Semalam was hubby's 29th b'day! Dh tua dh cik abg saya tuh...and soon to be a daddy :)! Despite the differences in our working hours....we still had managed to run for a quick b'day dinner.
For weeks duk la pikir maner nk bwk hubby. Nk gi kat The Ship mcm a bit too far coz dia x blh kluar dinner lama sgt....thn thought of bringing him to Top Hat, but a couple of years ago dh bwk dia kt ctu dh. Thn i had remembered him saying he wanted to try out this new place tht had just been opened at KLCC....Ben's. So wanting to surprise him....i did not utter a word ms nk ke saner (surprise la konon2!). But as soon as we had reached level 1 kt KLCC, dia trs ckp "Syg nk bwk abg mkn kat Ben's eh??" with tht cute smile of his :). Tak surprise lgsg la....hehe....
Anyway, this was our 1st visit there. Earlier i had called to make a reservation, but i was informed tht they did not take any reservations after 8pm. We were told to just walk-in. Fortunately, tak ramai org mlm tuh (maybe sbb tgh bulan kot??).
So we walked-in, the mid section of the restaurant was almost fully occupied, but still we had managed to get a good table. The ambiance was romantically litted with dim lights and soft music...but suara org berckp lg kuat sbnrnye, a bit riuh la. It was a relaxed set-up, i would say. Mula2 nk order salad jugak coz in most of the review i had read over the net, ppl were praising their salad selections non-stop but hubby ckp nnt dulu la coz takut main servings tuh is a big portion....x abis lak kang. And you know what?? Thank god i listened to him coz the portion served mmg muat2 perut je....huhu...Paling surprising was we had only waited for slightly more than 5 mins to get our food! Tht is super fast for a restaurant mcm nih....slalunye dlm 15 mins or so la kn....we were actually stunned by this! haha....
Hubby's selection : Ben's Nasi Ulam. A huge portion....mcm2 ada! Fried chicken, sambal udang, rendang dgg, pucuk paku,telur masin & keropok. X terhabis hubby mkn.
Since hubby dh pilih local dish, i had decided to try out the western menu lak. My heart was torned between the Mac n Cheese and Spaghetti Carbonara....but hubby duk geleng je kpl bila i mentioned the word Cheese!! huhu....You see, i'm trying to reduce my weight ckit ms pregnant nih.....so, Cheese = NO! So i had chosen the Carbonara instead.....and boy, i did not see tht coming! It was yummylicious!! Cream was just right....x watery sgt or pekat sgt....the beef bacon sgt sedap! Makan pun x muak. It was just plain perfect :).
Masa tgk menu before tht...i saw tht they had Red Velvet cake listed in their dessert options. Ingatkn lps mkn, nk order the cake and wat ala2 tiup b'day candle (i had atually brought with me a single candle from office to put on a slice of cake)...but since both dh ke"mentik'kan yg amat sgt, so just pack-to-go je la. After antar hubby blk ofis, i went bck home.
Later tht night, i had a small surprise for hubby bila dia blk dr keje tht midnight. I stayed up to wait for him and as soon as dia masuk je bilik, i already had the cake waiting for him ;)
note: just in case if anybody was wondering....the cake was super yummy! Very moist...the cream pun just right! i would definitely go back for it again!
