We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

Restaurant Week Part4. Last restaurant we go to *sobsob*
so it was The Cliff. Anyway, it has always been always the only restaurant I wanted to visit. I have not heard of anyone singing praises abt this restaurant or bn to this restaurant, but part of me juz know tt i wanna go to this restaurant. prob subconsciously, i imagine tt i'll b eating off a cliff *hurhur*
i was quite disappointed when i realised the cliff was fully booked when i first went into the restaurant wk website, so i was over the moon when p told me last min on thur tt some kindhearted soul gave up their reservation! Thanks whoever you are! =)) The outside of the restaurant. we had to walk a long way from the lobby of the hotel to the restaurant.
how well said, but i love life and dont enjoy oyster.
Tada the restaurant wk menu! =)) the pix in this entry is a lil dim cos the night mode of lx3 is nt fantastic. it gt me wanting to gt a s90 =\
as with all western restaurant, there is the dip. olive oil. and the reddish powdery thing is curry powder as far as my tastebuds could discern cos i have no idea wot the waiter said. some super chim name. tasted nt bad even though it looks majorly weird.
and the bread. the one on the left is the wheat which i didnt like as with all other wheat bread, so p finished it for me. the one in the foreground looked like danish pastry but its nt. its rolled up bread with sauteed onions inside. tasted nt bad actually. and of cos the one on the right is the good ol french loaf. they offer free refills when we finished! good service =\ of course we have to save space for the food later. =)
complimentary dish whose name i didnt manage to catch again so p and i were left wondering wot we were eating but i guess its smoked some kinda sashimi like fish?
we were feeling rich tt day so we order oyster. of cos instead of the conventional ones, we chose unique ones. from the left to right. first is oyster in tomato puree concoction, oyster with fruits, oyster with chawamushi on top (like how did they even pull it off?), lastly oyster with eggs and caviar. i tried the chawamushi and eggs, they were both yummy. of cos i didnt eat the oyster!
but i had fun taking pix of p attacking the 4 oyster.
sweetcorn soup from the restaurant wk menu. the soup is really thick and i could taste tt they blended the corn cos i can tasted the blended bits. in a way it made the soup b thick and creamy unlike Campbell soup but it gt my throat quite itchy so i passed it to p again haha.
so anyway p and i could order another dish each, it was our secret agreement, so obv the oyster is ordered by him. so this is ordered by meeemeemee! i've always bn intrigued by the 101 ways you can cook an egg, fried, poached, sunnyside up, none of which i've mastered. so the name of this dish is 65degrees egg. of cos we made sure we asked the waiter wot it was in case we are juz ordering some ordinary dish. but apparently the dishes there are all but ordinary. so this is named as such because the egg is kept at 65degrees throughout the entire cooking process! The stick is juz cheese stick with sweet cream.
closeup of egg. the sauce is truffle oil. super yummy. the egg turned out to be super cool. like its neither runny nor powdery. its almost jellylike! amazing! yummy =)
finally we came to our main course! we were quite relief it was a small portion as we were both quite full aldy from all the food experiments earlier. its chicken breast! i dont usually like chicken breast even tho its less fattening. but this is by far the yummiest chicken breast i've had. i was waiting for p to give up this chicken breast to me but he didnt ||-_- the whitish foam this is vinegar. weird. i love the mash potato below the leaves and the baked potato slices to bits!! =) double yums!
finally, we come to a sweet ending with the dessert. there's a dark chocolate slice, dark choc ice cream & macaroon. i have always tot it was the macaroons i ate in the past tt were of lousy quality, but after the cliff, i realised, the problem lies in me, i dislike the texture of macaroons in general but i finished the other 2!! =)
i'm kinda sad the restaurant wk came to a close. overall i'd definitely go back to all the 4 restaurants again esp chiharu if vitamin m allows. the food is juz so yummy! =) p pref julien bompard amongst all the restaurants.
