Wedding Anniversary

today is our 2nd year wedding anniversary. #061217

2 years ago, we got married at Tim Palace Restaurant. i can still remember that day very clearly. so happy to walk down the aisle together with darling, with all the guests standing up and applauding us. and so happy to receive well wishes from our family, relatives and friends. 

1 year ago, we celebrated our 1st year wedding anniversary at taiwan. we were at taichung, if i remember correctly. 

this year, we celebrate it at Joie, together with our beloved yuanze. :)

Joie is another establishment of Dozo, which is a japanese fine dining restaurant at river valley road, and unfortunately Dozo had closed down already. i really love going there, and i went there four times to eat. 1st time with my family, 2nd time with darling, 3rd time with my colleagues and 4th time with the 10.11.12 gang to celebrate my birthday. 

Joie is at Orchard Central, on the 12th floor. all the dishes are vegetarian, and they have set lunch and set dinner. the 6 course set lunch cost $38.80++ and the 7 course set dinner cost $68.80. the 7 course set dinner have a cold dish, that is not available during the lunch course. 1 cold dish cost 30 dollars?! #raiseEYEBROW 

ok without further ado, here are the pictures of the food that we ordered! 

starter: chef's selection of assorted platter. the waiter recommended us to start with the sashimi in the middle, followed by the seaweed cracker and finally the raspberry sphere, and the whole sphere must put in the mouth because it will burst. 

side dish: bailing mushroom on paper hot pot

side dish: tempura platter on mash (charcoal coated yam, eggplant, apple, banana with japanese sesame dressing). this one is a must order! 

cold dish: dragon fruit lotus with truffle vegetable garden. (yes this is the cold dish that cost 30 dollars extra)

darling's cold dish is the Transparency of Pear (layered pear tataki with apple mozzarella and basil dressing). this one is also a must order! ok lah maybe that one is worth the 30 bucks, because of the wonderful food presentation and the special taste. sorry that we didnt take any picture of that dish and i cant find any picture of that dish online. :p

 soup: infusion of cepes with truffle (cepes mushroom with white truffle oil and black truffles)

soup: clear tomato soup with garbanzo (tomato broth with orzo pasta and garbanzo served with spinach dumpling)

main: duo ravioli platter (duo of pumpkin and spinach ravioli, flower emulsion, cream sauce). i like this alot! is also a must order for me!

main: grill summer mushroom steak on "pu-ye" hot stone. (grilled monkey head mushroom on lava stone serve with truffle mash potato). also a must order! 

i also told the restaurant that we are celebrating our 2nd year wedding anniversary and they prepared something special for us! 

taaa daaaaa. thanks for the cake! :)

the waiter told us to do cheeky face hahahahaha. 

side note: our yuanze grow so big already. :)

and this is a wedding anniversary present for myself and darling. lover's collection couple watches from gshock and baby g. specially chose them because they are white in colour, and our first march-in song is westlife's 'Beautiful In White'. :)

happy wedding anniversary darling~
