Shopping Spree Day Part 2 : Dinner at Polo Club

So. I was gonna meet Yan for dinner and a movie after shopping. I had this distinct feeling of wanting to dine in a garden. Some Italian restaurant I had read about but I could not remember the name. So we settled for the familliar Polo Club, which was, as always, pleasant.





Stef actually discovered this place and I am so grateful for it. We are not members but we go there to dine at the coffeehouse. I like the coffeehouse because there's a mix of cuisine - Mexican, Italian, Asian and American. So I can have nachos with Hor Fun or Indonesian nasi goreng if I wanted to. Prices are reasonable - normal restaurant fare. A plate of nasi goreng will cost you around $9.



They have salads like Greek, Caesar's - so, it caters for my 'dieting' needs too! To top it all off, I just love how far away from the madding crowd I am.




I reached half an hour earlier than Yan so ordered some red wine, plugged in my Ipod...(ok, I smoked a few ciggies too - slipped up) and just spaced out. Then at some point I whipped out my camera and began taking pics of the sky - was very taken with the blue skies behind the pinkish clouds...and the lush greenery...and the little hut.

















Then Yan arrived and sometime later, so did the food. I got myself quesadillas and Yan, as usual, her steak. According to Yan, the pepper sauce was very nice. I enjoyed my quesadillas which was stuffed with grilled chicken, cheese and tomatoes. Dollops of avocado dip on each slice. I asked for jalapenos to spice things up a lil bit.



We paid $50 for the following :
a) jalapenos (they charged me $1.50)
b) Cappucino
c) Glass of red wine
d) Garlic Bread
e) Coke
f) Beef steak
g) Quesadillas

I'd been to Polo Club years ago - think way back in 2004 or what. Yep..I certainly love the ambiance and tranquility. I can't remember really what I had but the food was great and I had second helping. Hmm...Think I shall return...
