yuan's bithday part 1

her birthday finally arrived!! who is the her?
the birthday girl who celebrated her birthday like royalty for more than a days..
the girl who is so loud in class
the girl who loves heels so much
the girl who scold foul word so much
the girl who make me giggle all the time..

celebrating at Marche, Renaissance Hotel

yes!! its your highness, Queen Brussel Sprouts birthday..(p/s: dont ask me why brussel sprouts...ask her...)

we started of on Monday night..and The Daily Grind cancel my reservation due to some function (urgh), so i change my direction to Jarrod Rawlins so that i can pick up her burfday cake from FatBoyBakes..as usual no sense of direction..but we still manage to reach on time..and how stupid i am to disclose the place, its suppose to be a surprise..

another good place for beer and hanging out with friends..step in to the place..loads of imported beer and wine on ur left..cheeses, cold platters (serrano, chorize, dynamite pork sausage) on ur right..how tempting huh..

but i don't really like the waitress there..she seems a bit blur and not attentive enough but the rest of the male waiter is cool.the place was full with people drinking around..wine..draught beer..etc etc..


i pick up serrano ham, 2 different kinds of chorizo and brie cheese..its good that you can to choose which kind of cold cuts and cheese u wan..with the amount u want..but they do charge for the bread with butter and preserve..its 7.50 for the bread which i find it pricey coz they bread is just too hard for my teeth to pull..haha..both of us cant finish maybe cause its too salty..

complimentary draught guiness stout from my beef stew

its my first stout coz i alwiz felt its for those middle aged man..she said its nice wor..so i drink lo..liar liar..i don't like it..i would had taken other imported beer.its just no my kind..she herself drink bottled apple juice..coz her job is to collect bottles for birthday..weirdo..and she was not even surprise when she saw fbb truffle cake..more on tht in the next blog..:(


her burger..fresh patties and i add on bacon and blue moulded cheese and i don't remember the another extra..she say its ok wor but i only had one mouth..i beh tahan the cheese..though i like cheese but this is.......overpower of the cheese where you don't even taste the patties..but their saute onion (i think) at the tiny plate is yummy..i ask for extra..


my stout beef stew..the flavor was nice..but the meat was not tender enough for me..a bit stiff and the mashed is pretty too dry for me..nothing to shout about..all this sum up to???..

since im not so satisfy with the meal, i suggest to go dessert bar at Solaris since its nearby..but wrong turning and we went the city centre..we pass by the petronas twin tower..awesomely beautiful cause we are so near to it..but we still go on turning around until we pass by Marche and i said lets turn in..i think she resist at the beginning but i always win..

chocolate mousse on the house thanks to Mr. Mixon

she loves this so much..i wonder is it becoz its free..haha..but its really nice..smooth rich chocolate mousse on the outside and there are frozen banana inside..yummy..its not even on the list of menu..i guess she got no regrets coming anymore..

one of a kind creme brulee with braised pear and watermelon foam

quite innovative combination huh..but to me is a so so only..i still prefer my brulee in a ramekin with a layer or crispy torched topping..still finding a good one..

chocoalte tortino with chocolate ice-cream served at the side

the warm and cold combination..i like the strawberry sauce at the side..cause its sour that balance up the sweetness of the rich chocolate..who cares if its commercial made..and its always exciting to see molten chocolate in the middle flowing out of the centre..


the journey continue the next day..with good road direction for me..and surprise for her by not telling her the name even after she enter and saw the menu, she still dunno where she was..tai tai..FUKUYA..

got her a kaiseki set lunch and a normal set lunch for me..they change their kaiseki lunch item everyday..its all about lucks..but according to reviews, patrons seldom got disppointed..the differnce in those both is that kaiseki is daintier..

her appetizer..but of course the sweet prawn ended up in my stomach..allergy birthday girl..

my steam rice with scallop..the scallop is fresh and not too thick flavor..not too salty..mild but soothing

i don't remember the name of the roll..but basically its fusion where they incorporated bird eye chillies into the unagi roll and fried it in a very light batter..its too spicy for her and we need to remove all the chillies..i eat most of it at the very end..but its nice..

fresh sashimi for both of us..thick..solid..you don't even need they soya actually..coz its just fresh..



she got 2 soup..one is the red miso and another is the giant clam soup..i think she love both..according to her, the clam soup is fresh and you can actually taste the flavor of sea..keng!! i guess it means fresh..the red miso has slight sourness..mine is the normal miso..

tempura

her favorite part..braised daikon (white radish) with thick sauce..i myself loves it a lot..she wanted to come back for more..but i wonder will they serve the same thing..its definetly comfort food..

teriyaki salmon belly with pickled pumpkin, sping onion and white radish..we had a slight argument what is the yellow thing at first cause its crispy..and for sure i won..its pickled pumpkin..tai tai again..i guess she eat too much for birthday making her a bit dumb..


lastly dessert..strawberry with whipped cream and icing sugar while mine is dragon fruit though i expect something better..but its okay..a clean and simple end for the lunch..i guess this meal clear her stomach a bit from all the heavy food she had for the pass few days.and its really worth the money..

thts all for the 1st part though i eliminated some of my food..lets not drag the blog...lets wait for the second part..
