good times & good food

for my father's bday, we went to this place called Boathouse in taman tun. it's a pub and restaurant. we wanted to go to tony roma's (which is quite pricy and not much food to choose from) but decided on pasta fredo cuz my mum overheard wing lian recommending that place to me the last time i was searching for a fine dining kinda restaurant. but it wasn't open. soooo...

anyway, it was this place or cramming ourselves in The Curve with a million and one people going there for merdeka countdown. so Boathouse it is...! (which turned out cheaper than tony roma's)


at last we ordered the right food (which means fine dining kinda food) cuz every time we go to this kinda place i would end up ordering the wrong kind of food. everyone else would get the fine dining kind and i get the i-could-have-gotten-it-at-a-cheaper-priced-restaurant kinda dish.


there was a great variety of dishes to choose from. however, the menu wasn't VERY appealing. it was too wordy and they didn't bothered to make the words bigger. after a while, i got too lazy to read it and he couldnt' do much either.


the lighting was far too romantic cuz there were families with young kids to spoil the mood. anyhow, it was a good time spent with good company as well as good food. which reminds me, i forgot the names of the dishes we ordered.

as for the starters, we had mushroom soup. it contains 3 different kind of fresh mushrooms. i wonder if they had a garden for them to go to pluck em. and as u can see, there are no pictures of that so-called soup we ordered. cuz the food took too long to arrive. so, when it FINALLY arrived, we gobbled everything down. fast. it was a little bit too tasteless for us. we had to add loads of pepper.

it came in a small cup (that normal restaurants would use to serve ice cream) on a small plate with a small bread on the side

this came after what seem another million years
it wasn't very nice
the sauce was too weird
it didn't mix well with some weird leaves that they put at the bottom

ho ho ho...
this was the highlight of the night
the waiter recommended this dish
"lamb wraps"
(which means lamb ribs)
"this is special. not in the menu"

honestly, this dish was yums!
there's baked sliced potato covered with egg and gravy as well which is not in the photo


when this dish came (after another million years), the waitress asked if we wanted the chef to help us cut it. and guess what? it took another million years. my mum asked for the dish back and it took another million years. so i had to quickly take photo of the food before we gobbled it down again.


luckily i remembered to take photos cuz i know this will be once in a lifetime

everything there took a million years to come
but.......
as for the bill
fuiyoh
even superman can't beat them
