My authority ain't enuff

at the 11th hour *5.45pm to be exact, dinner at 7.30pm*
I was asked to make a reservation...

"We are so sorry ma'am, we are fully booked for tonite"
"I want to speak with your manager"

*supervisor came to the phone coz manager not available*

"Yes, there is only one table available."
"Mr. JS would like to have his usual table."
"I'm so sorry because all the favourite tables are taken."
"hmph, what do u have now?"
"A normal table for 4. Near the entrance."
"..........okkkkaaayyyy....I'll take iiiiiitttttt."

Well when the chef is Tetsuya of KL....u just can't care much.

"Pls be informed that our dress code is...."
"OK OK OK...THANK YOU. BYE"
*macam I'm a fine dining virgin"

Upon arriving with JS,
saw the head sommelier and voila!!!!

JS nonchalantly told the sommelier,

"We will be seated on this table near the entrance tonite aren't we?"
"No no no, Mr. Terry, you'll have your usual table....this way pls."

we got our usual table...WTF.
I need to photocopy your face to make reservation in the future.
and the person who took my reservation thought I'm a Personal assistant/secretary to Mr.JS bla bla bla..

over the phone ealier,
"Pls tell your boss that we are so sorry bla bla bla bla yada yada."

Nevermind.....I will wait for my assistant to do all these in the future,
She's coming in on 1st March.

Wei, u oso got PA mar.
Ask her to do next time!!!!
Pensfolds 1986, been aged in the same barrel used for Hill of Grace...
1986!!! me just a cute tiny monkey at that time.
all the pics were of poor quality and shaky,
coz i had lotsa champagne on an empty stomach while waiting,
for Prince C.
cheers baby!! JS wearing a Panerai Luminor...cun.
my fav classic unagi & foie gras is back but not on the menu
The day when restaurant manager announced it's no longer available,
I almost cried....
seafood pasta with conch, prawns, scallops, barramundi, rockets....
Pensfolds 86, evian, Dom Perignon 98
Prince C all smiles coz his fav thick slabs of foie gras with truffles was yummy n heart blocking..

got to be the most expensive starter at RM 128.
very high cholesterol leh,
and he purchases foie gras by the kilos fr Gourmandines,
to make fried rice every single day,
wah, u very luxurious ar?
my fav wagyu cheef with wasabi was over braised this time......hmmmmm
cigar & coffee
Prince C is really a very snobbish looking fella,
the 1st time I met him,
I wanted to slap him left and right,
then left again, right again....and so on.

They were not posing for me,
that's how they looked like normally/ consciously....hai.

Do u feel like giving them a few slaps now???
perhaps a few punches as well?
my fav desserts all in one grand platter, fuji apples in phyllo pastry, grand marnier souffle, fig tart, chocolate cup cakes and dollops of yummy ice cream....so sinful!!
yes me all tipsy already.....

that blarddy "kuch kuch hota hai" song is still playing in my head.
Next time u sing hokkien & hakka for me ya!!!

Tum paasse aye, Tum paasse aye
Yun Muskurayee, Tum nena jane kya
Sapne de khaye, Aabto mera dil
Jaane ka sota hai, Kya karoon ha ye
Kuch kuch hota hai......

In the end, dunno who's over acting lar....
I know someone gonna kill me after this for the above.....>_<
It will go like this...
"AH MOI!!!!....sdfjhbeirgqirbgke bgsjbhuaieba"

At this stage, kuch kuch hota hai still playing in my head...

Gourmet Syrup


all my Monin syrup lining up at home obediently
Froots syrup (passion fruits + raspberries and kiwi with bananas), gourmet syrup - mango, mint, guava, mint again, Rose, Peach.

Looking at its level, U'll know which is my favourite!!!
ROSE!!!!!
JS is a supporter of the silly kiddy kiwi banana and mango.


rose + martini = rosetini (it sounded so italian...I like!!)
you can mix monin into your drinks, cocktails, food, coffee, beer, wines.....
Monkey have them with sparkling perrier,
until I've gone pokai buyin perrier....sob sob...

it cost about 6.99 for a 750ml bottle..
and we consume like 2 bottles everyday..
So do your mathematics..
in average I spent RM 400 a month just to buy sparkling mineral water!!!!
there goes my Anne Klein pump shoes.

Now I have resorted to Spritzer sparkling water,
only Rm 2.99..
hihihihihihihi
go to www.monin.com
to view more flavours,
they have more than 90 flavours.

*I dreamt of of u again last nite ernie, what are u trying to tell me?? tell me!!! This is so distracting :((((*
