Last night was a happy night. Was supposed to go for the Gummiberry cocktail (Loof’s signature dish in Sweet Charity, a program where the participating outlets will donate $5 for each signature dish ordered) with Cheng Xuan and Sammie, but Cheng Xuan ended up bringing a friend, Nat. Which was just as well, because the previous night Sammie told me to celebrate Cheng Xuan’s birthday, which is on the coming Wednesday. =D I love preparing for birthdays =D
So when duty ended at Scalebar at 4.30pm, I went down to Chinatown’s Ann Siang Street to visit that Japanese cake shop I so wanted to go called K-Ki. Their cakes were so nice. And turned out Oakham Market was really just below K-Ki, but I didn’t go in to browse seeing my budget for the month is low and I don’t really have time anyway (the cakes might melt!). Left the cakes with Loof, with instructions to the staff. Got one of the staff, Karen, to be in-charge, and she even helped me write on a card that says “Loof is psychic! We know when is your birthday…” to be placed on top of the box of the cake. But they ruined the surprise afterwards anyway by asking “so who’s birthday is it?” So yea. HAHA.
So anyway, went down to Kichn to meet them for dinner. But since I’ve never met Nat, I didn’t recognise him when he was actually already there at one of the empty tables XD I sat at another empty table wondering why he’s sitting there alone. Sammie came and we were discussing Cheng Xuan’s birthday aloud! Luckily Nat didn’t hear a thing haha.
And they were damn suay. First time Cheng Xuan and Nat were eating Kichn but everything ran out. For drinks, all the chocolaty stuff are out coz they ran out of Vanilla, and then for mains they ran out of dory, chicken roll and chop, which reduced the choice of main to only two – luncheon or meat patty for cheng xuan. And most ridiculously, for the carbo, there was only homecooked noodles left (I got my japanese rice in cream sauce because I reserved it haha). Oh, not to mention the staff forgot Cheng Xuan’s order and left the patty there for so long that it’s uneatable. We cancelled the order too because we don’t have time anymore. Such a bad impression Kichn made on them. Sigh. Nothing I say will convince them it’s good now.
We skipped the Cocotte’s Basque cake though since we were running out of time and my reservation at Loof was for 10. So we went straight to Loof and managed to surprise Cheng Xuan successfully =DDDD HAHA Feeling so accomplished. Okay, I’m too easily happy le.
So anyway, onto the Gummiberry. I don’t like the drink. The drink itself is okay lah, but why do you want to spoil the drink with the thick sweet thing on top….meringue…Don’t even know what’s that. The drink itself has a rather mild and sweet taste. Which is alright, but would be better without the cherry seeds I think? Anyway, all in all not my kind of drink. Tried to find something that’s made of rum afterwards to satisfy the inner-alcoholic in me, and ordered The Loof Life, but only to find that it’s ice-blended =( Oh well.
But all in all last night was so fun. Haven’t been able to let myself go and have fun like that in such a long time. =P I think this relationship with kinwai really helped me learn a lot, and gave me a chance to rediscover myself. This really feels great. Not sure how to explain it. I hope I’ll remember this feeling for life man haha.
Can’t wait for ning to come back. Sammie was saying if we recruit new members like that (like Nat) and start going out in bigger and more random groups, ning will have many instant friends when she comes back! Imagine how it’d be like if we get all the “new members” to go welcome her at the airport XDDDDDD A whole row of strange new friends~~~~ LOL.
And boo, I forgot to take photos the whole night for Ning. At Loof I tried, but it was too dark. My handphone is chui. =X
OH AND IN OTHER NEWS, cheryl is sponsoring me for a make up course for me to accompany her and as a late birthday present. HAPPY =DDDD I just hope I’m free that day. haven’t check =X
