Italian on Sixth..17 October 2009

Me and Irene went for fine dining at Italian on Sixth because it was a holiday (Deepavali)

Read what the Expat says:
Date : Saturday, 17th October 2009Time : 7pm to around 10.30pmThe Event : Sit down dinnerAddress : Sixth Floor Pavilion KL, Jalan Bukit Bintang
It is no surprise that Pavilion KL??s sixth floor International dining options are a popular pick among the expat community. In conjunction with the Expat Expo, we will be hosting our Expo Wine Dinner at Italian on Sixth.
Most evenings Italian on Sixth is packed with a large number of expats and regulars. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the food excellent! The comfortable setting on the sixth floor makes this a wonderful outing for couples, business associates, friends and families. From a veritable spread of high quality dining to the exciting happy hour specials, Italian on Sixth is truly exceptional and has something for everyone.
Join us for a whole dining experience and make it a complete evening out on the town!

Yep! I made it a complete evening out on the town! Only thing missing was loving hubby on my arm!!!

Irene tried to mingle with the expats but they thought she was only 16!!

And people thought she is my daughter......

We were given flutes of sparkling on arrival
