The good old times..

Its been a long while. Long time since the few of us had gathered and meet up for dinner and drinks. Gone are the good old days where after our Boys's Bridage sessions on the countless sat afternoon, we will all hang out at the Jurong West KFC for dinner.

I was brought to this restaurant for dinner. Gosh, guess I must have blinded as I asked myself, " How the heck I'm not aware of this place??" Better than Botak Jones. Similar concept, but restaurant style. Aston's the place. Suntec City. They serve mainly western food with a Stirlon Steak going for $13.90 with 2 sides! A pork chop cost only $6.50. Spaghetti cost a similar price. Drinks average $1.50. No service charge mind you! Only the standard 7% GST. 4 hungry guys tucked into our dinner and the total is only $51 bucks. Worth every cent. Delicious food, not to mention, with good service.

We adjourned to a new pub down in town. Gee, I'm not going to share this place with all of you! Its going to be one of my fav pub as present so I do not want it to be too crowded!

Well, the pub has about 6 tables indoors, with dim lightings, retro advertisement on its walls (Think Ya Kun), a bar counter and an outdoor area with 3 tables. Initially, we sat inside. Enjoying the plush comfy chair, sitting back, enjoying our wines and beers. Good retro music mix with the Top 40s and latest hits is played at a volume good enough for us to enjoy the music, yet chat among ourselves without screaming out lungs out.

A group who were seated at the outdoor area left and I relunctantly went to the outdoor sitting area as my buddy wanted to smoke. Holy smokes! The view was stunning! You can see the entire CBD, in the calmness of the night. The light breeze gently cools my face, making it the most enjoyable drinking experience. Best of all, its 1-1 all night long with free potatoes wasabi chips, courtesy of my buddy's long standing reputation. (He's regular there la). We are the only group at the outdoor area and we can have a good and long conversation covering all topics since our NS days, to working life, to handling our girlfriends till present life. Good chat we have.

The drinks are of good quality too. A pint of heneiken cost $15. One for one. A glass of red cost $13. One for one (Can be red or white). There are other drinks too, where 3 glass goes for the cost of 2. Again, no service charge. Only the 7% GST.

I will be coming back again. For sure.

And I ain't going to tell you where.
