We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

after a depressing endless wk at work, p suggested eating sth gd.so we cabbed down to 111 somerset! the Singapore Powers bldg! *pix are all taken with hp cams. yes i <3<3<3 dessert but why are American food also so big portion such that i have no space for dessert thereafter!
yay we are at the applebees! i first had it with steph, smallbell, jialin etc in NY on a cold rainy night and fell in love with applebees on first bite! =) so i was so excited when i realise its abt to open and I'll peep whenever my bus pass by it. and there was one day we realise its open and we eagerly walked over from 313 somerset only to realise it is for friends n family kinda trial run.
dynamite prawn! wot a name! we were super hungry and quickly devoured this. it has the right kinda tangy-ness and there's salad below it which gives it the right mix of crunch! yumyum. 2 thumbs up.
half of the menu consisted of beef and we are non-beef eaters so we ordered this baby back ribs. half rack marinated with special applebees sauce. there are actually 3 kind of sauces to choose from. but sad to say, this has been a disappointment, the ribs were slightly on the dry side and P even commented that Cafe Cartel ribs tasted better?!!
lastly this is my main course. grilled cheesy tilapia served on almond rice. this is actually nt bad. its more often that not that one tend to get dry grilled fish, but this was juz right, prob cos the cheese on top keeps it warm n fuzzy =) but it can gt jelat after 5bites. i counted OK. so p ate everything fish + ribs. hahaha.
tho the food is not the best, the service standard is immaculate, i asked for warm water and the waiter when he came ard to refill our water, actually made the effort to feel if my water was warm b4 he proceed to refill, unlike other restaurants staff who'll ignorantly pour iced water into a warm water cup ||-_- they also came by to ask how was the food. but i felt that they weren't super sincere in asking cos he was like bypassing and asking how was the food so i didn't bother giving him my 2c worth. the restaurant was full hse when we reached at 8pm tho. the portions are huge! highly recommend sharing! =)
I'd still like to go again cos i nvr gt to eat the dessert.
