Anniversary


We went to this popular French restaurant in the city. The moment we walked in a girl in coat greeted us and took our coats. Then asked for our names and walked us up to our seats. I was really impressed on the warmth of their welcoming; it is something I don’t usually experience.

Then the same lady prepared our table. As she prepares our table she talks about the restaurant – like their chefs, their specialty, where the restaurant originated from and many more. Funny though I can’t remember a thing she said, probably because I was busy checking out the place… the place was just average though the Swarovski crystals and the lightings did set a somewhat special mood.

I must say the service is top class. And then I thought, maybe they’re popular because of their service. But then it all changed when I had my first canapé - it was delicious! The waitress gave us a brief introduction of the canapé but I wasn’t interested, I was ogling around understanding the arrangement of the place. It was indeed a first class restaurant.

Anyway, the starter – canapé, was very nice. My wife and I tried to understand what’s in it but we can’t seem to work it out. All we know is it’s a pretty good canapé.

Then the same lady walked towards us and talked about their menu and how it was set. She did mention a couple of specials. I don’t know what’s in the heads of the chefs of these first class restaurants, their menu is always hard to pronounce! Anyway, I ordered their wagyu special while the Mrs ordered some tuna. By the way I’m using layman’s language to describe what we ordered as I can’t work out their proper names.

For entrée I ordered baby rabbit, I was told that it was their signature dish, and the Mrs had some cuttlefish. We didn’t order dessert yet as we wanted to take time enjoying our meals.

After taking our orders a waitress walked to us and gave us some freshly baked breads. Just like the canapés, they're pretty good breads. Maybe because they were freshly baked or maybe the rosemary or whatever you call the green stuffs toppings makes it yummy – I couldn’t careless, they were good!

Then we were offered wine. As much as I wanted to have some but I’m driving so I have to say no. Besides my wife just got back from a surgery and she’s not allowed to have any alcohol.

I don’t think my words gave justice to the foods that we had, I’d just show you the photos and let you be the judge.
