Il Tempio - My Birthday Treat

Whoops!
I've totally forgotten to update about my birthday celebration this March
At Il Tempio
Special thanks to my hubby ❤
Who brought me to this wonderful place  ^^

Il Tempio as the name suggest, is an Italian cuisine
Or should I say, Italian fine dining
It was a Saturday nite's romantic dinner that I will never forget.

The-forget-me-not-restaurant is located at Taman Tun Abdul Razak
Actually, it is located at a place called Samadhi Retreats
Where it houses 5 luxury restaurants, with Il Tempio being one of them
It takes bout 30-40min drive from PJ
And it's locate at a hilltop
Well, not really on a hilltop
But slightly uphill

So we parked at an open car park
Walked our way up the slope to the main entrance
It's kinda rocky right there
As the car park is not covered in tar
It's pure sands and rocks
So my advice: try not to wear high heels for comfort walk

The walkway down to the restaurant's filled with 'laddered-steps'
Besides, the whole stretch of walkway is filled with plants, trees and flowers
Resulting in the air so fresh that you won't even feel uneasy or impatient for the long walk!
It's as if you're walking in the nature!
Furthermore, the little candles lit along the path as well as yellow-lit-lights among the plants
Make the whole place so serene, and you could feel their warmth welcome to Il Tempio~

So down down down we went
While clicking on the camera's shutter all the way
Dear readers, do enjoy the awesome views caught on cam~ ^^

A lovely hibiscus-arch

Towards the end of the arch, as illustrated in the picture above
Here comes the lobby of the restaurant

I tell you, it is so totally love at first sight when we reached!
The deco, landscape, and the lightings
Especially the lightings!
The blue lights make the dining place Oh-So-Romantic!

❤❤❤

Can't help but to take a pic there! xD

So upon reaching the restaurant, we were served by a waitress to our table
And once again, I fell in love with the whole place
The blue lightings, that illuminate the while-nicely-set table with a soft blue hue
Makes the whole place so so ROMANTIC!!
You just can't help but to LOVE THAT PLACE!

Our table

^^

The wall behind's actually a waterfall-wall! Nice feng shui! XD

Enough about the views
Now what's more important is the food!
I tell you what
It's definitely a place worth every single penny!!
The food is so saliva-droopingly-uber Delicious!
Now let the pictures speak their million words~

The Menus

Our complimentary starter.

Our first dish: Seafood soup!
Every consumption keeps you warm from within!

Hubby 'diggin' out da lobster meat :D for me :D

On cloud nine ^^

My desired dish: Stuffed Salmon! It's a rather special dish
where the salmon is wrapped with a skin and shaped
to a round wanton! Uber Delicious!

Hubby's perfecto grilled lamb 

Nom nom nom~
It was such a scrumptious meal!
I've never tasted an Italian cuisine like this
I love everything about Il Tempio
From its unique layout to its food
It's definitely a place to recommend and I assure you,
You will definitely end up with a satiated belly! :)

*Thank you Hubby*
