My 1st Foie Gras

so a couple of nights ago jj n i went to pressroom in bsc whr my sister works. she wanted to treat us to dinner for organizing my nieces bday party.
i was really xcited coz i was gonna taste foie gras for the 1st time! im a avid food lover so to not have tasted foie gras before is really an embarrasment.

on the said day, i had too much time on my hands while waiting for jj to wake up from his nap n come pick me up so i went a lil overboard with the eye make up.

i hardly dress up to go out in public nowadays, so for me to put on full make up was really sumtin.

kak in suggested a few dishes she thought we might like but i had my heart set on the foie gras with seared apple for my appetiser, she suggested i get the fish for my main n i obliged.

jj had the king prawns (of which i eventually had half of) for starters n fettucini with shredded duck and mushrooms.

wen my foie gras came my face was glowing with xcitement! n den the camera broke down on us. a few slaps and throws later (kidding :p) it was ok agn bt i had wasted too many precious mins letting it go cold i had to dive in (hence the poor quality photos)!

and my face scrunched up wen i did. like eeew? ok im a pretty adventerous eater. in fact id eat pretty much anything u throw in front of me bt this just made me nauseous.

the texture was that of pure fat, u know the white kind u find on beef? and the taste was, well it tasted exactly like wat it was, fatty duck liver but it tasted so gamey. it didnt have that rich livery taste which i love! it was fatty liver.. literally..

i love fat! i eat spoonfulls of butter while watching tv (i kid u not)! i rarely trim my meat and i really like fatty greasy chicken skin.

but this was a whole new league of eeww.

it spoiled my appetite for the rest of the night. which was a shame coz the fish was quite good tho i prefered his pasta over it n dessert was awesome-

but we forgot to take pictures cos we were so full we requested for only 1 dessert to share, and ended up fighting over it. seriously sharing food w jj is a nightmare, he's like a hungry lion all d time its scary.

i love my sister very much and she's a wonderful chef, but kak in, nx time we go la bodega ok? she handles both restaurants and i tink la bodega is much much kinder to the palate, not to mention the wallet.

Good butter = happy Janna
