Lunch 28 Sept 2008

Since i do not need to go to the yard yesterday, i basically rot in the hotel whole day. Only to go out for lunch and dinner. For lunch i went to Capri again. The staff already recognised me n ask if i wan the expensive beer i had yesterday. I straight away say no coz i was thinking of eating something expensive. lol Dun wanna later spend over 100 for a meal. lol But end up i drank hoegarden which is also one of the expensive stuffs... lol

So in the end i ordered, hoegarden, chicken salad, and agio olio pasta.

I saw my client ate this before so i was pretty sure it would be good. The was generous number of chicken and the greens were good. But i prefer the jook's one coz they serve rockett and the seafood were much better.

For mains, i had Agio Olio which is a basic pasta . This one i feel really test a chef whether is they know how to cook good pasta. I remember i was watching a cooking show, one guy went to italy to learn pasta cooking. and i remember specifically the famous chef says a good Agio Olio is preduced with good control of fire over the olive oil. Overheat will burn the oil n spoils the taste. But this one i think its undercook. Coz the olive oil fragrance is not totally out. There is also a unique mint fragrance which reminds me of the mint leaves from the beef noodles in vietnam. But the noodles is pretty nice. Maybe salty ba, lol i like...

Next for dinner i went to Jook's again. Kinda like the place, bascially i like the ambience some more without mosquitos flying around... But actually today i experience a few bugs flying around too. Think my fav restuarant is the Capri restuarant ba. Lesser flys some more they hav a powerful bug killer at one corner. lol.

Oh yesterday also managed to catch half of the F1 race on expn sports channel in the restuarant. But i didnt see till the end. Initially Massa was doint quite well one. But the freak accident in the pit caused him his victory. Then i was thnking maybe Luis Ham or Raikonnen will make it. Only till the morning then i ralised Alonso was first. He was in the 15th position during start leh. Thats something surprising. Anyway i also dun understand the concept of the safety car. How come the car come out, everybody have to follow behind it? not fare loh. Those good engine car will lose out on it loh. Anyway i am not a fan of such event. I always think to spend so much jus to be there to deafen urself and to catch a glimpse of the cars is pretty wasted of money. I prefer to spend it on something useful or even on a special meal, with some nice photos of it so that i can enjoy it always. ;)

Anyway back to my dinner, I tried the ribeye steak this time.

Well i guess the pic doesnt show anything since the night shot is shit... Then again, the day shot also shit. lol. So i had this Ribeye steak. Supposely to be with red wine sauce, but they came with black pepper sauce. With i dun mind, but i jus had it with the lamb the other day so i was more interested to try another flavour. This time i order medium too, i felt it more like medium rare to me. Though it is dark, i can see that there is much pinkish in the meat and a normal steak knife cannot cut it easily... Overall, i dun think i like the steak. The lamb is much better. :)

Well, they serve very nice mushroom soup though. Wait, not the soup, but the garlic bread. Its supre nice. Soft yet crunchy on the outside. With slight garlic fragrance, not too heavy. The soup is creamy n tasty but i would prefer a bigger chunks of mushroom ba. Those tiny "bitsy" really make me wonder if they are mushroom. Not those bron ones on top hor, those are the bread crutons.

Ok then, time to go for my dinner le. Back to the Capri rest. Gonna be my fav rest here. Yeah!!!
