Long Weekend Part 2 - Shopping & Dinner

Orchard was very crowded. As usual. Many people must have taken leave or half-day off.

I hate shopping when it's so crowded. Long queues and limited browsing space. Will have to go down again next week on a weekday. *grin*

Walked to Soup Restaurant on Seah Street for dinner with SY, Carol & EK (the birthday boy). JH and Robin were both late coz they were free enough to go home after work. Didn't think I would like the food there - Chinese restaurant food not a particular fav of mine.

But I must say, I did enjoy dinner far more than I thot I would. The tofu was tasty and its skin was well-fried. The chicken was very tasty and went very well with the cabbage leaves and ginger. It was well-cooked too, just enough tenderness and not too raw. Also not oily at all. Very impressed. The rice blew me away. The taste took some time to get used to but after adding the sauce from the tofu to it, I loved it! Goes very well with the salty pork patty.

Dessert was ok. Found it a lil too sweet. But was refreshingly cold.

Was pleasantly surprised that the waitresses did not start chasing us away when it was time to close. We were the last ones left and basically they had cleaned up the rest of the place already... Just waiting for our table to clear.

Generally, it was very good service. And pretty good food. They just found a long-term customer in me. *laugh*
