Woah... Mediterranean food is good stuff man. They had this amazing salad that was tasty yet healthy... there was avocado, brocolli, cucumber, very fine bean sprout, this rice tasting thing that looked like clumps of pomello and goat's cheese and some magic sprinkled on top that made my eyes twinkle and my ears wiggle :) And the spanish sausage and sweet potato was really good too. And best of all, to all my weight conscious friends, the dessert is SUGAR Free. Can't imagine a chocolate tart that's sugar free... but i found out that they used fructose instead... duh, there had to be some form of sweetener! Still, it's supposed to be healthy.
Interestingly, the whole restaurant was filled with LADIES. Such a girl power restaurant. Those men who were there were with their girlfriends/wives. Maybe it's the world cup effect, or maybe it helped that the French manager is such a good looker ;) No lah, it's a health conscious ladies restaurant. I would go again, anytime, oh yes, for the manager too.
On my way back :
A: Hey, excuse me, do you know where Covent Garden is?
me: Oh, (knowing how bad my sense of direction is) , the general direction is towards the left.
A: Do you know where this "rocket head " (sthg along that lines) club is?
me: No.
A: You went to River Island? Was there some kinda sale there?
me: Shakes head, laughs and walk away.
What strange pick up lines they have. More entertaining than anything. Gee.
Some exciting World Cup matches tomorrow. Sweden Paraguay and of course England Trinidad :) English TV actually isn't that bad. Very interesting shows like Super Nanny, Desperate Housewives, their version of MTV, a few drama serial channels. Maybe it's because we have a larger selection of channels than traditional TV. And maybe because I have been so TV deprived for 9 months. Past mid-night, they air ancient movies like these 3 cheekopek men in the jungle (the kind with a jungle wall paper and a few fake trees!!!) with a woman and they kept trying to peek at her bathing. One of them climbs up a tree with his binoculars, a gorilla (think King Kong style) taps his shoulder, he passes the binoculars to the gorilla, freaks out and falls off the tree... like HUH? Then the other man pretended to be the woman's maid by speaking in a really high pitched voice and LOOKED at her as he poured the water over her and when she was about to turn around... he threw the towel over her head and ran away ... like HUH? Sorry for the unnecessary elaboration, just found it too amusing.
Can't believe i'm 4 days away from Home. Too close to be true.
