Smelly’s Big Three O @ Secret Of Louisiana

 

This year is a bit special cos Smelly is turning 30! ^O^ so i gathered some of his close friends for a simple dinner at Secret Of Louisiana at Plaza Kelana, PJ. it was quite a last minute thingy cos i couldn’t think of any present to get for him due to personal financial crisis AND his wish list (something to do with car, what else?) is definitely WAY off my budget. :P  he’s a bit practical so getting something for him is a bit hard (i bought him a bottle of perfume for his 28th bday and until now, it’s still full!)

Hoegaarden for starters!

 

obligatory shot!

Forest Wild Mushroom Soup. delicious! just nice! it’s like freshly blended mushroom soup!

wine deco

 my main course. Sonoma Red Wine Chicken. new taste to me. i like the side dish.. baked/grilled carrots and wedges.

 

yums!

 draught hoegaarden. a bit disappointed tho cos it tasted a bit different from the usual that we had. too “watery”.

Smelly’s Rosemary Lamb Shoulder. not bad but too burnt at certain parts. mint sauce no taste. hmm.

 

Uncle Mun’s Original American Cheese Burger. highly recommended!

Joean’s Louisiana’s Shrimp Scampi. taste good she said. very fragrant too!

  Siew Ling’s Seafood Aglio. Tasty!

groupie.

Ah Loon’s Arcadian Braised Chicken that came after two and a half hour. yes. TWO AND A HALF HOUR! he reached and ordered at 8.30p.m and supposed to fetch Siew Ling from work after eating but since Joean waited for 45 minutes for her pasta and he ordered 15 minutes later than her, we asked him to go fetch Siew Ling first and come back. and after he fetch Siew Ling, she called us when they’re on their way to order her pasta and when they reached at about 10.15pm, her pasta was served just in time.. BUT his meal is not! we actually checked with the waiter double triple quadruple  gazillion times in between the time he went to fetch Siew Ling but they said “chef is cooking” “chef a lot of order cos a lot of people” until they came back and we asked the supervisor again, and she said she’ll re-order for us and will make sure it’s ready in 10mins. by the time his food was served, Siew Ling already finished her food. gah!!! bad service! AND, the appetizer, Seafood Gumbo (no photos cos forgot but quite nice. it’s garlic bread dip with some seafood mash) that i ordered only came after everyone finished their main course!  (which is 2 hours later) hello!! my appetizer became dessert!! sigh… food was okay but service wise a bit turn off cos most of the waiters there are not local and they can’t seem to understand English very well and they took realllllllyyyy lllooooonnnnggg time to cook our food. hmm.. i don’t know if it’s because of weekend or so happen last night there’s a lot of patrons or perhaps they’re short of chef last night or memang their service is that bad…? hmm.. food was nice but definitely no next time.

hehe

  make a wish sincerely and it will surely come true

oreo cheese cake from Secret Recipe. thanks to Ah Loon for getting it for me.. =) i think Smelly didn’t see that coming.. heh.. we didn’t sing birthday song tho.. cos we all agree that it’s too er…. overrated? haha! (actually i know Smelly doesn’t like it cos he feel embarrassed. bleh!)

 

Happy Birthday bB!
