Delicious Afternoon!

Last Thursday, I had lunch with two good friends from school. The place was Delicious, One Utama and the plan was to meet at 12.30pm. This was way too early for my night owl ways so I stayed up all night in anticipation of this date for fear of oversleeping and completely missing the whole thing. But I was not late and the three of us enjoyed a very nice afternoon eating, laughing and basically catching up.

Cal, Shyam and I were classmates in high-school, which makes us Assuntarians hailing from our beloved Assunta Secondary School. After high school, we went our separate ways but managed to keep in touch over the years. As always, whenever we meet, Shyam will give me a pep talk on credit cards; reminding me to cut my cards already and just end this credit card phase once and for all! And as usual, I'll reply with my standard "I need my credit card" look!

I know that excessive use of credit cards can lead to addiction but they do come in handy when I am in need of something pricey pronto! I always try to repay my banks ASAP of course and frankly, it's just easier to carry plastic around rather than paper.

Does it sound like I'm making excuses? LOL! The truth is I like having my credit cards around. In fact, that's actually the first thing I look for in a store. A store carrying the 'we accept credit card' sign or a restaurant with restaurant merchant account credit card payment facilities definitely appeals more to the credit card user in me!

I think every store should accept credit cards as a payment option. As a customer I'd want to have my option in paying for my purchases even if it means using my almost maxed-out credit card!

Back to my lunch, I had Carbonara that day and Shyam had the Beef Pie. After the many good reviews I've heard about Delicious, I was expecting something scrumptious. Sad to say, I've tasted better Carbonara. Apparently, Delicious is now under new management so perhaps that explains the possible change in the kitchen department.

Callie who arrived later only had watermelon juice. No wonder she's so skinny, even after having three beautiful kids!

For dessert, we shared a sticky date cake with ice cream and butterscotch sauce, which I thought was the best dish of the entire meal.

Before we parted ways, we made plans for another session soon. And despite not sleeping all night, I had a wonderful afternoon with my friends and next lunch date will be my turn to organize. I'm thinking hi-tea in a nice hotel!
