I have a habit of buying Cobone deals every beginning of the month. I only buy once or twice a month and so I really choose the great ones.

Jambase deal is one of those. It was amazeballs.

We've been to Jambase few times before and it always deliver. The few times we visited the place, most ly for drinks. It's always been too late to have a meal but as always, ever decent crowd. Decent I mean, you don't hear someone getting hit on or ladies trying to earn a living by ... you know what I'm talking about. I don't mean by any chance boring. Oh, this place is soooo far from boring. Crowd's lovely, lively and pretty.

Who am I kidding? Of course my intention is to stuff my face with good food. The ambience and crowd is a bonus. So let me tell you how it all went down.

Booking was super easy. Called the number provided and booked moi and my date (my ever loving and handsome husband) a table. They informed me that we can choose which table we want to seat at once we arrive. I was also informed that the band starts at 8PM and so best to arrive around the same time to get a good seat and enjoy a meal.

Didn't understand what they meant with enjoy a meal. Of course I'll enjoy the meal... do I look like I won't enjoy any meal?!

Jambase date night came and we arrived 8-ish. We were seated at a wonderful spot where we can see the dance floor but we're out of the way from most diners and party peeps. It was empty but one couple close to us, also having a wonderful meal.

We thought, oh, aren't we excited for this dinner... but then felt better that we're not the first couple in :)

Bread basket arrived with chimichurri sauce for dipping. A gentleman attending to us explained the breads available and the ingredients of the dip. Interesting. We dove in and enjoyed a nibble or two but didn't want to eat the whole thing since we know we have big meals ahead of us.

We looked at the menu and they were all very tempting. Cobone wasn't kidding when they said we are saving more than 50%. We saved probably more than that with the feast we ordered. Hubby was very pleased. We are big meat lovers... yes I'm skinny as hell, like as if my husband's not feeding me... but
seriously I can eat a whole cow.

So the dishes that I chose from  the uber too many to pass dishes shown were:
Appetizer: Beef  Carpaccio
Main Course: Medium Rare Rib-eye Steak with mushroom pepper sauce
Dessert: Apple Crumble with vanilla ice cream

Husband chose:
Soup: Crab soup (I think that's what it is... I was too busy dreaming about my choices)
Main Course: Medium Well T-bone Steak
Dessert: Cheesecakes... yes with an s because they were 3 mini ones... sad I wasn't able to partake in those heavenly concoction because for some weird reason, my tummy decided to take a break.

We had Cabernet Merlot with our meal since we love reds and for some reason it was also discounted. It could easily be a marketing and sales ploy but we really couldn't care less... we planned to enjoy the night and so we did.

I only like 3 places for Carpaccio in this place so far. I've been here more than a decade. One is La Moda by Radisson Blu which lucky for me has a branch in Dubai Media City, the other one is Splendido of Ritz Carlton and Vice Versa, a hidden treasure in Sheikh Zayed. The rest were a sad excuse for a Carpaccio

Let's just say, Jambase's one is competing with Splendido. It was rare. Paper thin. Cajun crusted. Fresh Roccas in the middle. Freshly shaved good quality Parmegiano Regiano. It was foodgasm. My passion for Carpaccio is beyond words, I'm afraid. I can literally cry when I find a great tasting carpaccio. Jambase's one was soooo good, it was an orchestra singing "hallelujah!"

Hubby's soup seemed ho-hum to him, he said it was interesting, unusual, I tasted a bit of it, hoping not to spoil my appetizer and I say it tasted like cream crab. Not sure why it seems it didn't meet his expectation, tasted pretty good to me.

Then the main course arrived. We were given a choice to take 150 grams or 300 grams of steak... but of course we took the 300 grams. Who cares if I was wearing a bodycon dress. I prolly look pregnant when I stood up to dance but I was too happy to care.

I ordered mine medium rare and hubby chose medium well. What can I say, I am not the least squeamish when it comes to my almost rare meats.

As you can see... we didn't like it much. :)

The desserts came and we were full to the brim but I'll be darn not to enjoy it's glory. I am a self declared glutton. Warning... it's hell hot. I burned my tongue trying to savour the sauce that is just sooo delicious, makes me want to bake another apple pie. In my head, it's okay if it's piping hot since I have vanilla ice cream on the spoon.... wrong! Was it worth it... oh yes!

Hubby's only comment was... wish they fill the other half of the plate with something... so it doesn't look so empty...well glutton marries a glutton.

We dance the night away. The band was great and the crowd were amazing. Food was super excellent and as if that's not enough, management cordoned our area, we definitely felt super mega VIP. We're able to leave our table and belongings knowing it'll be there when we come back.

Oh and by the way, finally understood what they meant "so you can enjoy your meal". The first set of the band, they played jazz along with our dinner, everthing was mellow and hubby and I was able to chat and joke about stuff (which we love to do). Later part of the evening, partygoers arrive and yes, the whole place was buzzing, we'll have to scream to talk. So come at 8 and have a proper beautiful meal.

Our date night was definitely a success!

My whole family loves to eat, in, out, it doesn't matter... love it even more when it's a gift and that's exactly what we got... a seafood and Japanese buffet dinner for two!

We love, love, love it.

Our booking was initially at 7PM but we had to move it to 8PM due to time constraint and distance... even arrived 30 minutes late... so we're really bad... we're thinking we're probably going to be turned away for being late... in my head I thought... oh well... darn but what can one do?

A little embarrassed, we informed the reception that we have a booking and we'd prefer to sit outside since the weather was amazing. We only waited a little over three minutes and we were showed to our table.

On our way to our table, we're amazed by the spread of food. It was exciting, I was salivating way before we started digging into our plates.

It's always been a habit to literally survey the stations before diving in. When the attack plot was finalized... I went straight to the salad bar... there's so much to choose from but I zoom into, open mussels, cocktail shrimp, calamari salad, smoked salmon and capers, crabmeat sampler and edamame. They're all to-die for. I am definitely going to re-hash the calamari salad just because it's too good to ever forget!

Hubby's first prey were unsuspicious shrimp tempura... OMG, the batter was scrumptuously light and shrimps felt and tasted super fresh. Hubby fell in love so much that he went back to the station and took every single tempura on the serving plate.... no kidding. It's alright, serving plates are replenished all the time... it's like the robbery didn't happen at all. We helped him finish his loot though. Sorry, we are unashamed. We love food that much!

His next stop was the BBQ station. He chose his next preys from the fresh station, choosing mussels and prawns for BBQ was a really good choice. There were chicken and beef but seriously? It's like going to an Italian restaurant and ordering hamburger... it's just not right to be unfaithful to seafood night.

We started at 8 and finished at 11 PM. Never happened in the history when we actually stayed until closing. We didn't mean to. We did joke about it thinking that's absurd and we had so much fun munching and stuffing our face that we didn't realize the time.

How will we ever notice the time when there's a free flowing house alcoholic beverages? It's really amazing.

The dessert station is so mesmerizing that I feel a little upset with myself for not reserving a bigger space. What a shame!

Definitely will be coming back! With or without promotion... Yum-my!
