July babies Celebration at Porto Romano

Note: Please forgive me for the tardiness of this entry.

I have been meaning to write about our Sunday lunch with friends a few weeks back but due to slow uploading of pictures, hence the delay. Our friends typically celebrated each others birthdays by having dinner or lunch together. The last time was like 4-5 months back (shahrul's). It was about time to have another one. So i decided to ask everybody out to celebrate July babies (Siti Fazilla, Mas, Suriani, Kak Su and myself). Below is the picture of the July babies (obviously i was the best looking one among them) and the cup cakes as the birthday cake (thank you faizal and Mas, next time janganlah beli but buatlah handmade with love.. lebih lak mintak). Thank you also to Fariz Helmi and Liza for the Sex and the City DVD gifts.

Not only sweet but also an eye candy. i justed learned you should squeeze the bottom part to get the cake out.

The location was great, we held it at Porto Romano's (Porto is a port city in Portugal while Romano is an Italian cheese) in Mont Kiara betul2 beside Wendy's (Wafi's favorite place).They served Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. The food was so-so.. meaning certain dishes were fantastic(Lamb shank - terliur tengok Mas and Su nye dish) while others not so (Raviolli and Cannoli - yes we were the unlucky ones, tulah tak nak dengar cakap wife). Price was 'oklah' but wished they gave bigger portions for it. Service was not up to par but not to the level that will annoy Wafi (Wafi will always make sure we get good service everytime we ate out together.. at whatever extend, thats why Wafi is a must when we eat out). Heres a couple of dishes from the menu.

Seafood Cannoli - 3 pieces je.. RM8+ per piece, tak kenyang langsung

Apple Pie - rasa macam roti canai apple + susu pekat

Among those who attended were: Shania, Benjy, Wafi and the adults were Amru, Siti, Siti Farah, Shahrul Ketua, Shahrul, Su, Kak Su, Jibb, Faizal, Mas, Maz, Zul, Fariz Helmi and Liza. Below are our pics.

Jejaka-jejaka hensem ala Portogese

Awek-awek manis ala Italian

So during our lunch we had ample time to talk/catch up/ kutuk orang/interview (siti.. awek baru amru) in a comfortable setting. We ended up spending nearly 3 hours there. (1+ hour just to wait for Jibb). The best part was we were conquering the place and it feels very cozy just like at home. They had sofas (picture below) and a big balcony (picture above) for us to enjoy. There were also very nice decorations and picture walls. My favorite is a portrait of Don Corleone from Godfather.

Dah nak balik tapi tiba2 lepak kat sofa for additional half and hour or so.

Not forgetting, we took a lot of pictures especially courtesy from Amru. Peluang ni jelah nak pakai cantik2, kumpul ramai2 (Shahrul ketua asik pergi India je, Shahrul berkebun kat Setiu, Siti Farah berceramah satu malaya, Amru shooting) and take pictures. Masing2 pun dah plan nak posing2 for the past week (especially shahrul.. rasanya dia upah model coach, or hes just vain).

All in all, we had a great time. Everybody was happy to just chill out and enjoy each others company particularly the kids Shania and Benjamin. Hope we can continue to do this in the coming years. Insyallah.
