Iggy’s at the The Regent on 5 Feb.
A peek into how the boy and I pre- celebrated my 21st.
________________

Apparently when one is fed with delicacy,
one enjoys the meal better.

Say we lay items like caviar, foie gras, truffle on the table,
nicely prepared in a platter.

Hmm, I’d say I’m craving for some now.

How unfortunate is that, I din exactly enjoy the session that evening.

Iggy's

Iggy’s has been a must-visit restaurant in both the boy’s and my list
since our past, fine-dine experience at four-seasons.

This restaurant is always featured in many restaurant guides,
made its way into the world’s top 100 fine-dine establishments
and most importantly,
is renowned for its excellent service.

That evening when the boy picked me up from my place,
I was already feeling ill.

By the time we step foot into Regent,
I had fallen ill and was having a terrible tappy-alike nose.

Usually constant sneezing would be greeted with hostile expressions.

However, given my constant sneezing
the wait staff paid more attention to our table instead.

He delivered a box of tissue to me.

Offered to get me warm water, subsequently,
seeing that the warm water was not taking effect,
offered me honey lemon.

Delivered panadol tablets to me.

Then, seeing that I was skipping my dishes,
offered to make me an additional dish (out-of-the-menu)
to boost my appetite.

Additional to that, the restaurant also prepared a BD cake
for me upon instructions from the boy.

I must comment that this is one of the best-service
we've received from a reputable hotel so far.

I would think that if all the service sectors train and empower their staff to
"go-the-extra-mile" for their customers,
Singapore would see a great boost in all its service-related businesses.

Like they say, the human touch is what makes the differences.

Truffle with yolk.

Doesn't look fantastic but sure tastes better than it looks.

My honey lemon mixture.

I skipped this, along with most of the following items.

All these black bits are actually caviar.

Unfortunately, my taste buds weren't cooperating that day.

This was the extra serving that the staff got me after seeing that I skipped my dishes.

These were dessert items, so I had to eat it.

The cake!

Lastly, I vomited right after my dessert.
This makes a valid reason for us to re-visit Iggy’s again when I feel healthy.

Right now it’s INTENSE REVISON for my prelims are just days away!

I need more motivation...
