Shagri-La, Lafite

okay i skip my birthday post because of this post ! what on earth that's so important that able to make 
me skip my OWN birthday post ?!! 
the answer is FOOD ! =D
I'll get ultra excited when i talk bout food ! and I'm that kind of person that will critic bout the food 
if it taste eeeuukkkkkk! *swear to GOD 

So, i went to Shangri-La, Lafite for fine dinning yesterday. All thanks to my friend Mr. Ng ! =) if not
i wouldn't have the chance to taste all those yummylicious "art". I would describe food as a piece of art 
because i enjoy food but not eat the food.

**forgive me for forgetting the names for the dishes ! and lousy quality pics ! =P


the ambiance is not bad....

so we ordered a 5 course meal and then add on another main course and another 3 dessert !
oh.. not to forget, a bottle of wine too =)


first, we were served with bread. ( sorry that i didn't take any photo of the bread !) i too excited 
already when the bread was served i can't stop myself from eating it ! 
well, the bread is a bit cold thou for me if it's served warm that would be perfect ! 

next is a complementary appetizer

there are 2 different toppings. One is with prawns and another one is foie gras !
this is the first time i ate foie gras... it's so smooth and it kinda melt in your mouth thou !
the prawns topping was okay only.. how good if they take away all the prawns topping and exchange with foie gras for me !!! T.T

the second appetizer, bali risotto 
this is something very unique for me and I'm quite amuse they way they alter it.
they replace the rice where people usually use for risotto to bali !


spot the bali ?
can u imagine ?!! i can tell you it taste superb !
bali is something tasteless and i'm surprised that it goes super well with the gravy
and the slimy-ness of the bali gives a smooth texture on the whole.


third appetizer, this is something that I've never taste before ! it's so special !!!!
it's made up of prawns, crabs, citrus, some spices, caviar and smth that i don't know !!! oh gosh....
i love the after taste of this dish... you'll have that sea food feeling or that sea aroma in your mouth ? LOL
oh and it's a bit spicy thou...

here comes the main course !
first dish is wagyu beef !


HELLO BEEF !!!! can you see the medium rare tasty-ness ?!!
it's superb JUICY ! it goes well the the sauce which is a bit of sweet and sour.
the taste of the rare part of the beef is awesome ! T.T the taste of the blood.... LOL.. sounds like a vampire !
well for people like me who likes beef to be cook medium rare this is perfect ! 
but sadly the outer part is a bit hard to chew thou, i think is a bit over cooked :/
still, it's awesomeeeeeeee !

Second dish, is a pan friend fish with some rice.


well... this one was okay only lah for me...
cause it's just a pan friend fish and some rice at the bottom....
nay.. it was so so only...

third dish, pan fried eel with some veges and mushroom tempura.


i like the texture of the fried eel.. it's a bit salty and it's very chewy ! 
well, not bad i would say... it's something special thou =)

FINALLY ! here comes the dessert !!

firstly, sorbet ! 


this sorbet is super refreshing ! it's sour in taste ! and on top of that is the vanilla whipped cream.
usually the texture of the sorbet it's a bit coarse rite. But this vanilla whipped cream plays an important
role in this sorbet ! it just wrap up the sorbet and make it very smooth ! it's like wao ! 

second dessert, apple crumble 

  
OMG ! THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT MAN !
SERIOUSLY ! THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME !
it taste just nice !! everything in it it's just so nice! T.T
holy mama ! what on earth I've missed in my 20 years of life ?!!
the ice cream that they made is heavenly awesome ! it's so smooth and the taste of it it's so unique !
it's even better than those branded ice cream out there ! i think i'm going to marry this dessert chef !
so i can have this every single day ! yes ! i don't mind to have it every single day man ! 

third dessert, something very super ultra cheese !


this is something like durian, if you like it you'll like it, if you don't it's like eww !
for cheese lover out there ! this is your OMG cube of cheese ! can u see the cheese is leaking out ?
okay i like cheese, but not blue cheese and those " looks like expire kind of cheese".. hahah...
so this is a nono dessert for me ! i can't take this.....
but for those who like pungent smell cheese this is the one ! beside there, there are some topping to 
eat together with. There are some pineapple paste, chocolate sauce and some nuts.

next is something very chocolate !!! 

 nawwwwwww ! very chocolate-ishhhhhhhhh !
beside there there is the ice cream which taste heavenly nice !! T.T
okay next to it is the awesomeness ! LOL okay on top of it it's a layer of melted marshmallow, center is a piece of cookie and the bottom is a whole piece of dark chocolate ! oh gosh.... everything just 
melted in your mouth and also the crispy-ness of the cookie ! this is SUPERB man !

lastly, pumpkin pie !


it's a very nice pumpkin pie ! i don't know what make it so special !!!!
the crust of the pie is so nice ! T.T in case u wonder whats the bubble yuckie thingy beside there
we've no idea... but it taste like milo ! hahaha.... so well.... we guess is the foam on top of the milo..

Every dish is almost perfect i would say. 
Lafite, definitely is a place that I'll go back for more. =)
give it a try people !
