July 27th, 2009Lunch at Coffee Club
I had lunch with Nicolas, one of my primary school best friends about 3 hrs ago. We went to eat at the Coffee Club right outside Raffles Place MRT station. The last time I saw Nicolas was 6 or 7 years ago. I didn’t see him for a couple of years after we finished primary school but we met up again one day thanks to a mutual friend. He is one of the few primary school ex-classmates that I still keep in touch with.
I was thinking about this the other day: I’m still not sure if Singapore is where I should be. I still don’t feel like this is ‘home’ but at least, here I’ve been able to meet up with my good friends again. I have 3 other close friends in Singapore. I’ve met them at different stages of my life and they have been very good friends. A few years ago, I didn’t think that I’d see again after they/I left Mauritius. Now somehow I’ve landed in Singapore and they happen to be working/studying here. I’m really happy. 
Back to food… 
Soup of the day was Leek and potato soup. It was good. :flowers: I had just finished my soup when I suddenly remembered that I had my camera in my bag.
Mushroom and Parmesan baked rice. I could smell the parmesan as soon as the waiter put the dish down on the table.
Mango peach smoothie
Nicolas had the Honky Tonk Gumbo Set meal. (Weird name!) I didn’t take a photo of his Lychee soda with vanilla ice cream but here’s what his food looked like. (90% of it anyway)
He had already started eating when I took this photo.
We only had one hour to eat and talk but it was good to see him again. We’ve known each other since 1990. That was so long ago. 
I can’t help feeling a bit old. I miss my carefree childhood days.
The food was good & we got to talk for a while after not seeing each other for so many years. Sounds nice right? The only thing I’m sad about is that I forgot to ask one of the waiters to take our photo. As usual I took photos of food and forgot about taking photos of people. Argh. I’ll try not to forget next time.

dessert looks ‘miammy’
The main looks delicious. No surprise here, I’m a fan of cheese!
food photos again!! :laughing: Maybe we should meet up during august and i can show you some good eating areas if you want =P
@ Mervin, I didn’t touch my iced water at all. The smoothie was nice but I would have liked it more if it was a bit sweeter.
@ Zhu, I love cheese too!
I’m now looking for a place where I can eat cheese fondue!
@ karl, yeah you have to show me some good eating places someday!
*eyes that baked rice*
I can smell the Parmesan from here
