Chelsea (finally)

After the long wait, I was finally able to eat here. Had an early dinner with my bestfriend. Right away, I noticed that they had changed the menu from the last time I was able to see it. They are still in their soft opening stages and are probably still getting a feel of the market. A lot were removed from the menu, and a lot were added also. More noticeable however was the change in the prices of the items. Also it was so hot that night too. None of the aircons were again working. Also, we noticed at the end of the meal that we weren't served the complimentary bread plate and the people in the other tables were! Injustice!
They really have to fix their service! I found the cutlery, plates, pepper and salt containers to be so adorable!

We started off with a glass of White Tiramisu Martini

This was made of mascarpone cheese, brandy, amaretto and cream. It really felt like I was drinking purified cheesecake batter. Inspite of that, this was strong and had a quick effect on me. I'd probably try something else before getting this again. I personally don't prefer dessert tasting liquor. My bad, should have gone with something else.

This was good. The cheese shavings were really a great addition. We both felt like the pasta tasted much better on our second serving than on our first. Weird huh? Maybe because it wasn't steaming hot then. I don't know.

This was divine! First off, I was ecstatic they served me a fairly lean pastrami slice. I found the bacon soaked sauerkraut to be very delish and complimentary to the the sandwich. The melted emmenthal cheese was also sooo yummy. I could have eaten that (papak) alone all day!

This was so bad. It was such a sad end to an amazing meal. Conti's cakes are much better and cheaper too!


Would definitely have more of those sandwiches. The pasta and cake weren't that enticing but the sandwich sure was! Gosh I miss New York...Hope to see you soon NY!
