Bertendo

recommendation from wong
dear brought me to great world city for japanese and italian fusion cuisine
about $60 for 2 person
i would say the food was excellent and cheap and affordable for every consumption
(ok, maybe not everyday)

besides the usual drinks (coffee, concentrate juices, tea), they offer wine and beer (mainly from japan)
we had salmon salad which is good but normal ($8.80)
the pasta was excellent
but tips said not to try the tomato sauce ones (which we din)
and we din try the soup base ones too
but i saw others eat them. not the wanton mee soup type. jus a little soup..

1) white sauce (aka cream sauce)


seaweed, bacon and kimchi carbonara ($15.80)the sauce is creamy but not to the extent of puking when u eat too much. the kimchi adds on a unique taste to the dish. and it kind of neutralize the creaminess (if u still think it is too creamy)

2) japanese sauce


natto, squid and shiso in Japanese sauce ($13.80)
i m a sucker for natto.. i basically love all natto dishes but i would say this blew me away. 1st impression was.. "so little?" then we were deciding whether to mix or not to mix.. before i mixed it i ate some natto (woah!! yummy) and of course squid (fresh...). then i mix and the concoction? slimy as he said. well.. if u dun eat lady's finger or eggplant, and certainly not natto, give this a miss.. else.. this dish will bring u to a higher level. i've never eaten any japanese noodle with natto (maybe only rice) and the mix with the sauce is a mus try for all slimy food lovers.

3) dessert

tiramsu ($6.80)
nothing more to say.. not the best i ate.. but the cocoa on top was not totally bitter. generally.. sweeter than usual.. yet again.. it's valentine's day!

oh!! did i say!! dear especially went home to change and gel his hair before bring me out to dinner!!
