little miss may

Okay, I get the hint… It’s time to post!

Thanks misti, kyh and carcar for patiently waiting in line.

I must say I’ve had an interesting spring September. And in a few blinks of my two eyes, it’s already October.

Moz came a-visiting last weekend, and we beer-ed and dined at the Belgian Beer Cafe, catching up on our goings-on. I would’ve shared some photos of the absolutely delicious Tintin au Congo mussels, Belgian-style sausages and beer we had, but unfortunately my skills at the DSLR still sucked big time. My photos came out bleah, but I’m sure Moz will share his with you… when he gets around to doing it!

And for those in the know, Chen was in Oz too, except at the other end in Perth. We didn’t meet up, but it was really nice to know that she was in the same continent as I am for the last few days.

Now, on with the yummier show…

I had the day off yesterday to celebrate his birthday. We made a sinfully indulgent visit to the Lindt Chocolat Cafe after a long, hot walkabout in the city. That tall glass of iced dark chocolate was just what the doctor ordered - perfectly chilled to cool the tummy down. And what visit would be complete without trying out their rich, chocolate cakes? Mmmm… worth every bite. And lick.

Not two hours had passed and it was time for dinner. Well, it wasn’t because we were hungry after downing all that iced chocolate and cake, but reservations were for 6 p.m. and we didn’t want to miss out on some delicious modern Japanese dining at WAQU.

The 5-course dinner was fabulous. Every portion was just the right size, and the flavours were vastly different and interesting, from one dish to another. The star of the night, I have to say, was the beef tenderloin steak he had. Seared to just the right medium-rare level, and oh-so tender to the bite.

Mmmm. Heaven.

Happy birthday, hon.
