It's my birthday today 20 days ago!!! :)
1. Itallianes, The Garden
The first person whom I celebrated my birthday with, is no one but him, my one and only. We had few minor arguments about where to eat as he suggests lunch buffet at Sheraton (we had free coupons) but I can't eat much in buffet, hence, wasting free coupons. Dingdongdingdong we settled for The Garden instead and stroll around for interesting eatery.
And we found it - The Itallianes at 2nd Floor, The Gardens, Mid Valley City.
Our first time with their food and service. Verdict: THUMBS UP!
We were given free bread (free flow) and olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip in.
Olive oil mixed with herbs and balsamic vinegar makes the best combination.
He ordered Grape Shake, RM8.50, while I ordered Cranberry Juice RM10.50 (no photos).
Lasagna A La Ravina, RM32.90.
Layers of lasagna pasta, meat sauce and marinara with mozzarella cheese.
Smoked Salmon Pizza, RM27.90.
Smoked salmon slices, gorgonzola dill cream sauce, cream cheese and sliced onions.
Tiramisu, RM16.90. Lady finger cookies dipped in liquer & espresso coffee with layers of creamy mascarpone icing and topped with dark chocolate powder. Well to my liking as it has the wonderful taste of rum and it's not too sweet.
My Passionfruit Coolers, RM10.50
Connie and Boon Keong... the couple who deserve my salute as they had been together for almost 8 years (perhaps)! The wedding bell is ringing! ;)

Connie's Chicken and Mushroom Pasta, RM23.90. Spagetti with sauteed chicken and miushrooms with white wine garlic, chili, cherry tomatoes and rocket.

Yes sweetie, I know you have been wondering high and low on what to get for my birthday present. Worry no more as you had given us the best present for birthday/anniversary/Agong's birthday/Independence Day/Hari Raya/Chinese New Year/wtf already, which is our very own nest!

Look at the HUGE portion! We packed the leftovers back home as we unable to finished 'em up. Not all were unfinished though. We finished up the Tiramisu as it was too heavenly! :)
Halfway through the lunch cum dinner, we spotted sunset! How romantic wtf if you don't at the ugly surroundings.
Tiramisu, RM16.90. Lady finger cookies dipped in liquer & espresso coffee with layers of creamy mascarpone icing and topped with dark chocolate powder. Well to my liking as it has the wonderful taste of rum and it's not too sweet.
We even take away... Krispy Kreme! Yay, Krispy Kreme has arrived in Malaysia and surprisingly, there's no hoo-haa on Krispy Kreme's doughnuts as what happened to J.Co previously. Remember the 30 minutes queue when J.Co hit Malaysia 2 years ago.
It was too sweet for my liking. I'm not a big fan of doughnut after all. Tried once and I'm done. :) Heard all about the negative nutrient value of doughnut and I wouldn't crave for them anymore thank you very much.
2. The Apartment, The Curve
My second birthday celebration was with my July babies, Connie (who were born on 14 July 1984) and Siew Yee (born on 15 July 1984). We chose to meet at The Curve for the abundance of food varieties and great enviroment. However, the main question of where to eat still lingered on our mind until we stopped at The Apartment.

The July babies: Connie, Siew Yee and me. (Gosh, my hair is hidious! I totally need a new hair style and some color. It's totally took away extra ages from me.)
Canwhore is a must wtf.
All lined up: Watermelon Juice (RM11.90), Raspberry Cooler (RM10.50), Passionfruit Cooler (RM10.50) and Orange Juice (RM11.90).

Our Verdict: The ambience was great, with nice IKEA-ed decoration, however the music was too loud, causing us to shout instead of talking to each other. The drinks was clearly overpriced and the taste were nothing more special than normal. The food were too salty (I'm the kind of person who can take salty food and yet I found it to be overly salty!).
3. Paddington House of Pancakes
For desserts! :) What's more fulfilling than desserts?

A heartiest thank you from the bottom of my heart, to all my colleagues who have given me a mini birthday celebration in the office despite hectic and busy workload.
5. My Favorite Birthday Pressie
Anna Sui Hair Brush!!! My dream came true, thanks to Tammy! Muahhh love you gal! Although we known each other for a short while (thanks to All Malaysian Blogger Project, AMBP) but there are something in common between us that make us "clicked" in one way or another. We are more than blogger/online friends now, we are FRIENDS in life.
Thanks to Dana from The Petals Bar for the lovely bouquet. :) It lasted for a week and I got the hard time to throw it away. Sigh...
There's really nothing special about my birthday celebration, totally nothing to brag about, but what makes it special in my own way was the people whom I celebrated with. Love you all and thanks again for all the wishes via SMSes, calls and messages on my Facebook. Thanks for remembering. :)
