Gahhh... never mind, lunch it is then.
Judging from this R5-D4 (or R15-D10???) poking out of our bread basket, yep, we were checking if this place is naughty-kid friendly.
Bread's not bad.
Starters.
I wouldn't have ordered this. I generally don't order anything "chicken breast", but SC made a wise decision that a basic salad is necessary to feed our naughty monster. This salad might look unfancy (I know, it is not a word), but it's absolutely delicious! Tangy, tasty, crisp fresh veggies, tender juicy chicken, etc etc etc. YUM.
I had the foie-gras pate (yes, I can't not order anything foie). Lovely. It's a little on the sweet side but the crispy toast that came with it gave it the savory balance.
Nyammmmm.
Lobster jelly. Creamy, tasty, sweet-seafoody, delicious!
Chestnut veloute. Rich, creamy... I love.
French onion soup. Not bad la...
The mains..
I ordered this prawn with venere rice (I called it udang with ketan hitam heheheh) - thanks for the recommendation, Dan! It's TASTY!
Chicken breast stuffed with foie. Whoa... I don't order chicken breast and must order foie... what to do when faced with a dish like this? Hmm... get others to order it so I could have a (lotsa) taste(s). Heheheheh. It's good!
Most of us favorited the "special main of the day", the beef cheek. So tender but not mushy, and very flavorful. Perfect.
SC had the camembert. Hmm... I prefer the dessert.
Chocolate ganache and raspberry marmalade. I love anything dark chocolate.
I had the white chocolate fruity dessert. Fruity and refreshing, and OB stole most of it.
In case you were wondering why there was no "happy birthday" anything, well... it's not that I said "oh, no need, no need" because I was shy (are you kidding? I love birthday commotions in restaurants and for photo purposes - I am shallow and childish like that), but thanks to SC who forgot to say it's a birthday celebration, we didn't have one.
Never mind. SC paid for the meal - that is more important than anything else hehehheee.
Thanks, SC!
A special mention to service - it's slow and clumsy, servers don't explain much of anything (but to be fair, we didn't ask also ), servers don't know who ordered what, we had to follow up for the cheese platter- which then came much later than the desserts, and the server (and manager?) looked a bit too annoyed by naughty OB (but why not have no-kid policy then?).
Anyway, I love the food, and I'd go back for it - and I won't bring OB ^_^'
