Christmas, a season of joy and giving. Celebrated it many a time since I was a kid due to influence from my loving aunt, and till today I'm still celebrating it with her. Anyway, this Christmas, I made a trip up to 1Utama in Damansara, Selangor to meet her for Christmas dinner. And yeah I would say that each and every nook and cranny of the mall was grand and decorated with Christmas decor of all sorts. The carousal itself was spectacular with every shop-lot a Christmas design of it's own. Christmas songs in the air, hundreds of people jollying everywhere; it was a scene that made one stare, the spirit and beauty it was there. People from all around, taking pictures, shopping, having fun as they would, really worth it's while to be there as I could remember.
Candy snowmen!
Lovely decor!

Even my favourite Famous Amos has a say this Christmas!
Wandering about in amaze, my aunt called mii up and told that we were going to Bangsar Shopping Centre for some roasted turkey. Well, having had many of our meals in 1Utama made mii carving for something new. Hence then, Bangsar Shopping Centre it is. 15minutes away and we were there. And as one would have thought, it had it's own Christmas spirit as well. The only difference was the ambiance here was much more calm and cooler, less people on the move and the song 'Silent night' can never fail to replay over and over again in my mind. With Christmas lights lighting up the area, it really was a pleasant sight for those who loved a peaceful Christmas.
A totally different kind of Christmas in Bangsar Shopping Centre
Lighted up!
Going up a few stories and we were soon at the entrance of Twenty.One, Tables and Terrace. We got a table then but I would advice a pre-booking if you are planning on visiting during a public holiday to get the best view in the house. The menu itself was mouth-watering, and we were served poppadom at the start. And since it was Christmas, we decided to try the Christmas special 'Jingle My Bells' consisting of a 3-course set menu. But do remember this menu lasts till end of this December only. Anyway, pictures says it all then.
Great atmosphere!
A wide range of beers and wine to choose from!
Had the usual 'Sex On The Beach', opps! XD
1. The 1st course on serving! 'Santa's Little Helpers' was the name! Tiger prawns in garlic, paprika and pumpkin sauce to add to taste, dressed with red radish and watercress salad. The taste was exquisite, especially the pumpkin sauce, making this a burst of flavour once it enters your mouth!

Stuff My Stocking
3. 'Mistletoe Kisses', the last of the course to give it a sweet ending. Strawberries, cream cheese mousse, strawberry sorbet, basil leaves and chocolate crumble; everything to give you a sweet memory to take home with.

And if you think that was enough, we also got our hands on the normal daily menu. Seems that I'll really need to diet after this, but honestly, the food here was simply awesome, splendid! The texture, the appearance and the taste, I could really rate it amongst the best ever foods that I've tasted up till now. With a sip of wine to add to the taste, plus it was happy hour at that time, ordered my usual 'Sex On The Beach' and got another free! Simply my best Christmas ever!
Nachos to add to other wonderful dishes.
Spegetti Aglio Olio
Pan-fried Seabass
World Chocolate Champion from Belgium!

Sweet-tooth!
Would you believe it, it's a cake!
This as well!
So comes to an end, my Christmas celebration. It really was one that I could never forget, you don't get so much good food to taste everyday anyway. Thx to Twenty.One for giving us a memory to keep, will be visiting you soon!!!!
