today is my darling's birthday.
sigh....due to our fears of all the upcoming costs of babycare and all, plus my constant discomfort and need for food.. we decided not to do what we do each year....and instead, we just decided to go for a good dinner........Darling's been craving for good pasta....so I thought of going to Prego...after all, it is quite well-known, and i've heard some good stuff about it........we definitely were not disappointed......i'd expected a slightly upmarket place, but the atmosphere was rather casual....i'd attribute it to the location of being in a shopping centre, and the fact that it's linked to the hotel.......service was superb, and the staff were very attentive, constantly checking if we were doing okay, and if the food was alright.....food was not bad, and for a place like that, i think the price was rather reasonable.....told them it was darling's birthday when i made the reservations, and he got a nice surprise when they presented him with the cake.....Been a really really long time since we both indulged ourselves in good food, and i reminded him to splurge today, especially since it's his birthday..... it sure feels good to enjoy yummy scrumptious food.......thank god Baby kept it down!!! or it'd have been an absolute waste of money!!!
Enough talking though....the pics will be able to tell you much more!!!Complimentary sourdough bread with tomato sauce......
Bruschetta..... Crispy yet soft bread with tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and yummy parma ham!
Darling's carbonara......really nice....the bacon was flavourful, and the cheese flavour was sufficient. Really rich and creamy, and a portion that was just nice....
My Lamb Rack with rosemary scented potatoes and vegetables....not bad....lamb was done quite well......
My dessert...semifreddo.....can't remember what else it had....haha.... but the biscuit on top is really nice..... =)
Darling's Pear Flambe with chocolate ice-cream...... nice to have tableside service done for you in a restaurant!
Darling's complimentary birthday cake.... sponge with chocolate mousse, and a caramel topping
Had a really wonderful time today...been such a long time since we enjoyed ourselves so much..... this 2 weeks will be filled with dinner parties....since there are so many birthdays in september! My dad's birthday is next week...and we'll be bringing my parents out to eat tomorrow....and next week, my entire family will be celebrating my dad's birthday....... just hope that during these times, Baby will be good and keep my food down!!!
Next week is my recess week........wish I could take the time to rest...but there's many assignments to be done.... guess i'll push myself to complete as many as possible.... so that it'll be less taxing when i'm back to school.......
