How come it changed from a tall, dark [well tanned] and handsome to bibir extra merah, muka konfius antara lelaki or perempuan and kulit selembut kulit bayi?
I am lost.
June 2011
This will be the last entry about Siem Reap, sorry it took so long, was juggling between baking and being sick.
Right after the spa session, we headed to a french fusion restaurant in the same hotel, Sofitel Angkor for dinner. This restaurant was my sister in law’s favourite that she ate here almost every night while she was staying at the hotel [as told by one of the waiters here].
It is called Mouhot’s Dream
The restaurant
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were warmly greet by the waiter who seated us at the waiting area sambil mahu membuka sebotol wine. Well, he actually popped one bottle but we told him we were not drinking.
The dinner was also a surprise, I know we are going to have dinner but I didn’t know it was a candle light dinner.
Dinner for two :)
Complete with candles, roses and different of glasses and cutleries.
And the restaurant being located to a beautiful lake yang penuh dengan lotus adalah turut to contribute kepada mood petang itu.
So beautiful!
It was perfect 1
To be honest, I have never dine in such a way, candle light and such and that moment perasaan adalah sangat overwhelming and dalam hati ada taman teratai.
Rasa macam dalam drama tv pun ada jugak except it didn’t feel tacky. Chewah.
When we were seated, we ordered our drinks while the waiter explained that the dinner that night will be 3 course meal – entree, main dish and dessert; all pre-picked by my sister in law.
The moment we finished ordering, the chef of the restaurant, Adam [if I am not mistaken] came to our table and explained us about the food that we were about to have followed by small talk.
I told bedmate, now I know that the sister in law is such a romantic person for arranging this dinner for us but then he said, she arranged it but I make it happen.
Ah, you pencair hati yewww.
But.
Bila aku pandang ke atas meja, aku berasa panic seperti Julia Roberts dalam Pretty Women sebab acik mana reti nak guna cutleries bermacam-macam ni ok. Ni siap ada fork besar, fork sederhana, fork kecik, forsk serampang 3. Apakah?
Ahhhhhh sudahhh. Camana niiiiiiiiiiii?
Tersenyum dalam kegelupuran
Well, if you know us, you will know that we are not the type yang akan control macho dan cun bila makan dan lain-lain hal, so we just eat as the way we like.
Asalkan masuk mulut.
The dishes came with its own cover macam dalam cafe world [sempat lagi tu]
Duck pate
This was not the entree but we had a plate each, a complimentary from the restaurant.
Usually I will hate liver to the core but this one was extremely delicious, especially when eaten with toasted bread.
His entree - Baby lobster
I tried some, they were juicy and tender but mine was to die for.
Something salmon, sort-of-carpaccio
This was divine.
Although it looked like some orange lempeng dengan papadom but really, this is the definition of melt in your mouth salmon. With the combination of caviar, entree ini sangatlah orgasma berganda.
His main dish
This was also good.
Mine
Not bad, lembut dan lemak.
We took turns to taste each other food, the portion is not so big , just nice to tastela kata orang. But it was full of flavour.
And then came the dessert.
Some chocolate cake with sorbet
Honestly, I can’t even take a look at cakes anymore these days but the sorbet was nice. Swirly seemed to like them.
Mine was something that I like, creme brulee with 3 flavours.
From left- original, green tea and jasmine tea flavour
The creme brulee also came with mango sorbet yang setap. I also love to nibble on the caramel sort-of-biscuits that came along with the dessert.
Oh, my favourite flavour was the green tea. Not too overpowering.
Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner and lain dari apa yang we used to do.
♥
It was nice to do something different yet intimate like this once in a while. More than nice, actually. Cuma kalau hari-hari sangap jugak kot, nak nasik ok. Nasikkkkkkkkk dengan kuah masak lemak extra, sambal belacan jangan lupa.
After swirly had his coffee with some meringue, we made our way back to our hotel, with a stalk of rose in my hand, given by one of the staff as we walked out from the restaurant.
And that's my neck rest, comel tak?
It was a perfect ending for a perfect trip.
Ok, bukan ending sebenarnya sebab lepas tu swirly makan mee pulak dekat pub street. Perut buaya kan dia ni? Dah kenyang macam nak mati pun nakkkk jugak makan lagi tu.
Tapi nasib baik chenta.
- except for my semi-dry hair ↩
Hari tu aku pergi tesco, sebenarnya nak cari garam tapi macam biasa mesti terbeli benda lain. Antaramya budu cap ketereh. Disebakan aku cuba untuk tidak menggunakan beg plastik lagi, I stuffed all the things that I bought inside my shopping bag.
Tapi macam biasa, aku mesti terlupa aku ada isi barang dalam tu dan membiarkannay selama seminggu sehinggalah last week nak beli barang kek, I noticed eh ada bendalah dalam beg ni, di mana antaranya sebotol budu yangg macam dah tertumpah sikit.
Argh, apasalla aku selalu ada attitude macam ni, attitude pelupa and tak kesah. Kan beg shopping bau budu.
Anyway, aku sebenarnya terlupa aku ada budu tu sampailah semalam di mana aku ternampak botol tu balik [macamana bedmate tak marah, beli-beli 3 tahun kemudian baru ingat pernah beli benda tu :P], so I was determined to eat it for lunch the next day.
Ingat nak goreng kepak lepas tu cicah budu makan dengan nasi panas.
Tapi lepas junior aku, wahida twit kata makan dengan lauk singgang pun sedap terusssssssssssssssssss aku tuka plan masak singgang.
Bila pergi pasar, terjumpa jering tua pulak.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ikan pelaling masak singgang + budu dengan cili api and bawang + jering tua.
Terbaikkk.
Cuma sekarang aku menyesal sebab beli ikan tu 2 ekor je, kunun-kunun nak makan sikit, dietla katakan [koff koff]. Tadi dah makan dua, habis malam ni camanaaaaaaaaa?
Terpaksalah aku makan kfc hot and spicy beserta egg tart yang setap itu.
