Finally!
Today's my last day of work... at least for the year.
The last two weeks have been so hectic, what with end-of-the-year meetings, memos, and deadlines, and our office's super stressful annual Christmas celebration. This involved decking out our entire office space with Christmas-y things, making lanterns in the shape of a mirror ball, and me dancing badly to the tune of 70's disco tracks... on stage, in front of hundreds of people. Not a very nice Christmas memory, I tell you.
But now, this is all behind me. I'll see ya office in January! Wooohoooo!
To kick off my Christmas vacation, I had my (supposed-to-be-weekly) "bonding night" with Bernard. We wanted to eat in a quiet place (i.e., not the mall), away from all the noise and the stress that only the Christmas season brings. We decided to eat in BBQ Chicken, Pearl Drive.
See? No people, except for that Korean dude in the corner (the owner, we think). A few minutes later, though, a bunch of middle-aged Korean ladies came in, animatedly chatting and merrily eating chicken with their cold bottles of beer.
The blackboard also told us that BBQ does not mean barbecue, but just BBQ, which stands for the best of the best quality! :)
Our food:
Smoked Salad. Because the chicken tasted like smoked ham.
Spicy Chicken (8 pieces). Big serving! Sauce was more sweet than spicy, it tasted a bit like spare ribs sauce in Chinese restos. Breading was too thick, I thought, but very crunchy.
Seafood rice. It was very tasty, and Bee, who's allergic to shrimp, didn't get Angelina-lips (because his lips tend to puff up when eating shrimp, get it? Ahehe!).
Of course, Starbucks for dessert, also at Pearl. Oreo cheesecake and green tea cream frap for me.
That's it.
I'm so excited for the holidays. I've got so much to do and have to finish them all before December ends.
And oh, Happy Holidays, too, to everyone.
Cheers,
Binky
So last Sunday, I watched Camp Rock in Greenbelt.
The play finished just in time for an early dinner, and we (Ate, KB and Framie) decided to eat at Krazy Garlik in Greenbelt 5.
I noticed that the resto has an Alice in Wonderland theme to it. I'm not sure, though, what Alice has to do with Garlic? Were there any references to garlic, or garlicky meals in the book (or in the movie adaptations) that I missed?
Hehe! Anyways!
Our food:
40 Kloves Chicken (Regular/Half-a-Chicken). Meat was a bit on the dry side, but the balat was crunchy. Paired with gravy, it's quite tasty, and garlicky, indeed! :) But, were there really 40 cloves of garlic in there? Hmmmm.
Spaghetti Vongole. Just ok.
But oh the pizza!!! We loved loved loved it! :) Just mushrooms on top of gooey cheese, cheese, cheese and chewy pizza dough.
I also had to take a picture of this guy! Cute!!
I think I might go back to Krazy Garlik just for the pizza. Yay!
Then, after dinner, I passed by Fully Booked, and look who I saw. Mr. Cumberbatch and Mr. Freeman! :P I was so close to buying these! But I didn't.
Gahh! Christmas gifts for me, anyone?????
Of course, I would not miss eating dessert. Starbucks (we've been going to Starbucks a lot lately!), please. I tried the Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake (with Nestle Crunch on top). I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Too sweet, and it didn't quite go well my drink.
But chocolate is still chocolate, and my tummy was fully and happy that night.
Seeya!
