26 Jan Tuesday:
For the very first time, school ended at 1pm. Heaven was on me that day! Rushed home to prepare. Went to fetch Lao & Ahyou at TP. Drove down to town to kill time. Ahyou went to work while we went to park our car at 313. Walan, we park for 1 hour and the parking fee was $8+. Most expensive carpark ever.
Next, we went over to The Fullerton to have our dinner @Forlino.
Its an Italian fine dining restaurant located on the second floor of The Fullerton.
At first, we had a hard time finding the restaurant from the carpark. But we managed to lookout for the Forlino signboard. The place was hell creepy when we reached the entrance. We thought we entered a museum. We had to climb up the flight of stairs and followed by a long vintage path before reaching the Restaurant.
Finally, we sat at the side corner where we can view the IR, Esplanade and Flyers.
We ordered 2glasses of champagne and it tasted like beer.
Homemade Focaccia
One of the restaurant specialties.
It was hard and chewy, and theres a layer of butter inside.
Lao love eating it, he even ordered another plate.
Our Appetizer : Salmon Sashimi
( I forgot what was the name bcas it was a complimentary dish )
Lao ordered Cheese & Meat Platter for his Appetizer.
Everything was raw on the dish itself.
I ordered the Beef Mushroom as Appetizer.
As you can see the beef is red in colour, so yes its raw BEEF!
And Lao claimed it look like Ba Gua. Theres a special sauce to mix with it. And the sauce was quite nice but not for the beef.
Both portion was quite generous and I couldn't finish my starter.
He yawn and wink at the same time.
Main Dish: Homemade Pasta with Baby Lobster
Its like normal pasta with tomato sauce and such. But the only thing that was different was the pasta itself. Its chewy and soft, tasted like "tangyuan".
Main dish : Lamb Chop with Potato Croquettes
One of the best dish served among the rest. The lamb was half done but the skin was crispy. I don't really like the Potato so Lao finished it up.
Oh yes, Lao knows that I kept smth in my bag and refuse to show him. And he's there begging me to show him what's inside my bag. So I took out a red box and gave it to him after we finished our Main course.
Soon after, the waitress gave me a gesture that she will be bringing the Complimentary cake out. And Lao was quite in a shock mode when he saw the waitress behind him holding a light up Chocolate cake.
Everything was done silently. She asked Lao to make a wish and once Lao blow the candle, she hurried away with the cake. Weird.
And finally, I asked him to close his eyes and I placed his birthday present on the table.
Lastly, dessert was well-served including a small slice of the birthday cake.
Strawberry and Honey Jelly with Vanilla Icecream
Apple Strudel with Lemon Icecream
I paid for the bail and we left with a heavy stomach.
Overall, the place has very nice ambience, service was good.
However, price is a lil steep.
Next, I drove down to Flyers which Lao didn't know at first.
We took the last flight at 10pm. And we had the cabin all by ourselves :)
I find the 30min ride was really fast. We both were busy taking photos and trying to see if I manage to see my hse from the top. But once when we reached the top, we didn't dare to stand near the glass window cause we were scared.
All in all, we manage to enjoy ourselves every much. Soon after, we went home.
Its sucha spoiler to have school the next day for Lao while I don't. Hehe
Ohyeah, I was eyeing on this OF tote bag on the web the other day. Lao went to get it for me :)
Lao, hope you enjoyed the plans that I made for your birthday.
Happy 20th Birthday, I love you ♥
