After doing some shopping in Hamilton town, Bermuda, we headed back home to chill for a bit before getting ready to dinner at Bistro J with Jose and Jian. I thought the walkway looked really cool and would be nice for some photos but Laughton's camera did not seem to give me the effect that I expected. Or maybe it was his photo taking skills. He needs to learn. Haha I hope he is not reading this. Anyway, can't blame him as he spends most of his time with his employer or should I say the "Best Employer to work for in Bermuda" (pardon my sarcasm, I was once there too, but I guess He knows how I had been suffering and decided that the I had enough to bear with and I had never been happier ever since I left!). I really have to say I do have a lot of respect for this man, Laughton for hanging in there during these difficult times for both of us. Appreciate it!
Some photos we rushed to take as Jose had sent a text message wondering if we needed any directions. Dude, you should stay cool as we were just 5minutes late and this is considered way too early by Bermudian standard! :) It was great to catch up since I last saw him about 3 months ago.
Jose and Jian.
One without the glasses.
Me and Laughton.
Our drink, we had a glass of Prosecco each (me and Laughton), an Italian wine which is generally sweetish.
Laughton ordered the Mushroom Cream Puff Pastry Tartlet for his starter and I just pinched from him a little and some mussels from Jian. Taste was okay, creamy mushroom with some rocket salad. The pastry was pretty decent too, being quite fluffy.
We all ordered the New York Strip Steak, Mash Potato, Mushroom and Onion Sauce for our mains and I had ordered medium but I think I got mine a bit too cooked towards well done. I like the sauce and the mash was good too, would have been better if it came slightly more pink. Laughton had the same problem too, he ordered rare and got it medium. Just wondered if they can get it perfectly right just like those we had in Peter Luger's in New York. The best timing, regardless of the number of orders lining up.
Jose and Jian's dessert. Double scoop of vanilla ice-cream served on an ice bowl. He was well impressed by the presentation. He did not say much about the ice-cream though hehe.

Laughton had this moist chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream which I shared with him. It was pretty good.

wow.. the pictures alone makes me salivating now! i am craving steaks now..
Nothing beats the Peter Luger's steaks which we had in New York twice. That Peter Luger's was like the bes steakhouse in NY for 24 or 25 years running!
I am sure you can make a tastier steak than this! :)
