Joyce signed up too but sad to say, she didn't get it.
Thank you SMRT and Nuffnang for giving me the chance to go!!
Presenting you SMRT Makan Session @ Holland Village with BongQiuQiu !!!
So, early morning on the 25th of Saturday, headed down towards Holland V to meet up with the others who were going.
It was awkward, for me.
It's kinda saddening to me that people came in groups or pair while I am all there alone, not knowing any one there.
There was this other girl there alone too, so we talked and accompany each other. Jane.
I was rushing out, kinda, so I didn't bring tonton's camera along and have to rely on my pathetic iPhone.
Am gonna steal photos here and there to post.
Had a group shot right below the MRT sign.

It was actually my second time there, the very first time was after graduation with the parents.
I do not remember how the food taste like or anything there other than the service, which I will talk about later.

Got to know two other girls on the same table and realise they were there alone too.
KaMan and Cxindy.
That's her real name, I think the spelling is really cool.
Our table and a photo with Qiuting.
She is really nice and all, chatted and joked with everyone.
It was kinda sad and a little -.- .
Obviously the place knew we were coming but they have limited sets for us to choose.
and the bread came after the soup was served, I finished at least half of the soup already.
Not to mention, the butter only arrive when we finished the soup.
OH, and there was a worm in Cxindy's ice water, but the waitress took her reaction as a "I don't want it" instead of checking why.
She wanted a change actually, and we have to ask for another cup of water for her.
There was also the sprite incident which was a miscommunication.
and a random elephant.
This is what we had in the goodie bag
It was fun and it's really nice to make new friends plus eating good food.
Food was 4/5
Place 4/5 I really like the ambient but it's a really stuffy outside, I was practically sweating like crazy.
Service 2.5/5
Sorry, but even from the first time I went there, I didn't think the service was great.
Once again, thank you Nuffnang and SMRT!
On a side note, here's the book

Salad that Cxindy choose over the soup.
It was a little too "green" and the dressing was too sour.

Mine! Roasted chicken. The serving is HUGEEEE, like huge load.
There was like one serving of cheesy rice plus a serving of chicken.
Obviously I couldn't finish them, but I know people like Tonton and Javen could. #foreverhungry
Cxindy and KaMan had lamb which looks really nice.
They said the wedges were really crunchy.

Some of what the others had, Salmon and Pasta.
Followed by dessert! (The one shown on the photo of the menu)

| lemon meringue tart |
Was really glad that instagram did me well :)
Overall, the food was really nice. Big portion, good combination, delicious.
*Thumbs up* I really liked it and wouldn't mind eating more, IF, my stomach works like a black hole or a vacuum.
Handed out goodies bags to us and we had a quiz on SMRT Circle Line.

It's a book called " The End Of Char Kway Teow" by Dr. Leslie Tay a.k.a ieatishootipost !!
It's really thick and the first page I flipped to was the Crabs section.
Talk about coincidence, Duval and the others were talking about crabs days ago.
Had photo taking session afterwards.
