Cicada

Just got back from our monthly posh dinners. Aileen, Maha, Kat and I started this posh tradition just last month and albeit expensive though this tradition may be, i'm finding myself looking forward to this monthly treat we have.

Last September, we went Italian at Vinotica in posh Roponggi Area. That being our first time, we didn't realize we need to make a reservation to have the best places in the resto. Hence, we found ourselves being seated in front of the kitchen. But mind you, as the place was posh, it wasn't really as bad as it might seem. Food and wine there was great though there's just one thing you have to keep in mind before eating there: serving is so measly you shouldn't be ravenously hungry and should have had a bite before going there. haha. Else, you'll find yourself scrimping the last morsel of the pricey food they have. That was also our first experience of buying a bottle of very pricey water at 500 yen per 500ml. hahaha.

Tonight's dinner was organized by Kat. And having had our lessons learned from before, we made our reservations and hence got one of the best seats in the place. And goodness the food there is great!! Cicada is Mediterranean style by the way hence, they have Spanish, Greek, Italian and some other Mediterranean selections. Serving is of right quantity as well so we went home quite satisfied even with the amount we paid for it. Water was much pricier this time at 800 yen per bottle haha but believe me, it's the best tasting water i've ever tasted. I've never would have imagined that I could decipher differences in water but yes one could and with the water we ordered, it was so smooth you can actually feel its texture run through your mouth, to your throat, to your stomach. Haha, okay i'm exaggerating a bit. But. It. Was. Good. So good we were kidding that we shouldn't be surprised if it costs the same with either of the two bottles of wine we ordered (had Spanish White wine and Sparkling Wine this time).

And as usual, like last month, after dinner, we headed to Starbucks to chat a bit more, and well, to split up the payment for our dinner which was paid, like last time, by Aileen.

Sooo looking forward for our next posh monthly dinner! I wish though it'll be the dinner package with Cirque de Soliel..hehe..

ps
I had my second session on armpit laser. And believe me, there really is a marked difference. Haha.
