Happy Birthday Mr. Happy

Ok, I plead guilty. I have been a lazy blogger the past week and a half. Things have been busy in the life of MerBear and my time for daily public reflections disappeared on me. So, without further ado, please allow me to catch you up!

First and foremost, Mr. Happy celebrated his birthday!

The years march onward for Mr. Happy but who would know??? We kicked off the day with a glass of fresh juice.

Made with his new birthday juicer!!! This thing sucks downs whole apples. (What a great gift idea MerBear!)

This will be a healthy year for Mr. Happy...starting tomorrow. Today, we celebrate with decadent eats!

Our dinner plans began in reverse order. We went across the street to Delicious.

Here we ordered up a big slice of mango cheesecake.

From there, we cabbed it down to Changkat Bukit Bintang to Frangipani. This is supposed to be the tres best French bistro in KL.

The dining room is quite chic with tables set up around a central water feature.

We both went for the three course tasting menu. Here’s a look at some of our treats. Apologies in advance for the fuzzy pics.

Our amuse bouche:

A complimentary starter. Mine was of the chicken variety.

Mr. Happy's was of the potato variety.

The first course.

For Mr. Happy: Mozzarella, zucchini, aubergine, and tomato jelly with ratatouille coulis

Crab and Prawn bisque with crab quenelles, prawns poached in beurre noisette with a trail of Italain lemon oil. This was DELICIOUS!

Second course: Truffle spiked confit pigeon ravioli with sage caper beurre noisette and "egg yolk". This was pretty rich.

Corsican brocciu stuffed beetroot ravioli with fresh and dried tomato slices in olive oil (beets are one of the only foods I-do-not-eat!)

Granite of the day

The birthday boy's main was black risotto with sauteed vegetables.

Slow roasted wagu beef. This was nice, but not as good as I was hoping. It was fatty and didn't have a lot of flavor.

Since we started off with dessert, we decided to end with dessert. Mr. Happy chose the French toast with rum raisin sauce and freshly baked apple. I was initially not excited because there was no chocolate involved in this dessert. But it won me over. It was very, very rich and very delicious. We managed to snap one out of focus pic before we gobbled it up.

Happy Birthday Mr. Happy! I love you!
