It's Monday Again

Another week has gone pass and looking back onto the previous week which was filled with a lot of headache and hangovers, it wasn't that bad after all as I had quite a balanced week. The days were filled with plenty of work while the nights were enjoyed at either Seri Pacific Hotel or Bamboo 9. 

It was last week Wednesday where we took a drive down to Seri Pacific (formerly known as Pan Pacific) to meet up with an old friend who works there for dinner at the Chinese Restaurant. The walk into the restaurant to our table was quite interesting as the hotel has been around for years but then the restaurant was still in quite good condition. Well there were flaws and preventive maintainance that could have been done to the place but still, it was acceptable by certain measures.

We were served with beers for a start as the dishes started coming in. We were served with a Double Boiled Chicken Soup with Dried Scallops for a start. It was quite ok as the flavour of the soup was quite subtle and it blended quite well with our taste. 

Next up was the main dishes which was served together. We had Stir Fried Asparagus with Sambal, Steamed Cod Fish with Supreme Soya Sauce, Black Pepper Venison and the House Speciality Prawns. 

The asparagus was a little lacking on taste as I felt the sambal for cooking this dish wasn't enough. The Cod fish had some fishy taste plus it was a little too oily for us. Even after asking them to pan fry the fish, it was still oily. The venison was quite good actually but sadly over oiled. Prawns were fresh and salty.

Overall, the food was quite decent minus the oil and salt even though I was gulping down the wines that they served. We commented on the food and it has been duly noted by the restaurant manager who happened to be a gem of a person. After listening to all of us complaint, we finally adjourned to the lobby lounge for some entertaining music and more wines.

We continued our drinking session till 1 am in the morning with me sending my friend back to his house in Jalan Gasing. We were quite blasted but somehow managed to get through a road block in his car. 

Well, I managed to get home in 1 piece without any dents, scratches or even a saman. (whew)

Anyway......that's all I have for you guys right now.....

Till my next posting,

Cheers
