Its my future wifes Bday again. She suggested ICC.I will go for high tea (if they do) next time, the place is just home.I thought Ritz Carlton will stun people with steamy fancy settings but it didnt. The place was simple but elegant and upscale. The staffs there were bolting around like a soccer team which made me headache at first, after we sat down and talked to the guy we found ourselves home.

The staffs there were bolting around like a soccer team which made me headache at first, after we sat down and talked to the guy we found ourselves home. The waiter *NOT A MANAGER* Mr A was so attentive to all his guests. He introduced us the menu as routine, then he started to tell us the background of the chef, his signature dishes, and other outlets of the group. The presentation was long but not tedious. Anyway we ordered 2 antipasti, one pasta, one risotto and 2 orders of dessert after chummed with that Mr nice.
Okay antipasto time! The parma ham was perfect, melon was soso. Overall its pretty good. The pumpkin soup was watery, not creamy enough, and…not pumpkin enough. It’s the quality of the veggie I guess and the ratio of water and the ingredients. Maybe cook time too.
The Beef cheek risotto was no good, sorry Chef. The risotto was bit over salted, while the cheek was under seasoned and firm. Comparing to the beef I just had yesterday night at the restaurant at IFC, this piece of meat is almost rocky. I wasn’t sure that it’s the food quality itself or it’s the chef, was it overcooked drying up all the jus or was it not enough time for slow cook to soften the grain. No idea.
so sorry, again. The pasta was worse. Pesto is my all time favorite, but this lemon pesto pasta just upset my day. Both of my girl friend and I are not picky but she took one bite of it then she stopped it. I was curious so I took the rest. The pasta was coarse and “waxy” and under seasoned again. I tasted only sweet basils but nothing about garlic and pine nuts (or any nuts).
finally the green tea tiramisu and a something sorbet (sorry i forgot the name), both of them are just soso but i pretty like the presentation of the tiramisu.
Here we go, Mr nice again. He was just so nice to offer us a surprise dish of petit gateau . Some may think its nothing but the sweets will make us coming back, maybe for a relax afternoon tea. Maybe.
Other Info. :
i have to say thank you here to Mr nice again
