it was originally a tete-a-tete with fy and i, but turned out lq, ss and, later on, jess were free for dinner. our initial restaurant of choice was mushroom pot. unfortunately, we got there to discover that the pot in abovementioned restaurant name referred to the steamboat pot, which meant DIY cooking so we changed our minds.
a mushroom steamboat just does not cut it. i'm a seafood gal.
ss suggested pastamania, but we were making our way there when we passed the coffee connoisseur and were game to give it a try. plus, there weren't much of a crowd then.
dinner, or any meal, at what is essentially a coffee joint is not a good idea. the food menu didn't have much range, unlike what you get in the beverage menu, there weren't any set meals either, which made everything seem expensive. cream fungi sauce made my jashparah seem a bit bland, so it was very much improved with tabasco and the wasabi aioli that came with fy's fried tofu.
jess came after dinner with an enormous green bag, apparently a door gift (more like door luggage, judging by its size) from a media event by SBS, if i had gotten facts right. SBS is very creative, or practical, for it's door luggage contained a 1kg songhe fragrant rice, a 6-pack paseo tissue, a 1l tetra pack of marigold juice, two vials of the latest ralph lauren perfume, a mini bottle of nivea moisturizer, 500ml mineral water, another bottle of those qing re water, a loaf of hi-calcium bread (terribly squashed), and i think that's about it.
like i said, door luggage.
i adjourned home to receive an email from sy,
see the rest here.

eno! it's me again. hehe you know what, the pics were sent to my colleague (sk) and when we opened and saw the first pic, we had a rude shock and she immediately closed it.
wa! the door luggage is useful in times of war. i bet jess must have painstakingly lugged the door luggage to dinner. must have made her look like she's running away from home. *shakes head* poor thang!
