After so many unfortunate things happened to me one after another, I’m very grateful that I’m still alive, sitting in front of my PC, finally doing a blog post that I’ve always wanted to do. Praise the Lord

Counting down to Christmas.. How many days left? Are you prepared for this meaningful day? The most important of all.. have you chosen where to have dinner with your loved ones?

The Raintree Restaurant, located at BCCK (Borneo Convention Centre Kuching). My first time there The rest of the time when I was there, I was at the main hall and I thought that is Raintree Restaurant. Noob me.

Drop your name card. Every customer is as important as their loved ones ^.^

Relaxing place to have a mug or two

My first time having such classy fine dining. I don’t even know how to use the cutlery till Yien taught me. Luckily no one every brought me to such classy place, else I sure make my partner paiseh. LOL! Anyways, start from the outer most set, going inwards. LOL !! Thanks Yien

For a start, we were served the Appetizer:
Blinis Tower of Lobster Medallion, Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche, paired with Warm Ravioli of Duck Confit and Pumpkin Puree.

Why the name of this dish super long one? But fret not, The Raintree Restaurant is offering Christmas Eve 5-Course Dinner, so you don’t have to say the super long names out when you place your order

and frankly speaking, I’ve never eaten such food after living for 18years on earth. Why 18? LOL . Anyways, before I put the food into my mouth.. I heard so many Hmmm.. Aaaahhh.. Wow.. sound.. I was thinking.. it must be the salmon that tastes great.. I was right.. Salmon is awesome.. but the Lobster is equally awesome ♥ ♥

Next, the Soup: Cream of Cauliflower with Colorful Peppers & Crouton.

Soup.. no matter what soup, is always my all time favourite. Feed me with soup alone and I can survive till I am old

Btw, when I had these food, I didn’t know what they were. I eat, I taste, I feel.. and only then I will find out what these food actually are. Weird I know. But I like it that way. So, for this yummilicious soup, I thought it was just normal creamy mushroom soup, but this time I was wrong. I never knew that cauliflower can be made soup. Yes, I don’t cook, so I don’t know much bout how the food are done, but who says the person who loves eating must know how to cook right?

3rd Course – Palate Refresher: Exotic Ginger-Lime Sorbet.

I was like so sakai.. I thought it was dessert time. LOL !! Told you I’ve never been to such fine dining already ma. Don’t show me that look laa.. Btw, this sorbet taste heavenly nice. Initially I wanted to have some hot ginger drink cos it was “the day of the month” when I was dining there. I’m so glad they serve this Exotic Ginger-Lime Sorbet.. The portion was just good. No period pain after taking this. Instead, can feel the warmth in the tummy

Served next was the Main Course. You can have a choice of:
#1: Slow Baked Turkey Roulade with Wild Mushroom and Truffle Oil, served with Sauteed Brussels Sprouts, Caramelized Chestnuts and Cranberry Sauce

My family doesn’t have this rule of must-eat Turkey on Christmas Day.
We normally will replace turkey with chicken, knowing that turkey is expensive and not easy to get especially on festive season like Christmas. And normally in restaurants, they sell stuffed turkey. But at Raintree Restaurant, the turkey is slow baked and is served rolled. It’s so convenient to eat it that way too. Ladies can also act gentle when eat the turkey with their loved ones.

or

for those who do not fancy turkey, there’s a #2 choice: Slow Grilled marinated Sirloin on Spicy Potato, Wilted Spinach with Blue Cheese, Buttered Carrot, Brussels Sprout sprouts and Beef Jus

I personally prefer sirloin. Love the way it is though some prefer it to be more rare. I love the way they marinate the sirloin with dates, dijon mustard, garlic, and a bit of chilli powder. ♥ ♥

and finally the Desserts:
Christmas Pudding with Raspberry White Chocolate Parfait.

One word: AWESOMELYGOOD – LOL !! One word ma right? Can side order this ah?

and do you know Parfait is a French word literally meaning “perfect” commonly employed to describe a kind of frozen dessert? Hahaha.. dunno ler.. but now you know.

We were then offered either Coffee or Tea and I chose Coffee

and say hello to Chef de Cuisine, Virginia Kedit with one of her crew.

To add on to the great fine dining, you can walk around BCCK and you’ll find the prettiest Christmas decorations I’ve seen in Kuching so far. ♥ ♥

with super cute Ruldolph .. with turkey feet?
