Wanted to blog bout this earlier (read: constant procrastination), but truly, i had to study for a test! So anyway, what i really wanted to blog about, was the lovely dinner at Truffles, Portsmouth, that i was able to enjoy, with the charming company of terrence, jacky and maine *smiles*

Dinner reservation for 4 at Truffles Wine Bar & Restaurant: 4 course meal topped with a bottle of Pinot blanc white wine. (http://www.trufflesfrancais.co.uk/)

Good french food a la complementary of my sister. Thanks jie! I really enjoyed the meal there.

Starters:

















Starters: us girls had muscley mussels while the guys snacked on homeless little snails (the poor escargots) deeelicious little clammy creatures.









Main Course:






















Part 2 of ultimate sinful pleasure: I had wine-marinated venison with poached pear *slurps*, maine had pork tenderloin topped with shallots, jacky had roasted duck with foie gras and terrence had seared fowl with a grilled tomato.

(see the wall deco! interesting place with huge rakes and scythes on the ceiling, hammers, pots and pans hung on the walls..how countryside quaint is that *beams*)


Truffles' famous Cheese board:















Part 3: Smorgasbord of different imported French & European cheese. Served with a variety of flavoured water biscuits












Dessert:









Annnd the topping of a fantastic dinner - dessert. 2 creme brule (the guys), chocolate drizzled profiterole for maine and a gratin of summer berries for me (absinthe soaked berries with italian meringue - bring on the green fairy!(movie: eurotrip))








So there ends the lovely dinner at Truffles, where we caught the Last bus and the Last train back to the sweet town of Guildford. Gotta hand a really hUGE thaNkS to my dearest sis for this wonderful dinner treat. Plus a GReat big THAnKS to maine and my buddies, for joining me on this lovely dinner. I really enjoyed myself and i'm glad u guys were there with me. The company of friends makes it a whole lot more fun *smiles*

Strange thing though. We acted so drunk, with all the laughing and giggling on the way back. Must be the absinthe.

Note: no green fairies sighted though *shrugs*
