The mahjong-kakis ate in style at Al Dente Trattoria, an Italian restaurant at Colours of the Bay Esplanade, this evening to celebrate Theresa's birthday!
Thanks to the AMEX promotion, we "could have been able" (???) to enjoy the main courses at 1-for-1. Why? lol.
We were enjoying this wonderful appetizer, Antipasti Sampler Platter... Salami slices, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes with mozzarella cheese, ham with melon & cold seafood cuts on fresh garden greens...
...when 阿发 said that he had left his AMEX card at home! We all knew he is good at cracking such cold jokes. Unfortunately, it was true!
Anyway, we went on to enjoy our main courses which we couldn't really make out what they were from the menu till we saw them in front of us! Our birthday girl had the Filleto di mauve? Anyway, its beef tenderloin ragout of mushroom and pancetta with red wine glazed... mmmm yum yum. Juicy and tender!
Dear had Pesce al forno... which is oven roasted red snapper and baked potatoes in lemon butter sauce.
阿发 had Arragosta. Its risotto of tomato and slipper lobster with basil and grana pandano.
And finally, I had the Arragosta e zabagllion di prosecco. Its baked slipper lobster and king prawns, sauteed bean and leek, in prosecco zabaglione. It was fantastic! Yum yum yum!
The dinner was definitely worth the price. Even if it wasn't, we also had to convince ourselves after knowing the "1-for-1 that could had been...". :p In the end, we were more than happy to settle with 15% off discount with credit card of another bank. I ain't a gourmet expert, neither do I know how to describe food with flowery words. All I can say again is this meal is YUM YUM YUM! I would suggest those who feel they have a deep pocket for the day or want to enjoy a sumptuous authentic Italian meal to give it a try. But before that, you may wanna brush up your Italian abit so as to read the menu better! lol.
Once again, Happy Birthday Theresa!
