The Wilful Sunflower

I was supposed to start off the day by having breakfast with a friend, but she called up last night to cancel, so I got to sleep in. Good thing, too -- I needed the extra rest, coz I had a lunch appointment at 1:30pm, did some Christmas shopping, then attended a former colleague's housewarming party at 4:30pm, and had dinner with Lady Snoflek at 7:30pm. All in all, a pretty full day.

What I thought was an ordinary dinner with a friend turned out to be a belated birthday treat; when Lady Snoflek said she was paying coz she hadn't properly celebrated my birthday with me, I was like, "But... but my birthday was in AUGUST!" hahaha. Aiyo, she's so hilarious la. I had no idea that was still preying on her mind after all this while!

So we went to Secret Recipe for dinner. Lady Snoflek had the grilled mushroom chicken:

I had the Irish lamb stew. I am boring, so I usually order the same thing every time I eat here. I love Secret Recipe's Irish lamb stew:

For dessert, we had a banana split. I know, I know, it's almost a crime to go to Secret Recipe and not have one of their delectable cakes, but their cakes tend to be very rich and jelak -- not the kind of thing I'd like to have after a full meal -- so I decided in favour of ice-cream instead.
