as we got to Bellini Grande, we were welcomed by a lady door hostess at level one. She invited us into the lift after we told her table for 2.
As we entered the lift, JJ told me.. " den she will run up and meet us upstairs "
him being him, i thot he was kidding. i thot its another one of his jokes but turned out that he was not kidding. the lady hostess was really upstairs by the time the lift door opened and i was like .. " is this really the same lady? or is this some kinda joke? "
so i actually asked.. " if she is also coming up, why didnt she just join us in the lift? ".. i went ahead to ask the lady instead and she told me that joining the guests in the lift, is only by invitation and i told the lady.. " you should have told us " haha
when i told JJ what we corresponded, he felt SO BAD. so i asked him.. " uh huh.. so how many times have u been here? "
he replied.. " erm... i've been here 3 - 4 times? "
den i teased... " so how many times did u make people run upstairs? "
and he went.. " 3 - 4? i didnt know! "
hahahhaa
anyway, the place was beautiful and it was a good place to have a quiet dinner....
we were first served the complimentary bread. they said this is one of their special bread...
it smells quite good. taste was not bad also.. there was some vegetables inside the swirl.
the condiments to go with the bread...
we both went for the crab meat soup served in a rather unique looking bowl....
the portion of crab was quite decent..
Taste wise, i didnt find it fantastic or think. i had a decent crab flavour but i thot it would taste better if it was thicker and was saltier.
for mains, he went for the catch of the day while i had veal steak.
his catch of the day...
the fish was not bad... there was also cha soba and it was seasoned in some sesame sauce.
my veal steak...
this is so so good! the veal is super tender and though it didnt have a very strong taste of its own but it was very nicely marinated! the potatoes were good as well but the stewed mushrooms on the side were fabulous! its got this red wine stew kinda sauce that goes superbly well wif the mushrooms. love it!
the place was so cozy that we literally wanted to just sit our night away here. Service was excellent as well.
thank cute for the treat!
