Bottega Veneta Cruise 2010

the color = fever
I actually bought the brown one first......
then within 24 hours i thought the brown one looked so old on me :P
and changed it to fever!!!!
*Bagaholic's fav color!!!!*

if u are wondering.....
it's a clutch bag cum lil handbag
the clasp can be remove to create a loop
so u can loop it round ya wrist

Piazza di Spagna, Rome

Spanish Steps has been a magnet for tourists
I dun see wat's so special about this place
just high steps for u to hang out and a landmark church at the top - Chiesa della Trinita dei Monti
*note the obelisk grew outta Monkey's head :P*

I didn't fancy this place coz.....LOOK AT THE CROWD!!!!!
the reason we were here bcoz of the shopping strip!!!
that whole street packed like sardines of human being holds all the famous italian brands
from Gucci to Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Miu Miu, Prada, Armani and Rome's very own Bvlgari

built between 1723 and 1726 it was named Spanish Steps because of the nearby Spanish Embassy
soon it became a place for beautiful men and women to hang out.....errr not to pak tor

but to be spotted and hoping to be chosen as artists' models

hmmmmmm how to spot these beautiful ppl among the crowds leh????
wrong place to be

soon we found a spot to watch sunset :))))))))))))
and climbed all the way to the top

the street was still full of ppl!!!

GAH!!!!!
the tiny van can't even get through :P
how come there's so many ppl in ROME????????

beautiful sunset :))))))))

Prince C's Birthday, Cilantro

Prince C & GOE share the same birthday,
one was celebrating in Spore....the other one here in KL
since both can't make it together at a destination at the same time
*well important ppl are alwiz busy :P*
**Agree????*

the favourite seaweed butter and truffles butter
I just like ordinary rich butter

started the dinner off with a Baby Krug
wei...JS I thought no more liao in the fridge?
this bottle came fr where? or u've been hiding so I won't be sneaking behind your back and whack all your stocks? I'm not like tat rite???
*nyek nyek nyek*

simple dinner, just the 3 of us with really really simple wine
yes we are following Si Fu Lawrence's philosophy - simplicity

Chef Takashi was not available to cook that nite
but he was so sweet to do up a nice menu already
He was celebrating his wedding anniversary!!!! Congratulations!!!!

amuse bouche of scrambled egg inside an egg shell
very delightful

the men were busy whacking the awesome bread with the awesome butter

one super favourite dish at Cilantro :))))))))
cold capellini with sea urchin and avruga caviar

oh yea...must credit mention first...nanti he merajuk
all pics taken by Mr. JS using his Canon Mark IV

white asparagus and foie gras
white asparagus is in season now but I must say it's not the same if u eat them in Europe
it has a slight golden bitterness that's very yummy
2 years ago, I brought back fr Switzerland for JS to cook
and it's super cheap there....
think I brought back bundles and he couldn't finish em and had to throw :(((

Foie gras is another favourite for Prince C
he uses them to fried rice at home
T_T

roasted hirame fish and poached oyster
the oyster on my plate went to the birthday boy
another favourite his
well the menu of the nite was certainly made for him

think we were so obedient to have 1.5 bottles only :))))

this is wat I call moderation....:P
more like not enuff forum to drink more....WAKAKAKAKA
so dear Singapore AA gang...know how blessed u guys are
with all the top notch restaurants everywhere and availability of wines and kakis to indulge
in Malaysia I have yet to find this bunch of ppl
:(((((

some sour sorbet to cleanse the palate

JS had his usual off the menu aka open food seafood pasta

birthday boy had lobster with deep fried zucchini flower

Monkey had wagyu beef with nanohana - broccolini
*the col of the beef in the pic is a bit pale*
**blame it on the flash**

sear em on the hot stone according to ur liking
just look at the fats...I mean where's the MEAT???
YUMMO!!! melts~~~~

so Prince C went out for a smoke and we gave him a lovely surprise :P

one year older one year wiser
and he got a bottle of pressie fr us

Romanee St Vivant
WaaaaaaaAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

the ritual of snapping pic with the birthday boy

my turn!!!!!

yummy tiramisu cake
thank u for arranging, Jason :)))))))))))

coffee or tea or me?

rhubarb souffle

homemade chocolate truffles

kinda forgotten the name of this chocolate dessert
with figs
good combo

so I m not JS
I won't blog about a person's horoscope/zodiac
:P
coz I dunno how :P

but being logic and general
Prince C was born in the year of oink oink

hence he has such good oink oink life
eat and sleep only

yeah he doesn't work :P

but when he does get down to his butt to work
u better watch out coz this man is ferocious
yeah that reminds me...he's also ferocious behind all his wheels
the man who taught me to speed at 270km on the highway and it's ok
promised meself will never do tat again :P
pls dun force me to drive ur car again hehehehe
