After his school at 4pm, we rushed to Liang court, where they have the couple suites. So we got a Chinese lady to scrub him down, and then massage. Once again, Nig fell asleep during the massage.
The scrub was with some glacier salt. and we thought i was a good idea to scrub some on our face as well. however, when salt mixes with water, and it drips into your eyes......it can be very stinging. good idea, yeah riight....
Unfortunately we were a bit delayed by the great salesperson from Amore. But of course, i must show how immune i am to such persuasions to Nig. So i insisted on saying no. Though i really wanted to sign up something....oh how. resolve is RESOLVE. do not buy anything. DO NOT.
Then we GPS our way to Pulau Keppel, Where clever grace had already reserved an outside seat by the river at Prive Restaurant. Great view.
we paid $134 for the meal. The restaurant made it "worth" it. the service was good. the head waitresses was young, good-looking, and wearing a sexy shiny cocktail dress. the other waitresses were very nice and attentive. Like when i was thinking (haven't raised my hand yet) of asking for our dessert, one waitress just peeped in from behind the plants to ask if we needed anything.also, we had bread, baked by themselves while waiting for our food. The bread was good, especially the sourdough. it had walnuts and raisins in it. nicely mixed, that even a non-bread lover like Nig said it was good. then we had origanic mushroom soup. we ordered one bowl, and mentioned that we will be sharing it. So the Chef separated one bowl into 2 portions. Great right?
The mushroom soup was more more more mushroom than soup. small minced chunks of mushroom in a mushroom paste? Nig enjoyed it. but the whole bowl (my portion too) became a bit jer-lak.
Nig ordered a Roasted boneless quail. More springy than chicken, but no other sides came with it. I ordered veal loin. it melts in your mouth! however, i realised it was not as well done as i liked it, because towards the center it became less chewable. so i gave it to Nig too. The side of sultanas and cheese potato went very well. We like it very much.
Last but not least, the chocolate souffle was good. the top and the sides have a crispy layer of slightly caramelised sugar. and it was quite a big bowl. not bad....oh, forgot to mention what the mushroom soup had a floating piece of baked cheese to chew one. i like the idea.
After that we went to walk around pulau keppel and momentarily wondered what is the island on the other side. After a while, we realised that it's Pulau Blakang Mati, Sentosa Island.
