once upon a dinner-time

last sunday, 5th of april 2009 after 5 of us -me, af, ht, rs, and j (ht's friend)- finished watching Fast & Furious 4 (it's a good one though), then we decided to have 'proper' dinner. walking out from dhoby ghaut's "The Cathay", here starts the drama:

[note: 'xx' means i cant remember the person]
xx: makan mana nehh ??
all: terserah.. terserah.. terserah..
me: yg enak apa ya?
rs: di sini ada resto sushi gitu sih, mau?
ht: gw sih apa aja dahh.
me: selaen itu?
xx: paling ke plazing (Plaza Singapore)
xx: udahlah ke plazing aja, foodcourt.
all: okey.

@ Plazing
rs: jadi mo foodcourt kan ya? ato resto?
me: lah.. emang mo apa?
rs: ya ada beberapa resto sih.
me: resto aja deh
all: terserah..
xx: resto mana
me: adanya apa yg enak?
rs: crystal jade [just a quick response]
me: ya udah itu aja [quick response also] *haha*
all: [no worries]

sitting around the table, we 'surprised' by the price.
rs: gimana seh.. katanya mo makan foodcourt, koq jadi ke sini
all: [cekikikan]
af: salah sapa tuhh.
rs: iya nih, bapak ea nih.
me: [cengar cengir]
af: coba sini liat menunya

me: hah? masa?
af: ya lu liatnya yg menu prosperity sih. udah deh, dimsum aja gmn?
all: yaudah yaudah yaudah..

ht: gw sih apa aja dahh, lu atur aja
af: ya udah ini aja, lumayan koq..

rs: gw ada creditcard nih, mungkin bs dapet discount
af: tapi blum tax loh, 17%
me: halah.. yaudahlah.. cepet pesen..

if i was not mistaken, here they are, in order of appearence:

very hot soup-pot contains small pork-rib and spinach (i think)
roasted chick-duck-pork set
steamed fish
deep-fried shrimp with almond
veggies mixed with 3kinds of egg

me: baru berasa menyesal stlh kenyang ya, huahua

rs: iya neh.. gara2 siapa emang yaaaa milih resto ini.
