Cicada

Dinner with Kaizhi and Eng Fong. Since we've got a car, i insisted that we should head somewhere where its only accessible by car. The few newly popped up lifestyle hubs came to mind. We called Prive only to find it fully booked for today and tomorrow. =(

Cicada had seats though! Thanks to lil bee and Ronald.

the journey there was quite a challenge though... coz we're like 3 'directionless' ladies.. of which the driver is newly licensed.. haha..

thank god for my dearest bro who gave good directions.. we probably would never get there w/o him.

so there...

some pictures i managed to take while toying with my camera's modes...











and the especially round moon as pointed out by Eng Fong...



and Kudos to Ronald for the night. Its apparent that all the staffs have been properly trained and coached offering very attentive services.

The crowd was mainly executive and the place was quiet and cosy. Ideal place for our catching up tonight!

the food!

the seafood bisque soup (around $13 - $15 if i recall correctly)...



which i LOVE LOVE LOVE. its very thick and tastes alot like the lobster bisque soup from Jacks place except dat its much thicker and tastier. But, eng fong and kaizhi didnt like it coz they find it too thick and they don't like the hay gor taste. So if u love the hay gor taste like me, u absolutely hafta try this!

we also shared a crab caesar salad...







it came with poached egg and bacon. Yummy! Eng Fong and Kaizhi liked it as well.

we also had a buttermilk mashed potato ($5)...



the mashed potato had a very light taste.. i thought i tasted olive oil..

the capellini with slipper lobster ($23)



its good! the sauce was really addictive and it gets to me.

the scallop pizza....



a closer up view...



very finely sliced scallop so couldnt really taste the scallop in my view. But loved the thin crust. Eng fong and kaizhi liked this better den i did.

and finally, the star for tonight!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie Crunch Cake....





its SO SO SO SO DIVINE! The sugar level in the chocolate was just nice, not too sweet and it was rich yet not too rich.. the middle layer is where the peanut butter crunch is... the ice cream was totally smooth and when you slide it onto the cake, its simply scumptious!! all 3 of us were wowed by it~!

the portion is also quite big so i'd highly recommend u share it!

and the very thoughtful lil bee brought me my english breakfast tea...



thank cute for being so thoughtful and always remembering!
