Just the two of us (2)…

I went out on a dinner date on Wednesday night with one young hot babe who was celebrating her 23rd birthday. Gee! I’m more than twice her age!!! So all you guys out there, go eat your hearts out! Hahahahaha!!! Well, the birthday girl in question was Clare of Kampua Talk…

We went to the cafe at the Garden Hotel where the food has always been to my liking and comparatively cheaper…

I’m not too sure about their slogan though – linguistically, that is! Anyway, it’s the food that counts…and nothing else matters or at least, for someone my age! Clare had lamb chops…..

Garden cafe lamb chops

– nicely-grilled, juicy tender lamb chops! One advantage in dining with a sweet young thing was I got to eat half of the lamb chops. Hehehehehe!!! And good grief! She did not touch her french fries and coleslaw and everything on the side!!! I would have wanted all that as well, but I had to keep myself in check as I was being the perfect gentleman…and did not want to shock the other diners and embarrass the poor girl! ROTFLMAO!!!

So I quietly licked my own plate clean… 

Garden Cafe tom yam spaghetti

This is their tom yam spaghetti. I used to have this quite often when it was on promotion and was available at a lower price. Now at RM12.00, I would rather go for the other options like their fish and chips or mixed grill. But since I had not had it for quite sometime, I decided to go for it just for a change. I also had my daughter’s favourite dessert (Gosh! She’ll kill me when she reads this! Drooling away there in Sungai Petani, poor thing!) – pancake with ice cream…

My daughter will always have it everytime we dine at the place. It is really very nice…but a bit expensive at RM6.00. On the other hand, the lamb chop is very very cheap especially when we compare it to the other places in Sibu or elsewhere (not counting those NCCA* “taman selera” places).

Well, I hope you enjoyed the dinner (and the company), Clare…and wishing you a really great year ahead! Those of you who would like to read about our date from her point of view…and drool over her much clearer and nicer pictures can click this link to her recent post on it in her blog. Just don’t say that I didn’t warn you! LOL!!!
