yeah, normally i can afford to go out, do what i like and still get my job done decently. but i digress.
anyways i have finally gotten my v-day dinner plans settled! but of course i shall not divulge the location lest my gf gets wind of it. then not fun alr right.
but i was damn surprised to discover that this supposedly ideal place was so damn near to my JC! that time i never knew it existed la.
but then again, i never once contemplated spending more than $10 per meal back in those old days (exceptions like kuishinbo or marina bay buffet aside) in JC. my paltry allowance of $50/week simply din allow for it i guess. so it wasn't entirely surprising too.
anyways, it's a v hard process sourcing for an ideal v-day restaurant, even with easily available information through friends and food blogs and the such. reasons include:
1. the place has good food and ambience but is too expensive even normally (>$100/head)
2. the place has good food and ambience and v affordable ($70/head) but the damn alacarte menu is not available and the v-day meal is exorbitant.
3. the place has good food and ambience and v affordable (alacarte menu available) but the location is so outta the way that there's nth else worth checking out near there.
4. the place has good food and ambience and v affordable (alacarte menu available) and the location is not outta the way but it's fully booked.
yes of course i could cook myself and have a picnic somewhere but it'll be too much of a risk for such an important occasion. what if the food's horrible. what if the location is packed. what if it's raining. what if we get swarmed by insects. what if my hamster finishes my food before i set off.
you get the picture.
well i just want to play it safe to ensure the most wonderful experience possible for my wonderful gf. it is my sacred duty as a wonderful bf, after all. here's to a wonderful meal and a wonderful day on the 14th.
