Dinner @ The Wine Company

Mama's friend, Auntie Florence suggested a new dining place for us to try and Papa and Mama brought Gwendolyn along for this ad hoc friday dinner! When we arrived, Mama couldn't find Auntie Florence's booking. Instead, could only find a booking under "Mr Lawrence", but with Auntie Florence's phone number recorded! There must have been a mistake! We went in to find ourselves in an old bungalow, with small floor tiles, full-housed restaurant! Surprisingly full for a remote location, near the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

When we sat down, Uncle Mark called the shots and suggested quite a few dishes, with Lyn Lyn asking for mushroom soup.

When the appetizers arrived, the adults couldn't wait, but to indulge into the sinful cheese and deep fried dishes...the food is reasonably priced and quite palatable! The cheese dip and platters were great! It's not easy to have a group of friends, who enjoy eating cheese so much!

The main course were good, except for the Hawaiian pizza, as it tasted a little dry. Contrarily, the spinach pizza was yummy, just like eating quiche! The surprise was the lamb dish, where it didn't look palatable at all, but ended up being our favourite!

Not to forget about dessert, where we've ordered another 4 to end the meal with...

This was a pleasant surprise and we'd definitely coming back. Let alone the white wine that we've had, which Lyn Lyn didn't shy away from having a drop and liked it!

What's the highlight of the night? Not only the food, but Lyn Lyn going round the table, playing kiddy games with all the adults! What were the games? Thumbkin fighting and "Siu Ming" (a Hong Kong childhood game, involving the clapping of hands!)! It was a fun scene that she was getting everyone, including all the uncles to play with her. But it seemed that everyone was enjoying that bit of kiddish fun too!

After dinner, the adults still wanted a round of karaoke. Lyn Lyn tagged along and sang some songs with us. What did she sing? Not just Mary had a Little Lamb and all, but A Whole New World, I Have a Dream, Edelweiss, etc etc...not bad eh! However, when she sang some kiddy Chinese songs, it gave Uncle Mark a shock of his life! Never sang in karaoke before...but here you go!
