my oh my! what a night!!

Finally, after countless hours of pestering and trying to convince people to go and try out Shangri-La Hotel's Mother of All Buffet at The Line, I finally realised this once in a lifetime opportunity to splurge a staggering 80 buckeroos for dinner with Tina, Elise, Huiling, and 2 friends of Tina whom she managed to cheat them with flowering words of how great the buffet is gonna be! The buffet was wonderful! Wonderfully blend actually. Despite 16 stations offering tons of various cuisines. all 6 of us think that it is over hyped and really, none of us will ever venture there again. Unless we are freaking cash rich and has nothing better to do. Even the dessert section which most folks having been there raved about turned out to be a slight disappointment by my standards. And I also found out that all desserts with orange stuff in it sucks...what a great way to ruin my favourite colour!



The only high point after realising the seafood selection does not have Alaskan crabs is the sole saving factor of having some lovely lobsters, actually these creatures are not really all that lovely. From someone whose family is in the seafood business, these crustaceans really do not fit in the bill for 1 that should even appear in a 5 star hotel establishment. Hell, even my neighbourhood chinese joint Crystal Jade have better qualities! haha...



Anyway, after the filling buffet at the amazingly blend Line, we retreated to Clark Quay for booze. Elise brought us to this place she went with her Barclay's interns called China One (??) . Had lotsa beer and i kindda lose control at Da Pump cos I bought a Tower of Beer despite no one really is in the mood to drink anymore! Oh, and the farking cheater waitress gladly took my order for the tower although she knowingly realised that the place will be closing in like erm...15 minutes?! Talk bout improving service quality...a point which I reckoned Singapore will never ever be on par with other places (and trust me dah-lings, a globe trotter like moi does knows a thing or two bout service standards!) In the end, I tried my very best to coerce Douglas to down his beer but still, it was just toooo much!

By the way, last night also gave me an opportunity to use my newly bought Sony Erricsson phone to zap some photos! I lurve the new camera with flash!
