Girl Friday

Mon, 04 Jun 2007, 07:06 pm

I met up with my ex-house/flatmate and girl friend, K, and her boyfriend for lunch on Friday. Since she’d just gotten back from UK, we decided some Chinese food was in order. We ended up at Oriental Cravings @ 1U where we ordered enough food to feed a family…fried meehoon, fried rice, two types of vege, chee cheong fan and oatmeal prawns.

After not seeing each other for almost…err…3 years, it was really good to catch up! Lunch was followed by an ice kacang @ Mark’s Assam Laksa, after which, we drove from 1U all the way to Midvalley to check out some stuff at La Mer. Considering that it was the school holidays, plus part of the car park was closed for refurbishment, we were really lucky to get a parking spot, albeit a very very VERY far one.

A hungry M popped by after work in the evening. We were supposed to meet hubby at Il Divo @ 8.30pm, and since we had more than an hour to spare, we ended up vegging in front of the tv munching chocolates while watching E! Entertainment.

Dinner at Il Divo was, as usual, great! There were some slight changes in the menu, most notably, my favourite Pan Fried Jumbo prawns now comes with angel hair aglio olio! We ordered the fresh clams and beef carpaccio for starters, M ordered the seafood spaghetti for her mains and I pre-ordered the lamb shank for hubby who conveniently came over to join us just as the food arrived… I also found out (serves me right for not reading the menu thoroughly) that there’s a pasta version of the fresh clams starter dish…am definitely trying that the next time we go! As for dessert, M had a scoop of cafe latte ice-cream while Vincenzo kindly let me sample a new, not-on-the-menu-yet, dessert…semi-freddo! It was gooooood…
