Happy Birthday Fred

listening to jj lin's 'Sha Shou'...
The music video is queer. Part morbid, part tacky.
Song's not too bad though.

The uni cronies met on Saturday for Fred's birthday. Joey had flown off to some remote corner of the world, while Lena was in some remote corner of Singapore. She was at Boon Lay for her friend's housewarming and could only join us after dinner.

Japanese cuisine was actually the hot favourite, but since it was Fred's birthday, he had the power to veto.
So off we went to Brussels Sprouts.


After the main courses, it was time for dessert. Service at The Chocolate Factory has improved tremendously. The last time we went, they didn't provide free hot water refill for the tea. On Saturday, the lovely waitress actually took the initiative to top up hot water when she brought the cakes over.

The chocolate tart was sinfully good like I remembered. Another must try is the hazelnut layered wafer thing. Crunchy thin wafers with hazelnut cream. I looooove hazelnuts. The apple strudel was sour enough to perk me up. When taken with the vanilla ice-cream, it tasted just right. There were two other cakes on the table, but they were rather forgettable.

Happy Birthday Fred!

Anyway, I'm paying the price for gluttony. A frog is residing in my throat now. Once in a while, it'll take a feather and tickle my windpipe. Then I start to cough. Don't be shocked if you see me spit a frog out one of these days. Hahaha!!!
