i tried leaving work earlier but failed miserably.... jojo was in town for 4 hours!!!
and coz he has the cooler camera, all the pictures were taken and he hasnt uploaded them yet.
this was what he carried back for me :D and more inside!
then it was off to cocette for dinner with sarah, gina and sinclair at the new wanderlust hotel.... or not quite so new hotel
we had a rather interesting experience here.... while we were placing our orders, the waiter told us we were over-ordering and should start taking off at least 1 of our orders. with curious looks all around - we were pretty sure we were all starving and would finish eating everythingwe 4 piggies had.....
chicken liver mousse - which btw gina has me to thank for getting her hooked onto this
rather disappointing escargots
overly-charred scallops with fennel salad
sarah had horrible runny nose so she ordered mushroom soup
then it was on to the main courses:
boeuf bourguignon
lamb with veg
coccette's famous roasted chicken with roasted potatoes and greens
and of course we cldnt just stop there rite??? so we ordered apple tartin
unfortunately all this was really not great at all.... i personally felt it wasnt worth what i paid but at least i got to try the hype? but it was mostly just hype and nothing lived up to it. i mean with 3 very dessert orientated girls on a table... even the dessert was forced eated. oh well
but who cared abt the food when all we were there for was for the pressies!!!!
sinclair got sarah and i some water-expandable undies? and sarah got me a blouse and alice in wonderland ring but gina's pressie of the picture was amazing!!! i totally love it!
the best part of it all was.... i had earlier spied a pantry magic bag tt sinclair was lugging around and of course i thot that was for me... i mean y wld they be getting sarah something frm there rite? im the one cooking my butt off all year long :p haha but then when the exchange happened... sarah got the huge bag instead!!! haha and she left that to the last! she was sooooo intimidated by it, it was hilarious by itself! gina bought sarah a really cool apple green old school weighing scale for her packaging!!!! so that s can stop over-stamping her dresses
