Another birthday dinner, this time it’s my little twin, Gigi’s birthday.
It was quite a mixed emotion celebration, as we are combining both a happy birthday celebration for Gigi and a farewell dinner for Evan.
Evan has moved to the States and was back for a week or so, and he’s going to leave town again now.
This was the first and last time I am meeting him this time round since he was back.
Brian is the CEO (Chief Event Organizer) for this birthday dinner gathering and he booked a table in advance at Senditos Tapas.
Jon picked me up from office while Brian picked up Gigi and Winson.
We arrived first, followed by Brian since the birthday girl needs extra time to dress up .
It’s her big day after all. so dressing up is a must.
When we arrive, the waitress seated us at a cozy corner.
While waiting, we ordered their signature drink, Sangria which is a delicious concoction of fruit juices, soda water, ice, fruit slices and either red or white wine that the waitress has introduced to us.
We also ordered a non-alcoholic version for Gigi since she can’t take alcohol.
We start ordering the moment the host and the birthday girl arrived as we are all seriously hungry.
Since we have quite a bit of people, we get to order many different type of tapas to share.
Some of it was funky and was something that I have tried for the first time.
Tapas are generally small portions of hot or cold food served as part of the social scene in Spanish bars.
So yes, it’s more like small bites or snacks to go with beer and wine which is just great.
We ordered quite a number of dishes that has scallops in it since Gigi loves scallops!
By the end of the dinner, we were all full already and with the birthday cake we were burping and rubbing our tummy.
Brian took out the lovely square green tea cake with red bean cake.
While it is very Japanese style flavour, I still think it is a weird combination.
The strong green tea taste with a little bitter aftertaste and the sweet red bean taste.
While I find it weird, I must admit their decoration for the cake is on point.
Since Alan can’t join for dinner since he have to work overtime, then we asked him to join us for our next round.
We went to Brewball for some drinks and a few round of pool.
At Brewball, we took turns to play 2-3 rounds each before we sat down to chat with Evan.
It has been a while since we met so we have quite a bit to talk about.
It was a great night of games and chats since we it has been a while all of us can make it together to a gathering.
I guess we will have to wait another 5-6 months till the next time we can all gather together again since Evan will only be back by then.
