number 11

nehwen's birthday dinner
was honjin at the chow house
with a hundred other couples i had never met
and number eleven i was..

good food good good food
60 pieces of ebi tempura we ordered
and many many plates of salmon, tako, hamachi sashimi
shishamo i love i love!
chawanmushi was kinda weird though, way too watery
beef nabe, softshell crab, grilled beef, fried swordfish (i think), scallop sashimi
over 20 softshell crab handrolls
and i cant remember what else

cedele chocolate cake for the birthday boy
was so so good, but oh so thick
slices were left unfinished so saddd

tricked nehwen with a cd of the high school musical 2 soundtrack
which was actually the hairspray soundtrack in disguise!
popped the cd in the car on the way to
COSY BAY (complete with blinking lights and all)
a kinda dodgy seedy seeming beer garden near the old national stadium
because we were such a big group with no reservations on a friday night
we were being served by a kid!!
who skipped away and spoke with a high pitched voice in a kiddy tone!
very strange, very very strange.
he claims he's 18 but nah uh no way!!
in fact all the other waiters look underaged tooo!!
tsk tsk!
had enough of beer the night before
so had a vodka cranberry which i havent had in a long long time!

a long night it was
