Been eating so much its just incredible...kinda disgusting when I think about it...but how can you resist? I think its the whole asian mentality thing to "get your money's worth" whenever you go to a buffet...so when we went to Melba Brasserie in Southbank on Sunday night, everyone fulfilled and lived up to the "asian" inside - except for me!!
I wasn't really in the mood after stuffing my face at Sarah's surprise birthday party...but it totally wasn't my fault...
Larry, Vince and Steve were taking SO long to decide what they wanted to do that in the end, I just kept eating..and eating...and eating...which kinda worked out really well because in the end they decided NOT to go for lunch and to go SHOPPING instead...not that I was complaining...
Its a rare occasion when guys wanna go shopping...so I was pretty impressed that there was no whinging (except for Steve complaining that his feet were hurting even though he was wearing "flats"...Steve seriously - think about the pain that us girls go through!) and that we pretty much saw all that we wanted to...
However...first let down...Kathmandu's sale only started THIS friday...so we didn't get to buy what we wanted...gotta wait a WHOLE WEEK!!
Second let down...no sizes left on sale items at mountain designs...
Third let down...no sale on items WITH sizes at mountain designs...
sigh...
Anyway - so back to the eating...7 of us went for the buffet and totally pigged out...like no joke...pigged out big time...then we had a "couch" session...moved to the bar/lounge area and had a time of "letting it all out"...everything that had been kept hidden for the last 7 years...yep - thats right...the last SEVEN YEARS!! Was pretty funny - hearing about all the "lightbulb" and "third wheel" people...or "facilitators" as we chose to call them...
Hearing about all the "prayers" that were answered - or NOT answered...and the "sacrificing" of bus tickets during holidays so that certain people could be together...and so others DIDN'T have to be together...
all in all it was a real eye-opener...nothing was left unmentioned...it was great - I mean, at least it was great for me coz I wasn't involved...I just sat there and listened...and laughed...hmmm...!! But yeah...its great now...7 years later...but we all know that 7 years ago it was far from that!!
Anyway...back to the food...
So tonight, again...went for the buffet...totally stuffed...can't move...had to change outta my jeans as soon as I walked through the front door...I feel uncomfortable...I wonder if theres any quick remedy...somebody help me!! Not good...I definitely made up for sunday's lack of action...probably shouldn't have....totally regretting it now - but its too late...oh well...passionfruit cheesecake...chocolate mousse...creme brulee...creme caramel...panna cotta...the list goes on and on...
Was so totally engrossed in the food that I forgot to take photos of the it...so heres whats left...but trust me...it looked better before I started!!
I have NO idea what Daniel was doing to this cantelope - something about coating it in sugar...??!!
Chris and Yuli before...
And after... (yep thats right...stretch it out!)
Its all grins before...
But not after...
Anyway...you get the point...eat in moderation...as much as possible - New Year's resolution number 1!!
