This restaurant is recommended by Alfonso. Of cause, he should do some homework for today special :p Limited parking.... and simple setting of the restaurant... but the price is 5 star hotel for me.

Their menu is not fixed. So regular customer can try something different.

Roasted pumpkin soup with 1 scallop on top, RM32 (!!!) Taste: normal. base on this price, it should amaze me. Anyway, the scallop is fresh and nice. Bread is complimentary. Actually, Alfonso wanted to try their saute clam soup but today no clam supply :(

Caesar Salad, RM28. We overheard the customer sit next table ordering this and said he come for this. So we also order one. Well, taste is not bad. Again, base on the price, it should add some chicken slices like other restaurant does.

Linguine, RM42. Taste is nice and special. Just I do not like the flat shape spaghetti.

Chicken Paillard, RM32. Taste is nice. Maybe I do like to eat chicken breast, else I will very enjoy it. Anyway, I like their mash potato, it is very nice!

Gratin Sabayone, RM24. Does it looks like steamed egg? Haha... it is ice-cream! Ice-cream + custard + strawberries + chocolate powder -> medium baked. It is very special for me. Very nice!

Woohooo~ sweating... Luckily no government tax. Too pricey for me.

At first, only 2 tables are occupied including us. I thought not many people will visit this restaurant since limited parking, simple setting and pricey. Well, it is full house!

As what I requested, I do not need a whole cake... Simple 3 pieces "layer" cakes that he given me. (They were not cheap, RM10 per piece. A bit regret, buy a whole 1/2kg normal cake is worth than this.)

Surprise! Simple nice.

No intend to have any gift because I have no ideal what I want. Few days ago, there has a Kinohimitsu road show in QB Mall. I stopped by and take a look. End up, he bought me this as my b'day gift :)

The taste is nice to drink... just little (30ml if I not mistaken). I felt uncomfortable after drink. Maybe my stomach cannot stand for such concentrated fruits essence... sour~
