早前和男友慶祝生日,他挑了一家他喜歡的法國餐廳。食物水平和服務態度都是一流的。每一道菜都精緻美味,尤其是我最挑剔的法包,好吃得讓我停不了口,害得我之後的主菜都吃不下。男友最愛的鵝肝,更是一絕。得知是男友生日,餐廳還很周到的安排了一個很特別的生日蛋糕 - 用他們不同味道的特色馬卡龍砌成一個迷你蛋糕,很有心思。但讓我最「驚喜」的,是我喝的那杯紅酒。本人有個毛病,就是:喜歡喝紅酒,卻對那些什麼「巴巴閉閉」的高尚酒莊沒有太多的認識。喜歡什麼酒,純粹靠自己的舌頭,侍酒師讓我試喝時,我覺得哪一支好喝,就要一杯,就這麼簡單。這次,自然也不例外。但這次,出事了。從來沒有餐廳會肯把過萬元的高級紅酒開來逐杯賣,所以,我也沒有特地問價錢。結果,埋單時,我挑的那杯紅酒,盛惠五百大元。天啊!難怪好喝得要命。男友搶著埋了單。唉!早知這麼貴,我就不捨得大口大口的喝,而是逐滴逐滴慢慢品嚐了。
#一Tann一點英語:
We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday a little while ago. He picked one of his favorite French restaurants with both superb food and service. Each and every course was exquisitely delicious. I especially loved their baguettes which I'm pickiest about when it comes to French cuisine. I ate so much of it I almost didn't have any room left for my main courses. Their foie gras, my boyfriend's favorite, was practically unparalleled. Knowing we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant even saw to it that my boyfriend received a unique birthday cake 'assembled' with their signature macaroons of different flavors.
However, the highest point of the night turned out to be the glass of red wine I ordered. I'm a very weird red wine drinker. Despite loving it, I never bothered learning much about those famous, uppity wineries. Instead, I usually let my own tongue do the choosing. So, whenever the sommelier presents me with his recommendations, I would just go with the one that tastes the best to me. So of course, why should this dinner be any different? Oh boy! I couldn't be more wrong. We had never come across any fine dining restaurant that would be crazy enough to crack open a bottle of fine red wine costing over 10 thousand dollars and sell it by the glass. And therefore I didn't bother asking the price assuming it would be around the usual price range. Time to get the bill and I was informed by the number on it that my glass of wine cost $500. I was flabbergasted. I'll be damned! No wonder it was as smooth as silk. My boyfriend ended up footing the bill. And I , I kept kicking myself, thinking that if I'd known it was so darn expensive, I wouldn't' have gulped it down so liberally, I would have savored it drop by tiny drop.😁
