No, not married 10 yrs but known each other for 10 years. Although I still have much to improve, we still quarrel but I'm glad we stuck to each other all these yrs. There's so much we've been through together. So this year, we thought we should do something out of the mundane to mark it.
So I thought I buy CP a
clutch bag.
So she got me a
wallet belatedly ... and secretly ... I nearly fainted from it. The saving grace is CP knew exactly what I want in a wallet.
So morning we went to the
tree top. It was really fun sweating it out and taking photos along the way, except for the heavy downpour which dampened my spirits somewhat.
After we made it back, we gorged ourselves full at Adam Road food center with mutton soup and prawn noodles!
Then it's to the Singapore Flyer.
The Grand Prix Pit-Stop
The work-in-progress Integrated Resort and casino.
Dinner time at Gunther's!
We first came across it when we had lunch at
Garibaldi next door. Soon after, we saw that it had quite a good review in the Straits Times. Well, why not? So there we were.
We had a half bottle 2005 Chianti Classico Berardenga, Fattoria di Felsina, Toscana for wine.
Teaser - no idea what it it. Gone in a mouthful.
Cold angel hair pasta, Oscietra caviar - A cold dish. The pasta tasted wonderful with the truffle oil. This cost $60 if ordered ala-carte.
Fine tart of tomato confit, grilled smoked bacon, frizee salad - I am not a fan of tomato but this was good. Very good complement to the bacon, with a dash of egg yolk before the tomato confit.
Consommé of pigeon, warm egg yolk, champignon de paris - First time I had clear soup in fine dining. A nice change from the creamy soups. There are bits of semi-boiled egg yolk thrown into the soup, which we found a pleasant suprise. Taste is just right, not too salty or bland.
The main dish -
Cocotte of chicken in the hay. This is simply fantastic. A whole chicken "dry-steamed" in a clear glass pot full of some herbs of sort. Couldn't make out what that was.
The chicken was then divided and served in two different ways.
The first was served as it was. Mama mia! This must be the best steamed chicken I had ever tasted! The meat has fully absorbed the frangrance from whatever herbs in the glass pot and yet so very tender! This is definitely not your normal steamed chicken.
The 2nd serving was done roasted. Slightly cripsy on the outside but still fantastically tender. If not for the price, I would like to go back another time!
Orange Souffle
Chocolate Souffle
So that sums it up for the day. I would love to continue enjoy life and good food with my lovely CP! May God bless us and let each year be better than the last!
