Our Anniversary in Triple Three

文章日期：12/03/2011 08:23 pm

It is our anniversary today, and to appreciate my wife TLC to me, I am going to pamper her in this wonderful place in Meritus Mandarin.
yup, it will be Triple Three in Orchard Road..
we wake up early in the morning, do our laundry, dry our laundy in our newly installed gas dryer, and within 2 hours we have finished up everything..
and it is time to head to our destination..
we never like to drive and walk around Orchard.. why...
this is what you see below..


It sure remind me of HK Causebay, pack with people but once a while is ok.. I guess :)

we are now inside Meritus Mandarin, it sure looks good after the whole reno and upgrades...



spacious lobby and and bright too



here we are Triple Three (333)



we were escorted to our table, the ambience is great, and it is sure a good place for get together for a chat




modern and bright inside



table arrangement is neat and organised



here comes our first delicacy, pumpkin soup and green bread



I believe it should be green tea flavour.. i will ask Joan :)




and it is time for me to go around and take some shots before i tuck in for food..
i didnt really take all the counter, but this is some counter that will really fill up your stomach



the japanese selection



the fruits selection



the desserts selection



the pasta's selection



the raw fish selection



and how can we forget this roast duck selection



my selection will be green salad with marinated sesame tuna, some tomatoes and onion to go with it
sesame tuna is prepare in half cook and raw, which means half sashimi.. taste great and fresh, and with its marinated sauce,
i really finish it all in seconds.




here comes my crab corn soup... nothing special anyway



next comes the meat selection, some sausages, wedges, octopus ball, slice ham



next comes our california maki wrap with roes.
well prepared and taste just rite... no doubt it is not prepared in a nice way.. but it is the taste that we want.



and not forgetting this unagi maki... quite well done too



this dish is only for me salmon sashimi, fresh, fatty, and one word for it... GOOD!!!



next, some fried hor fun and roast duck.
very surprisingly, horfun is not oily but it has this nice fragrant from lemon grass.
roast duck is lean and not fatty, which is just rite for us



dim sum is a little disappointed... but we will have better one tomorrow



next comes our creamy sauce chicken... carrot is soft and tasty, it has absorbed all the essence of the cream and chicken
as for the chicken, it is soft and tender too



Broc was prepared just nice..



Tempura is the only dish that we went for 2 round of it.



some fried chicken and japanese octopus ball to almost end our lunch



this is what we have been waiting for.. DESSERTS..



and Ice Cream.. it sure taste like sorbet to me :)



Fruits are not really fantastic.. but at least it is part our healthy diet



after our lunch, we went for a stroll in the hotel gallery
I spotted this unique boutique which i think it is quite creative



I wonder if a person wears this and zip the head,, can he still see?



any way,  the buffet lunch was great... you should try it

Rabbit Brand Restaurant - 11 Circular Road

Rabbit Brand Restaurant - 11 Circular Road

There was this advertisement that we saw in Groupon where u only pay $7 which is worth $15 meal at this Rabbit Brand Restaurant.
In its website, it recommended all the great stuff like abalone, sharkfin, fish maw, etc.
We think it is quite worth it.. so we actually bought 1 groupon.
and now let me try to recall what i have ordered :)

This Rabbit is located in 11 Circular Road, it is one of those dinner after work..
remember those who are driving, please try to be there early, as car park can be a problem.

we are browsing through the menu.. looks quite interesting.. price are quite reasonable, just wondering how good they taste.



after we ordered, they immediately brought up their precious XO sauce or e called it "heir be hiam"
not bad taste good, just like Gardenia said, you can even eat it on its own.



here comes our first side dish.. sweet sour jelly fish, it is not like what we use to see in some chinese restuarant.. but this sure is good,, very very good



our first set, looks impressive.



crystal jade fried tofu, its outlook is no where near TungLok, but it texture and skills is actually not that bad, remember to eat while it is hot..
soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. GOOD!!!




This small abalone has lost its original texture... any way, who cares, abalone is still abalone...
mushroom is juicy, the only set back is too much gravy in the background lor.




our 2nd dish, sea cucumber with abalone mushroom.


I really dont understand, why the chef need to drown the ingredients with so much gravy. but nontheless, since the food is here.. here goes
the serving portion for sea cucumber is so little, and when u put in your mouth, it sure melts immediately :P
as for the abalone mushroom, texture is crunchy and QQ, when first bite, immediately u have the "quack quack" effect in your mouth.
it will be a good dish minus away the wasted gravy.



as for this dessert, i presume it is bird's nest soup.
you can let me know how good it is when u have patronise this place..




cheers
