Miss to take a pic of us and the gd food!! (excpt mine:( )

Yeap yeap, on the the 13th Feb, we meet up at Junction 8 for a dinner, and a time to celebrate the February Babies (a total of 4 out of 6).

My intention is for the 6 of us to meet up for a cool dinner and den shopping for the present for the 4 of us... so that it will be easier to share the money, and to combine each budget to get any of those expensive gifts.

But both of the idea sort of fails... 1st is the dinner restaurant - Cafe Cartel, where I dun used to have any bad feelings abt. But aft reading those online blog abt this restaurant, I seems to be more picky on the service of this restaurants. things that i dun like ( and think that the 10% of service charge is really not worth, cos there is not service to talk abt...)

1. the free flow bread is finished and they told 10min or more to refill 3 loaves of bread into that big basket... (did they take tat time to warm the bread or what? no.. its cold)

2. they forget about one out of 5 of our order, and miscounted the number of dishes served to us. (I see the problem is due to the lack of an operating system where the different waiters or waitress have to oblige to, so that there wont be more dishes served or worst still forget abt one.)

3. I funny thing is about serving of plain ice water. (maybe is bcos of peak hr, and they miss to refill) At first, they need our reminder to refill our emptied glasses, and they wont fill them fully (as though there is a rule for them to fill just to a particular line on the glass). At the end, where we are finished with our food, most of the plates being kept (or is it left with the glasses), and abt to raise our hand for our bill, the waiter sudden came from behind me, eagerly asking if we need a refill. (he is really pro-active on his part, maybe thinking that we want some water instead)

4. Maybe I shouldn include the pt on unexpectation of the dishes that I ordered.. I am just mad about myself for not looking at the picture on the menu, and gotten someting quite unsatisfied. But really Thank to Ming for offering me the big piece of BBQ pork ribs ( its DaMn gd tasting, a really must try if u dun care abt services provided).

5. maybe the ice cream can be own made or something... it will be more satisfying ;)

I apologies for anything offensive, but I am jus unsatisfied... and sorry to Ming and Qing, in case you find me being a grumpy customers. I just solely wanted to blog someting. I usually go easy with services... *wink..

On the next thing abt presents, sorry if my plan of saving us time and brain juice in thinking of what to buy doesnt work out. hehe...
now ying and feng have to spend some time and effort to get 4-1 = 3 gifts. ops...
What can you buy with 2ppl sharing? huh... dun nid anything exp, dun worry abt me. jus get a red packet, and be practical on me yeah.. ;) (food is welcome, but i think not this wk, cos till now, i have 2 dinner at restaurants. One upcoming on fri, and the Big steamboat on Sat, and mon. By eating like this, I tink i will really get fat, and may not be able to cut those fats on my tummy!! ugly!!)

Ok lah, this is a little long.. I have to slp leh.. otherwise cant be up for breakfast and class.
hope to hear from u ppl !!!
