NYE Dinner

11:03

This year daddy said that he wanted a different nye's dinner rather than the usual Chinese cuisines so we had an Italian nye's dinner at Ristorante Becarri in Merdeka Palace. This was my first experience with such fine dinning.

Since we were such a large group, the restaurant gave us the private dinning hall. The only downside was that they should have given us a loooong table instead because we were then separated into two groups.

First thing that came to mind sitting down was which utensils to us first. lol
Now I know that we're suppose to use them from the outside in.

Selfies with mommy and sister before eating.
Daddy was at the other table with his friends because they were drinking whiskey and we drank wine at our table.

Complimentary champagne. Cheers!

"Amuse Bouche" (Complimentary Appetizer) Cappuccino D'Funghi

Mushroom Cappuccino served in a Chinese Tea Cup

This tasted soooo goood. I didn't taste the Cappuccino in the soup tho. I think the only resemblance of Cappuccino was the foam. Foamy soup. lol Something different.

Hor D'oeuvres | Antipasto Gran Tricittico

Chef's creation of cold appetizers consisting of prawn, scallop, grilled mixed vegetables and smoked mussels.

Appetizer

Slow cooked duck with plum sauce

The third course should have been Foie Gras but the chef said that the foie gras wasn't in the best condition so they changed it to duck.

Soup | Zuppa Toscana

Cream of pumpkin garnished with potatoes, beans, carrot and Parmesan cheese

Entree | Salmone E Cipola Caramelleta Crostata

Caramelized onion and pan seared Salmon served with Hollandaise Cream

My favorite among all. Can I have another plate?

Main Dish | Pollo Roulade Engnello Su Au Gratin

Rack of lamb on a potato-cream Au Gratin garnished with Alfalfa Sprout laced with Rosemary sauce and boneless stuffed Chicken roulade with Thyme served with selected garden vegetables on a bed of sweet capsicum 'Peperonata'

By the time the main course came I was too full to finish it
