We reached there around 1150am and Jamie's only operates at 12pm and gosh...the queue was already at the Starbuck's entrance..
Heard from Yun that the branch in Perth is always jam packed too, just that they have 2 queue systems; one is for geting Q number the other is to be in the queue to get in. Basically, one has to queue at least twice just to get into Jamie's =D Wow, that really raised my eyebrows as I had just completed my logistics short course. During which, we had to do a simulation study on queue system to identify the "stoppages" so as to improve one's efficiency. Okay, enough of that, lets get more into the interior & foodie of Jamie's. =D
Well it was a kinda black theme restaurant with freshly made spaghetti which we can see a small crew of Jamie's making that at the right side of the restaurant. We got into Jamie at around 1245pm but was told we still need to wait for maybe a 45 minutes. Hence, while we had our contact in the waiting list, we went into the small bar counter for some snacks and drinks. It is such a smart business tactic Jamie's has, as this greatly reduce one's frustration for having to wait and while time aimlessly away. Here's what we ordered at bar counter: Almafi Lemon & Basil Tea (in jug) : $15 & the Posh Fries (with truffle oil & thinly shredded cheese ($7.50). Oh our goodness, we simply love that posh fries to bits.. As for that Almafi Lemon tea, I will say that's a disappointment as the basil taste is too overwhelming
Bestie's holding the jug of tea & we insisted that she should buy this jug & prepare us sangria for us in her new house but we have to wait for a few more years laa=P
The Posh fries.. Yummss
The Key to our Open Tab =D
Let's go further into the mains =P Slurps =DDidnt I mentioned before that I love Ravioli, and gosh I really love this wild mushroom ravioli ($16) =D
Its just too tastefully done with the great minced meat in ravioli and wild mushrooms and some grains. You gonna have to taste it yourself if you are there=D
Yun's Black Angel ($16) Squid ink spaghetti with seafood. Bestie says this is Al Dente to the Italian's standard but hmm, I feel other wise. Personally, I feel it is a bit hard but overall, still not bad =D
Bestie's Seafood Bucatini ($29.50) What's interesting is the texture of this noodles as this has a hollow hole in the pasta itself. In layman's term, this is slightly thicker than the japanese udon noodle and with this freshly made pasta with a hole within can actually hold up more yummy sauce from the goodness of the seafood. Definitely, a thumb's up for this creative dish =D
Lastly, this is G's Fish in a bag ($28) Thanks G for sharing some fish too, I definitely will like to order this on my next visit. The fish is awesomely fresh, served piping hot and the slight spicy taste that was added to this dish definitely is a bonus.
Oh, and not forgetting to introduce Proseeco which bestie says this is actually a kinda champagne from Italy and there I was lamenting why didnt she tell me so that I can grabbed some from Italy ( at least to drink to my heart's content there) =P Well, nothing's ever too late. Well, we had this Trevisco Proseeco which is deemed as light & dry (11%) -$60. Yun does not really like her wine with the sparkling element and ehem.. that means I had a little more for my portion =P heez =P I am always a happy gal when it comes to having some little alcohol.. muahaha .. On the side note, I do look forward to Yun's house.. as she had just bought 11 bottles of wine from Perth, Swan Valley ( if Im not wrong.. heart's skipping a little at the thought of it) .. Woots =D
Ending post with our polaroid's shots from Yun's new toy and some cupcakes from G's treat. Fabulously and tastefully done. Peeps, can check out Lola's =D We tried the Nutella (forgot the other flavour)- cos the nutella flavored is much more preferred to my personal opinion =P
