Day out with FMQ & Ray

Foodie FMQ recommended a place where we can go for Sunday brunch. Located at Parco Millenia Walk. I had a tough time locating this tuck-away eatery with a misleading name.
The concept is of an imaginary hotel in Paris' 8th district with a simple yet tasteful interior, strewn with antique furniture and comfortable lighting.

On top of being a restaurant, there are also small gift items, accessories and fashion apparel and bags for sale.

Playing around with FMQ's SLR. Indeed the pics look more pro than those taken by "dent dent"

Here comes the food. Ice tea and Beef curry rice. Notice how the images are blurry round the edges but sharp and in focus around the center? I dun remember achieving this effect with "dent dent"

This was avocado and smoked salmon sandwich shared by FMQ and Blamer. Saving some room for desserts.

Looks pretty yummy right? I think this was pancakes served with forest berries and vanilla bean ice-cream.

Pictures of the ladies taken by me. Really love the way the SLR went "ker-chic" when I took the shot.

Blamer on the other hand took a blurry pic of me and Ray. Looks like she was focusing the background instead.

Orta Hotel. Overall, I like the decor and ambience. Food wise was just average fair. Great place for some catch up with friends if food is not the main focus.

And so Ray and I proposed we go for another round of food at Ootoya

Adventurous me decided to try out their raw blue fin tuna marinated in soy sauce.

Eww.. too salty...

Ray went for their Ootoya special set.

Since the blue fin tuna is an appetizer, it was not enuf to satisfy me. Ordered their cold soba which was served plain other than the dipping sauce. Refreshing to the palate. I enjoyed slurping up the soba and sinking my teeth into the chewy noodles.

And girls will always be girls. They were only interested in the desserts. Couldn't go wrong with Japanese desserts.
