A dinner like never before.

Wow. I wished my digital camera was with me today.

First things first, finally after a thousand and one days at home, I finally went down to Orchard Road to walk about. Was walking about Heeren with my sister when I saw someone familiar walking towards me. Oh well he seemed to be basking in his newly found fame, or rather, whatever's left of his fame as he strutted around Annex. I'm talking about Singapore Idol finalist Christopher Michael Lee. (is that his name? forgive me if I got it wrong)

That was one.

And then as we (my sister and I) walked back to Royal Plaza Hotel, the one opposite Far East via Tangs, we bumped into the infamous Street Eyebrow Plucker, Steven Lim. I swear we almost burst out laughing as we recalled how he once approached us.

"Hi, do you speak English? I'm actually a very famous person in Singapore..."

He was traumatising some other teenage kid.

So anyways, the dinner, yes, the dinner. It was buffet @ Cafe Vienna (the one in Royal Plaza on Scotts), which was really great, to say the very least. ( a blatant understatement, but yah.)

There was sushi, sashimi, a wide spread of cold dishes, poached salmon, a heap of meat to stock up on carbos, all the salads in the world, fondue, chocolate mousse, truffles and yummy ice cream, just to name a few. Wow. I just didn't know where to start. I ate till I really couldn't eat anymore. The desserts were *oh my God* simply sumptious. For once, I had to reject any other chocolate-y stuff that my mother or sister took for me. I never reject chocolate.

I swear I put on 400 kgs, at the very least.

Now I'm full, and very satisfied. Oh to top it off, my dad met his friend at the hotel's surau (prayer place) and that guy happened to be the director of the hotel's sales. So he came by the restaurant and gave us a 20% discount on the entire bill.

Lovely lovely. What a nice way to mark my parents' 21st Wedding Anniversary.
