T time

After a few late nights and one overnight in my cold, heartless office, I finally claimed my off. I must say that I'm extremely lucky to have not got re-infected from all the hard work and stress. It's over, and I hope that the next cycle is too far off even for my imagination.

While having high-tea with Mum at Goodwood today, I read up on the most buzzed-about dining hotspots from Tatler. And surprise surpise, Number 1 happened to be a joint Kimono and I visited last weekend.

From its humble parking space, one would hardly be able to imagine the hidden haven at the top of the hill. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who gave us a short tour of the haven's premise - the Library was the room that left the deepest impression on me (maybe coz I'm a geek :D) He sat us at the Balcony, overlooking the greens and fountain.

I did not have high expectations of the US-Viet fare on its menu, coz it was touted as more of a watering/chilling joint, than a dining spot. Boy, was I surprised yet again. The skewers, burger, down to the fries, were so well-cooked and thoroughly marinated, that even the near-recovery me wanted more :D The only not-so-satisfying dish was the Guiness Pie - maybe coz it was served after we finished our mains (when it was meant to be a starter :p)

I'm glad that we forsook going to Dempsey >:)
