Beppu Menkan and going to 'bed'

After much ado I finally met up with Rachelle again. We been planning to meet up for quite a while now but something always cropped up on her side at the last minute.

Initially I had planned to pick her from her place and then proceed to dinner. But as I was leaving the office I got the message that she was still at the office. The story was that she had forgotten to take her mobile and had left it in the office. Being that we had planned to meet and her mobile was our sole means of communication, she trekked back to get it. How sweet!

Anyway I got to NUH where I managed to find her after some circling. We drove down to China Square. We had dinner at Beppu Menkan at Far East Square. Food was nice and spicy. Rachelle had ordered hers at the highest level of 'chilliness'; eight chillies. It was quite a sight watching her consume her meal with her face all flushed, teary eyed and nasal discharge and all. I myself had some difficulty with mine as I am still nursing 2 ulcers on my lips and mouth wall although mine was only a 2 chillie rated dish.

After dinner we went to the nearby drink stall to chill out. I must admit they serve a good teh halia. Must bring my teh halia mate,Hasli, there one day. Besides that their other beverages are quite good also. Their Milo Dinosaur comes highly rated. Rachelle ordered an almond tea which tasted quite good. It was one of those cool, windy nights and the stall is located quite near the entrance so ever so often a cool breeze would embrace us. I guess it was the perfect environment to just chill out and have a good chat.What..with the music, the people passing by, the good drinks, the ambient lighting...ahh....must go there again...

After dinner we walked back to the car and I sent her home. Her last words as she left was maybe we could 'go to bed' next time we go out. I know what she meant but I teased her mercilessly afterwards for her enunciation gaff...bwaahaaaa...
