Happy birthday sweet heart

Orite, this is a pretty belated post.I celebrated the tickle monster's birthday just about 2 days ago. It was meant to be a simple affair really, how ever, as I was preparing for the day itself,ideas just poured in constantly thus, things got a little more interesting ..

The choices of places we dine at in particular was hand picked by me after a series of taste test and ambience checks , during the past few weeks.

On conclusion, a few places were listed out how ever, I picked , the oriole cafe bar , canelle the patisserie and the society bar out of the array ,as they were located more strategically according to my plan.

Lunch was at the oriole cafe bar which is located at somerset 313, just opposite brotzeit.We had fish and chips and Beef Cheek Tagliatelle here. Of which, I think the beef tagliatelle is simply awesome. The beef cheeks were tender and the red wine reduction sauce compliment those lovely pieces of protein so well together with the pasta that was cooked to perfection.


The fish and chips was a little ordinary I felt , even though its stated on lady iron chef as the best fish and chips in town. The tar tar sauce was uniquely fantastic though.

Besides the main course , we ordered a pot of floral tea. It is simply aromatic and tasty . Janice enjoys every sip of it and can't get enough of it actually.Being not the avid tea drinker, I must say, this pot of tea really intrigues me with its light body, yet strong aroma. The price tag for the above came to a blue color note with some change to spare for bubble tea=D For that , I felt it was worth while for the good food there.

Next stop, was to have the girl's birthday cake. Think of patisserie and desserts and just intuitively, chocolates would come into a girl's mind. Ay, maybe i'm a guy, thats why this year, her birthday cake was this marvellous matcha cake from canele
patisserie at the basement of the paragon. I had a few mouthful of the cake only and I thought that this could probably be the best green tea cake I've ever ate in my life .Well, ask the girl , she'll probably say the same thing ,after all, she had almost the entire cake to herself .


I ordered two more macrons to go with the cake as a side treat for her.The macrons wasn't that fantastic I thought, maybe my sweet tooth was retracted due to the recent dental visits.




Dinner was at the society bar. The place had a great atmosphere actually, lights were dimmed , nice jazzy music and comfortable seats,they even had a candle light thing going on the table!As a romantic spot to have dinner was my main criterion for choosing a place to dine, I had to choose the Society bar. The food I must say wasn't really anything fantastic though. I had an angus beef burger and she had fennel sausages with mashed peas. I was disappointed when i cut thru my beef pattie to find it medium well done when I actually asked for a medium rare done-ness. I held on to my request to ask for a change because I'm quite certain,I'll make a scene if i do so, why spoil such a lovely day right?



On the other hand, the girl was struggling to down her poorly seasoned mashed peas and stale sausages. I belief that the sausages are meant to complement the mashed peas as they were rather salty , how ever, I felt that the cook could have done a better job with character of the dish.



Nonetheless, since it was a bar, we decided to gave them a chance for redemption and ordered a couple of cocktails as desserts. She had a snowball(she always does) , and I ordered a chocolate Martini. Yes, yes, some of you must be thinking why the hell is this grown man ordering a lady's drink, well here's it. Lady drinks are god damn tasty , period.

The snowball was nice as according to her , but i haven't really tried any of it, Again, she had everything to herself. Tsk , now you can see that girl friends are not exactly kind and sharing all the time.



The chocolate martini was splendid i felt. Alcohol level was light,too light for me but i guess its expected since its a ladies drink, and the sweetness was just nice for me. The chocolate smudge at the walls of the cocktail glass gave the drink an extra point for aesthetics and also adds on to the chocolatey taste . Thus, the drinks made up for the quality of the food they served us earlier on.

On three places that I've stated, I guess the one that really satisfy the most would probably be the canele the patisserie with its matcha cake. P.s ,its easy to come to this conclusion based on the look on the girl friend's face with every bite she takes with the matcha cake =D
