Of Ponies, Kway Chap & Menotti

I had a great time with John tonight. We were having one of our usual meet ups after a long while type thing, and I was a little late. By the time I arrived at Raffles City, he was already at the bed linen section of Robinsons. Now, I have always found it slightly weird for two guys to be together at the bed linen section of any departmental store. The salespeople just tend to stare and whisper a lot...but then again, I don't really care...at some strange level, the attention is sorta nice. Wahaha.

So I reach the wagons where there were many designs of bed linen on sale, and spot John almost immediately. He was fawning over this particular design with ponies on them (the packaging actually said 'Trojan Horses' but the idiot insisted on calling them ponies), where the ponies came in many different designs. There were rainbows one, grassy ones, ones that looked like sheep...well, you get the idea....I think. So John goes on and on about how the ponies are so pretty and cute, and how he wants to get them for his room in Newcastle and I sorta joined in the fun and talked really loudly about how I hated the ponies and the banter between us (I'm sure) scared the sales boy a little. He probably has never seen two guys talk so much about bed linen...wahaha..

All that fun over and done with (Mr Siow spent $100+ on the bed linen..sheesh), we headed to get some hawker food cos' he's leaving and I think he wanted to stock on local Singaporean food before he leaves for about a year or so. We had Kway Chap and a side of roasted duck meat too. Shiok lah... it was the stall near Bugis. Not too bad...only spent $11.70 between the two of us.

After that, we head down to Menotti's for drinks and dessert because I'd never been there before (to the horror of Mr John Siow). According to him (or his expression at least), my not having been there was apparently quite blasphemous. Ah well, I totally fell in love with the place. We had hot chocolate, lemon meringue tart thingy, and this mousse thingy called Canolli. Freaking good sia...everything was exceptionally yummy. I know the desserts all go for half price after 9pm, so all of you reading this, get ready for invitations to join me at this splendid place soon yeah?

To John: I had a great time tonight. Please take care when you are over there, and don't forget what we talked about yeah? You will be fine, more than fine. Gambatte ne!
