Xmas Eve with 我们 minus one ...

We had dinner again on Xmas eve, yes, the day after that huge meal! But we talked about it even b4 we planned Christine's so we went ahead with it. KL gave a budget, so we had to scraped the atas dinner we had originally talked about. He had a friend working at the newly opened Olio at Suntec so we decided to go there and have their $28++ set Xmas menu.

While waiting for Evon, we had an appetizer but unfortunately since I did not have my camera, no pic. Well, the pic is on WD's camera. The appetizer was really yummy.

---

Pumpkin Soup with Crab and Pine Nuts. I really enjoyed the soup, there was a small portion of crab meat and the nuts added a little bite to the dish.

---

It was either the soup or the salad. Evon was the only one that had the salad. But it looked pretty good with its nice portion of tuna.

---

Then it was either the Turkey with Ham which Evon and WD had.

---

Or the Salmon and King Prawns that the rest of us had. I enjoyed this too, the polenta was yummy, not dry, salmon grilled to nice and crisp. The prawns were a little small, but nice anyways. Huiyi said that they were over done but I did not think so .... or maybe I was just starving!

---

Olio Brownie compliments of KL's friend. We were given 2. This was sinful!! There was ice cream between 2 pieces of brownie, served on a hot plate, with chocolate syrup poured over it and topped with nuts! I'm so glad i was with Evon and WD side as I knew I would have to fight KL over it :)

---

This was the brownie the came with the set. Not as exciting but good nonetheless. The set also included a glass of wine ... YUM! Overall, not too bad for the price. Would consider going back there and trying the rest of the menu.

After dinner we made our way to our second destination .... KL wanted Starbucks but I REFUSED!! Haha, no way am I going to spend Xmas eve at a coffee place, we have coffee all the time, plus, he picked dinner, the rest of us get to pick part 2. I'm sure WD, Evon and Ben were with me on it .... Huiyi was Switzerland .. haha.

---

We ended at a bar across from Starbucks ....

---

KL looks a little drunk here ... hmm, I think this was b4 his beer.

---

CHEERS!!!!

---

Xmas with friends .....

---

We asked Sharon to joined us but unfortunately she only made it after midnight. But we still had fun.

---

KL left already as he was catching the bus home. The rest of us are cab takers :) I would rather pay the extra and get home in reasonable time. His bus ride takes more than an hr!

---

The bar closed at 2am and so we headed over to Xin Wang which was opened 24hrs.

---

Haha, decided to take a "couple" shot .... there was a running joke from the nite b4 that we were married and when we were seated, I said out loud that I wanted to sit beside my husband and the waiter thought I was for real ... haha. Well, we do match! PINK!!

By the time I got home, it was past 3am ... tired but had a great time. Need to stay away from food for awhile, my clothes are getting tight! ARGH!!

*Thanks to Evon for all the pics. My sis had the camera but she did not take any pics!!!*
