Sage @ Gardens

Once again, I have to eat my words. I said that I will do this consistently and it has been FOREVER since my last post. What can I say other than that I am TERRIBLE at this! I have actually uploaded the photos quite some time ago but just NEVER get to blogging about it. Once again, I can hardly remember the meal. On the other hand, I think it is hardly worth remembering. I have never been to Sage and have always wanted to check it out because I heard rave reviews about it. In my impression, Sage is like super expensive to go and it is more of a fine dining place so I have never set foot in there, you know.....like Lafite.

An opportunity arises one day to go Sage and of course I grabbed it with both hands. Well, it was not what I expected at all. Place was rather casual, heh....or maybe it was the people who went there were rather casually dressed so at least I was feeling a little more comfortable. Pricing was not as high as I thought too as you can order their set dinners that range from RM150 to er......sorry, can't remember. Maybe RM200? Anyway, it comes with an appertiser, main and dessert...oh, and coffee or tea too. You can also order from the ala carte but I guess it is not as worthwhile as the set.

Overall, I thought dinner was only okay. It did not wow me as I thought it would.
