Happy Birthday on Hubby's Birthday @ Tanzini, G-Tower Hotel

It was hubby's birthday on the last last week....we went for a nice romantic dinner at Tanzini.

* After been urged by few fellows for the updates...and now finally the write up~!

We made the appointment for 7pm. Was there about 6.50pm...we were seated to a table near the entrance...aiks....i forgot to mention to have the best view seat. Hmm now its just too late to have a change....unexpectedly all the tables is fully booked for the day...even its just a Wednesday~!

our seat in the middle of the restaurant...we are the first to be there

some warm bread with few dipping sauces is served just when we settled down

olive oil with balsamic vinegar, chili oil with flakes and tomato paste

Quickly glance through the menu and placed our order.... we went to walk around the restaurant

and balcony

the balcony...with few sofa chairs could have a cocktail drink before the dinner

a nice scenery of downtown KL...too bad it was too dusty that time due by the construction next to the tower

our waiter followed us to the balcony to take us a picture

actually he was came to invite us back to our seat cause the appetizer is already served on our table....keke

Fruity Smoked Duck

Fresh Garden Salad with Plum Tomatoes, Grapes and Raspberry Dressing

This appetizer is superb~! The handling on the duck meat is superb~! It neither have the duckie smells or oily style duck meat...

instead it was clean and chilled with very nice looking pinkish color

when i chew it in my mouth it was like melting down and then my mouth is very fresh with the grapes and raspberry aromas~~~It was the best duckie meat i had than before~!

Goose Liver Terrine

"Cotta al Torcione" served with Fig Marmalade and Toasted Brioche

Velvety smooth terrine melt in mouth

put in on the toasted bread and eat along with the marmalade~ Best!

Wild mushroom soup

with Fresh Morel, Porcini, Shiitake, Eringi in Herbed Broth scented with Truffle

Always my favorite~!

Deconstructed Tiger Prawn Bisque

Smooth and creamy thick soup....with fresh tiger prawns crunchy chew in the mouth

Intermezzo

Mouthwash with Orange Earl Grey Sherbet

and mine Passion Fruit Sherbet

And be ready for the Main Course~!

the sky is dim and light on from the buildings

modern and elegant restaurant

wine cellar near to the entrance

my glass of house pouring red wine

Both me and hubby had the same main course ~ Aged Wagyu Tenderloin

Grain Fed Wagyu Tenderloin with Truffle Mash, Jumbo Asparagus, Chanterelle & Morel Mushroom

Hmm.....it was nice until i dunno how to express it....

only few words i could think of....."hou hou sik arghhhh"

The Petite Four Dessert

Strawberries & Chocolate Mousse Cake, Fresh Strawberries with Raspberry dressing, Chocolate Mint Macaroon, and lastly Mango Panna Cotta

It was such a great idea to offer this petite four from the menu instead i have to crack head choosing my dessert of the day...since im so greedy and think to have everything at once~! haha

*****

Despite there were few bad review about Tanzini we read before we go, but i think its still the best if we could go and justify it on our own.

Tonight is quite a good surprising dinner. We came with low expectation but back home with great satisfaction.

Lastly not forget to mention....we were actually took the 5 course meal each of Rm135++ & Rm155++....

* Make sure you booked few days before your visit and remember to mention to have a nice view seat.

Guess what is this building????

Part of Vienna's cityscape ~ The Spittelau Incinerator

Its one of three thermal waste treatment plants in Vienna, artistically designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser has now became a tourist attraction. The unique and spectacular artwork represents a successful example of a harmonious symbiosis between technology, ecology and art. 

we travel along the Danube river....from Budapest and now it flown to Vienna

we had a neighborhood walk along the Danube river with breezy wind on our face

at the outskirt of vienna city...the view is so much different

quiet & peaceful

nightlife pubs and cafe on the right side...

the tall tower ~ Danauturm

Danube Tower is the tallest free-standing structure in Austria at 252 metres with 2 revolving restaurants and an observation deck. 

In summer, the observation platform will be open for bungee jumping 

too bad it still closed during our visit, else dare we to challenge our heart attack level? hehe 

i wandering...

small little light house on the left bay of the Danube river

a bridge that connects the 2 bay

*****

Next...we head back to town and we'll going for an Opera! 

 street dancing performance attract lots of attention

because their opening speech is so funny and humoring ...ya..they were speaking English

i still remember what they said...

"Hey Guys~! What's the Time Now? Yeah! Its Show Time!"

"Yeah~! Its Show Time!"

"Found a way for your hand? Rubbing chin? In the pockets? Hugging yourself? "

"Clap for us....clap with the music~!"

 We walk and search for quite sometimes looking for the opera house. It wasn't the same we went yesterday.

15 minutes strolling on the street finally we found it.

The Musikverein ~ It is the name for the famous Vienna concert hall. Built on a piece of land given by Emperor Franz Joseph. It was opened on January 6, 1870. The Musikverein is famous for its acoustics and is considered to be one of the five finest concert/opera venues in the world. 

 Our concert tonight 

We are not big fans of classical music ...but we wanna be there for an experience of life 

since its a Must-DO activities highly recommended in Vienna, Austria.

 we bought the tickets earlier thru online system, and now redeem it with our e-voucher. 

 very classy interior

 yeah! got our tickets on hand...but time is still earlier for the concert to start

we went nearby the coffee shop for refreshment

 Cappucino with the Popular Traditional Pastry in Austria ~  Apple Strudel

 its a must try when you are at Austria ~ This is absolutely delicious!

Time: 7pm

We gotta go for the opera after the tea break....when we returned to the Musikverein....the lobby hall gets very crowded....

Gentlemen have to deposit their coat or jackets to the cloak room with charges. Then we were directed to our "seat"

yeah..this is our "standing seat"

the Musikverein sold many different types of tickets, standing tickets, normal seat, balcony seat and also podium seat.

balcony seats 

and the "special" podium seat sold to the Asian

facing the crowd audience and watching the back of the performers....kinda strange

The Grand Golden Hall

warming up

have to be there early to get a good "standing" place ! 

吴宗宪 said ~ Comes' Up Some of the Music 

*notice that most of the audience are senior citizen.....

When the orchestra start, all the door is closed. If you are late for the show, please stay outside. The security will not allowed for any interruption until the break time of the performance. After every 30-45 minutes, then its a break time, you may go enter for your seat or go to the cafe for a quick snack, drink or even leaving. 

We leave the Musikverein on the 2nd break time, alamak our legs gets very tired and numb la...standing for almost 1 hour for the music. Actually we can still stay back and sit on the floor if dont mind to be wild since quite some of the people doing that too...but we remembered we have to head home and wash our cloths!!!

The Musikverein at night 

*****

Back to the hotel....i forgot what we had for dinner that night......but the main aim to reach home early is to wash our cloths...

At the lower ground floor of the apartment, there's a washing area got 1 washing machine and 1 dryer machine free usage to the occupants of the apartment. 

8.45pm - Washing Machine Occupied

9.15pm - Washing Machine Occupied

9.45pm - Washing Machine Still Occupied 

My eyes lid is getting very down....im so tired today and feel like wanna sleep immediately and forget about washing the cloths. But we had pay extra for the apartment especially for the washing machine, and also pay extra EUR10 for the early check-in!!! Die die i will wanna use it and sacrifice my sleeping hours!!!!!

10.30pm - Washing Machine Still Occupied

I dont care la...the washing machine had stopped but there were still cloths inside...i dunno what is the stage of the cleaning now...

all in foreign language which i know non of it! 

I just open the door and take out all the cloths and leave it on a rack at the other end of the washing area. 

I smell strong detergent .....guess the cloths were just at rinsing stage when i took it out...hahaha

Kinda rude...but who cares...we are leaving tomorrow early morning d...so sorry i have to do bad once in my life....hahaaha

Took out the cloths and put in our cloths.....no detergent...i put the body shampoo ...

we scared there were other people did the same to our cloths...so we kiasi-ly decided to stay there at the washing area and waited till our cloths is completely wash and clean! 

While our cloths is still washing, 11.45pm there were a groups of teenagers came to the washing area....

ops....it was their cloths that we dump at the rack...keke

they were curious why the cloths were still so wet and strong detergent...we pretend nothings happened and continue chit-chatting in our language...

just when they leave...."Buahahahaha.....Muahahahahaha" both of us laugh die on the floor for their reaction! 

We are totally awake from the laugh.....

When the cloths is done washing, we have to put it to the drying machine......

its not my first time using the drying machine...

once at Sweden at my hubby's uncle's place on our last europe trip

second time was at Melbourne my aunties's place

both time we was assisted by the aunties....

this time on our own, we really have no idea on how to operate it

simply hantam! twist twist twist until its start working...keke

Washing is fast.... it tooks only 1 hour, drying part is very time consuming, the cloths been dried in the machine for 2 hours and still partially wet.....

Its already 2.30am, both of us are getting very weak and cold sitting on the cement floor of the washing area....

Grab our cloths and back to the apartment....lay flat the cloths on the sofa, heater and let it dry ...

3,2,1 ........ZZzzzzZZzzzzz

*****

Early morning on the next day, we pack all our belongings....surprisingly those cloths we lay flat on the heater is all completely dried. Well done!

after a whole crappy night....we sleep like fainted down on the comfy train....
