We did not plan for some exotic places, as we were booked for a movie in Marina Square- Girl who kicked the hornets nest! I was so thrilled when I knew that the 2 michs were fellow fans of Lisbeth! Lisbeth was my new heroine, and she had my dream job - Hacker. My secret fantasy was that I could be the best hacket in the world, hacked into any network and best of all, banks, so that I could transfer other people's money into my account! hahahhaa
Girl who kicked the hornest nest was the last part of the Trilogy books by Stieg Larsson. I watched the first moive - Girl with a Dragon Tatoo and i fell in love with the character, Lisbeth. She was not your typically kind of goody heroine. She had character, and style, hmm, well, some might not agree. I missed the second movie, somehow there was no advertisement on this movie, and was exclusive to Golden Village. I made it up by reading the book...Man, it was mind blowing!! If you have not read it, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee read it now!!
We settled for Olio Cafe in Marina Square. Had not been to Olio for proper meal, my impression of them was that they served decent coffee and desserts. Our mains:
Grilled Fish with Salsa. The Salsa was great, served as a great appertiser, and it took away any fishy taste..
Chicken Pie. It was big, but it was not crisy enough. I think that Country Manna was still the champion of this type of pie. The curry was good though.
Grilled Chicken, rather average, the fish was better.
Cheese cake
Ah, this was the star of the night! Brownie on hot plate. First time I saw brownie served on hotplate, sizzling hot plate. The waitress poured the chocolate sauce onto the brownie, creating the sizzling effect..ssiiiiiiiissssiiii..and Mich went " WOWOWOWOWO, i want this" Mich and I bet that she was secretly delighted when the pie that she ordered was sold out, because without battling her eyelid, she said " Then I will change my order to the brownie" Can you see that the peanuts were flying?? Special effect.. :-)We went for our movies after the dinner, not without some road blocks as one of the Mich were lost, in Marina Square...Hahhaa
Can you see the bubbles? The white piece of block was Ice Cream!!! Hot and cold, perfect contrast, challenging your taste buds. A bit too sweet for me, but i love the sizzling hot plate.
