1st course - seafood bisque. rich, luxurious and bursting with flavours of the sea ahoy!
2nd course - anti-pasto platter. we found chorizo sausages (a few slices only. tasted surprisingly like lup cheong), crostinis with feta cheese, and of cos the usual suspects you would expect to find in an anti-pasto platter like marinated mushrooms, cocktail pearl onions, olives and roasted capsicums. nice.
main course - tenderloin steak platter for 2. we discovered juicy, tender tenderloins, roasted baby potatos and vegetables, and 3 types of sauces! if memory serves, i think they were champagne sauce (the brown one), salsa and creamed horseradish sauce.
desert was walnut cake with vanilla ice-cream. that was the only thing we didn't polish off entirely cos we were suffering from food coma already.

is there anyone who doesn't like pizzas and pastas? i don't think so. Mama Lucia Ristorante Italiano at robertson walk features a huge selection of pizzas and pastas. the prices are great, they don't burn a hole in your pocket. nice and cosy lil joint. the food's alright and best of all, they provide complimentary bread and antipasti. so all you pizza chompers and spaghetti fiends, eat your greedy guts out over this...
bread with 3 kinds of antipasti - tuna, grilled eggplants and marintated onions.
beef carpaccio covered in parmesan shavings.
jian had the four seasons pizza which had mushrooms, eggplants, olives and artichokes.
eve had rigatoni with eggplants in spicy tomato sauce.
i had linguini with scampi in white wine sauce. although there really wasn't any sauce at all.

my mama dun like pizza or pasta ... only one pasta she eat ... linguini with white whine sauce!!!
i guess some of the older generation folks dun really appreciate intalian food then. but i think in general, young pple like us do!oh yeah, i almost forgot about eve here, she only recently acquired a taste for it. mainly due to my insistence on cooking pasta as often as i could and then force-feed her! all in the good will of educating her about the finer aspects of life (in this case, food), and honing her rather unadventurous and simple palate. i think i digress here, but is she considered older gen or our gen?
my mama is highly allergic to anything with cheese in it ... she will puke once she eats ...
then banana also ... she will puke once she smells it ...
so no pizza for her unless no cheese and i don't think she really a big fan of tomato sauce when we go out cause she think it's too simple to make can make ta home ...
then she dun like creamy sauce cause she say too fattening ... so it's different la ...
eve considered baby boomer gen.
no la, not baby boomer gen la. thats old! baby boomers are our parents, ok. those born in the 1940s to 1950s. i juz checked, she *surprise surprise* actually belongs to the same gen as us, the gen-X. gen-Xers are those born between 1961 and 1981. ooh, we cynical,angsty lot, we! mcjobs, anyone?
During the early 1990s, the media portrayed Generation X as a group of flannel-wearing, alienated, overeducated, underachieving slackers with body piercings, who drank franchise-store coffee and had to work at McJobs, concepts that had some truth to them but were in many cases stereotypes.
that sounds like..like me?! cept that i dun wear flannel and dun work mcjobs. i'm almost a stereotype, woohoo! ok, wotever.
It's Esmirada (wif or wifout de 's) ah.
