Lunch Partners Revived

T'was a great lunch we had today.. and up came this blog-versation idea.. a blog conversation.. we're supposed to write from our perspective about what happened, our views and our thoughts..

The Pre Lunch Preparations:

Paul0S : Lunch plans started easily enough when CC initiated Lunch plans for today.. saying that since it was my last day.. we should go to somewhere I liked. Choosing a place was not easy.. because we had each gone to different places individually over the past 2 weeks. A&w, McDonald's, Khasiat Cafe and pork filled places were out of the question.. in the end we decided to go to the Malay food place in Damansara Kim.. where we LunchPartners Corp was formed...


The Lunch Proceedings :

Paul0S : We arrived at destination and Lo and Behold.. the fav foodie place was closed.. so we opted for another foodie stall at the end of the block. We each ordered our foodie of choice.. Food was so-so and slightly above average price.. And we got down to noshing our food down. And we talked and talked. about work, and then an interesting topic came up.. Dating.. When is a date .. a date ? and when is it just hanging out? ... .over to you CC... :D

Ariel aka CC : Right, thanks for passing on the juicy part of the post to me, PaulOS. Well, that question came up because something which I thought was just hanging out turned out to be a date and I felt really conned. Like being ripped off, y'know? It was a last minute thing (dates are normally planned out in advance, no?), he invited himself to my activity, we were having dinner and suddenly he went all mushy and stuff. Totally unexpected (I nearly choked on my meal) and I wondered if there was a way I could have done it differently.

Do people need to spell out clearly if what they doing is classified as 'hanging out' or 'a date'? Or do they just go with the flow and if the other party doesn't respond favourably, to take a gracious step back and still salvage the friendship somehow?

Oh about lunch, my salted fish fried rice wasn't that great. I'll give it a 2/5. Over to you, PaulOS or Moni G to share your gold ingots of thoughts.

Hehehe.

Cable-D

I just had lunch yesterday at dis place at Jaya Supermarket Sec 14.. Cable Car
It was a farewell lunch for me as I am leaving my current job. 11 of us went there and we were immediately seated.

We immediately sat down and looked at the Menus and Set Lunch menus
All of us were enticed with the set lunch menu :
1. Soup Do Jour - Onion soup
2. Roasted Chicken or Beef with Rice
3. Dessert - Green Bean Soup
4. Coffee orTea

10 of us chose to get the Roasted Chicken and what did we get.. some soggy-sorry-for-an-excuse-roasted chicken...
Onion Soup was so so
Dessert - Bleah
Coffee- bland

But i must say that a few times when I was there before.. what tasted ok was
Local dishes: Chicken curry & rice, Char koay teow, Cantonese mee. Indian Mee
Western dishes : Chicken cordon bleu

So be forwarned choose the safe foodies.. Set Lunches are a rip-off..

Taste : 2 - Thank God the French Fries were OK
Value for Money : 2.5
Ambience : 3.5
Service : 3 (Old curtains.. but cool place)
Parking : 3 (At the MBPJ parking not Jaya Supermarket)

So the verdict is 2.8



This is the only picture I got from the trip was when we were in the car..
