Yesterday we had a company gathering after work.. this type of special occasion only arises when we have special guests visiting from abroad.. yesterday we got Adam, (who is here for two months), Nick from Blue Communications and Alisdair from our London office... so it's celebration time..
Left work at about 7.15pm.. Alan, Adam, Adrina and Paola took Daryl's car wheras me, Nic, Hong Liang went for dinner first while waiting for Cowan.. cant afford to drink on a empty stomach and knowing our bosses, they usually head straight for drinks without food..
So after dinner, we took MRT down to Raffles and walked towards Bacchus Boathouse at the Fullerton Boathouse House.. I have never been there before even though I have heard alot of good reviews on the food and especially the view... actually that was the primary reason why I decide to go in the first place.. hahaha.. we had some difficulties getting there though.. but anyway we managed to reach there at about 8pm.. and the views was really spectacular... it overlooked the Esplanade, One Fullerton, Singapore River, Boat Quay with all the tall office buildings as a backdroup.. I didnt manage to take a photo.. hahaha.. had champagne and a good chat round the table..
Then we headed through Indochine Waterfront Restaurant at Asian Civialisation Museum for food and dinner... didnt manage to get a table at the beginning so we started off with another round of drinks... I realised I am very chatty when I have some alcohol content in my stomach.. I was chatting with everyone about everything under the sky.. hahahaha... finally we got a table..even though I am not very hungry, I tucked into the food anyway..after all I dont have much chance to eat at such an expensive classy restaurant.. we had Indochine Platter and the Indochine House Salad to start off with... followed by the main course of rice, French Beef Stew Indochine Style, Cambodian Style Chilli and Basil Chicken, Cambodian Seafood in a Thick Coconut Curry and Stir Fried Kang Kong..
After dinner, it was pretty late man.. so considering that we have work the other day, we set off for home.. missing out the dessert which was Sticky Rice with Mango.. anyway not my favourite dessert (I would have gone for Bananas Fritters with Vanilla Icecream or Chocolate Fondue!!) but I would love to try it too.. Frankly speaking the food isnt nice man.. ahhahaha it is pretty normal for the price you are paying.. i would rather pay to eat at the hawker centre.. perhaps the food will taste soo much better...
Anyway me, Nic and Hong Liang shared a cab home... couldnt get a cab at Boat Quay despite it being a Thursday night.. so we walked all the way to City Hall Peninsula Plaza.. funni lei.. there got a lot of cabs wor.. how come those cab drivers never thought of going to Boat Quay?? Anyway I got home at 1am in the morning, showered, washed up and it is straight to bed.. less than 6 hours of sleep before I got to wake up this morning for work.. hahaha..
Anyway it is a good night, after all..
