“Oh you are such a pest! I’m not slacking on the diet! Stop laughing at me!” She said, impatiently. “Hurry and tuck into the Mini Wagyu ‘n’ Foie Burgers before I shove them all down my throat and you shall have none. ”
“Well darling, these mini burgers look magnificent don’t they?” He winks. “Explains alot why you are harbouring pesky thoughts to keep them all to yourself.”
Obviously the Mini Wagyu ‘n’ Foie Burgers $22 caught both her attention. He know how she likes mini and pretty items. Indulging in witless banters over a trio of bite size burgers before the mains arrived, she takes a tiny nibble at the carefully glazed bun before savouring the rich, buttery and delicate taste of the fatty liver.
“Mmm. I love this. The roughness of the Wagyu goes perfectly well with the tender Foie. Oh dear. I’m not really a fan of burgers but I can actually have a few more of this!” She exclaimed with a greedy twinkle in her eye.
He looked up. Distracted. As much as he loves her, it was really strange to him how this woman can effortlessly forgot everything she said just a minute ago.
“Baby, have I told the story of how the Roman emperor Elagabalus fed his dogs on foie gras during the four years of his chaotic reign? ”
That did the trick.
Not that the Mini Wagyu ‘n’ Foie Burgers were bad. He just thinks the Wagyu was not enough for his appetite and was secretly pleased that he ordered the Wagyu Beef Rump $36 to satisfy his carnivorous cravings. Nothing beats the Wagyu Beef Rump which comes with a trio of mushroom, braised oxtail, cherry tomato chutney, bacon krupuk, butter poached potatoes and beef jus. Succulent and tasty. Just the right dish for a tasty gentleman like him.
Keen to irritate her with imaginary stories that always end with her whimsical laughter, he gets into the mood once the Squash Risotto $23 was served.
“Darling, can you imagine that the Squash Risotto is a orange-haired babe who had a similar nature to the Wagyu Beef Rump, only she was haughty and stuck-up as well, and though Wagyu Beef Rump often asked her to come and play at his house, she always said no.”
“Oh dear. What kind of a story is this?” she chuckled.
He knew that she would get this dish. She has been texting him all day, dropping hints that she need comfort food after a meeting went haywire first thing in the morning. Squash Risotto served with gratinéed goat cheese, baked pine nuts and thyme. He stole a bite and was pleased with the blast of flavours. How much comfort could a woman ask for? Somehow, watching her carefully scooping spoonfuls of bright orange baby food made him happy too. He never noticed how shapely her lips were. But that’s a story for another day.
“Well I’m not done yet. So the Squash Risotto would say, Beef Rump! I can’t be left to cool now, otherwise I won’t taste nice. Won’t you understand that? Why don’t you go and visit the Raspberry? before she shrieked at him.” He’s a sly one. He knew that dessert was on its way.
“Hahaha darling stop this nonsensical story! It’s killing me!” She laughed and squeezed his hand before dessert distracts her short attention. “Oh raspberries! Dessert looks absolutely pretty tonight!” she cried, tapping lightly on a tea sphere. Now that her attention was on the ruby red raspberries, he dug his spoon into her alluring plate of the Squash Risotto again.
Oh yes. Raspberries $16. Perfect way to end the night. She was so pleased with the aerated crème anglaise, honey comb and tea spheres. It was a winner on both taste and texture. New age food is something she mentioned that she’ll want to try. He gladly obliged. She deserves everything that he can provide. Food has always been a fanciful affair for them.
“How was dinner my love?”
“It was delightful! Thank you Mr.Engineer And I love you.”
Mission accomplished.
