hooker heels and good food = lots of fun

on my first day back i had dinner with Ave and Farah at the oh-so-glamourous Golden Mile Food Complex because Farah suggested we try this Indian stall that she has been patronising since she was a kid. prior to the outing she and i had this conversation:

Me: "so what food do they sell?"
Farah: "oh Indian lor... south rather than north. they have everything there."
Me: "OOOoOoOoO i feel like having fish head curry! do they have that?"
Farah: "errrr... no."

so apparently the best stall in the row of 4 is #01-13's (the ORIGINAL one) although all of the stalls are owned by the same family - the grandfather, father and 2 sons. according to Farah, they are all next to each other to monopolise the market because not many people know they are owned by the same family.

Farah: "i have to warn you that everything at this stall is red."
Me: "oh, should i be alarmed?"
Farah: "no lah... it's really nice food."
when Ave's Soup Kambing (mutton soup) arrives...
Me: "eh! that's not red! you said everything they cook is red!"
Farah: "no lah! soup kambing isnt red!"
Ave: "if my soup kambing is red, I would be alarmed!"

anyway, Ave had the Soup Kambing, Farah had Mutton Chop (background) and i had Mee Goreng! mmmmmm...
we were stuffed after our food and loads of sugar cane juice with lemon so we took a walk down North Bridge Road. a certain someone was wearing bright pink and black stilettoes and kept getting looks from weird men along the way... which led to a whole spew of hooker jokes... especially since we passed a lot of shady KTV lounges along the way. we chanced upon a new eatery just before Golden Landmark Hotel, right across Sultan Mosque. it's a Lebanese place called Baladi which looked inviting with their vibrant decor. however, Ave did notice that the rugs hanging from the ceiling were from IKEA and for a while it made her feel weird knowing that because she had a rug like that and it was always filthy...

i think we actually sat there for a really long time savouring our dessert/drinks, lounging on their huge sofa and chatting about anything and everything.
Ave ordered a Freeze (or something like that) thinking it was a milkshake made with strawberries and ice cream but it was actually an ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce AND whipped cream... OooOOooO... Farah ordered a mint tea which she gave the thumbs up to for being very refreshingwhile i had a Lebanese coffee which tasted nice and strong (quite like Turkish coffee) and had a hint of some spice in it that i still cant figure out...

we had a fantastic evening and as the last customers to leave the place at 10.30pm, were wished warm goodnights by all the members of staff! :) it's a nice place to chill (plus isnt crowded) so it is definitely a place for keeps!
