.Chatterbox: It’s up there.

28 Aug 08

Cheeky and I revisited Chatterbox at Meritus Mandarin to satisfy his craving for the chicken rice. [To The Previous Visit] Away from the ground floor and relocated high up at the 38th Floor where Top of the M used to be. There was this deja-vu when we took the lift up the 38th floor, when I was brought there during my birthday last year. Sadly, all the deja-vu kinda took a stop when the lift’s door open.

We were brought before glass panels where the warmth of the evening shone in glaringly. It was kinda disappointing to see that even Observatory Lounge is no longer there but replaced by Chatterbox too – the chilling area. The dinner area was up the red-carpeted spiral stairs which has lost its magical effects too. It could have been due to the time of the day. Evening being evening brings a different kind of ambience. But still, it was nice ‘watching the sunset’, which can be considered as Cheeky’s first sunset since his return.. Oh, and the thing is…it’s not even revolving anymore…

And so, it just made me realised sometimes it’s not so much of the location. But it’s the location matched with the interior decoration of a place, plus the range and type of patrons it has and the ambience that the restaurant provides via music and probably kind of services provided.

CHATTERBOX: CELEBRATORY MOMENTS – 25th JAN 08

CHATTERBOX: CELEBRATORY MOMENTS – 25th JAN 08

A belated celebration in the same building that we went just about a month ago. This time round, we went local! And we probably had the most expensive local food in our lives. We were greeted by mandarin speaking waitresses at the entrance of Chatterbox at Meritus Mandarin. But somehow the mind is already tuned to converse in English in such classy places. And its apparent that it took us awhile to actually reply in mandarin too.

Menu of Chatterbox

A variety of local delicacies were available for our choice. From the famous Chicken Rice to Wanton Noodles, Nasi Lemak, Laksa etc.
And it just made me feel like trying a lil of all, to know whats so special bout it that allows it to call for the price of a week’s lunch budget.
Home of the Mandarin Chicken Rice

Perfect Red and Black

The interior design is the perfectly complemented modern Red and Black! And I always think that Red and Black goes well in interior design. Of course not so if you’re looking for a cosy place. Its v much of a style of a mixture of oriental and modernity.
In the panel of glass

Even the glasses were tinted red.

The famous Chicken Rice!
Thumbs up for the Chicken Rice, had better be since it’s like 20 bucks! Especially the rice! It’s really really fragrant. And the chicken was generously served with 2 thick layers. Succulent and yummie with their special Ginger and chilli sauce!
Lobster Laksa

Beautifully presented and garnished that I dont feel like destroying this beautiful laksa. Yupps. The prettiest Laksa I ever had. Love the laksa gravy even though its not spicy, coz its aldy nice enough! and hees, indeed fresh and spongey lobster to go with the laksa. And yes, the most expensive laksa so far, for 30 bucks.

Prawn Dumpling

I must say that I really really love this! Would always love sides and desserts more than main courses =x. Fried to the right level of crispiness! YUMMIE. Goes ultimately well with the sauce!hmm…wasabe mix w sth else..=x hahas.

The Extravagance

Too bright

Finally after dinner, took some photos! Sweet memories again!
But I guess it is already sweet enough to know that someone is out there to make each anniversary memorable. Something and somewhere to really really remember. To look back the photos and match each places to the important days. To bear in mind that we shared those memories before.
arigatos! ^^
Can I stay in the circle?
