Tracy

Sorry about the lack of updates guys, but as the semester is coming to an end, everything just blows up! Stress initiates almost every downfall in life - true fact yo.

As I've mentioned before, above everything else, I love taking photographs of people. Just to keep this site a tad bit more alive than its usual dead scene, I'd took some time off my hectic schedule to snap some profile pictures for my cousin, Tracy.

Model: Tracy
Theme: Of summer dresses & ballet pumps
Venue: A park in Kota Kemuning residence area
*Nope, none was edited. All fresh pieces! (Also I didn't have the time hehe :P )

Fooling around in the room while Tracy scouts for props. 

(Which explains the messy room) 

My favorite among all personal shots :) 

And once we figured that it was about to rain on our parade, we decide to have a little fun for ourselves first! Self timer rawks socks!! :D

Can't wait to take photo shoots to somewhere else other than nearby parks. *excited*

Assignments all due in two weeks time. 

See you when I am actually alive with a fun soul then!

Product briefing

Cristallo Di Luna: Experiencing bubbles & claws sky high

I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to fine dine at The Pacific Regency Hotel Suites, KL last week. So, what separates the busy KL life below and the exquisite atmosphere above it? With a glass of Bollinger champagne and freshly cooked lobsters of course in a glamorous dining restaurant, Cristallo Di Luna! ;)

Cristallo's entrance

Such a classy bar, don't you think? ;) 

The set up dining table

Romantic ambience for special occasions ;)

Walking into the sparkly, classy ambience Cristallo portrays from all the crystals hung from above... it definitely lived up to its name. I overheard one of the asst. managers mentioning to one of the guests that the restaurant's main theme is crystals; which explains the name 'Cristallo' and the crystal chandeliers. I can't remember how many times I wow-ed out loud! It is definitely one of the best looking classy restaurants I've dined at. 

Now, let's move on to the scrumptious meals they fed us with. ;) The main theme of the night was something similar to the Bond theme as Bollinger Champagne is the signature champagne under the label of James Bond 007. Ohh, mysterious, classy and dangerous ;)

 

Greeted with a glass of fruit punch upon arrival 

 The themed menu

'Tomorrow Never Dies' Chef Salad

Lightly dressed greens in tangy lemon vinaigrette with feta cheese, grilled chicken slices and baby tomatoes.

I personally loved the simple salad the most! For a person who don't fancy greens in her dishes, this, I would nom on everyday ;)

Served with warm cozy wheat bread 

Creamy bowl of 'Quantum Of Solace' Prawn Bisque

Velvety bisque of tomato simmered with lots of prawns and doused with a generous splash of cognac and cream

And, presenting the main catch of the night! LOBSTERS!! :D

Lobster Thermidor & Stir Fried Lobster with Thai Basil served with Fried rice

Lobster Thermidor - Sautéed pieces of lobster, finished with a gratinée of velvety béchamel and cheese sauce.

Stir Fried Lobster with Thai Basil - need I say more from the title? ;D This Thai influenced dish really hit the spot!

Best accompanied with a glass of Pacha-Mama's Cabernet Rose wine ;)

Recommended by the waiter, this Rose wine is to enhance the lobster's scrumptious taste giving a more satisfied feel to your taste buds.

Bubbly! Bloop bloop bloop... 

 And even after all that fulfilling meal, 'The World Is Not Enough'!

Featuring Angus New York Striploin, New Zealand Lamb Rack and Grilled Garoupa. A pleasant dish that combines the best of surf and turf where guests can sample three of Cristallo’s main dishes.

And lastly, to satisfy our sweet tooth, Peach Melba :)

A big scoop of perfumed vanilla ice cream with peach slices and some Raspberry sauce dripped all over.

Another highlight of the night - Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne

Bollinger Special Cuvee NV Champagne is renowned as the ‘king’ of non-vintage champagnes. The champagne consists of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. With a unique selling point of a collection of 600,000 magnums of Grands and Premiers crus fermented in barrels, bottled with natural corks, kept for 5 to 15 years or longer, Bollinger certainly exhibits the art of consistency in their champagnes.

Another awesome feature of Pacific Regency Hotel Suites is the Luna Bar outside Cristallo, on the 33/34th floor. This bar is a definite must visit for tourists, or even locals who just want to chill with a spectacular view of KL. 

Love this comfy seating idea with glass windows! 

And of course, the amazing blue pool!! :D 

 Bright colored themed bar

As night falls, the view just gets better. ;)
