it’s so awkward (despite the yummilicious)....

went for dinner at Kota Damansara with Kelvino after my meeting nearby. we found this classic thai restaurant (damn…I forgot the name of that restaurant!!) that I have to really give them thumbs up for everything... the food, their friendly service, the environment, the concept and decoration.

we were attracted by the decoration of the restaurant when we were passing by to look for a place to feed our hungry souls. immediately Kelvino parked his car right in front of the restaurant and we stepped in without second thought. once we stepped in, we were too drawn in by the environment until one of the waiters came and told us ‘sorry, our kitchen has closed.’ we were very disappointed at that very moment but before we managed to move a step, the boss dashed to us and say ‘oh no, you are more then welcome. please take a seat and I’ll bring you the menu now.’ we were so delighted that he really cares about his customer. we took quite a while to decide what to eat since I was still talking on the phone and Kelvino flipping thru the menu figuring out what to order. then came the boss again asking do we need help in some recommendation. we were more than happy for all his efforts to make sure that we are comfortable and satisfied. while recommending us what are their specialties, he kept on mentioning that all his dishes are big enough portion for couples. we both went blank and kind of awkward when he kept on thinking that we are both couple. we just couldn’t stop laughing at each other faces after he left us taking our order into the kitchen.

after all the laughing and browsing around the authentic thai items that they sell as merchandise, our dishes were finally set on our table. we ordered a seafood fried rice, omelette with scallop and a curry dish. we both couldn’t stop eating and tried our very best to finish up the food although we were stuffed like a pig as it was really too good to be wasted. the squids, the octopus and the prawns in the seafood fried rice are so generous in portion and most importantly fresh. same goes to the scallops in the omelette. as for the curry, it has some unique taste to it that we both couldn’t describe (but of coz it tastes great) and has chunks of tender chicken meat, potatoes and onions.

at last, Kelvino had sacrificed his ‘slim’ tummy to gallop down all the remaining food and we definitely need sometime to digest in order to walk back to his car. we sat back and enjoyed our cup of tea when the boss came to clear up our table. we complimented him for the nice place and good food. he was so flattered that out of nowhere he said a lot of couples enjoy hanging out here because it’s very comfy and serene. again we both felt the awkwardness again! since when the rule says that when a guy and a gal having great dinner together has to be a couple??

yay, great dinner is definitely the best way to end a day. we were stuck in the jam at the u-turn back to uptown while sending me back to my office to get my car. since I was just the passenger and it was so jammed, I looked to the car right next to me. yeah, tell me about coincidence… it was Danny! opppss so ‘unlucky’ that he saw me too hence we gave each other a slight smile. seeing him with his current girlfriend and him seeing me with another guy is the biggest awkward moment in my life (and don’t ask me why as I really don’t know why). I guess we both couldn’t do anything bout it but to pretend nothing is going on. I purposely acted as if I was busy talking to Kelvino and ignored the rest.

what an awkward wednesday nite... but no doubt I did enjoyed myself utterly
