Valentine's Fine Dining

We seldom celebrate Valentine's Day after we have kids. How to be romantic if the kids are yelling around for something and become moody half way during dinner? It will definitely spoilts our moods as well as other couples in the restaurant. But occasionally, hubby will still suggest places to go for dinner and usually we will celebrate it earlier while hanging around shopping mall.

Early last week, someone invited us to have a celebration together on the Valentine's eve. And most important, NO children's allowed. After many thoughts on arranging someone to take care of Audrey & Shannen on that night, hubby let me have the call. Beside that, I also needed to consider the $$ of the dinner as I knew that we are going to have fine dining this time. Finally we decided to join them as we already saved money on Valentine's gift so we can spend a bit more on dining.

We went to a French restaurant located at Jalan Loke Yew which was recommended by a friend, Cafe Cafe KL. As we entered the restaurant, we could see a few couples sitting here and there, holding flowers, snapping photo with their loves one. Wow.... never expect many of them celebrating on the eve as well. As we are in bigger group (6 of us), we needed a bigger table which was located on the first floor.

After glancing through their normal menu (quite a simple menu though, as I thought for fine dining the menu would be very much complicated) as well as the Valentine's set menu, we have ordered 1 set from the Valentine's set and another from their normal set menu for each couple. We also ordered a bottle of champagne and red wine. Before we started our meals, we managed to snap some photos around the place. The interior design of the restaurant is more like a French/English style, it's unique.

To cut the story short, let see what we had for our dinner that night.

Breads were being served

This is the Valentine's set menu, starter : Escargots with garlic.

Fried frog with herbs rice

Main course : Cod fish with special gravy, very nice!

Dessert : Tiramisu cake (my favourite!)

Starter :Foie Gras (goose liver)

Main course : Braised Lamb (highly recommended)

Dessert : Truffle Cream Puff

Overall the dinner was fantastic. We enjoyed a lot more on our dinner as we were free to chit chat and laughed without the hassle of having children around. This is a truly the best and amazing Valentine's dinner.

I wish I could have another similar fine dining for next year Valentine's Day. Fyi, Valentine's Day for 2009 falls on the first day of CNY.
