Wine Clearance Dinner with M People

Dining room all set for 10 serious adults
whom drove all the way across the causeway to assist JS & Monkey to clear their wine cellar
coz we weren't drinking fast enuff

J&J inc delivered more inventory fr Singapore that very same day
J&J Jelina: "Eh we r drinking 5 bottles tonite...and we just delivered 24 bottles....this isn't right leh..."

yea...at this rate...the cellar is growing again....
u guys need to come down more often.

the lounge at Cilantro
nice comfy underground lounge for smoking and private function
we had the room downstairs that came with this :)))))))

we were early to prepare the wines
JS arranged everything in order and gave instructions to the Quiet Sommelier on wat to do
he's the quietest sommelier I've ever met before...dun think we ever spoke to each other
different frequency perhaps??

JS came eppy-ly to me: "I strike TOTO today!!!"
Monkey: "why?"
JS: "Finally Quiet Sommelier spoke to me!!!!"
Monkey rolled eyes.......yea yea...
well as a sommelier u need to be able to engage with your diners
anyway that's another long story, I dun want this place to be a complaint centre~~~~~

Chef Takashi....I think when u r back home...I'll be in Tokyo already :)))))))

*counting days.....arghhhh faster come!!!!!*

then our guests came - the M People
all came with wine notes, cameras and a HUGE APPETITE

Choco Markie lurve his bread and Truffle Butter
he's only 4 years old and as tall as a 7 year-old!!!!
I dun believe it!!!!

Choco Markie created a new dish for Cilantro - Loop Grain Bread
he's such a darl...and sat quietly the whole evening dining like any adults would
this one already trained since young....even mommy let him had a nose on all the wines and champagnes..

yea must train their palate while they r young...
if start later like me than have a lot of catching up to do~~~~

GOE is all ready!!!!
on the way to KL, they've already whacked some food at Yong Peng

yums!!!!!!
sea urchin is alwiz welcomed :P

Amuse Bouche of Sea Urchin with carrot juice foam
hmmmm how often u get this as amuse bouche?
niente!!!

Ocean Trout with thinly sliced daikon and shiso and sea salt on top
so fine lar the mis-en-place

the gang bz chomping and snapping away

inside this glass was a single yummy fresh oyster which was lightly smoked served in vichysoisse
vichysoisse is like a soup/puree made fr leeks onions potatoes etc

ohhh another yumsss
Roasted Sable Fish with scallop and Coriander
those baby leaves there are baby coriander sprouts...such subtle sweet taste

my favourite for the evening was this CHICKEN!!!!!!
french chicken with foie gras and summer truffles
done 2 way with a crispy piece and the other one was moist silky smooth

JS dun take chicken so he had another pasta with generous amount of shaved summer truffles
basically summer truffles are not as pungent as the black one
but our favourite is still Tartufo Bianco fr Alba :D heeeeeeeee

we were eagerly waiting for this one...to pair with our wines :)))
grilled Blackmore Wagyu with picquant sauce and yuzukoshou

Yiks had a generous amount and almost the ate the whole animal :P
while he was bz puffing at the lounge everyone donated an extra piece to him

he came in staring at his plate...wah so generous
chomp chomp chomp
mopped his plate clean then somebody unveiled to him :P

Yiks, Joanna and Choco Markie
I think Choco Markie has got Mommy's beautiful smile

very very tame evening....
WOTN = Musigny

J&J James scheming how can he store DURIANS after this dinner
he's been planning the second he arrived Malaysia's shore
quite disappointing coz in the end there was no DURIANS
it's all MUNCHY's fault!!!!!

it's all this bugger's fault....shoot him!!!

anyway we will plan a serious Durian trip again ok?
but we have to drive into the jungle into some precious orchard
keen????

Fedellini pasta with lobster and dried tomatoes
again everyone mopped the plates clean while declaring that they are stuffed

J&J inc
