happy vday!!! how was your day!?!?!? hope it was filled with love =) i was actually kind of lazy to celebrate vday but since it is the first time to celebrate it as a married couple, i guess we should still do some standard stuff.... we didnt have any plan of what to eat for lunch since dinner hubby will cook for me =) i actually prefer a simple picnic of home cooked meal by loved ones over eating at some fancy restaurant... so when hubby said he will cook something special for me, i was really excited =) we were consider going to either vivo or JEM to buy dinner ingredients so were scouting for food choices at those 2 places.... then hubby mentioned why not try jamie's restaurant? i was like ok, but i heard that place is always packed... so hubby called & woah!! we can make reservation!??!?! lucky!!!

| food menu |

| drinks menu |
 |
| table set up |
the restaurant look pretty simple, give you more relaxing feel & i think they have 2 section of bar.... they have like a whole page of drinks & majority of them were like alcohol stuff.... hubby checked out the
online menu beforehand so he knew what he want to eat... as for me, the plank thing attracted my attention & decided to give it a shot....
 |
| hubby's macchiato |
the macchiato was really tiny... it was served in a expresso cup i think... & it cost $4.50... well... expensive coffee....
 |
| fish set plank |
my lunch.... the plank is under appetizer section so really not that filling for a full meal... the calamari tasted really nice, fish and shellfish were fine... on the whole, i think this dish was ok.... nothing too fantastic..
 |
| 220g rump steak |
the steak tasted quite nice, pretty soft for a medium well though i would prefer more sauce... i guess is a asian thing that we prefer to drown our meat with sauces....
 |
| our famous polenta chips |
we were really shock when saw this plate... cause our impression of chips will be either crispy potato chips or fries... but it turned out neither.... it actually looked somewhat like fried sweet potato to me... this polenta chips had an unique texture, outside was crispy but inside was still soft... it reminded me of some malay kueh.... not really my kind of food though.... i would say on the whole, jamie's restaurant was ok.... food prices i think were acceptable for a celebrity chef like himself.... but perhaps next time i will try pasta instead.... get myself a more filling meal....
after lunch, we went to vivo giant to buy dinner stuff.... me god!! there were so many people in giant!!! i guess all of them were preparing for chinese new year stuff & we chose the wrong time to buy our ingredients... but no matter, we gotten our stuff & got back home to cook dinner....
 |
| hubby's DIY vday dinner |
so we had risotto with carrot, cream snapper & turkey bacon... some blached asparagus, mushroom & carrot... & pan fried salmon.... a pretty humble meal but really love it cause everything was prepared by hubby =)
