Mediterannean theme dinner @ Swiss Room and four of us have the pleasure to try out some delicious Mediterannean delicacies. Chef’s from Malaysia and staffs from Singapore to Russia and Canada and many more.
There weren’t much expectation from the food cause I have no idea how does mediterannean food look and tastes like, so it was all just an expectation of more-than-moderate level.
First impression was good because we were given champagnes for an aperitif at the reception area before seated. Nice glasses and obviously smooth champagnes to gulp down.
Let’s see…I seriously have no idea what is inside, all I know is that it has Lime skin, orange and some herbs and as for the skin…no idea but it sure is delicious if you like sour-ish food *Good way to start a meal *Gastrick people will LOVE HATE this serving**cough cough*
Second Appetizer: Fried Bread with garlic served with Mediterannean dipping
Well…same goes to this. Garlic lovers will adore this food but applause for the dipping is a must! It’s delicious…tomato puree with some mediterannean taste to it.perfect combination…
Third Appetizer: Cold Cucumber Cube garnished with HOT chilli liquid and finish with a spoon of Sour Cream
Yet another appetizer that has to have their deserved credit. Who knew that cold cucumber served with spicy chilli paste will taste so good and to neutralize your taste bud after the spice with a spoon of sour cream? magnificent combination 
Drinks (alcohol cocktails or non-alcohol?)
Tivu Blue : A specialty drink from Tivu with the senses of tingling tangy orange, leamon and zesty lime coated with sugar lining
The Horizon: Fusion of Pineapple and Strawberry cocktail
Sunset Passion: Fruit Juice with a tinge of sparkle
Personally, I prefer Sunset Passion the most cause it doesnt contain any alcohol and it tastes just nice. Same goes to our table guests’.
Long waited and at last our starter arrived. Slyvia & I ordered Chicken Roulade served with Cucumber Raita. Czet and Joe Joe ordered the Duo of Tea Smoked Tuna and Tomato Cumin shooters.
Both equally delicious but I think the Chicken Roulade was nicer and the yoghurt dipping was perfect with the chicken.
Chicken Roulade
Smoked Tea Tuna
Mmm Nyum Nyum….after the delicious but light starter we have our main course. Well, originally there were two choices for main course but due to some kitchen error, they do not have enough LAMB so we took the second choice; Black Tiger Prawns. Not bad but I would definitely prefer to have the rack of lamb instead. Plus, the starch for the tiger praws were not cooked enough, the rice were slightly uncooked. So it was alil disappointment in that. Anyway, it still tastes more like nasi lemak’s sambal prawns…haha!
Starch were too much as you can see, therefore, none of us managed to finish the whole plate except for the prawns of course….
Dessert and Hot Beverage: The Maldivian VooDoo Lily + Cappuccino
Oooppss….I know the picture loooks very….unorganized but actually it was a very nice decoration. Unfortunately, none of us remembered to take the picture.
Anywhoo, the dessert is a Mediterannean Jelly with some Passion and Lily liquid and decorated with crispy and aromatic almond slices and caramelized rose petals.
Sounds delicious? BECAUSE IT IS VERY FREAKING DELICIOUS!! Every dish was great despite the main course’s rice.
That marks the end of the meal and before I forget…credits to the restaurant’s decoration….it was awesome!romantic with the mediterannean feeling to it. Applause and great job y’all!!
Well…let’s not forget that we obviously did some cam freak-ing of course…how can we not?? it will not be us if we didnt right?hehe…
