Chapter 75 Awaited Dinner

KIA
As soon as we arrived, a sign proclaiming "complimentary valet parking" set the tone for a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is located in a large shopping mall in Manila, about an hour and a half drive from our house. The restaurant is located on the 18th floor and has a nice view of the open sky. We walked to the main entrance, enjoying the light breeze that carried a sweet floral scent with it. A friendly hostess approached us right away and inquired if we had a reservation for tonight. I informed her that we had arrived for a dinner reservation with my best friend Miaree. While she was calling for her, I couldn’t help but stare at the luxurious ambiance of that place, I felt like I walked into a palace.
Extremely high ceilings decorated with bright color chandeliers contributed to the unique natural light coming through mosaic color glass windows, creating a beautiful atmosphere and first impression. White flowers with silver sparkles adorn the tables as a finishing touch. To create a calm atmosphere, the lights are dimmed and classical music is played in the background. A savory aroma fills the room, making me long for the chef's fine platter. Walking through the dining room with my husband and Miaree, I noticed towering shelves at the bar filled with exclusive wines and spirits, while across from it was a serene lily pond that runs through the center of the restaurant. The pond's wet walls create mini waterfalls for romantic scenery at the booths right next to it.
