Time: 1700 - Maison Blanc with Jamie :) I can't believe it's taken us 2.5 months to meet up in Rondon! I'm glad that I finally got to take Jamie to my fave cake shop. I was VERY relieved when the chocolate creme brulee cake met her high standards *grin*
Time: 1800 - We headed across the street to Pierre Marcolini! (Getting there took 30 seconds, figuring out where the place was took 5 minutes *grin*) YUMMO! Ganaches, pralines, cocoas, truffles... *drool* We split five chocs between the two of us - we had to save room for dinner after all ;)
The Venezuela 72% bitter was my favourite, followed by the Couer Framboise heart, then the Caraibe ganache, then finally the Truffe du Jour. From the counter, these sell at GBP$75 per kilo! Good thing it was Jamie's turn to treat! Hehe :)
Time: 1930 - Cantonese style roast duck at Four Seasons. Good thing we'd booked, because the place was packed out. At Four Seasons, if you don't share a table, you'll probably spend a couple of hours waiting to eat. The duck was a bit disappointing as it was the fattiest duck I've ever eaten. Although deboned, I spent a lot of time scraping off the fat between the skin and the meat :( I think I've hit the limit of fat my heart can tolerate. We all agreed that the sauce was great, but the duck itself needs work! I'd stick a picture of the duck here, but my photography skills made the duck look revolting :( If Steven has a better pic, I'm stealing it :)
I can't wait for our next outing Ms K! Hehehee :)
Edit 16072006: Here's Steven's roast duck pic!

That's because you're always off to the RACES, or a BALL, or FRANCE whenever I try to organise something with you :P
Again a food blog! Your weblog makes me hungry.
Wicky.
Hehehe, I wish you guys had the time to pop over before leaving Netherlands. I'd take you to eat all the nice food! But you'll be getting nice (and better/fresher) food soon enough in Sydney :)
Babs - at least she tells you she has a blog.
btw - when taking photos of food, don't take them from directly top-on. Take them from the side, at angle.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that you post comments worthy of Mills & Boons on other people's blogs, RC *grin* Fair warning though, any comments like that on my blog and you're getting barred :P
Ok. I'll just have to be content with sitting here and reading in silence.
