And here it is again... for the 7th times Again.. at the same place (La Perle du Lac) again....It just couldnt get better. It was Spectacular.. especially when you felt you missed the Opening Cermony at the Beijing Olymics (i mean live).
I was more than excited to share it with a special polish friend Aga. We had a great time at the restaurant (from where we watched the fireworks). Since ive worked there for half a decade i got the best seats with Michelin serivice. It was creme a la creme.
We reached there on time. There was the usual cordially Bonjours, Bonsoirs and Comment ca vas from ex-employees and ex-bosses, they were rather Glad to see me. But it seemed they were more interested in my date rather than me ( its true Gentleman Prefer Blondes). And once we settled at our thrones, we were given the Food Menu and the Wine Menu Book (yeah they didn't have a Wine Menu Card but it was a wine book with different Wines from different countries and regions, the most expensive they had was USD 4000) We started our course with two glasses of Champagne. Then we selected a 2003 french red wine from the region Bordeaux. It was smooth with slight hint of sweetness which went by par with the starter and Main Course.
Then as the evening passed by we had our starter: Goat Cheese topped with Baby Bean Sprouts layered with Croustillant and Olive Tepanade and Apricot sauce. Yummiest starter i had in my life, it just gave me a exploding flavour in my mouth. I can still feel the taste.
For the main course we had a sea fish called Lotte (Monkfish) topped with Baby Asparagus on a bed of soaked Bell Peppers with Lobster Sauce. We had it so gently and took our own time to relish the aroma and taste.
By the time we got our desert : Mint with Vanilla & Lemon with Peach Ice cream on Birds Nest with fresh Red Berries and coated with Raspberry Sauce. That's when i really understood the term 'melted in your mouth' the fireworks had started.. it was bigabang bagaboom. Lights were off -sparkles in the sky, stars twirling around other stars. It was excellent
We then finished with 2 espressos.(yeah its a french thing).
Then after the aurevoirs me and Aga went across the lake for a walk to check the Geneva Festival (the last day at the games and etc..) which was crowded like a carnival. She was so happy i won for her a stuffed toy in one of the gun shooting at rabbits thing. Then we walked again till the old town (wow.. we sure walked a lot this evening)... Overall it was a exciting memorable evening...

Okay, I can't comment here... will call you soon.
Okay Vinod, as much as Antonio admires your way of life... I have to say don't do anything I wouldn't do ;)
Otherwise, sounds like a great evening, I have no idea about the food you described here... sounds nice too, what was the last picture.. though? was that the dessert? And you can't go spoiling all that wine and the good food by drinking espressos in the end...
Karen stop picking on him. Vinod looks like you had a nice time. how was the carnival?? and karen .. i think you would have done all the things he has/hasnt done so far ;)
