Max! Enjoyment - Vol. One

After going to JHP's launch, Jackson dropped Jason and I off as he couldn't join us for dinner at Max! Kitchen & Wines. Looking forward to my first dinner at Max!, I was already thinking of what to order a day before. Having heard and read so much about Max!, most of us were quite excited. Arriving at Max! for dinner, I still couldn't make up my mind. With the 14 of us, Max, the owner and chef was definitely kept busy! I took quite a number of photos from this place and decided to use Picasa (thanks Lee Ping for the tip! I decided to finally give Picasa a try and I simply love it now!) for this round of photos.

Seated on my right were Joe & Nicole, followed by Boo_licious & Splashie Boy, Bald Eagle & Lyrical Lemongrass, Nigel, Mikael aka Hunky & Paprika, Mavis, Soo Yin, Allan and finally Jason. We sat at the long table (the upper left corner of the photo above) and had the entire area upstairs to ourselves.

As we all waited for our food, conversations were criss crossing across the long table on various topics by different people to different people. Laughter bursting at irregular intervals in different section of the long table must have got the patrons downstairs wondering which group of people were responsible for such mayhem! LOL! By the way, the bread that was served (to further keep us busy while we wait!) with olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasted great!

As we wanted to try more variety of food, Jason and I shared a starter so that would leave us room for more! We ordered the Yabbies Lobster with sauteed avocado, garden chive and white balsamic (RM35). The meat was well infused with all the flavours and we really enjoyed this dish.

Of course, with a group of floggers around, the usual food paparazzi struck again! As we had different orders across the table, we went around snapping pics of each other's food! Soo Yin had the Charred Porto Bello Mushroom with crispy okra & fresh greens (RM22)

This was Allan's U.S. Sea Scallops with mojama and red & yellow capsicum salsa (RM35). Nigel asked Allan how come he didn't get to have a bite of it and Allan replied it was just too good to be shared! Ha ha ha....

This was Boo_licious's (I think...?) summac flavoured yellow fin tuna loin steak from the char broiler with marinated caper berries and orange balsamic (RM45). It was somewhere at this point that we had extra lighting with the helpful hands of others and their handphones! Hence the white light, shining down like a light from heaven! Ha ha ha...
