last supper..


big mammal is leaving perth for a job in Taiwan (a.k.a republic of china,
NOT people's republic of china).. for a whole year..

so we had our last romantic dinner on sunday.. went to (A) lure ... and tee hee hee i have to do a review..

service was .. errmmm.. how can i put this nicely.. SHIT HOUSE.. :P actually it was just the one guy that took our order.. he ignored us for a good half an hour, we had to fetch our own menus, and he didn't even explain the specials when we asked him to.. we asked if there's a vegetarian option for a dish, he outright said nope.. we asked if they have a bread, he said yes, it's corn bread, we asked if it was on the menu he said nope... followed by his blank look and awkward silence.. at this point big mammal was fuming and i was close to thumping this smart arse..

after we've ordered, he brought on a complimentary plate of olives, cold cucumber soup and some BREAD rolls.. which would've been nice for him to mention that earlier... *rolls eyes*

big mammal had the chicken and couscous, and i had a potatoe rosti with poached egg, spinach and tomatoes... we thought the chicken was a bit dry, but i loved my dish it was simple, fresh with yummy flavoursome ingredients..(despite the $28 price tag.. sigh).. it gave me goose bumps when i cut open the egg and the lusciously golden yolk gushes out.. definitely a lifestyle channel moment..

although, highlight (as always) is the dessert.. we had the chocolate fondant.. it was TO DIE FOR... once you've cut through the delicious spongey exterior.. the molten chocolate goo oozes from the centre.. was just mmmm..

plus i love all the cutlery and table ware :)

why does good food have to have a price tag to match :(
