Phore Season Restaurant

CK decided to give me a surprise 3 month anniversary dinner without letting me know where we are heading for dinner. I was only given the notice/ instruction to “wear nicely” = alternatively means we're heading for a fine dine OR normally I just don't dress up enough *which i am not...wakakakaka*

Apparently, CK as always, did his research and found out that the restaurant has achieved the “Finalist Status in the ITALIAN category 2010 of the Restaurant & Catering SA Natural Gas Awards for Excellence”, not to mention their other achievements throughout the years.

We had decided to go full on with the dinner à which mean a 3 course meal!! I read through the menu and order food that caught my eye and "sounds" delicious *I know you can't hear food....but trust me, they are yelling at YOU---not literally! XD* We wanted to order dessert at the beginning, but the waiter was like "have a go at your food and you can order the dessert later when you know how much space you have left!". THANK GOODNESS we listened to him...hahaha....we were BLOATED! So, we only ordered one dessert to share ^^v

Entrée 

Seared Scallops with Salsa Verde
~see how jiucy and succulent the scallops are?? ^^ Totally awesome~

Main

MINE:  'Golden Plains' Pork Belly
~the pork belly is so so tasty with the Italian Spices. The stuffed apple was GOOD STUFF...totally balances off the
fatty-ness of the pork~ 

CK's:  Duck Ragu Bianco Farfalle
~the chef is really REALLY generous with the meat....you'll feel like you are eating more duck than the pasta ^^~

Dessert

Some chocolate mouse like thing dessert - Forgot the name
~SOOOOOooooo YummY!! It's not too sweet but with a hint of bitter -- exactly the way I like my chocolate desserts to be ^^v~

Wine

2009 Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough, NZ)
~very soothing wine, easy to drink with a fresh taste~

EXCITING DECISIONS

OMG…I have been off away from the blog-o-sphere for such a long time! I always have tons to blog but never really get my hands on to it. I will post it up one by one. Since, sometimes I may have extra time at work I might as well blog on mua good ol’ Microsoft Office Words.

First, as of recent, I am planning to visit my hometown Malaysia after 4 ½ years. I am expecting to spend LOADS on shopping (well….what cha expect? I am still a girl hei XD). I would also spend a significant amount on food à Malaysian food’s cheap and AWESOME, as in super duper YUMMY!!!

Before I can confirm anything, I have to get a few things done:-

(1)   Book ticket – MAS promofare will end 06/10/2010, have to book before then!!!

(2)   Visa – Since I am not a PR yet, I have to get a travelling visa close to my departure date. (hopefully it’s gonna be granted!)
