It's a new dawn,
it's a new day,
it's a new life,
for me.
and I'm feeling good.
- Michael Bublé, "Feeling good"
New resolution: To start a food blog for posterity.
And to start it off: Valentine's Day dinner at Karma Kettle and Rhapsody (26B Dempsey Road, 64720221). Quaint, colonial English-style setting. Each table was different, with a different table-cloth, there were paintings hung on the walls, and there were all sorts of greenery, inside and outside the restaurant. Kind of reminds me of the old English mansion-type houses with the backyard looking out into a forest where you would go to visit your well-to-do European/Eurasian grandparents (if you had well-to-do European or Eurasian grandparents)
Complimentary liquor shots, melon and violet flavoured. My first time tasting flower-flavoured liquor. Sweet, and goes down very smoothly. Very light. (Apologies, we got carried away before I remembered to snap a picture)
Violet cordial ($5). With soda water. Smooth, like the violet liquor shot. Very pretty.
Nougat cordial ($5). Uber sweet, just the right thing to appeal to my sweet tooth.
Kathi Roll ($14) Appitizer. Grilled chicken rolled in prata-skin. Served with chutney and mint yoghurt sauce. Crispy, and a good start to the meal.
Across the English Channel ($16). 7 Types of mushrooms in a delicious herb sauce. Mmm mushrooms anyone? I had fun trying to identify the mushrooms. I could only name the common ones, shitake, enoki, portobello and button mushrooms. A little creamy towards the end, but it goes well with the herbed rice.
English Lavender Chicken ($17). Grilled chicken in lavender sauce. Served with cumin rice. Not too heavy, the sauce, the rice, and even the two mini potatoes at the side were aromatic.

The western-style part ("Rhapsody") also has steaks. I was dying to try the Valentine's Day special blueberry cheesecake, but alas, we were too full.
