My day

Ed bought me to Au Petit Salut. He had wanted to go back to Au Jardin, just like last year but we tot we wanted to try something different.

He choose the alfresco dinning which occupied the first floor of the three-storey building at Harding Road. Red brick wall at the back of the interior dining area, adorned its mascots from Holland Village; portraits of two French maidens. The dark wood finish and white walls combination of the interior exudes a sophisticated yet homely, warm ambience.

Overall the celebration was good. Food is good except for the main course which was a little disappointing (I took the seabream). Ed was also very disappointed with the service. He had given specific instructions when making reservations, for them to bring me a piece of cake during dessert. But it was forgotten. :) haha…. :P

Anyway I had my birthday cake when I’m back home… my dear bro bought it for me… so sweet.
