What I have been up recently.. the last of 2012!

Creation Cafe

In one of our dates, we decided to try out Creation cafe as I have much raved the pasta there and Alvin is keen to try it out. We went for a early dinner to avoid the crowd. It end up we are too early (5.30pm) and they have not open yet (Opens at 6pm)! Luckily we are able to sit at the cafe and wait for the shop to be ready. 

Seafood risotto

Seafood aglio olio

As usual, I sticked to my usual choice and ordered seafood aglio olio while Alvin tried the risotto. I feel that the risotto pales in comparison with aglio olio but nevertheless it is still quite nice.

The serving is pretty small for Alvin and he ordered a Laksa pasta to share (but i only had 2 mouthful). The laksa pasta is a nice twist to the usual pasta. Not too bad. It will become my other choice to consider if I went back to the cafe the next time.

Wishing you a very merry christmas and may all your wishes comes true!

OChre birthday dinner

Some time ago, we celebrated AK's birthday at OChre located at Orchard Central. It is my second time there and if you want a quiet and cozy dinner gathering, this is the place to go.

The restaurant very thoughtfully place a stand to mark the table as reserved. Very personalized.

We all decided on having their main courses. The ladies had a 3 course dinner while the guys had 4. But first, we had a bread basket to munch while waiting for AK to arrive.

Assorted bread basket containing very delicious breads.

The waiters are all very attentive and standby awaiting for our orders, if any. Our appetizers are served.

The guy's - Watermelon wrapped with parma ham.

The girl's - Angel hair pasta with scallops and caviar.

It was my first time trying caviar and it does taste a little disappointing. I was expecting more of a crunchy texture like the ebi roe. But it wasn't. 

The guy's second course.

The girl's main course. Pan fried fish fillet. 

Another shot of the fish fillet. 

The pan fried fish fillet tasted really home-cooked style. We all felt that this standard could be achieved at home but nevertheless it tasted great. I realised I forgotten to take photos of the guy's mains. They had steaks which they claimed was quite good.

Now, for desserts.

The girls had tiramesu...

..and the guys had some mango dessert with ice cream if I remembered correctly. The tiramesu fared better.

Last but not least, we ordered another cake for AK which was meant to be a surprise. We had much difficulty trying to secretly order the cake without AK noticing it. 

Happy Birthday!
