Lunch at Equinox

Monday, 30 August 2010

It had been awhile, since I actually went out with friends. And Jelyn, my dear friend, called me up to tell me that she was on a two weeks leave. So we decided to catch up. We meet up and lunched at Aston's, Cathy Cineplex. It was a great time chatting and catching up. 

We scheduled to meet for lunch again, this time Jelyn was to choose a place. She had been busy, and it was a very last moment thing to meet again. On that day itself, I called Jelyn and she told me that she had made reservations. I had no idea, as to where we were going, until she stunned me by bringing me here.... Equinox.

Check out the view, it's just so breathe-taking.

We were spread with a rich buffet spread.  The main course was the onw we could choose. The waiter told us that since we ordered the steak, the Foie gras (goose liver, as I have been told, some fancy French dish), was to be complimentary.

When it arrived, we looked hard at it. I decided to dive in and give it a taste. Hmm... I found it to be kinda okay. Jelyn just hated it, that she wanted hers taken away. I enjoyed it and found it to be rather bitter when it cooled. Come on, how often do you get a chance to eat such fancy stuff.

After that, we started off with sushi, I didn't take any pictures, as I was still warming up with the great view. It's such a beautiful view, I was so touched that my dear friend brought me to this place. She is such a sweetheart. So after some sushi and miso soup, we headed back to the buffet spread.

While Jelyn feasted on the huge variety of seafood, I went along with the salad bar. Soon, our main course arrived. My darling friend asked for medium well, while I asked for medium rare. After the steaks arrived, she felt uncomfortable as her's was still a little red. She had it sent back to be re-cooked, and we chuckled about it, as we thought how she would annoy the chief.

Once the main course was done, it was time to head the Dessert section, my favourite. I started out with the creme burlee and it was all good.

 

And it was dessert heaven... after some hot tea, to wash it all down, we finished our chit chat and left. We wanted to snap some shots together, and Jelyn suggested the Awesome restroom. And she was right, it was just like the kind you see in the movies.

 

It was pretty fun taking pictures, in an elegant restroom. Here is a shot of the walk way to the restroom, and Jelyn is drooling over the drinks.

It was a great gals day out. Am feeling very blessed.
