the missing piece

the Manhattan Platter


it's polished up! =P

finally, i have the chance to watch Twilight after all my friends told me how they are so crazy over that guy, Edward. -.= i was the one who got so excited to watch a vampire show in the first place! =S

had a brunch cum dinner in MFM. as usual, we always choose the 'oh, fantastic and bombastic' ones for dinner since we haven't eaten for the whole day, so we decided to order 'Manhattan Seafood Platter for two'. it's worth spending for the meal, i need supper no more! the size are really huge. when they say for two, they really mean two big and tough eater, seriously. i even ordered a Manhattan mocha, which really made my stomach all stuffed up. nes chose the light Earl Grey as she's suffering from the irritating runny nose. and she kept complaining, because it's so unglam. haah!

anyway, it's just too mouth-watering to think about it, when the guy spray up some heat to melt up the cheesy mayo sauce for the prawn's topping! yummy! all i can think is to put them into my mouth! the most i love were the prawn and the soft fish. i can still taste it.. taste it~ haha!

we did have some difficulty finishing it up, i kept eating the lemonade, and trying to squeeze it out and put it in my warm mineral water, because they only provide lemonade in cold ones. the embarrassing part is a waitress saw me squeezing the juice of the lemonade which i took from the platter itself, looking all-pathetic. so i decided to cover up my embarrassment by asking one of the waitress.

me: "Excuse me miss, can i have a piece of lemon?"
waitress: (paused, and amazed) "A... piece?"
me: "Yeah yeah a piece, can I?" (doubted because i thought she mind)
waitress: "You mean, a slice?"
me: (shocked, embarassed) "Yes, absolutely. Thank you" (this is the best part because i still remember thanking her!)

and the covering up means making me more embarassed! argh~ okay, so i just kept all quiet and not demanding anything else. so a lady sitting beside me, which i suspected of being a property agent kept muttering about the service there with her friend and finally enquiring her credit card redemption with the manager during payment. she gave a fussy impression to me. and the most uncomfortable thing was the way she kept looking at how we ate!

During the final part of our meal, the lady signaled me and offered me a 10% discount for the meal if i would like her to pay using her credit card and pay her cash later. so without giving it a second thought, i agreed! haah! who wouldn't want? so i told nes and i can sense some delight and reluctance at the same time. lol. that lady is indeed weird because not long after she said this, she just left without a word. without paying us with her card. without 10% discount. wth, did she just say for fun? or because what we ordered was much more delicious than hers? -.=

but one thing i learnt, it is true that lemonade indeed increase you eating appetite.

i was too afraid of showing it because i know it's not working anymore for both of us. there is nothing i can do for the moment, isn't it?
