Pete's Place

Met up with PY, ZS and Dee on Sat for brunch at Pete's Place. Ok, it was supposed to be lunch since we agreed to meet at 1130am. However, I slept till 1030 am before waking up with a start. Then began the Mad-Rush-To-Get-Out-Of-House. In 30 mins, I flew out of the house. Not bad, though I was still late. *pat on back*

Dee wanted our opinion if she should wear the 'buffet dress' she bought from CK while in Bangkok (I was the devil's advocate...hee hee) to a wedding. I was trying to convince her and PY to go and buy something Indian to wear to weddings. PY almost rolled her eyes out of its sockets *=p*

PY related a horror story about Intercontinental, where at a wedding she attended 2 weeks ago, they served the guests chocolates which had insects flying out of it. *yucks!!!*

ZS remarked that it was strange to call it 'Pete's Place' since to the best of her knowledge, 'Pete' is not an Italian name. (That is so ZS, smile)

ZS and I made PY try all the various veg to find which leaf was nutty and which was bitter, cos we could not id the rocket leaves. *hee hee* Then we played around with the bread to try the butter. They had unsalted, herb and sun-dried tomato butter.

If all goes well, just possibly, we may go on a holiday together at the end of the year. *keeping fingers xxx*

And I so so so do not believe this. They did not serve a single ounce of chocolate for dessert. sob sob ...I dont know about you, but to me, desserts are meant to be sweet. At the very least, you give your diners a choice of either sweet or sour desserts. Not a choice between sour raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue!!! Thank god for the strawberries and grapes. This is perhaps the proverbial every cloud has a silver lining.

By chance, we saw the photo exhibition outside Liat Towers. It makes the dormant travel bug in you rear its head. Some of the places look really inviting. PY remarked that it depends. Some places make good pictures and good pictures only. She quoted an example of taking a breathtaking scenery picture from a mountain but could not recall the experience other than feeling very exhausted from the hike up. Every cloud has a silver lining indeed!
