Last Saturday, my husband surprised us with an unplanned dinner outing. All of us assumed, as usual, that we would be heading to our neighbourhood tai chow restaurant. But the moment we got into the car, he casually announced that he would be taking us to a place called Mauceri. None of us had heard of it, and we had absolutely no idea where it was.
It wasn’t until we were about to arrive that we realised the restaurant is inside Khloe Hotel, a boutique hotel in Bukit Bintang. That was when it hit us — we were all dressed in our sloppy, stay-at-home clothes, perfectly fine for tai chow, but definitely not for an elegant Italian restaurant. Still, we walked into Mauceri trying our best to look confident, pretending we belonged there despite our very “at home” outfits. I consoled myself that I was at least wearing a pair of Nike shorts, Nike sneakers and a sexy bra sleeveless top 😁
Hubby ordered quite a spread: roasted beetroot salad, kale salad, linguine vongole, squash ravioli, linguine prawn, tagliolini (crab meat, lemon and butter), roast chicken and fries. For dessert, he chose a Tiramisu, and the chef surprised us with an orange granita on the house. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed each other’s company. The tagliolini was superb but the portion was really small.
Almost everyone was present for the dinner, including Alycia’s best friend. The only thing missing was Cassandra, who couldn’t join us because she was busy revising for her SPM.
