Unforgetable

In a glimpse of an eye, we are celebrating our 3rd valentine's day. I believe there are more to come.

Without Roses, Chocolate & Valentine's day pressie, she was given a treat at Gobo Upstairs Lounge & GrillL @ Traders Hotel, KLCC. We decided to c'brate valentine's day a week earlier due to the unacceptable increase in price at restaurants in Hotels & bar around KL; plus unavoidable traffic jam in KL on valentine's day... but i know she won't mind...

Reservation was made well in advance, so we were greeted as Mr. & Mrs. Lau once we arrived (I know she is very happy to hear that... haha). We were given a table facing Exxon Mobil Building, where the place she sat can see the night view of Nikko Hotel & some other buildings.

The girlfriend who doesnt allow me to buy Roses & Chocolate for her...

Food

Complimentary bread was served with truffle butter... warm... very nice... beat the 1 we ate at Toni Roma's a month ago...



Starter:

Dear's: Hokkaido scallop... nice... for the very 1st time i think scallop in western style can be as nice as scallop in chinese cuisine...

Scallops

Mine: Brandy flamed lobster bisque with chocolate oil... It was so nice !!! Perfect when it was eaten with the complimentary bread...

If we weren't in this kinda highclass restaurant, i might lick the plate again & again...


Main course:

Mine: Beef short ribs (Signature dish of Gobo if I'm not mistaken). I think the chef marinated it with some strong liquor & it was well cooked till the extend that the meat fall off from the bone automatically. superb...
Beef short ribs - delicious !!!

Dear's : Lamb Shank (Recommended dish). You can ask her to describe the taste if u want...
Lamb shank for her...

The well-known big eater...


Dessert:

Tiramisu was not bad, but I prefer the one Dear baked in Glasgow (beat 5 stars hotel's cake). Haha... Besides, the presentation also not nice...

With my dearest



Our night didn’t end here… we headed to SkyBar at level 33 of Traders Hotel after the satisfying meal, where we can see the great night view of KL city.

I ordered Moto’ d Or’ & Dear ordered Lychee Rose’ – Signature drink of SkyBar -- both sux !!! ‘Moto d Or’ is like a paediatric cough mixture plus orange while 'Lychee Rose' tasted like normal alcohol without flavouring. I think maybe the taste of lychee is not strong enough to cover the bitterness of liquor. RM70++ gone!


SkyBar...

We were in SkyBar for around 2 hours. Then, I drove Dear around KL to experience the Saturday night of KL… We passed by Zouk, Bukit Bintang, KLCC, Jalan Sultan Ismail & etc etc etc... we talked & laughed in our own world... very romantic… haha


Special thanks to kampungBoyCityGal for recommending such a great place for dining. Not to forget, thanks Dear for your company which made this Saturday night a memorable one...


Happy Valentine’s Day
