Straws in Beers (The Old Wellington at Manchester England)

Us three flight attendants visited this bar recently. Here's our experience in photos and words :)

We arrived to a crowd FULL OF MEN and I counted: five females. The outside patio was filled to the brim along with the carpeted inside. The selection of beer was plentiful with Peroni and ales available.

Here are the first two drinks with the two of us drinking with straws:

We took a seat outside:

The three of us had an amazing view of everyone. Lots of men and easy going people.

Here's the three of us (left one making a funny face):

The washroom had no toilet paper though at either stalls. And it was carpeted, LOL:

I heard a girl knock on my stall asking for a toilet roll and thank goodness, I had some in my bag (yes, i carry Charmin's mini roll in case of times like these).

After one beer, we left and on our way out, some gentlemen yelled for us to return. Turning around, we decided to snap a photo of them hollering:

That's it for now! WE LOVED it and will be back soon!

Maple Twist on Patio

Hi everyone :) *Waves* Some say I live in one of the sh!ttiest part of town.

But sh!tty doesn't describe the maple twist I tried two blocks from my apartment during one sunny day this week. Here's what it looks like: 

The cone wasn't too sweet. Patio consisted of rugged carpet and direction faces the shade during late afternoon. Wonderful area to read a newspaper or self help books after work. 

I noticed the cashier address many customers by name so I'm assuming they are frequent customers :) Try it! You won't regret it! 

The Art of Grapefruit Eating (March 3, 2003)

Hi everyone,

Today's entry dates back to March 3, 2003 during university. Then and now, grapefruit remains my morning fruit of choice. Here's a poem dedicated to it.

The Art of Grapefruit Eating 

Sliced in half

Two sides of healthy glowing roundness

Juicy pulp separated into triangular sections 

Leads me to great temptation

*smiling*, digging for that 'triangle'

Punctured pulp, teeth I tear. 

"Haiku".

Outback Steakhouse (the strip, Las VEGAS)

Lambchops with brocolli, mash potatoes and a full belly. On our outing to Vegas, we munched at outback after having shopped at Ross. Lets have a look at what was on my plate:

What my boyfriend's plate looked like:

With the exception of the malfunctioning elevator that brought you to the 4th floor of Outback, everything was good. There was a whiff of cheese smell passing through the restaurant at times. Glancing over to nearby tables, this could be attributed to orders of cheese fries.

Cheers!

Koon Bo: "Are you the one who ordered the Baked Sago Pudding via telephone?"

Yes, we were the ones who ordered the baked sago pudding via telephone prior to arriving at Koon Bo. After squeezing our car into a tight spot, we arrived, switched tables as we were too close to the door and clinked tea cups:

We then ordered the Peking Duck. Crunchy, savory duck skin. Mmmm...LARGE green onions and hoisin sauce. Have a look:

Here's another angle:

Next came the lettuce wraps made from the remainder of the duck. Lettuce was crispy and duck melange with crispy noodles was savory. We were full and then remembered we had 'ordered the baked sago pudding via telephone'.

Lettuce Wraps:

We didn't actually finished the wraps so off we go, taking them home. Tony and I decided to make fried rice with it for Sunday dinner. Here's a panoramic shot of that evening's clientele:

Tony, Rene and I have seen the Sago Puddings coming out of the kitchen and alas, we get ours. Tony says, "Wow, LOOK around. This thing is ordered by tables of 10 Clara! What is that anyways????

Here is the sago pudding:

View from the bowl:

You all should've smelled this thing when it came out of the oven. It was piping hot, sweet and comforting. I think I scalded my throat with this though....

And this fish says, "BYE FOR NOW!"
