Barking up the right Tree

Tapas Tree that is. spent a wonderful evening with B. there. it's a Spanish restaurant at Clarke Quay.

we ordered toasted bread with pesto (simple, delicate, beautiful) and 3 tapas: baby octopus (slightly on the salty side, but otherwise ok...), chicken sauteed with garlic and paprika (another simple and elegant dish) and creamy sole fish (thick, rich but not overly so. and there were mushrooms in them!). and both of us had a caipirinha (i think that's how it's spelt), which is a marvellous brazillian cocktail with brazillian rum (whose brazillian name i don't know how to spell...), brown sugar, lime and crushed ice...

there was life music which was absolutely divine. and conversation was great and free flowing (except for the times when B. got carried away in the floating melody of the live band...).

most importantly... B. enjoyed the evening. the walk after that was... very soothing. a great way to end the evening and the week.

i'm fortunate to have good friends like B.

p.s. B. in this post does not refer to BOng. though BOng's a good friend too...
