Dinner @ Tea Cosy

The dinner we shared at Tea Cosy was perfect, in one word. The girls and I shared a starter, the Pan-fried Foie Gras Taster - a small taster portion of the famed goose liver pan-fried till golden brown on the outside and creamy on the outside. Such a non-animal friendly dish, but yet delicious. However, i don't think i can eat too much of it, the creaminess of the liver makes me feel sick after a few spoonfuls.

Out of the two girls there, one is pregnant and the other just recovered from gastric, so they selected this caffeine-free tea. The Flower Power is a caffeine-free remedy of 7 flowers that helps to relax the mind and brings comfort to the stomach.

The other two of us had their coffee. The aroma was fantastic and the brew had a great aftertaste. Overall very good coffee!

For those of us who had the 4-course set dinner, it came with this Homemade Creamy Mushroom Soup. The soup was just the right temperature, but you better finish it fast before it chills. The plate is awfully shallow!

The Grilled Chicken with Spicy Tomato Sauce , served with pilaf rice and seasonal vegetables. The portion of rice was just right for us, and the slight spicy taste of the tomato sauce helped boost the appetite as well.

This Grilled Chicken Fillet was grilled to perfection with special sauce and served with pasta and seasonal vegetables. The sauce was delectable and complemented the healthy grilled chicken well.

The Pan-Fried Cream Dory served with grapefruit mayonnaise, mashed potato and seasonal vegetables. The dory was a tad dry, but apart from that the mashed potato was simply melt-in-your-mouth goodness!!

Steak and Potatoes - grilled marinated prime ribeye steak and savoury fried potatoes slices served with a side salad. The steak was juicy and really flavoursome. With the whole bowl of salad, this main course is really quite worth its while.

Move on to dessert, baby! This is the Chef's Special Sweets for the day - Fruit Tart served with Vanilla Ice Cream. 

The other two girls shared some scones. Boy, i must admit i was very full at this point i couldn't touch the scones, but it was such a wonderful meal. A little beyond the normal budget, but the place, the food, the owner, everything was just how it should be! I give it 5 stars....hehe....

It all looks good enough to eat.

Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.

Corporate metaphors are the new rave. the old rave is a can of corn, which is a corporate metaphor. i happen to be eating a scone at the moment, which is coincidental, but definitely not a corporate metaphor!
