yay~ ytd we finally went to the spanish cafe to eat our long awaited paella (pa-eh-ya) :) i was also looking forward to the sangria (fruit wine)...
we ended class at 5pm (the class was fun as usual of cos~) but our teacher made the reservation at 7~! so that means we had 2 hours to kill...the cafe is at arab street so we decided to just walk ard that area...honestly i have nv been to arab street b4...so i felt reallie like a tourist there...
we saw this little shop selling the games/toys singaporeans used to play last time...quite interestin...like a mini toy museum~ throughout the trip, i managed to interact w my classmates more...got to find out more abt their jobs etc...we have a Japanese classmate who is very quiet...but i managed to talk to her more during the dinner :)
anw, we just walked ard arab st that area for awhile...more like ducklings following the mother duck lidat...and we were moving in a pack~ reallie like tourists lidat...and honestly there were parts of the place that totallie dun look like singapore at all~ surprisingly~
most of the shops there were selling fabrics/indian/malay costumes/belly dancing costumes and CARPETS o.o hahaha...and we reallie just spent our time wandering ard...aimlessly...actuallie most of us were very hot and hungry by then...but it seems like our teacher has no intention of going there early...i think it's just in their culture to turn up on time for the reservation but not earlier? haa...
finally someone said let's go to the cafe and sit down and have a drink or sth first while waiting for our food~ (finally!)
anywayz, we were seated on a long table...so we can onli chit chat among ourselves on our end...which was actuallie made up of ade, lyn, me and 2 other gers (1 was the jap girl) ...so technically speaking...i am still hanging out w my closer frenz :X
as for the food~ we had the sangria first...it was bland! hmmm...but the owner said it may taste very mild but it's stronger than we think! esp if we keep eating the fruits which are actuallie the most concentrated part w the wine...(opps that was after i drank half the glass in 1 mouth and ate 3 pieces of apples -.-) but seriously it just tastes like diluted red wine...hmmm...haha
the tapas are very good though~ i love the potatoes with cheese~ yum yum! :)
the paella was a little disappointing...maybe i have nv been the greatest fan of seafood? the whole rice tastes of very strong seafood (prawn in particular) smell...hmmm...i will give it a 6 out of 10...but it's always good to try new things once in awhile i guess...so i am still glad we went :)maybe 1 thing is also cos the rice doesn't seem to be the usual rice they use in the mediterranean (sp?)...i think the grains are slightly smaller...but nonetheless i think we all enjoyed the dinner~
then at abt 10, we moved to clarke quay area...the part which i dun reallie like (dancing-.-)...yup yup we went to the cuba libre where they have latin american music...quite nice actuallie and guess wad, we all went down to dance in the end :) it's reallie quite fun~ and lynette was so into the music that she wants to learn salsa..:) actuallie seeing some of the ppl dancing makes me wanna learn too~ esp recently i have been watching this hk drama...also abt dancing...haha...tempting~ but i have no money to learn so much things lah...:P i have been spending too much money recently...
but overall i had fun...cos once i started dancing, i din mind staying longer there~maybe we can go back again some other day on our own...:D
