalley Megamall. As the name suggests, it’s a sports cafe with giant TV screens and pool tables where sports fans congregate over a few beers. Presumably the bulk of their business would be after hours. But surprisingly, they’re also open for lunch.

My all-time favorite is their Fettucine Alfredo that’s practically swimming in this fabulous cream sauce, complete with shredded oyster mushroom, ham strips and olives. Trust me, it’s one of the best fettucine alfredos I’ve ever tasted. Don’t look at the price and don’t let the word ‘fattening’ enter your mind and you’re on your way to culinary heaven!

Their Pasta Ai Fungi is a lighter, vegetarian version with spaghetti and a mountain of black and oyster mushrooms. It’s less saucy than the Alfredo but has a distinct mushroomy fragrance.

For the non-pasta fans, they have a great Crispy Chicken with Rice. The onion and deep-fried chicken chunks cooked in sweet-sour sauce gives it a great crunch. Very nice.

My perception has always been that the food can’t be all that good at sports cafes. But All-Star has convinced me otherwise. They’re on the ground floor of Midvalley, just across from Starbucks.
