MANDARIN ORIENTAL▲
Soooooooo, considered it's sunday already, SCH'S STARTING TMR OH NOOOOOOOO HATE IT!!!!!!! AAAAARGHHHHHHH been so busy working almost everyday that i didn't enjoy my holiday enough :( SIGH 2 MONTHS Y U PASS SO FAST!! but also, kind of excited that i'll be meeting my poly friends after soooo long! hehe!
Soo, went to mandarin oriental on thursday for a wedding dinner, first impression of mandarin oriental: It's located at marina square, the exterior of the hotel looks crappy and cheapskate. BUT seriously i was wrong man! do not judge a hotel by it's cover! the food is ohmygod delicious and the best (currently) out of so many high class hotel wedding dinners i've been to! The service is good too! lol im like advertising mandarin oriental! might consider using this hotel for my wedding next time! HAHA
I'll be introducing and rating all the dishes served that night (Y) ps: i really REALLY REGRET not bringing my DSLR and macro lens to take the food parden for the lousy images taken using my digital camera! but not bad already ok!
Me and mummy <3 love her!
First course: Appetizer platter! OK FIRSTLY, i didn't take a photo for the first dish so i kop from pamela cause she went to the same hotel for food tasting not long ago LOL
The platter was deeeeeeliiiiiicioussss like seriously! especially the lobster with mango sauce and the gor hiong "五香“ but i ate like quite little only :( damn sad very fast the whole plate cleared *grr*

Second course: Shark's Fin
WOOOAHHH this is the first time i'm served in an individual bowl of REAL sharksfin! rarely will have real one! and don't assume those thick thick one we usually eat at wedding dinner is real. NO IT'S NOT. THIS IS REAL! my favourite main course! the chicken inside was smooth slurp slurp! i had 2 bowls cause our table got 9 ppl only so me and daddy shared 1 more bowl hehe <3 love him for giving me!

Third Course: Scallop with stir fried asparagus in black pepper sauce
THE SCALLOPS ARE VERY VERY SMOOTH LA I LIKE ALOT! I had 6 hehe i keep kop-ing! but the bad thing about this dish was it was quite oily. But i like the black pepper sauce and the asparagus! and of course the scallops :) happy girl! i turned the glass to our side cause the waiter put the dish at one corner what was he thinking man!

Fourth Course: Roasted duck with house special sauce
Truthfully hor, i don't really like this dish cause the waiter never serve me breast meat and i only eat breast meat! but mummy exchanged hers with me hehe! the skin of the duck is roasted damn well and perfectly! i like the skin and the breast meat but not other parts sorry! HAHA the sauce is nice too!

Last Course: Baked chocolate Pudding!!!!! (DONT SCROLL DOWN FIRST)
At first when i saw the menu i was like eeeeee i hate pudding cause i dont like the taste but when it was served it changed A-BIT cause i thought it's more like a cupcake then pudding and while waiting for the waiter to serve to everyone in the table, i kept thinking why they name it pudding and not cupcake it looks so damn dry! AND THEN. *DOO DOONG*
I CUT THE "PUDDING" WITH MY FORK AND WAS DAMN SHOCKED LITERALLY (i made the shock face) CAUSE THE HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE FLOWED OUT OF THE "PUDDING" hahaha immediately took my my digi cam and snapped the photo of the sauce flowing out!!!! BEST DESSER EVER! my aunt took the 2nd serving which leaves me to none :( sigh oh well but it was the best 300 seconds of my life!
