Geja's Cafe

July 29, 2015

A date with cousin Eve. She suggested this place and invited me here. All I know is we are going to have cheese fondue, chocolate fondue and meat. 

First thing that comes into my mind about the meat would be the German new year style kind of grilled cheese with different type of meat. Well, let's see what Geja has to offer.

The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I just.....WOW...*speechless*. It feels so Mediterranean, so mysterious, so calm, so COOL! 

Light hanging right above our table

To my left from where I sit. This is the patio area.

The menu stated that no phones and electronic devices shall be used at the dining table. *Gulp*

I am a culprit. I have both phone and camera with me. Life of a blogger, gotta take pics yo! lol

Couldn't really take a bright, proper picture because the restaurant is filled with red lights. 

[50 shades of Grey's red room of pain] This would be Red Room of Fondue-ness 

With the help of my cousin, we turned on our phone's flashlight to take pictures. It turns out pretty well I would say.

Premier Fondue Dinners

This dinner includes salad, cheese fondue, choice of meat and ends with chocolate fondue.

Cheese Fondue

A basket of fruits: grapes, apples, two kinds of breads

with this Swiss Gruyere cheese fondue, that has brandy in it. [I'm not a brandy, whisky or rum fan, but the brandy goes perfectly well with the cheese].

Salad

Salad with Dijon vinaigrette

Prince Geja's Combination

Consists of beef tenderloin, lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, and chicken breast

Vege: onions, broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers and potatoes

Sauces: BBQ, dill, garlic aioli, flaming apricot, terriyaki, horseradish cream, Thai chili, melted butter.

My favorite? The chili. Be cautious though, you might choke from the spiciness, because that was what happened to me.

Each person would have 4 fondue sticks

With camera flash this time. Much clearer.

 The only table that keeps taking pictures. 

Much thanks to Eve for helping me. 

Chocolate Fondue

Banana, strawberries, pineapple, pound cake, rice crisp, cherries, and crumbled graham crackers

Belgian chocolate

It starts off with marshmallows roasting. The fire goes out after a minute, stir it and start digging in. Rich, irresistible dark chocolate. 

Hours of chatting with Eve, talked about everything...it's like we have known each other forever.

Mandatory picture with cousin.

Thank you for introducing me to this restaurant and also for the awesome meal.

PS: we ordered one dinner and add on $10/person. Giving the amount of food, is quite filling!

After 12 days, I'm here again!  

This time with my roommate. I know how much she's a devotee for dessert. Fondue, our favorite thing during our time in the dorm. Cafeteria would have chocolate and cheese fondues during special occasions. Definitely would not forget how we "takeaway" the leftover chocolate fondue from a Valentine's day event and made our own strawberries and bananas dipped chocolate for own our 闺蜜Valentine's day

We arrived there a quarter past 5, daylight shining in from the window, not pack with people yet

*take out camera*, shamelessly SNAP SNAP SNAP tons of pictures

We got a booth seats

With the help of phone's flashlight

Us, picture taken by our server.

Happy happy face!

Wine bottles as barriers between booths

It's not that "empty", I was too eager to cook my meat and forgot to take picture lol

PS: This time we ordered two dinners, the Prince Geja's Combination and Bonesless. So the portion are doubled. SUPER FILLING. 

Do you know fried broccoli tastes super good?
