So let's begin with the day.. We prepared and met papa at Dover before heading to Marché for lunch. Being Christmas Eve, I believe many corporate companies dedicate a half-day for most of their staffs which explain the volume of lunch-time crowds in the restaurant itself.
The two cows have always been their representation, and if you hadn't noticed, they are dressed in X'mas suits.
The interior of the restaurant are furnished in a way that complements with their concept of a market place whereby you are given a guest card and would have to queue up at the respective sections e.g. Seafood, Bakery. The staffs would tap your card once you had made your order and you would have to wait for them to prepare your dish on the spot. Please do not be mistaken that it is a buffet meal else, you would definitely burnt a hole in your pocket!
We're thankful that we are seated near the Seafood Section, segregated with most of the crowds.
For starters, I had a slice of garlic bread and creme of mushroom soup. I would like to compliment that the soup is no ordinary mushroom soup that you had at Pizza Hut, the soup is really flavourful with numerous mushroom bits, although it costs $4.80 which is quite pricey for a bowl of soup but it is value-for-money in my opinion.
For the main course, I had Smoked Salmon Fillet with a plate of steamed rice. It came shortly after 15 mins. I like it the fact that it is freshly cooked and the salmon used got to be really fresh, based on my encounter. This dish costs $15.80 and the spices that they used complements well with the salmon meat. The meat is not cooked way too dry, leaving some juices when you chewed on it gradually.
Failed to take a picture of the desert which I thought that is the favourite dish of all - The Strawberry & Chocolate Crepe. I'm not a fan of chocolate ice cream and I thought that the scoop would have to be an ordinary one. I was wrong, there are numerous thin plates of chocolate bits in the ice cream which really came as a surprise. I love how it melts and goes with the crepe. Very delectable!
The bill amounts up to $98 for 4. Unfortunately, the switzerland delights are not up to my preference of my mummy. Well, taste are subjective right? In my opinion, I would definitely want to come back for the crepe
I met up with Bibi at Outram afterwards and we head down to Town with hopes to catch Gulliver's Travels. Unfortunately, the film for the upcoming time slots are selling fast which only left individual seatings and front-row seatings which we do not prefer. We thought that it would be wiser to watch it next week since there'll be student price and more seat varieties instead! We headed off to Lau Par Sat for the infamous Fatman Satay as Bibi had to purchase 140 sticks of satays while my papa asked me to purchase 40 sticks for the night. We waited till 7pm for the particular stall to start operation. It was a long wait given that there was a large amount of orders.
Happy 13th birthday, brother! So blessed to have a log cake as birthday cake!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone!
