We were there for a dinner a year ago, so yes, this post is a very back-dated one. Everything was perfect; location, food, service, scenery except for one thing, which I shall not be elaborating on. So fast forwarding to the food.
Every table is served with a complimentary basket which consist of thinly sliced crispy toasted bread. One bite, and we knew this was just going to be the beginning of a gastronomical dining experience. I still think about their bread and lament about not having the courage to request for refills. Oh well.
For starters, we had Lobster Bisque Soup and Parma Ham with Rock Melon (no pictures sadly). The saltish ham contrasted by the sweetness of rock melon is a match made in heaven. Love it, not liking the Lobster Bisque soup though.
Andt then we had one of their gourmet pasta and a fish dish. Pictures finally!
Spaghetti with Seafood and White Wine
Never had another plate of better pasta, the linguine was al-dente, not under-cooked (a certain ahh.. Pasta..F..hemmm) nor soggy. Served with limited but precious portions of succulent prawns, scallops, fish and a mussel, we were practically savouring every mouthful.
For fish, we had Pan Roasted Seabass with Broccoli Sprouts and Beetroot Sabayon. Another good choice. Nicely roasted to a crisp, the fish was tender and juicy. I don't usually eat beetroot or any veggies with elaborate foreign names, but this one, I cleaned the whole dish empty.
And an Italian meal isn't one without having their traditional dessert. Yes, tiramisu! I've high expectations of it as they were after-all an Italian restaurant and they didn't fail me, well almost, i could do with a bigger portion. Ha.
We also had a glass of wine each, red for him and sweet white for me. I gave up after a few sips, not because their wine sucked, but because I just cannot appreciate any wines other than Moscato. I know, what a loser.
Total bill came up to about $200 if I remember correctly, for 2 starters, 2 entrees, 1 dessert & 2 wines. If you're thinking about going, I say skip the wine or beverages, and spend the 40 plus bucks on their appetisers or entrees.
