Forlino

and tonight, is my birthday celebration (yes, again!) with meina and aloy! they asked me about where i'd like to eat and among Forlino, Garibaldi and Mortons, they chose Forlino!

Aloy came to pick me up from my place before heading over to pick meina up together. Such sweet friends i have!

Forlino!






they have a hydralic lift...




and a super lovely walkway!




the whole restaurant is actually not very big but its very cosy and it has fabulous view...





see, this side oversees the MBS and flyer...




and they have this big chunk of Parmesan cheese....



which they serve unlimited servings of the cheese shavings....





which is SUPER AWESOME! i loved it! we had like 4 plates of it!

it was quite funny because initially we were unsure of what cheese it is. i guessed it to be parmesan whilst aloy guessed it to be mozerella so we told aloy to ask and aloy said.. " i dont need to ask coz im definitely right "

it was Parmesan! hahaha

complimentary bread...



we ordered one degustation set ($158). service was very good here by the way. much much MUCH better than dolce vita.

the set comes with a foie gras...




which was nice!




we also added a beef carpaccio...



the beef carpaccio is really good!! we enjoyed it! decent portion also.

another dish thats part of the set is the black cod tortelloni ...



this was decent with the fish feeling a bit chow chor-ish.. just a slight bit but generally ok.

next on the degustation menu is the boston lobster...




succulent lobster. the sauce was not very strong in taste but overall it was decent.

for mains, we ordered a ravioli of veal in saffron sauce...










meina liked it. i think i would like it better if the sauce is thicker. haha.. i think im comparing it to the one at Oso.

the mains for the degustation menu is the veal cheeks....




the veal cheek portion is small. but the veal cheek is super good!! sooooo tender!!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!

but the mashed potato below is not nice. looks so good but actually taste so gluey. i dont like it.

Aloy ordered a seafood casserole...





decent.

we were also served plates of sweet cracker like things...



decent for me but meina and aloy didnt really eat it.


and then the SUPER AWESOME chocolate lava cake arrived!










the ice cream is actually peppermint. the lava cake is just damnnnnnnnn good! after trying, i said.. " this is one of the better molten chocolate cake i've had in a long while.. "

and aloy paused for a while and agreed very seriously. many places are selling this but its been a long while since a place


thank you for the wonderful dinner. love the ambience, love the company!
