beefie bought us Forlino's set lunch for 2 @ bigdeals.sg! $26.8nett instead of $44.7nett! includes an appetiser, a main course, and coffee/tea!
we were greeted with a long and exquisitely decorated walkway to the restaurant from the ulu lift beside Butterfactory at One Fullerton.
hehe does my bag and cardigan look good on beefie's hands?? hurhur.
the reception area is actually a bar area, with a mafia theme.
the lamp behind me had its pole in the shape of a golden rifle. if u remember, famous local blogger xiaxue held her mafia-themed ROM here.
we were greeted with fantastic views once we entered the dining area, facing the Esplanade and Marina Bay Sands area.
Forlino's servers were very professional and hospitable, though there's no practice of having specific server waiting on specific tables, but the various servers there took turns to constantly make sure we were comfortable there.
once i sat down, i was given a stool to put my bag on. and when i was taking off my cardigan, a server actually offered to take my cardigan and helped me hang it behind my chair.
that is the "servers' work table" lor, truly servers of a different class hor? lols.
lunch started with amuse bouche - focaccia with ricotta flan, which is basically just atas bread and butter. hahaha. not too bad, the focaccia has the right degree of crispiness and the flan wasnt overly thick had even a tinge of truffle fragrance.
my potato leek appetiser soup, just the right savoury thickness.
beefie's octopus salad was a tad too fishy and the bitter rocket vegetable just didnt please my palate very much, unfortunately.
my main course was a fine piece of pan-fried garoupa, with just the right amount of moisture in the fish.
his was tasty pork cheek with just the right amount of fats, but he would be happier if they gave him more than just 3 slices of the meat. hahahaha. truly a fine dining place~~
after main course, the server asked if i want coffee/tea, and i thought it's separately charged and rejected the server politely. then the server said "oh it's included in the set." sibehhhhhh maluuuuuuuuuu. heartlanders will always be heartlanders. bleahhhhhhhhhh.
it was quite a good atas experience for us, but i must say that it kinda bursted my whole taitai fantasy when the receptionist at the door asked if we are there on the bigdeals promotion. bahhhhhhh. =_=
some touristy shots after we exited Forlino. how long have u not taken a close look at our beautiful Lion City?
