It was 17th of the month again!
Just in case you are new to this site, the boy and i celebrated every 17th of the month, which is the day we are officially attached. It is not glamorous party or other elaborated forms of celebration that i was talking about, but just a simple day we spent together with maybe better foods or short trips or other stuff that we don't usually do.
the boy and i went to the much anticipated Delicious for brunch to kick start the wonderful day!
Located at the rooftop of City Square.
Spotted red velvet cake!!
Kinda miss the pavlova cake i had had years ago but i had no stomach space to accommodate it after the meal. TOO FULL. T_T
awwwwww lemon meringue tart and lava cake!!
Did i mention that the cakes are going at 50% after 9pm? (Sunday to Thursday only T_T)
They were having this 2-course Set Lunch promo for weekday and Set Brunch for weekend. We hardly had chance to enjoy this kind of weekday promo hence we gave up the brunch set and settled with this.
For RM24.90++ you get either soup or dessert with a main course of your choice.
Ice lemon tea and sugar syrup. DIY for your own preferred sweetness!
I liked the lemon tea as it really tasted like tea rather than those commonly-served ones which taste like sugar syrup in lemon flavour. If you get what i meant.
Cream of Pumpkin Soup with Parmesan Cheese and Truffle Oil
Liked the soup! Although i could not taste the truffle oil at all but the addition of cheese made it really creamy and pumpkin-y.
Duck Confit Spaghettini
I was expecting the whole duck confit so was kinda disappointed when it was served this way. The duck confit itself had not been well done and the noodle was quite dry too.
Homemade Pesto Spaghettini
This would be a highly-recommended dish!!!!!!!!
It was my first time trying pesto and i did not know pesto sauce is so good! So rich and creamy and the flavour just burst and lingered in your mouth.
MUST-TRY!!!!!!!
with additional Grilled Chicken at RM9.90++
The pasta was a plain one so you were given the option of additional grilled chicken at extra cost. Seriously i could not tell it was a grilled chicken coz the flavour was quite bland.
IMO you could just go with the plain pasta and it was good enough on its own.
Banoffee Tart
Not so nice. :(
I would prefer a more toffee-ish banoffee tart but this apparently was not one. It was basically a tart with thick layer of cream on top of the banana chunk with toffee layered at the bottom.
I bet it would taste much better with more toffee!
Couple with stomach full of foods is happy couple!
After that we headed to Setia Tropika to apply for registration of marriage.
ie. apply for permission to get married -_-
I have no idea prior to this that you will need to register first before you can get married. All i thought was going to somewhere which offers ROM service and make your vows in front of a Marriage Commissioner and sign the marriage certificate and that's it. =______________________=
Luckily it was quite straightforward though. Just get a queue number to obtain this form, fill it up and get a Commissioner for Oath to sign. After that bring it back to the officer from whom you got this form. The officer will then sign on it and that's it! Of course not without a fee too. This registration cost RM20 and we also paid RM25 the Commissioner for Oath (and the runner).
You might be wondering where the runner came from. LOL
What happened was, we went to the shop nearby to look for Commissioner for Oath but ran into a Malay man in crumpled top and bermuda shorts (!), who was about to light up a cigarette and have his own sweet time chillax. He saw us and asked if we were getting married and we said yes without any doubt. This guy then took the form and directed us into a shop to get seated. After he filled up our particulars in the section for the Commissioner for Oath, he told us to wait for a while and then walked away. And you know what? In 10 minutes' time that guy came back with the form signed.
=_______________________________=
So we did not even meet the Commissioner for Oath nor make any pledge at all before we could get the signature. The malay guy aka the runner had it done for us instead.
????!!!!!!
What's the point of this whole Commissioner for Oath thing then???
Perhaps the Commissioner for Oath really have faith in all the wedding couples that he 100000% believes they are genuinely serious about this marriage thingy since nobody would spend their precious time doing all these nonsense for fun. Hence making pledge in front of the Commissioner for Oath to show your sincerity is totally not necessary but needed for formality purpose. Therefore we just have to pay the fee and get what we want without following the actual procedures.
=_______________________________=
Now come to think of it, i had no idea why we did not even clarify if that malay guy was a Commissioner for Oath before following him and even did whatever we were told. -.-
The boy and i believed that the part of the RM25 we paid for actually went to the Malay guy's pocket, for his kind assistance on getting things done without having us to go up-and-down.
And then it was dinner at Matterhon!
Table setting with linen napkin.
And the atas Acqua Panna that cost RM9.90 was the only water they served. So i brought the bottle home lolol.
I thought it would make a nice vase. Right? :D
Porchini Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil. RM15.90
I love anything with truffle! lolol
This was a special dish that day so it was not in the standard menu.
It was really good and SUPER HUGE!!!!!!!!
Look at this:
and mind you, the bowl was not a shallow one.
I was already half full when it was finished. T______________T
Chicken Bratwurst with Butter Grilled Potato RM24.90
This was from the Appetiser section as we would be sharing the main course.
It was not as good as pork bratwurst but i liked the grilled potato! It was slight charred at the skin but was pretty delicious.
Chicken Ala Kiev RM33.90
It was deep fried chicken stuffed with seafoods, kinda like chicken cordon bleu.
Very crispy and creamy, indeed good for sharing as it would be too cheesy and creamy for one person (with normal appetite).
Not to forget the crispy-outside-mashy-inside giant fries! The boy said it should be called potato wedges lolol.
With scallop! but only 1 piece. -_-
This dish was not really exceptionally good and it did not leave me with deep impression too.
The overall dining experience was good as the ambience was awesome. I would categorize it in between a casual and fine dining place. Food wise, the price was at the high side for the foods they provide.
But i will go back for the soup though. Really loved it!
****** ****** ******
It was a Monday night so the boy still got to work the next day. He sent me home straight after dinner since the hazy weather did not allow any outdoor activity.
Speaking of haze, thank God that the haze has gone away for good! Please do not ever come back again. :(
So that's all for the 94th months of love. Two more month before we enter the new phase of life together. :)
how do i live without u, 12.19am
