A weekend with friends
Good food, good wine and great company, what more could you ask for for a great weekend?OK, OK so the food wasn't anything out of the ordinary and we didn't even have wine, but certainly, the company was what made the weekend a well-spent one.
Geo came down for the weekend and we spent quality time together. She brought the sunshine from Penang down South to KL! It was a haze-free Saturday and Sunday. Never have I been so happy to see the sun after more than a week of choking on air with an acrid stench of burning everytime I ventured outdoors.
If I were writing a food/restaurant review, this weekend would have certainly been the perfect one for mixing work and pleasure. And since I wasn't writing one, it was all about focusing on the pleasure of dining with good company. Hehe, how fun!!
From TGIF at the Curve, Japanese buffet at Saisaki Wisma UOA, Souled Out at Sri Hartamas, to Picollo Mondo at Midvalley and Delicious at Bangsar Village, we sampled a wide variety of food and also added some miliage to my Baby car.
I think my favourite place of all would be the Delicious Deli/Bistro/Restaurant at Bangsar which I patroned with Lisa and Lih Rui. The carrot cake we had was rich and sinfully delicious with lashings of thick cream cheese, the chicken pie was fresh and baked to perfection with a creamy, savoury filling with chunks of chicken, the hot chocolate was made with real, melted milk chocolate and the orange juice was superb- freshly squeezed with the tangy taste of real oranges with nothing of the sacharrine-loaded synthetic taste of the bottled variety, which I detest.
The ambiance of the place was fantastic too. The decor was artistic-modern, with lots of glass, mirrored walls and comfortable cushions. Bird cages hung from the ceiling as part of the decor and also doubled as lamps. Definitely a place to visit again with friends for a cosy catch-up or idle chit chat.
After this weekend of meeting up with school and Uni friends, I can't help but reflect on how far all of them and myself have come in life. How far we've come from being nerdy school girls and 'clique-y' college students to open, confident and matured young adults with a whole life ahead of us.
Friendships have changed and deepened and perhaps what struck me as most touching was that despite what we've been through apart from each other, our personal responsibilities, personal problems and worries, each one took the trouble of spending some time showing concern and taking an interest in each others lives.
I hope that we can continue doing so for many years to come.
