ydae was q funn! its friday. HUR. favouritest day of the week. get to relax after class. hahas. had engagin discussion during pol class. thn i was played out by bondue. GRRS sup to run for runabout. in the end..some irritating staff refuse to run. end up forfeit the team away.well done laaa. so i brot all my stuff for nth. thn i went for know-thy-major talk instead. omg the QF talk was like uberly hypnotising. so was the marketing one. expected much more from the marketing talk. OH WELL. i really wanna major in marketing. but the prospects in Singapore seem grim. its just hard to be a rung higher than others when all of you major in a general marketing degree. oh well. prolly go back hk to look for jobs instead. (: aight aight. after the talk. sup to meet yolkie dear. but she was still home. so hung arnd ice cold w yiwei & dah wakeboarders. jabriel was there too! haha always feel happy to see him. cos he REALLY resemble my brudder. & i dont see my brudder often. sooo i guess its like seeing my real brudder. (: thn they were so hilarious. hur hurs. the tap bottle thingy was like out of hand la. LITERALLY. aight aight. got down to bugis. yolkies bot a sweet lil ring for leen! so cute. thn we headed off to funan.
we were meeting ivan, daffy, colin & weylin at cafe del amigo. this french and continental bistro. opened by a jolly good mister called TOMMY!he s always smiley and happy. he & his wife oversee the operations of this restaurant to the finest details of serving regular customers. really impressed by their efforts. this place started in the 70s at the now non-existent Marco Polo Hotel in Tanglin, before moving to Orchard Specialist Centre. and now they moved to Funan the IT mall. its tucked away 2 shops down from Surf 'N' Turf on the 2nd level. (:
ivan was there first, followed by us, and the rest subsequently joined. the menu of the restaurant, interestingly, is just a paper booklet. really got the old school western restaurant kinda vibe eh. then they ve this BYO wine policy. where there s free corkage of wines! yumms. besides that, they ve got a hugggeeee range of reds & whites. dont ask me, im not an expert in wines. but coming from an amateur's point of view, i tink they do give customers a wideee range of wines to choose from. Tommy was nice enough to tell us about the wine that ivan bot for the table and it tasted great! i shant attempt to analyze the wine. but thanks ivan for the pours! (:
finally, Tommy's wife came by to take our orders. weylin & ivan ordered the wagyu beef that Tommy offered us in place of the Argentinian Beef we were originally there for. (sad but trueee. the AVA banned its entry. GRRS) weylin also ordered the breaded cheese. colin ordered the oxtail plus lobster brosque (which they re famous for by the way). thn i wanted sth light.so i went for the leng fish fillet. yolks ordered pork chop and daffy ordered the pork ribs with spags. (: on top of that, ivan ordered a side of fries. their fries came first. it tasted really different from the fries we get from macs! its like crispier but it is still soft inside. delicious.
my leng fish fillet was nice!! it had almond flakes with freshly cut pieces of tomato. the sauce is a slightly dilled butter sauce and the fish is lightly seared. the vegg on the sides were alright. but the fish s really fresh and good. the portion was just right for me too. but if it was for a guy, it may be a teeny wee small.
yolks porkchop looked good too! she gave it thumbs up. but she regretted not ordering the pork ribs spags. cos daff's dish really looked yummy. over dinner, we talked alot.about the different kinds of experiences we had overseas, with food, cooking, baking, all sorts, really interesting to hear stories of others' lives. (: & i really appreciate the fact that i got a chance to know these people. really wonderful people. yarp! thanks to all of u last night. i enjoyed myself.
to end off the meal on a sweet note, ivan had for us the icecream PX. omg. first time tryin that. its basically vanilla ice cream in PX wine. its really goood! like the combinations of sweetness from the 2 seemingly separate components was exceptionally surprising. i ll definitely go back for more.sadly..their oven was down and they didnt sell the apple tart they re famous for. AHHH oh wells. shall come back for their desserts next time (: we stayed there to talk on & on. only me yolks daffy and ivan stayed on to tok. enjoyed their company tonnes. ks. thn Tommy's wife came by again. & offered a delectable spread of cheeses & crackers!! really nice of her. there was blue cheese, brie, and this buttery taste-like cheese. really yummy.
after dinner, we finally lugged our heavy tummies to timbre!! (: met leens & we listened to timmys play!! (: what a wonderful day. beams
