Saturday night- Kids in bed. Beautiful moon out in full glory. New chiffon top waiting to be worn. A and I are looking forward to a great eve with friends. We had decided to meet at Modestos, a place that serves great Italian food. The evening was going great, interesting conversations, delicious fresh juices and even better starters. But starters being starters were ignored, nibbled upon and forgotten. When it was time to order it seemed that half of them were on some special detox diet and the other half were just not hungry(I guess the others did eat the starters) ! I was starving. I hadn't seen food since my modest lunch, not even a drink inbetween. I bravely ordered a pasta which everybody had a bit out off and left 2 measly mouthfuls for me.
It was nearly midnight when we got out of Modestos. A ridiculous amount was coughed up for the drinks (!) and nibblies. I wanted to feel happy and satiated but all I felt was irriated and hungry.
My husband tried his best- Did I want to go back home and fix myself a sandwich? Nah! How about a hot chocolate at a coffeplace? NO, I did not want another DRINK! Did I want to check out Newton circus? Aah, now he was talking. Newton Circus (famous outdoor food court in the heart of Singapore) is a two minute walk from home and seemed like the best bet. At 1 am, Newton circus was lit up like Disneyland and was bustling with people maximising their weekend. We found a table under the star lit, moon-filled sky. Our order, egg fried rice was served piping hot with 2 extra helpings of chilly. A and I relished every bite, sipping our ice cold sugarcane juices, revelling in the moment.
Contentment followed as I held hands with A and took the short walk back home.
A delicious meal, served in 10 minutes, well under $10, complete with an amazing ambience at 1 am! Now, that IS something!
