Daniel's Birthday - El Mondo Italian & Western Cuisine

Celebrated Daniel Boii's birthday last Friday night. I know, another late post, wanted to blog about this few days back but end up sick. Getting much better now, well at least now I can lie down flat on my tummy again (for a while before it hurts again -.-).

Anyway, back to the main topic. Daniel's birthday supposed to be the 5th March, but we has a early celebration for him. Went to El Mondo @ E-gate for dinner. All first time diners at that place - Adrena, Audrea, Su Yan, Kee Lee and Me~~ All girls celebrating for Daniel's birthday, hehe.

Various types of pasta displayed on the table outside the restaurant.

El Mondo's menu book.

Interior of the restaurant. Partly open kitchen concept, though we can't actually sit there and watch them preparing our food.

Lots of Tabascos' miniatures, displayed nicely on the counter.

Our drinks - Strawberry Milkshake with float, 2 Lemonade, Ice Lemon Tea and Carrot Juice.

Vanilla Milkshake with Float.

Spaghetti Amatriciana Ala Pepe - Spaghetti with Beef Bacon in Black Pepper Sauce. This is actually the first time I saw spaghetti cooked this way, with black pepper sauce I mean. The taste? Just like eating instant 'mee goreng' except this being spaghetti =P

Spaghetti Aragosta - Spaghetti with slipper Lobster Meat, Prawns, Chili and Cream in Tomato Sauce. Adrena ordered this and she regretted ordering it, hahaha. Nothing special about it except being a tad spicy, that was it.

Lasagna Con Pollo - Chicken Lagasana with Tomato Sauce, Cheese and Spinach. Su Yan ordered this, and was very stuff halfway through it, lolz. Very cheesy and nice, but very filling as well. Thumb up for this dish.

Pan Fried Seabass - Seabass fillet Pan-fried to crispy perfection serve with Steam Asparagus and Dill Butter Sauce. Ordered by the birthday boy and he liked it a lot, haha. Another thumb up xD

Lasagna Di Carne - Minced beef lasagna with Tomato Sauce, Bechamel and Cheese. I was deciding between the Fettuccine Carbonara and this. I am a fan of Fettuccine Carbonara but I opt for this instead. Luckily for me, I don't regret having this. Cheesy and I like the tomato sauce. One more thumb up xD

Calamari Ring - Marinated squid ring fried to perfection serve with Lemon Wedge and Tartare Sauce. Kee Lee only ordered this. She arrived very late and had taken her dinner at home. And she somehow managed to take the wrong road and went all the way to Queensbay before turning back to E-Gate -.-'' But she didn't make the wrong choice of food. The Calamari Ring was superb. Nicely marinated and fried. All of us like it. Two thumbs up for it xD

There was this promotion when we were there. For every order of any pasta or pizza, guests would be entitled for 1 lucky draw. We ordered 4 pasta dishes, so we are entitled for 4 lucky draws.

Lucky draw prizes written in small boxes placed inside a Famous Amos biscuits can, hehe.

And, all 4 of us pull out the same prize. Small Tabasco's miniature, wakakaka. Well, better than nothing right? ^.^v

After our dinner, we walked over to Starbucks. Ordered some drinks and chit chat till it was 12am, official birthday date for Daniel Boii (05-03-2011). Bought a few pieces of cakes from Secret Recipe, light up a candle and sang a birthday song for him xD *Daniel Boii must be very 'kam tong' after this =P*

Daniel's 'birthday cake' =D

I know it's a bit late now, but Happy Birthday again Daniel Boii and hope you had a great time that night xD
