A taste of French cusine @ The View, Equatorial Penang


It's been a year since I've been The View.
I was F-A-T then. Extremely F-A-T.
I think I started reducing some excessively pounds after that..

More restaurants from:
http://www.equatorial.com/pen/index.php?navi_id=6&sub_navi_id=16

We pre-ordered our food since it was a short lunch break.
Since I was assigned as the organizer for the lunch, I shook hands with the waiter as he greeted us at the door.
Then, we proceeded to our tables, and of course, he helped us with our chairs.
I slowly introduced each of their main courses to the PIC.
*phew*
Tough job.
I even introduced them my managers ->> to ensure that they are given the best service.
So, in future, if we would like to invite VIPs for lunch, I would strongly recommend here, as they provided superb service for us, and very, very very extremely ATTENTIVE to all of us.

My first course was the sardine-like soup.
HE-he. I was commented that I'm like American, soup first?
I explained that it was too crowded over at the appetizers area.

And look at my 3 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of half eaten oysters, some funny stuff..
And again... oysters, some salmon, mixed minced meat, sword fish wrapped with egg, some fish? some jelly-liked appetizer. veg and cream in the shot glass
-> i find it very refreshing though my other friends hated the taste.
It tasted like grass, fresh grass.
perhaps.. fresh wheat grass juice, with the cream, of course.

THe main course -> Rib-eye

Grilled King Cod with hollaindaise sauce.
-> very creamy taste. Yummy sauce.

Grilled King Cod with lemon capers -> THAT'S mine
The flesh is extremely FRESH, and I liked the lemon sauce which made it even more appetizing for my tummy.
Since it's fine dining, I didn't know what to do with the fish skin and rice that I didn't consume.
Thus, I covered the rice with the skin and garnish it back with the fresh leaves
Dessert time - I love the little cakes
- that jam on the spoon is very yucky - tasted like metal
- yummy caramel
- yummy cheese cake
- yummy chocolate muffin
- hard jelly with mango in the candle glass
- banana chocolate cake
- rasberry chocolate cream cake
- one spoon of yummy tiramisu
- cheese cake (again)
- chocolate pudding
- mango and strawberry stick.. :P

chocolate vanilla Ice cream with hersheys topping, almond flakes, grinded nuts, and walnut
- liked it so much that I had two servings
poor cake......
leave it alone ya?

We even requested them to help us on our group photo though.

Told off by your friends. Haha. I don't think the waiter would mind. They shouldn't. I mean, its cheap publicity right?

Oysters...when me and my dbf had buffet at the top of Sydney tower, I enjoyed 27 oysters along with the stunning view. GOOD DAYZ!!!!!!! Very painful on the credit card though.

Seafood in Malaysia is dirt cheap. You all should be eating seafood everyday just to spite all of us overseas.

So far, I think it's still ok.
Most friends know that I'd blog about it, so they didn't really mind. Perhaps, I didn't do it TOO often.
27 oysters!??
I had bad diarrhea on my first encounter with seafood buffet at Genghis Khan, Takashimaya, Singapore. Since then, I try to control a little.

Yes, i agree.. Seafood is still CHEAP here.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
