This week:
Al Porto Ristorante

Yep, i also got pictures tooo! But using geocities so ther is a viewing limit :( If you guys konw of a better server... one that doesn't require me to install a FTP program and is web based, then... plz tell me... I got a few more of these dinners.. hehe pictures are a must.

We were originally going to go to ONE RESTURANT. But they were closed down.. couldn't pay rent or some crap liek that... so we wandered around and saw this place... and went in for dinner...

Appitizers

 Tuscan Parfait with carrot and cranberry chutneys.

This is my appitizer. but my sister's fork. It was SUPER bad... I saw that lot of other ppl ordered it, but no one was able to finish... hehe. My sister packed it up for her friend... who is said to 'like' this kind of...food (and i use this term loosely)

Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio with organic mixed greens & grana padano shavings.

sisters. And again, sister's fork :P This one is RAW beef...ewww, it stuck to the plate like crazy, she was scrapping it of...whahha the white stuff is some kind of cheese...

Main Course

Cornish Game Hen stuffed with wild mushrooms & finished with a chianti sauce. (a wine sauce)

This is mine's. very delicious, but ordinarry.. not as exotic as i would hope for... and again, portions are small, but not as small as last week's. The wine sauce was very good... but the hen was a little dry, the veggies were crisp and yummy. Mash potatoes, tasted good.

Mixed Seafood Grill wild BC salmon, halibut, scallops & tiger prawn with a sweet red pepper coulis & pesto sauce.

Sister's food... seafood... the halibut was dry. The only flavourful and delicious and NOT dry seafood on her plate was the samon and prawn. But this was again, very small portions... but not as small as last weeks again... but small...

Dessert

Chocolate Ganache Torte accompanied with vanilla sauce

Mine's. DELICIOUS!!! it was great!!! the white sauce is white chocolate sauce. The filling is chocolate Ganache, soft and rich and chocolately. There is a thin layer of chocolate covering.. ok, but can't really taste the chocolate layer. The bottom had 'oreo' like cookie crust... very good, but a very thin layer. The strawberry, gave to sister :P. The caramel drops weren't needed and didn't match with the chocolate texture, made it too sweet, so the milder white chocolate sauce was a better match.

 Bread Pudding fresh fruit with creme anglais & caramel sauce

This is my sister's. DISGUSTING!! my sister didn't finish it...she forced herself to finish half then just coudln't bare to. It tasted like mushy bread with raisin taste. Very bad in my opinion, i perfer my wonderful cake like thingie instead :P

2 more to go before sister's B-day. One more next Saturday and then on thursday on 2nd (her actual b-day). Sister is going w/ friend to another tmr :( w/out me...booooo pizza for me tmr i guess....
