Alrite, it's official, im 23, couple of years more to 25 (my ideal age of getting married..haha)...and there goes my burfday this year, no confetti, no sports car for present, didnt propose to anyone, and neither did any gals propose to me (i fantasize on burfday-marriage-proposal, to save up one celebration..)...
Looking on the bright side, many celebrated for me, toasted for me, and kept me company...I have reserved yesterday for my family, and we went up to Genting (yes, AGAIN...) to celebrate...History repeated itself, slots, seafood, fine dining, wine, cakes...I would particularly like to relate on the Fine Dining part at The Olive...
As the name implies, it is an italian restaurant, fusion with western cuisine...upon entering in, we were offered this wine list, dad didnt want to drink as he would be driving back, but i think the price of the wine was the factor...anyway, we didnt drink wine, but went straight to soups, mains and desserts...
I had this wild mushroom soup, absolutely pungent in flavour, thick and creamy, ate with dinner rolls, smeared with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar...a total winner...then I voted for Spring Chicken with seafood as my main (the steaks are kinda costly)....it was tasty, alongside Scallops (i had alot of 'em for lunch), tiger prawns, asparagus, mussels all arranged delicately in the middle of a large fine China...
One thing i like about fine dining is that everything comes in such small portions, and you will definitely have room for desserts...The ambience was breathtaking, olive coloured interiors decorated with ornaments inside spotless and immaculately polished glasses...i cud seat there all day...
For desserts, i tried mascarpone mousse with ice cream crackers...Delicious, the mousse was smoothly done, wrapped with strawberry pealings and sugar sticks, and everything blended so well with coffee...
The Olive, Genting Highlands - Ratings: 9.5/10
At night, we have red wine (a gift from my friend) - Chateau Pavie (699) and then my parents wished me a year of success, along with sense of maturity...:p
they want me to give 'em a good treat next year on my burfday...Of coz i will, i said...:)
With birthday over, the next thing to look forward to shd b none other than CNY...i wouldnt particularly get all excited where CNY is concerned, it'd b jz another ordinary day for me...the anticipation is there as i would be seeing my friends and relatives again in gatherings, and the best part is that folks started giving you money in fancy red packets for absolutely no reason at all...lovely...
Midterms are around the corner as well, i wonder if im gonna do anything bout it...we'll see....
