catching ups have never been better than this =D

simply love meeting up old friends, especially really close ones. haha

met up with EILEEN GOH SI MIAN today, my greatest, closest and best-est budd. haha. spent like 1/2 an hours finding the right restaurant, having lunch and the ice cold dessert. for the rest of the time ... haha, random chats.

met her at holland V at 2pm, but both of us reached early, at 130pm, so we went around looking for a nice restaurant where we could sit and enjoy the food and ambience. so we picked Olio, a fusion cuisine restaurant. i had the Olio Laksa Spaghetti, while she had the ... Olio Camerriti Salmon Fillet with Spaghetti. mine was nice, the flavour was strong enough to excite my taste buds, and the smell lingered in my mouth even after i had my dessert. the spaghetti absorbed the 'gravy' well too, and you'd never dream that laksa and italian noodles can mix so well together. it's a 8/10 rating from me. it could have scored better if the spaghetti was a little bit more cooked; yes it's slightly undercooked, just like the way i like it, but it's still abit hard. if not, i would have given a 9; a perfect 10 if the slices of chicken were more tender, wahaha.

then we moved - dessert at The Cold Rock. we're abit 'sua ku' (lost) when we entered the small shop. it's a small sweets shop that sells icecream, where you choose your preferred flavour and mix with your chosen mix-in, then they 'pan-fry' them together on their cold plate. haha. i had a regular mocha with raspberry and nuts, which cost about $8, and eileen had ... well ... she spent $7, LOLS. nice, though the raspberry masked most of mocha aroma, the nuts blended well. i'm not a big fan of icecream, but this is a must-try, 'cause afterall ... it's what you like in your icecream! haha.

food is both our loves, so probably we'll meet up once more during her holidays to some ulu places to try out other food again. man, we chatted alot as usual, 'cause we are such best friends that we can easily share things with one another.

that's all i have to share, do try the above 2 restaurants if you're free. nice place, nice food, nice people make a beautiful day. haha
