Crazy Friday

Went to Ah Yat Abalone at Allson Hotel yesterday... selected the cheapest set meal which comes at a "modest" price of $60++ for myself... total bill at the end of the day for 5 of us = around $484... well... it was more for the experience coz this is not the kind of meal one like me can afford often... we all felt it's not really worth the price... we weren't even full at the end of the meal...

The abalone wasn't spectacular, it's small and in fact, I tot it tasted like the mushroom that was served along with it (the texture was similar & becoz abalone by itself has no taste, depends entirely on the sauce which the mushroom was covered in as well)... the buddha-jump-over-the-wall fell below expectations coz when served, it looked a far fetch from the picture in the menu... there's a fried fish fillet which tasted a tad too salty... the dessert 杨枝甘露 (well u can find better tasting ones at those dessert shops)...

Ok... overall I'm not saying it's bad... maybe our expectations were too high coz of its reputation... maybe we just duno how to appreciate abalone... but our verdict is that it's not value-for-money... well one good thing is that they give a $50 voucher for every $200 spent so we got a $100 voucher at the end of the day... but i doubt we'll be returning anytime soon...

After dinner, it's time for cheonging... well wat am i expecting when i'm out with a group of cheongsters on a Friday nite... we 1st took a slow walk to clark quay where we had beer at Brewerks... had a Tower of Golden Ale & buffalo wings... pls pls pls... dun ever order the buffalo wings at Brewerks... it's the worst we ever ate... it actually tasted so sour we tot it's spoilt... we even asked the waiter to confirm if it's supposed to taste tat way... my frenz loved the Golden Ale but it's too whimsy for some (bunch of 酒鬼s)... I'm not an alcohol guy so no comments on the beer... Brewerks closed at 1am which was way TOO early for cheongsters... plus my frenz haven't quenched their 酒瘾... so onto next spot...

Went to tis place called eM at Gallery Hotel... second round of drinks... we're all abit high at tis point in time... so time for some crazy antics... started posing & taking photos in all sorts of flirting, seducing, compromising positions... dun think too far... we were not trying to re-enact the Edison Chen incident... but the photos were damn scandalous (lol!)... had a crazy fun time... we all tink that we'll regret wat we did when we recover from our high-ness the next morning... hahaha... but the photos beta dun land in the wrong hands... one gal was married, another ROM liao so dun wana cause any misunderstanding... it's all juz for plain fun, dun wana get ambushed by some jealous husband by mistake...

3am... even eM closing liao... so we got "driven away" again... we were so high at tis point that we actually thinking of going KTV to continue our crazy fun... but one gal dun like to sing, one guy gtg 拜年next mornie, I 老人家felt like sleeping liao... so in the end nv go... finally 打道回府...

We agreed to go for our planned KTV next Friday... expect lots more of crazy Friday nitez to come... gosh... I suddenly feel so young again...
