injustice to my nice dear bro! i almost forgot to post this! the SD card was hidden in my baby bag pocket and it was till i check my calendar that i saw i have missed out this important meal! oops and i shall post first and change the date to put it back int place!
19th Sept 2010. a beautiful Sunday! one day after my 5th wedding anniversary, we head out for lunch! 10 course meal and its my bro's treat! wooohooo! Its all good timing! i am thankful that my 5th anniversary fell on a Saturday which means my hubby no need to take leave and dap was available to help us out. Then bro arranged his food tasting session jus a day after and it was just coincidence but i am extrememly pleased with the dates!
Grand Park Cityhall hotel for our lunch treat - job: to help decide the dishes and comment to make it better!
i remembered the roast duck was nice and also the squid from the cold dish was pretty good. the sharkfins soup was alittle lacking in fins but we did mention in the review and during my bro's wedding we were pleased to see more fins... for people who preotect the sharks would prob dislike my comment... i personally loved the asparagus dish! there were enough scallops to go around and i love the capisums too! gx doesnt like capiscums to when baby R grows up, if she dislike it = daddy, love it = mummy! the crispy bits are sure a hit! love this dish!
woooo the best wasabi prawns so far besides the ones from humble house where i first tried this dish! think i requested more sauce not sure if bro wrote that but i was very please on the wedding day cos the prawn was so well-coated! the grape and strawberry not only brings colour to the dish but it was a nice combination! the herbal chicken drew a few draws... cos the outlook when it was served was alittle messy but the chicken was nice! the herbs were flavourful and the dish was to stay on the menu!
pretty lucky for me baby R managed to sleep in the pram for awhile. she arrived the restaurant sleeping and i managed to enjoy my meal till 6th dish... count my blessings! fish was fresh but i have never been a real fish fan and the udon noodles were nice! a little spicy in XO sauce not sure if kids find it hot and overall the dishes were very good! the dessert was changed to my favourite of them all among dessert - yam paste!
after lunch was a walk-about to check out the rom venue and ballroom. at first bro wanted the rom outdoor. All parents were pretty against the idea... they all gently dropped hints that the weather is a factor! it was about the same time in the afternoon that we were in the courtyard and it was scorching hot! and if it rains then that would be a problem too... then it was pretty near the road and the trafiic was pretty noisy... so when we head to the indoor venue for the rom, everyone agreed it was a better choice.
Gx and i have ever stepped into this hotel 5 years ago. then the hotel was not as nicely done up as now. we were surprised when bro told us the hotel he chose but after the food tasting and seeing the nice ballroom we were glad the hotel has revamped. we didnt stay for beer but we got baby R flags from the pub... have never attended a germany beer fest but my gal was excited with her 2 new flags and she couldnt stop swinging the flags in the car all the way back to my mum's hm!
