10th June 2007, Sunday - New Found Friends

It was a Sunday evening when boss gave us a call to ask us out for dinner. We were about to go out to settle our own dinner anyway. But since he invited us, then we went with him instead. The picture below is the entrance of the place, where we went. The place is beautiful and very near our place. We have passed it a lot of times but never thought of going in to eat. Boss said that it is cheap to eat here.

These are the first few dishes that we ate. We ate about 7 to 8 dishes, all really nice. In the picture below, the left dish is mushrooms (My favourite is this. Don't know how they cooked it but it is really really good), the top-middle dish is a type of noodle, which I don't really know what they used to do it (but I heard melon if I'm not wrong), the right bottom one is chicken. Semi-cold chicken. Really nice. There were soup, duck stew, ngoh hiang (dad's favourite), fried tofu, salted mee suah was our last dish. Sorry if I have forgotten any. Special sauces came with almost every dishes to complement the taste. Nice combinations anyway. This meal cost us RMB 100 (S$20). I think they gave discount because when we finished eating, the place blacked-out. The generator snapped. I knew it because it snapped right in front of me. As in, I was in the angle that I can see it happened. Anyway, besides boss, we met his primary schoolmate, 阿国.

We went to boss's tea shop after dinner to try all his different kinds of teas. We tried 铁观音, which just came in yesterday and many others, which I can't remember. After staying there till about 9pm, we went to Happy Hours KTV. Yeah! More songs to sing and met another friend. She is 阿国 girlfriend, 玉儿. But she asked us to call her 阿玉. Hee. She is a really nice person to hang around with. Easily to start a communication with and sings really well too! 阿国 is really lucky!!! 阿国 and 阿玉 joked that they met downstairs at the KTV when I asked how long they have been together. They are a really cute couple with good telepathy level.

After KTV, which was 12am, we went to boss' Mahjong den to drink more tea while he settles some stuffs. Becoming a tea freak. We sat there quite a while, drinking tea, chit-chatting then we went for supper. Had seafood for supper. Not bad. We ate loads of fishes. But other than that, there were crabs (I didn't eat because it is semi-raw), small prawns (very sweet and nice to eat). Can't remember the rest. Then we headed home after a long while. But all I know, we reached home a 3:30am. Then we dozed off because we cannot take it already. Too long of a day. Still got work today.
