It's been months ago kot me & my friend read somewhere kat newspaper (bukan magz la sid..sorry) pasal Samsaraa.. restaurant owned by Harith Iskandar and his beloved wife.
Entah macam mana, dok la postponed sehari sehari tak jugak pergi2 try lepak makan kat sini.. sekali, my friend macam ajak cari tempat ni and try makan.. and terus ayu teringat review on their mango cheesecake yang signature and meletop tu..
(ni meletop based on review dalam paper, their FB and review di merata tempat yang lain gak)
banyak betul dugaan masa nak datang ni.. dengan kerja kat office punyalah nauzubillah gila kentangnya.. dengan ada office event yang also I need to attend to.. :( macam2 lah..
Alhamdulillah, dapat gak make it through.. makanya mencari lah kami destinasinya..nama lagi 1st time kan.. pusing punya pusing sekali .. I saw Yanok adikku's car.. i was so sure & confirmes.. it's Yanok's car... But since I was driving.. my friend dok bising suruh concentrate on the road and cari parking..
Bila dah dapat parking, ayu terus meluru to Yanok's car but I was stopped when my friend dah kedepan berjalan.. puas panggil2 pun dia buat tak tau je.. when I asked apsal jalan cepat sangat.. dia balas... "mana ada cepat.. this is my normal pace of walking apa.." and me?
busy dialing Yanok's number while nak mengejar kawanku itu.. and also busy bengang sebab Yanok tak angkat talippooonn... geram!
But terus diam bila masuk kedai nya...
simple but very homely concept dia...
lepas tu, menu dia dah ada terpampang atas meja... tak payah tunggu2 orang datang bagi ke apa.. senang cerita kan?
maka berlakulah scene pelik kedua...
waitress tu, boleh datang tanya.. "who are we celebrating.???"
I was puzzled and shocked and ask my friend.. "she knows my birthday?"
and the waitress senyum pandang ayu and said.. "Happy Birthday!!" I smiled, and said thanks..
and back to my friend... terus laju2 dia jawab.. "I make resevation lah tonight.. "
maka bermula lah.. sessi soal jawabku..
"mana pernah selama ni buat reservation..."
"kenapa pilih meja besar2.. tu kan boleh duduk kat situ je ..."
"apsal banyyak sangat dia setting sudu garpu ni.."
"and Yanok ni pun satu.... orang call tak nak angkat! merajuk kang baru tau.."
and jawapan my friend...
"saje je gatal nak reserve.."
"takkan nak duduk kat sana sejuk la bawah aircond.."
"suka hati dia la nak letak sudu berapa banyak..kedai dia.."
"jap lagi Yanok call la balik tu..."
annoying ok jawapan2 dia...
terus I gigih tengok menu.. baik pilih nak makan apa dari nak pikir semua tu.. but seriusly.. fisssssssshhhyyyy sesangat!
tengah2 tengok menu tu.. sekali... dengar ada pasukan koir mana entah menyanyi lagu birthday sekuat2 aaaaallaaamm.....
masyaAllah malunyaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! nasib baik tak de orang ok.. we all je yang ada dalam tu...
I was so shocked!!!!!!!!!
mampu tutup muka je.. ikutkan hati nak je lari menyorok bawah mejaaaaaaaaaa...........
siapakah mereka??
di bawah adalah muka2 wanted yang bakal ku cari apa yang boleh di balas balasss.. ngeh ngeh ngeh... no lah..
don't know how to thank them...
xoxo....
and also to..
minah waitress yang memberikan ku hint demi hint and dah buat macam bakal kena sepuk je dah dek syahrul. LOL!
so i was shocked, surprised, blessed, flattered and thankful for the celebration... bukan je orang kata celebrating 31st being the prettiest, it was even celebrated very beautifully...
syukur and thank you.. :)
now, lets check out our food pulak, ok?
kat sini, ada range untuk set and also ala carte...
we all that night, ada yang amik ala carte..ada yang layan the set.. yang penting, malam tu, makan la apa pun, fully sponsored by syahrul & kak red. :) TQ!
this is what i had that night..
Grilled Lemon Fish served with wedges, coleslaw & apple salad and super skin healthy juice (tomato/carrot/orange/cucumber)
i lovvvveeeee the grilled lemon fish.. side dishes dia tu memang ngam soi la.. the best was the apple salad.. and creamy lemon sauce is so delicious. masam ada, manis ada.. sedap.
dah la all the food memang masak satu satu.. menunggu tu agak mencabar gak la.. but tak kisah pun sebab saya sibuk membongkar rahsia komplot mereka.. derang la kesian.. masing2 dok tunggu kat dalam kereta dalam keadaan lapar.. ngeh ngeh ngeh.
padan muka korang. :P
the others had.. Chicken Briyani Special, Fish & Chips, Grilled Herbs Lamb Shoulder & Harith's Kampung Roasted Chicken..
nak tau the detailed food review later, terjah2 la blog si sid.. kang dia komen mana yang cukup rasa.. mana yang tidak.. ;)
and we close our session with the glorious sinful dessert....
Harith's Mango Cheesecake (highly recommended), Banana & Peach Crumble (also highly recommended) and Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream (so so je)..
seriusly.. yang dua yang disebut itu adalah super duper highly recommended..
thank you sekalung budi berlimpah kasih to all of them yang dengan penuh susah payah merancang and sudi make this celebration for me..
it was so sweet and meaningful 31st birthday ever...
thank you for putting a big smile on my face and in my heart for this 13 Nov 2010 a year to remember..
