Dear Bloggie,

October is another very Festive Month; many Birthdays to celebrate... DT is getting closer and closer to the Big 3. Sometime last week; I celebrated his Birthday with him.

He came by to pick me up after work; and after alot of map reading, going in the wrong directions (again)... We finally reached our Destination - Dozo. We got a quaint little corner with full length glass windows..

After placing our orders, we were served Plum Shooters. This is refreshing; not at all sour...

To start off... we have a Starter of Chef's seasonal assorted platter that includes smoke Salmon, Seared Scallop and Foie Gras.

Then the Cold Dish... I had the Smoked Duck Breast Meat while he had King Crab Claw Salad... I think the Smoked Duck is rather good; but that picky eater kept complaining that the Crab Claw is salty... :x

Then... its time for Side Dish. I had the Hirakata Mushroom done in 2 ways during my last visit; I like it so much that I decided to have it again. He had this... Gratinated Escargots - and this is the ONLY dish that he finds it nice.

Our Soups... I had Mushroom and Truffle and he had Crab Bisque. He complained a little on the Soup again; 麻烦的男人. =__=

The Waiter realised DT is coughing; and came up with this Tea for him. Its some Herbal Ginseng Tea... which our dear DT complained it to be tooo bitter initially; and after leaving it there for a while it became tooo sweet. 名副其实的- 麻烦男人！

Then... its finally the Mains; which seriously.. I am already full. I had this new item on the Menu which is some Prenium Black Porky which I dont really like coz its too rich; which he had Beef tenderloin on hot stone. Well.. Birthday boy wasnt tooo happy with his Beef once again; kept insisting that the Beed is tooo tender. =__=
