| 自從舊年經歷過某朋友購買嘅groupon所引起嘅不愉快事件之後, 我對於裡面所謂令人咋舌嘅大優惠都存在住重重疑慮.. 直至多日前無意中見到呢一個意大利品嘗式任食晚餐, 我分析後認為, 折扣算係合理, 再者酒店餐廳點都唔會差到邊啩.. 而且我好喜歡佢哋呢個品嘗式(degustation)嘅概念, 所以就孤註一擲, 一於買佢作為我嘅生日飯局!! 阿彌陀佛, 結果食物同服務都真係好唔錯, 冇令到我失望連連, 甚至偶有驚喜添.. 慶幸呀, 我呢個處女團購未算失敗之作, 最重要係生日飯局繼續開心, 哈哈!! 至於品嘗式任食晚餐係咩一回事呢?? 嗯, 雖然我食得出唔係正宗意大利餐, 但係十道好精緻好的骰嘅菜一個跟住一個上桌, 感覺有啲似係食緊西式懷石料理, 哈哈!! 都好啦, 至少今年嘅生日飯局有啲唔同~~ :) ■ [後註] 為照片質素抱歉, 因為以手機拍攝, 而且餐廳環境昏暗.. |
| after since the bad experience we had with a groupon one friend bought last year, i was rather skeptical about all the unbelievable attractive offers.. until i saw this Italian Degustation A La Carte Buffet Dinner the other day, i kind of analyzed and thought to myself, justifiable discounts and hotel restaurant won't be too bad right?? and i quite like their idea of having the main dishes in degustation buffet style.. hence, i placed a bet and bought it for my birthday dinner.. thank god, food wise and service wise, it turned out to be quite good and didn't disappoint me at all, instead surprises at times.. glad, my virgin groupon purchase wasn't a failure, most importantly the bet didn't spoil my birthday, haha!! so, degustation a la carte buffet, how was it like?? errr, though not authentically italian i tasted, but having 10 delicate-looking bite-size courses served one at a time, it somehow felt like some down-to-earth haute cuisine, haha!! well, at least something different this year~~ :) ■ [note] apologize for the photo quality, as they were taken using my phone and the restaurant was quite dim.. |

Looks like a great fine-dining dinner albeit not 100% perfect but for a Groupon deal, I'd say it was satisfying? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Thambee had to eat Groupon a la carte buffet for his birthday? I thought you went to Pandi to eat buffet briyani and heaps of curry muttons cheese and masala ayam with bottomless refills of mango lassi!! Dei you bluff me ah.
ReplyDeleteNasi briyani and curry cheesey mutton was his breakfast, cooked by darling kamala. Then Thambee needed to treat her with scrumptious buffet.
DeleteAiyoyoyoyooooooo
DeleteIni Anay make me hungry with his Indian food list la.
Now I feel like eating cheese naan pulak! LOL
haiyo, Thambee is eating all those buffet briyani and heaps of curry muttons cheese and masala ayam with bottomless refills of mango lassi everyday lah.. so the birthday must be something different and special lah.. huh huh, see now Ah Hua and Lina were drooling over all the food Anay mentioned~~ :D
Deletewoi what ah hua and lina...me also drooling la...enough up yesterday after reading this post i went to kanna curry house eat banana leaf rice la....aiyoyo.....this post really makes me gila
Delete嘩！啲菜式唔錯喔。最重要喺分量恰到好處。
ReplyDeletedegustation嘛, 所以全部都係細細份, 咁樣就可以試勻全部嘢囉~~ :)
DeleteNot all groupons are rip offs but some have given me good deals and I ordered many times like the Japanese Buffet at Shogun and course meals at Esquire Kitchen. I ate till the food came out tru my nostrils.
ReplyDeleteyeah, that is why how you evaluate those offers is also something important.. always go for those more trusted brands instead..
DeleteYour photos of the Italian Food looked very delicious and nice like a menu from Milan but the hairy armed Mario chefs could be from Bangladesh. Wakakakakaka
ReplyDeleteGoodness! You traveled all the way from your home at Zoo Negara to Subang to eat!!! That's far man. Did you ride an elephant there with Kamala? You probably left home at sunrise and arrived Subang at sunset on time for your feast. How sweet!
Deletehahaha, too bad we didn't got to see who were in the kitchen, so we rather not want to know and continue to imagine a hairy armed Mario in there.. the waiters however were mostly locals actually.. errr, Anay you were wrong, not left home at sunrise, but left home BEFORE sunrise!! :D
DeleteSlurpssssss!!!! How much? How come you never took me for this? Tsk! Tsk!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Italian here... Got, one ciplak one...getting poor reviews all round. I want this lah!!!!!
Deletehow much?? just click on the link provided and see the details lah~~ and why do i need to take you there?? muahahahaha.. you want that?? errr, better not lah, later you will complain a lot~~ :D
DeleteGood morning SK and folks, happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWoots! Birthday dinner of Italian food. Looks so luxurious and posh la!
I haven't tried groupon yet! So out eh!
Morning Yan, me too I have yet to try groupon too.
DeleteMe also no try groupon before...
DeleteLadies, you can safely order 1001 things from Groupon. I have ordered many food vouchers, sunglasses, cup cake maker, cockroach repellent device, gadgets and even a safety box!
DeleteI have no complains on my orders while some fussy people have complained until the cow comes home.
How TM? just register only? But is it redeemable at all places. Or only valid for Klang Valley or you know.. only at KL. Too far for us here at Taiping.
DeleteIt is very easy lah. If vouchers for food or facial/ massage services, they will send you Pdf links to print. All items will be couriered to your door step in proper boxes with bubble wraps for protection. Sunglasses came in those plastic chicken rice boxes! Muahahahaha!
DeleteIt is so common now in KL to see big groups of friends and families armed with Groupon vouchers at trendy & popular restaurants. Competition is stiff now.
You guys should look for Penang only Groupon offers on the food, car services or massage/beauty services. usually very cheap just to lure you to let their sales personnel persuade you to sign up packages but it's no obligations lah. You all high position aunties sure know how to kau tim them if not interested.
Just register when you decided to order with your credit card.
All the goods can be ordered from anywhere in Malaysia and will be couriered to your address. Items like baked cake orders or big luggage has to be redeemed from their shops in KL.
DeleteWhy am I advertising so much for Groupon in SK's blog??? Mampus lah Anay! SK will reward me with 100.0 N-score.... Sobs! Sobs!
Correction Sotong Anay meant to say D-Score will be 100.0
DeleteAiyoh Angeline,
DeleteLike many things in this world, you have to read the terms & conditions lah..
Then you'd know which branch can go makan, what date, whether got blackout dates or not, what you are entitled or not...
Ask Anay for what?
He doesn't own Groupn.
Or does he?
Anay, if you do... tell me ah.. :P
Thank you Anay and thank you Lina too.
DeleteMak Yannie, if things are from groupon then they will never be posh and luxurious already lah.. haha!!
Deleteyeah, always read the fine prints before taking action.. we have to be very sure what we are doing to protect our rights.. just like before commenting, we need to read the contents of the post and not just scroll down and taruh comments only.. muahahahahaha~~ :D
We are damn busy lah.
DeleteWhere got time to read posts.
Just hantam and comment and spam like mad enough la. WHo cares. Miahaha!!!!
if just hantam and spam without reading, also need to know the way to do it.. and also choose the right blog to do it, else some blog owners will scold you for not reading oh~~ :D
DeleteSK isa good example.
DeleteHe let us know beforehand that he had yet read our post but just comment first. So polite. Love Ah Boy. ^^
but then, even if i didn't read i still can spam very RELEVANT and RELATED comments also lah, as if i have actually read the whole thing.. hahaha!! :D
DeleteI'm learning this skill by taking thambee as my role model. Put comment without reading the whole post words by words and yet not out of topic.
DeleteLike this post, "what a lovely birthday celebration at an Italian buffet! The food are mouthwatering and yummy, despite the portion is smaller than my expectation. Worth every cent you paid via Groupon", Ah Hua will comment as such.
hahaha, actually Thambee's posts all short and sweet, before you get tired of reading you have already finished reading word by word, haha!! and that coments above, it's so relevant but then are you sure you didn't read the contents at all?? those are very details only seen in the contents~~ :D
Deletewei...ah boy...teach me la how to spam RELEVANT and RELATED without reading post. some ah the post so ahem ahem ah...dont know how to comment leh...but have to comment also la coz later they kecil hati pulak.
Deletedies...sound so out of topic pulak...from groupon voucher to how to comments....
but really la ah boy should teach the good ethic of commenting coz each time ah boy comment in my blog all very logic one leh
Morning everyone and SK!
ReplyDeleteOr should I say Bonjour!
DeleteMorning Angeline, morning all...
DeleteSharon morning. I was busy brwosing SK foodie photos... looks so yumz at this our.
DeleteGood morning to you too Anzerin!! You spam so early!
Deleteerrrr, Bonjour is French but the Italians say Buongiorno.. :p
DeleteHantam saja.
DeleteWhere got time to check what language say what... Wakaka
this post is Italian mah, that's why Bonjour or Ohaiyo is not appropriate lah~~~ :D
DeleteOK OK Now I say
Deleteoyasumi nasai can?
Cannot resist showing off what little language skill I know!
Soli soli
aiyoh, so early oyasumi nasai?? today is not malam jumaat lah~~ :D
Deleteselamat petang...errr...can ah? Gua duno foreign language leh....nothing to show off LOL...
DeleteIn fact the food that ah boy had, I also duno how to appreciate. Only Kaldip knows how to eat it.
Closes to it which i had ever had was at Italiannies at Empire Shopping Gallery. That time orang kasi "roti" and "dipping" this longkang kucing also duno how to eat. Kadip say have to dip dip baru tau...else will end up eat "roti" only lo
Good morning, SK and all! Wow, nice set of scrumptious food. I like the seafood ragout with hollandaise gratin, that's salmon, mussel and prawn. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried groupon. Don't really trust it.
Deletenot bad at all, my pick would be the beef and salmon, the seafood ragout was not what i fancy actually.. hahaha, this was also my very first time buying a groupon..
DeleteI reckon, is your special day treat yourself better. "Italian Degustation Ala Carte Buffet Dinner"...superb delicio!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you enjoy your day to the fullest! Despite not much complain over the taste and also their petite bite size portion.
DeleteWith petite portion, you can taste even more choices from their ala carte right?
DeleteSo after having more than 10 dish from starter, salad, soup, main course desserts and tea/coffee... does it all make your tummy happy?
DeleteItalian food always have this smaller portion compare to US - Big portion. Need 2 person to finish the whole Giant Burger for an example!
DeleteUS portion is well-known for its big size. It's been that way even before the world war!
DeleteEveryone knows that. :P
By the way,
DeleteI'm going to sound like an English teacher here...
Degustation means taking a small amount into the mouth to test its quality so of course the sizes are small.
So cannot compare this type of menu with full size menu offered.
Experienced high-class diner like you should that, right?
Nvm... advices from teacher is the most valuable ones! Kam siah banyak banyak
Deleteyeah, something special for my birthday lah, instead of having buffet and stuff myself to death, better try something different.. that degustation is great in a way that i can try a little bit of everything, of course with that portion, even i had 10 courses i didn't really stuff up myself lah, just nice.. hehehe!!
Deletetrue that the american portion is always huge.. the italian usually comes in smaller portion but then again, there are always more courses to go.. so in the end, also quite the same lah, concluded the "ang moh" eat more than us Asian.. hahaha!!
ah boy ah...you really makes my sotong head spin la...what Degustation. I thought adik-beradik with indesgestion. My "england" no good. Lucky Lina explain else i realy bikin malu lor.
DeleteOOo no wonder the food in the post like bite size la.
But then eat bit bit like that good enough leh especially when with a group of friend. can enjoy and slowly taste the food. If big plate of food everyone will be busy stuffing themselves and no time to talk
A+B
ReplyDeleteI talian bread is always buttery and nice to eat just like that. I tried to dip with vinaigrette before - Nice!
C+D
DeleteAlthough I never taste any Ravioli before, I guess the authentic Ravioli wrap with cheese is taste much better. Often seen from TV how they make Ravioli from home. The salad kinda to cute to eat ler...
Wild mushroom soup is always my fav. I definitely will browse for it when we have fine dining else where - KL or Penang.
DeleteToo salty huh? tsk tsk
F+G+H+I+J
DeleteThe main course - beef, mutton, seafood and chicken. I would go for the salmon platter and also the "duck" meat. Eh... got any speciality with duck meat dishes inside the Ala Carte or not? or you didn't order?
K+L - Desserts time! Creme brulee is not my liking but I like the presentation. I would go for the pana cotta Italian pudding/custard.
DeleteM - You don't drink coffee?
DeleteConclusion, I want to try ler...wanna pester my hubby bring me go for Italian food ady.
oh Italian bread is buttery?? hahaha, i didn't taste any butter in those basket of bread leh, i think perhaps they use more olive oil in baking the bread, haha~~ :D
Deleteand that one is NOT ravioli, i was so disappointed that they changed it to gnocchi without even telling upfront!! haiz.. and that wild mushroom soup, yeah, it depends what type of mushroom soup.. those cream of mushroom that they made from canned concentrates of powder (like those in fast food chain) is definitely a piss off for me, i must make sure that they make their own mushroom soup before i consider to order that..
errr, duck wasn't in the menu.. those 5 main dishes (F to J) were all that in the menu, very limited choice actually, else of course i would have tasted more and show more photos.. haha!!
oh, i am not fans of coffee or tea actually.. i prefer juices, more refreshing!! hahaha~~ yes, you must "kutuk" your hubby to bring you to a nice Italian restaurant, maybe during your birthday or anniversary etc lah~~ :p
I never taste Italian foods before...
ReplyDeletePizza and spaghetti Italian what...
DeleteTiramisu also. hehehe
Oh, then Ah Hua will proudly says, she tasted Italian food and can cook them at home! Spaghetti bolognese :D
Deletehahaha, Sharon.. Lina was so right!! i am sure you had eaten pizza and pasta before, those are Italina.. and even Ah Hua has cooked them before!! :D
DeleteAh Hua so cosmopolitan lah. She so humble say shekatak bawah tempurung. But she cooked Italian what! Hebat! ;)
DeleteAh Hua was once the cover girl of Cosmopolitan magazine lah, very hebat but she stays humble only~~
DeleteWakakakakakaka!!! Ah Hua was COSMOPOLITAN's cover gal kah?? Which year? Anay wanna buy a copy.
Deleteooopsss, sorry!! wrong info.. COSMOPOLITAN was Meow, but Ah Hua was GLAMOUR's cover girl in Nov-2011 issue~~ Anay should go ask the Suratkhabar Singh whether he still keeps the back issues~~
DeleteLOL...i was going to say the same thing as Sharon but lucky read the comments..ya tasted pizza and tiramisu before but not really crazy about them
DeleteAh hua so pandai leh...My spaghetti manyak cheh kai one. Tarak laku. Only kaldip eats
Good morning SK!
ReplyDeleteWah your birthday treat is so posh and scrumptious leh! Drooling at the photos already la! :p
I have never buy any coupons/offers from groupon, reason being is most of the 'things' selling are not available at Taiping, so no point for me to buy from there... :(
DeleteBut glad that this time they did not disappoint you, must your lucky birthday year!
I love the Caesar salad, I always love salad, healthy and appetizing ma!
DeleteGrilled beef, hmm, not my thing... :p
Baked salmon, yes!
Lamb, also not my thing...
Seafood ragout, yes would love to try!
Creme brulee, yes yes yes! =）
So after such heavy treats， did you do some exercise before sleep? Hehe..
DeleteBut never mind also la, it's ok to indulge in good food once a while right? I think you won't mind about it so much like us, the ladies... :p
hahaha, Hayley ah, when it comes to groupon then it will never be posh lor i think.. agree?? hmmm, this was also my first time buying groupon lah, luckily didn't disappoint me.. i think they do have it in penang right, since penang is so near your place you can actually consider that lah..
Deleteoh, looks like you are a seafood and desserts person?? haha.. errr, never mind lah, once in a year, must indulge myself on my birthday mah~~ :p
Wow... meaning Hayley exercise after indulging in nice dinner. Such discipline.
DeleteAfter a nice dinner, I'd rather have a relaxing sleep instead of working out. What's the point of enjoying life? ;p
of course, or else Hayley won't stay slim fit and pretty until our dear SP is drooling to meet her in person!! hahahaha.. hmmm, after a nice dinner you go to sleep straight away?? like that bad digestion lah~~ :D
Deletewow... the food is for per pax or two or three? I don't think I can "wallop" it all.. hahaha... so how much is it? Well, I guess we should pamper ourselves especially on our special B-day!
ReplyDeleteper person lah, actually it's very small portion only, bite size ones, that's why can eat a little bit of everything.. hahaha, maybe you can wallop also lah, just one or two dishes less lor..
DeletePlenty of nice and good food... Won't you scare of adding weights?
ReplyDeleteSK is so skinny compared to your alcoholic binge belly. Your arms are bigger than his thighs too! LOL
Deletenah, i am not that paranoid about my weight lah (cos already gave up, haha).. TZ's arms sure bigger than my thighs lah, he is a gym rat remember?? his big arms are all muscle!! haha~~ :D
DeleteYou should pinch TZ's meat lah! All fats that wobbled like Indian Ocean. He lazes in the gym couch flipping his mobile phone for hours!
Deleteoh really?? lazes in the gym couch flipping his mobile phone?? no wonder he always tell people in FB that he was in the gym for hours!! :D
DeleteSo nice la...
ReplyDeleteSo envy you.
The last meal I had with Groupon was at Manhattan Fish Market.
OK lah. Staff also not fussy. Just come, show coupon and they serve food.
Not like certain places, no walk-in with Groupon entertained. But when called, said all full already. But without Groupon, can walk-in and enjoy dinner. Why double standard?
Yalor some places say have to make reservations three four day early. Boring if like that. They say each day they cater for certain number of groupon guests.
DeleteEspecially if hotel buffet. I saw many buying but when time to make reservations will have difficulty. Fully book la this and that
this one also must book min 3 days in advance and they limit to 50 per day, available Mon-Thurs dinner only, so actually not that high demand.. not bad at all lah, if service is good then i am easily satisfy even the food isn't up to par..
Deletewhen we went there, ngum ngum the aircond rosak, the manager arranged us to dine in the coffee shop where buffet was served, and they bring us the food lor.. actually the same kitchen lah i think..
wah at least service is good la. Wei...if got this good deal ah tell us next time la LOL
DeleteAH Boy,
ReplyDeleteIf not OK experience also never mind what.
After makan, then complain and make a whole lot of noise. Then, get compensated with another free meal. OK whattttttttt
LOL
Lol like me la at TR .
DeleteService so lousy. Complaints they give onion loaf coupon.pengsan . Asked them change to fried mushrooms. Sedap.
hahaha, first of all, i didn't put high expectation on it lah, groupon mah, especially food and service it's never guaranteed like physical products mah.. so without expectation, things turned out to be good instead~~ :)
Deleteyea agree with you that...TR that time I had high expectation coz the name TR mah....mana tau .......
DeleteYay ah boy no more virgin in groupon lor lol...
ReplyDeleteMe too la kena bad experience from these deals before . Treated like second class citizens.
But not are like that la. Some deals are quite good.
hahahaha, no more virgin in groupon like mamarazzi lah, kekekekeke!! but after this one, i think it actually kind of help me to consider other deals lah.. true that not all are bad lah, sure got one or two black sheep one..
DeleteAs usual just like Bananaz who loves *kai ning* chicken breast gimme 5
ReplyDeleteerrr, BTW that "kai nin" wasn't nice at all lah.. too old and too dry, i thought Bananaz only loves those that "aii pnii yew aii chnyiii" (hokkien: cheap and young)~~
Deletewell im glad to know that everything works on your favor!
ReplyDeletehaha that made you enjoy your day even more that's for
sure
oh yeah, my very first groupon did not disappoint me, that's a good start huh?? :p
DeleteWell, in my case i never really celebrated my birthday on a restaurant
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have my mom cook me some spaghetti
and enjoy it ourselves haha
oh yeah, i am sure your mom is a very good cook and her cooking must be very delicious, better than many chefs out there!!
Deletehmm the foods were really great! thos the servings
ReplyDeletewere quite little haha( most dishes presented that way was)
i think by the taste of those, you will be satisfied
most of them were nice and i was quite satisfied, and the service was also good.. :)
DeleteI really like the way it was presented,
ReplyDeletemost especially those dessert! i think
presentation makes dish more appealing
and you would get enough appetite just by that
you are right, with nice presentation the food sure looks more appetizing.. :)
Deleteagain happy birthday sk, have a great day and happy blogging
ReplyDeletegod bless you always too
thank you again.. and same to you Typhoon, have a great day and happy blogging :)
Delete关于groupon的负面消息 之前也听过不少
ReplyDelete不过我同事每次都因为groupon捡到大便宜！
因為你的同事厲害嘛, 每次都慧眼識groupon, 呵呵!! :D
Deletethat's very true, little imperfections are indeed everywhere and i didn't expect much from that groupon but turned out to be quite good.. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday ~~~ =D
ReplyDeletethanks again Mr Lonely, but it was over, hehehehe~~ :p
DeleteDegustation ala carte buffet, sounds interesting! So how many main dishes did you have? Happy birthday again! :)
ReplyDeleteall together 10 dishes, haha!! two appetizer, six main dishes, 1 dessert and 1 tea.. thanks again!! :)
DeleteI always heard a lot of people talk about groupon, but I'm not dare to try lo, cause I know I always will get cheated!!! =[
ReplyDeletei also quite skeptical but then have to select and read the fine prints.. always go to those which are more popular and branded lah.. :)
DeleteOoo, nice, thanks for the tips!!! =]
DeleteThe photos quality are not that bad, as long it's clear enough to see then that's fine with it!!! =]
ReplyDeletemy phone also not bad at all one woh, hehehe!! true also, sometimes too clear then become worse instead.. :p
DeleteJust found that SK0617 is symbolic as your birthday date lol!!! =]
ReplyDeletehehehe, exactly my birthday lah.. errr, i thought that's quite easy to guess?? :p
DeleteCause I wasn't aware of that before it lo, paiseh!!! =]
DeleteVisiting from Suituapui's Blog! Neat place you have here! Happy belated Birthday! Neat Food Photos!
ReplyDeleteAnay will spam the food comments today and all the bloggers will scream at me again saying that Anay cannot beat Ajinomoto. I have been drooling at your photos for too long now so today I will comment sekali gus.
ReplyDeletePhoto A. Just the first round and you already wallopped two baskets and the sun-dried tomato bread! Thambee was so glutton!!! Adoi! Fatty Humpty Thambee sat on the wall...
I never tried this bombastic sun-dried tomato bread but would love to try. Photo looks nice!
Photo B. Anay had never heard of Vinaigrette too!!! I only made Anaygrette soup lah with green peas in India. The captain made you happy with good service and Thambee happy lah to dance around the table! Next time I must try this soup!!
DeletePhoto C. Thambee is from India but you amazed Anay with your sound knowledge on Italian food!!! When and where did you learn all this fine dining with Mario food?
DeleteRaviolli with Basillica crab meat cream!! How mouthful this dish's name! Next time Thambee teach Anay how to eat this but I know you don't like it.
Photo D. The caesar salad comes with fresh romaine lettuce with crispy condiments of beef bacon and garlic croutons!!! Mmmmn...sounds so healthy and delicious but I thought Thambee hates vegies. Once you swore that only cows ate salad. No???
DeleteAnay makes delicious salad everyday for Letchumy to eat for breakfasts. This has given me the idea to blog it next.............
Photo E. Wow! You had this cum creamy wild mushroom soup which could make your horny! I love them too and failed many times to perfect this soup! Adoi.
DeletePhoto F. Eh Thambee ate beef and I thought you are Hindu!! It looked mouthwatering to have this grilled mignonette of beef with grilled pepper! I must eat them well done and not burnt like that!!! I still like to eat pork ribs more than anything else!
DeletePhoto G. Goodness I would be full by now with so much food being served earlier. This is Letchumy's favourite to sink her teeth in this oven baked salmon with clam chowder reduction.. I think the block of salmon filet is too chunky and big but you still finished it. What a bit appetite you had!
DeletePhoto H. I would love this roasted to perfection baby lamb rack with summer thyme juice! The smell is as heavenly like eating durians! Next time invite me along and will clean the plate for you.
DeletePhoto I. Wow! I heard seafood ragout with hollandaise gratin!! I bet they won't serve you the freshest seafood with a Groupon ticket lah. Just eat and be happy lo.
DeleteYou had all the salmon, mussel and prawn for a song!!!
Photo J. You didn't like the grilled chicken breast paupiette with chasseur sauce?? I bet it was not being overcooked but rather a left over from the night before!!! I am not kidding! Muahahahahaha
ReplyDeletePhoto K. Mmmmmn... The dessert made me drool. I had never tried this delicious looking crème brûlée as dessert! Aiyo...even strawberry also could not please you. In Korea they could freeze the palm sized strawberries for up to 2 years and still export them!
ReplyDeletePhoto L. I have seen this panna cotta many times at hotel's buffet but merely called it custard puddings! They are cheap desserts to make by just pouring the powder from its box and mix with boiling water before chilling it overnight. Easy to make lah but you liked it.
DeletePhoto K. Wah! They even served you a cup of hot tea! How nice to help your tummy to digest before say sayonara to the hotel. I wonder if you would go through the same rituals again for your next birthday?
DeleteHow much did you pay and how many fellas dined with you?
