Novus

after work, i went over to Novus for dinner with Cynthia...



she was late so i took seats first. the place is very quiet tonight. probably less den 3 tables and totally romantic to come with a loved one. =)

the classy interior.....









their menu...



its quite funny when i saw the menu, the instincts developed from overplaying the 'Restaurant City' application on fb simply got me thinking of the ingredients that are required for the lobster bisque soup. " lobster, lemon and butter ", i thought to myself. haha

when cynthia came, i shared the joke with her and she was telling me how when she with for lunch today wif ferlyn n shujun and the servers were ignoring them when they tried to ask the server for something, the girls commented... " she is just like the server from restaurant city.. can only do one thing at a time one "

haahha.. so u probably can tell how hooked we are on the game. haha

when cynthia arrived and we ordered, we were first served a basket of bread...



i think the bread wasnt fantastic and the olive oil didnt come with vinegar.. i would haf preferred the type that comes with vinegar.

initially i thot was just a simple dinner and catching up but cynthia said this can be my birthday treat. she only told me when bill came... should haf told me earlier right.. den i can order the more expensive items! haha.. im kidding!

we were first served a complimentary started. it was some octopus salad kinda...



not too bad..

cynthia ordered a lychee martini....



we both had a lobster bisque soup....



the soup was ok.. not very thick. but the lobster cubes were really delicate!

see how they are packed into little bite sized like dumplings...



while the soup was not bad, it not one of my favourite lobster bisque.

we were also highly recommended the tuna carpaccio...



it has got rockets on the side and pinenuts. the tuna was very finely sliced and tasted really good.

for mains, i had the white truffles linguine.. its display is so cute!





the egg is a half boiled egg....



i think this is my first time having truffle. it was pretty ok but tasted a bit gerlard after awhile.

cynthia went for the gnocchi....



comes with salad..



cynthia commented dat it tasted like tang yuan. hahaa...i think it tastes is pretty good. the cream sauce is nice.

was feeling too full for desserts but cynthia wanted to try their apple strudel...



im not really a strudel person ... but i really dun think its fantastic.

thank cute for the treat Cynthia!
