Valentine

It was a last minute decision to make reservation on the big day itself. Was thinking of just walking into a restaurant full of dinners and demand us a table for two but it will be an embarrassing scene if they were to turn us down and shoo us away. Well you know, with a British accent “I’m sorry sir, but the restaurant is full and tonight’s occasion is by reservation only.” and at the same time showing you the door. With that thought in mind I quickly weep out my trusty Notebook, browse the web and started calling all the restaurants in town of cause within my budget. All the ones which we have not dine in before was all fully booked for the night. Without giving up and in the end I managed to get an exclusive Japanese Restaurant in Bandar Utama and TGIF reservation done up. The decision as to where we should dine is in the mind of my partner. With one sms confirmation TGIF it is!
Yes it’s a GIMMICK! Food sucks as compared to the normal days. As usual they came up with the Valentines special 2 types of main course with 2 sides and a dessert for you to choose from. In order words order what is on there or don’t eat at all! Food came in a jiffy as they don’t have much to prepare not to mention the bill came fast too. How fast? Finished the dessert, wipe my mouth, stood up went to the toilet came back in 1 min, BAM! It’s there….starring at me. I don’t remember the service being THAT good before. When I was there the last time I remember raising my hands doing that signing bill gesture, I miss that now. Somehow we felt that weren’t welcome, evil eyes starring waiting for you to make the move so that they can clean the table for the next victims of Valentines.

Overall, I managed to spend my night with my lovely partner.
