Happy Mama’s Day
Happy Mama’s Day – 2009-05-14 16:01:05
Specially designed for my beloved mama~
It’s been 2 years I missed to celebrate this meaningful day with my mum because I stayed in UK back then and I never sent greeting cards to my mum too because I didn’t take this seriously and let my siblings did the ’show’, lolz… I’m so bad huh? Some more Mother’s Day in UK is rather earlier than second week of May, I forgot when already :P But this year, I thought I want to create some surprise. Well… I did… I did buy present specially for my mum sharing with Ah Wei by using our self-earned money :D
I planned to bring family to a rather ‘high class’ restaurant to celebrate Mother’s Day. When I was searching for food promotion on the net, I came across Italianies where I desperately wanted to try out last time offered Mother’s Day promotion where they have selected main course will have discount according to mother’s age. I told Ah Wei about this and she also agreed. I quickly called to Sunway Pyramid’s branch to reserve 6-person table at 1.15pm. There was a big mess behind the scene when arranging for this occasion though and I won’t bother to mention, hehe…
In the car. On the way to Sunway Pyramid~
I thought today would be very jammed and packed. It took us a while to find the actual location for Italianies, it was our first time being there after all :P Although we took some time to find, but still managed to reach there on time.
Walking into the restaurant
It’s so hot outside and yet the entrance is outside >< We were led by a waiter to a 10-person table upstairs, so spacious huh? Lolz…
The interior is rather vintage with checkered table cloth
We were served complimentary white bread and seeded bread. Waiter also served us 2 plates of olive oils+herbs for the meal later but we used up partially for the bread, so inappropriate :P
The menu
Okay okay… We flipped through the menu. We ordered spaghetti, bread, pizza and salad with 6 glasses of sky juice as advised by Ah Wei. Mum also ordered the most expensive beef steak for the Mother’’s Day promotion since it will be discounted 51%, lolz! This was the time I heard about this kind of promotion loh :D I have been holding the camera since I came inside the restaurant of coz I want to capture everything loh! Haha!
Busy taking orders
Portraits of all of us, except Ah Wei :P
When food was coming, we were served ‘politely’ as if they ‘whispered’ beside you with the name of the dish, haha~
Smoked Salmon Pizza – Crispy dough
Parmesan cheese blended with spinach, artichokes and mushrooms served with toasted homemade garlic bread – So cheesy!
Caesar Salad – The most healthiest of all
4-6 person big plate Meatball Spaghetti – The meatballs are so damn big
Filet Mignon with Portabella Mushroom – Mother’s Day promotion
Mama and me ^^
The food is not bad I would say. When the bill came, the total surprised me and luckily it’s within my budget, cool! 4 dishes + 51% off dish woh! I wouldn’t come here if there wasn’t promotion, honestly :P
After the meal, we went to shop around Sunway Pyramid and we managed to buy some stuffs before going back home :D
Waiting for mum to come out from kitchen…
It’s present-giving time. It’s so hard to create surprises when mum went to the kitchen right after coming back home, lolz… She was quite busy back there when I was waiting for her to ‘appear’. After around 20 minutes, she came to living room and I hand-over the present to her! She was quite surprised, I think :P
Handing over the present, so thrilled like that :P
See my mum’s brilliant smile? :D
Hope that she will love this gift ^^
Wish all mothers around the world Happy Mother’s Day~ Yay!
