Happy Birthday Grandpa & Aunty

December 3rd was Grandpa and Aunty's birthday. It's a double celebration every year but I was too little last year to realize this and have a piece of the fun.

Nevertheless this year I made it a point to celebrate in a moderately lavish style. Normally we hit the vegetarian restaurants since Grandpa is a full time vegetarian. This time around, with good research on the internet ... Thanks daddy for the hard work ... we found Izzi Lifestyle Restaurant. The branch we went to was in Bukit Bintang.

The attraction was advertisement on the left of the photo above. Yup, it was 75% off the bill for your meals. This excludes beverages and desert.

They were all geared up for Christmas and a nice little tree was put up at the entrance, the beautiful lights and ornaments caught my attention. I'm gonna go 'Shopping Mall Christmas Deco Preview' soon, but that'll be in another edition.

For starters we had the Izzi Dough Ball which is served with Garlic Butter and the Soup of the day which was Chicken Cream Soup. I loved the dough ball, it was very fluffy and soft. Felt nice while I chewed on it.

The weight watchers in the family went with the Greek Salad. It was a colourful dish with fresh romaine lettuce, onions, tomatoes all tossed in Izzi's special italian dressing topped with fetta cheese and sundried tomato.

For the main course we went for the Cambodian Chicken. This was a spicy one.

Grandpa ordered the vegetable Pizza but we all digged in aswell.

The Chicken steak with pasta smelled very nice with all the mushroom sauce oozing all over. It was a boneless piece with small serving of salad to go with it.

Then came the Spicy Italian Sausage Linguine. The sausage was lamb and it was tossed in Italian herbs paste. We tried a little of everything, I manage to get a bite of pasta and of course my favourite the dough ball.

For desert we had the Apple Strudel. The weigh watchers yet again ruined my plans of having some ice-creams and other items that were rich in cream.

All in it was a good dinner outing cause with the good food and equally good bill in the end, we had a fantastic celebration. Poniters to the uncles and aunties at Izzi, you need to put in a little effort in hiring additional hands cause the place was packed with people and most of them might have got their meals late just as we did.
