Birthday dinner with Yan

Today is the birthday of Yan (GeorG's younger sister) and our friend - Polly.

Let us say Happy Birthday to both birthday girls and we wish you pretty and healthy as always!

As GeorG's friends are coming to visit us next week, so today, we aim to do nothing but cleaning the rooms! The most noticable task we've done today is : putting a new cloth to our air-cons :

Perhaps my home is too dusty, after cleaning here and there, i feel sick, especially with my nose! The condition deterioriates very quickly, i start to have running nose and keep sneezing >.<

My God, we have a very important dinner appointment tonight....we are going to have dinner with Yan @ Nicholini's, it would be so ugly to have a running nose sillyer to dine in such a prestigious italain restaurant ~.~"

Well, with a little hope that I might get better after breathing the air @ Admiralty, we go out earlier to have a littleshop around, and @ PP, we meet the 3rd Christmas Tree in this year :

Back to the star of tonight : the birthday dinner.....this is the first time for 3 of us to visit this restaurant, my sister said it is good though not as nice as Sabatini, well, let's give it a try.

The restaurant's decoration is not as grand as i expect, without any traits of Italian fine-dining setting indeed...but the service is good...all and all, it is a 5-star hotel :p

When we have settled down and started to read the menu, the captain came to show us their seasonal food : "whitle truffles" and let us smell. GeorG and Yan both smell it, but since i m sick and i dont want to "infect" the precious truffle, i didnt dare to put my nose close to it :p

Frankly, the truffle really have strong smell, but none of us seems to be interested in trying its dishes. (唔識欣賞, 費事浪費) So it turns out that Yan and I ordered a 3-courses dinner set while GeorG just ordered a main dish (as he feel very full after drinking 2 cups of Starbucks Mocha :p).

All the dishes are nice (seafood soup + goose liver with black truffle as appetizers and lobster linguine for our set-dinner, tenderloin with goose liver for GeorG), and even the breads and sorbet are nice ^o^

As it was Yan's birthday, we have arranged a cake for her in advance, it is a chocolate truffe cake, so nice ^o^ (I found that it costs $240 for the cake if ordered in Conrad's cake shop!) It is really a nice and generous restaurant, when we have finishing the cutting ceremony for the b-day cake, the waiter helped us to cut 3 little slices and serving each of us a dessert plate (with ice-cream and some cheeries and sauce). And they pack the rest of the cake for take-away.

To enlighten the night, the waiter helped us to take a polaroid which later make it into a birthday card! And to our surprise, the restaurant has sent Yan a little bear bear, so lovely ^o^ Here are the photos we took at the dinner :

If you r having the Conrad VIP card of the HSBC credit card, i think this restaurant is worth a try, especially on birthday ^o^

Once again, Happy Birthday to Yan (and Polly)....and also to GeorG for treating us this expensive dinner ^o^ yeah yeah !!
