It is a restaurant which cater per table basis during normal business day...thus the restaurant practically closes for the day to cater for the dinner. I' giving it a wild guess of approximately 50 pax (max) that the host has invited. The restaurat took a lot of effort in making the dinner a success. All the tables are lined up to suit the grouping given by the host; meaning to say, you can sit as many ppl from the same cluster, say close frens ot colleagues in the same table and not being restrain by the 10pax per table rule...i tink it's a cool idea...
I think heavy credit should be given to the chef who took in the food preparation. Due to the nature of the restaurant (serving per table and per order basis) thus the chef might not be used to cooking and serving a huge number of serving per time! So i tink it's a BIG challenge and might have caused the chef nightmare ever since he was told the request!! hehe...
As informed by the host earlier, the restaurant actually intended to list out a fixed menu to all the guest. But the host request for personalise for all the guest. In the end, there are a few of items in the menu which was prefix and we are only being requested to make 4 dish choices...
Starters (Fixed) : Mixed Antipasti & Mixed Green Salad
Soup (Chosen) : Vellutata Di Funghi (widely known as mushroom soup) OR Minestrone (widely knwon as tomato soup).
The above goes with Italian Bread.
Sorry no picture as nothing special!!!
Pasta (Chosen) : Penne Matriciana OR Penne Cabonara
no photo too; as it's the normal thing that we eat outside!!
Mid-Appetizer (Fixed) : Lemon Sorbet
Main Dish (Chosen) : Filleto Di Sogliola Al Forna (fish fillet) OR Cacciatora (chicken curry) OR Agnello Alla Griglia Con Rosmarino (lamb rib) OR Vetello AL Funghi Porcini (baby cow rib)
It is made known that their Agnello Alla Griglia Con Rosmarino (lamb rib) is the most famous one. So tat made my choice. It was a bit raw so u can still see a bit of the blood water when slicing the meat.Overall, the meat is tender and it's juicy!! yumyum
Dessert (Chosen) : Tiramisu OR Souffle.
Given the chance; i'm obviously did not go for the Tiramisu...i tried the Souffle instead!! and it really pamper my tummy more!!! even looking at it; make me hungry now....
The wedding banquet is more like a gathering as there are no "yam seng" or "cake cutting" like those traditional wedding banquet. Instead it is more of a westernise (erm...right spelling bo har??) anyway, the restaurant alone is already a master piece. They have got a terrace on the upper floor overlooking the lower floor (just like the one in E&O but the terrace is not surrounding the room but at only one side of the room). With the warm lighting and the candle, the place is turn into a very romantic place and with a little of wine, we are bonded in one or another in a new way!
the best thing of all is, the restaurant is actually in a hotel!!! think of how much the host need to spend to make tonight happen and making it a memorable dinner!!! TQ for the experience and may you guys be happy alwiz!!!
