Last night I went to a fine dining Italian place. Had a 5 course tasting menu from a guest chef from Sicily. Had a bottle of 93 Chateau Labegorce from Margaux. The food was okay, not amazing. There was just a little something wrong with each course. Good effort though.
Tonight after the concert I went to frangipani, a fine dining french restaurant on one of the main drags. The wine list was very large and quite complete, but crazy overpriced. Settled on a bottle of 91 Larrivet Haut Brion, which is like a $100 bottle of wine in the US, for the ringgit equiv of $300 bucks. Had a 4 course tasting menu. Food was fantastic. Not brave new world stuff like Margaux in Berlin, just really great classic French cuisine. Had a glass of '73 calvados with dessert. Tasty.
When I was sat the matrodie was up front about how he had to seat me next to a large party. I said it was fine. It was a 20 top of Austrian dudes and Malaysian chicks. And they were pouring Chateau Lafite Rothschild as the table wine!! And remember, the shit is like 400% markup from normal price too. Crazy. Granted, most of the chicks weren't drinking the wine, but still. The poor bastard with that bill.
There was a club upstairs from the restaurant. Went there after dinner. Pounding house music, scantily clad Malaysian chicks, and this nasty apple and scotch martini drink everyone was drinking.
