..... birthday .....
i seem to have scrap off the idea of bday bashes or big group gathering
as one aged,we tend to treat this day as a normal day
chilling out with frens
spending those moments reminiscing and laughing our way thru the nite

i wonder how will i celeb my bday when i reach the age of 30plus 40plus 50plus etc
here today,we helped celeb dearie's mum bday
it was a planned dinner @ Le Blanc
its my very 1st time being expose to the wonderful concept of Private Kitchen
you feel like you’re dining in someone’s continental living room circa 1890
it dishes up sturdy French food within decadent,authentic and lavishly furnished surroundings

the interior most closely resembles grandma’s house
the homely-kitchen to your left
a huge flower display in front of you and books,vases and nick-nacks all around
it has lovely mellow wood walls ard
in the corner was a clapped-out piano and mismatched chairs for every diner
every table is cluttered with fine crockery,vintage tablecloths and most importantly,pots of pencils
dim sum style,you tick what you want from each section of the menu

the minimum charge is HKD$280
pick and choose between starters,soups,seafood,mains and dessert
it’s classic continental cooking unfussily served and tasting clean and fresh
it’s not complicated or highly inventive food
but it’s good solid cooking that will make you feel like your eating in someone’s home

though this being Hong Kong
everything feels a little on the cramped side
a trip to the bathroom involved much pushing in of chairs and sucking in of the belly
which was proving harder to do as the meal continued into the night for the food was good
( some tasted bland thou,lol )
- lol lol lol lol -

though service is somewhat erratic
but the staffs were friendly and it is surely only a matter of a little more training
Le Blanc’s owners have a great eye for décor and an obvious love of food
what can i say
despite its shortfalls,i loved the Le Blanc experience
however,i realise with a slight shock that this has become a mass produced commodity
