Pete's Place

My bouquet of flowers from my dear hubby. They are so beautiful. Every day is Valentine's day if we see the graces in life with family and friends. 

Yearly on Valentine's day, we make a point to celebrate dinner taking into consideration the cost. We were lucky to chance upon Pete's Place at Hyatt Hotel when we had lunch earlier in January. We saw the Valentine's day menu and made a reservation for dinner. We both agreed this has to be one of the best value for money dinner to celebrate Valentine's day. 

On 14 February 2022, we headed down to Pete's place. Our reservation which was initially made at 730pm was shifted to 815pm as Anthony had to rush down to collect the flowers after work and our travelling journey to Hyatt. We actually saw 2 couples walking out of the place while we quietly stepped into Pete's Place for our late dinner. The staff were friendly and they gave us two glasses of Prosecco once we were seated. We had ordered the Valentine's Day dinner which was a 5-course sharing meals. They comprised of Aperitivo, Antipasto, Primo, Secondo and Dolco - the Italian style. The dishes were served immediately.

Sfincione - Plum tomato sauce, onion, anchovy, pecorino cheese

Appetizers

Prosciutto e Melon - parma ham and cantaloupe melon. The melon was very sweet and the parma ham reminded us of our meal in Spain.

Burrata Cheese & Tomato Pesto. From a far, it looked as though this was an egg white dish. We shared the burrata cheese - simply delicious. If you are not a fan of of tomatoes, these tomatoes will just make you change your mind - juicy. Take the cheese with sfincione and experience this unique taste. 

Calamari Fritti  where we squeezed the lemon onto the calamari and mixed with the Tartar sauce. We were fascinated with the pickle zucchini which gave a refreshing taste.

Usually when having Italian style, there will be Primo and Secondo dishes - however as we were late, they served us all three dishes. We were surprised at the generous portions. 

 Primo - Spaghetti all'Aragosta comprising lobster and saffron plum tomato sauce

Secondo : Seabass Acqua Pazza. Fish was fresh and nicely marinated. Hubby managed to debone the fish nicely.

Secondo : Sliced Australian grass-fed beef steak, rocket, balsamic, olive oil. The steak was nicely done and medium rare.

Enjoying our dinner. Very impressed and thankful with the generous portion of food especially on Valentine's Day.

After our sumptuous spread of food, our dessert was served. This has to be our highlight : Pistachio Semifreddo - Berry compote and mascarpone cream - so beautifully presented and mouth-watering. 

We had an enjoyable Valentine's Day dinner at Pete's place. Thank you for the memories. Till our next Valentine's day food adventure next year. However we will definitely be back to dine at Pete's place.
