Woke up early yesterday to a rough start, tummy problems ... @#$%%^ ...again!! However, by the time I was done with my make-up, getting dressed etc .. I felt much better. Nothing is going to keep me from watching the much anticipated 'Sex and the City 2' (yes!! I know it's been showing at the cinemas for ages, we are a tad 'outdated'..but what the heck!!)..*laughs* . W and I drove down to the City, well...Pavilion to be exact, in time for the 12 pm show.
I must say, being an avid follower of Sex and the City on HBO, the movie and hence, the sequel..Sex and the City 2 is the bomb!! Truly enjoyed the shoes, amazing clothes worn by the cast and the movie, of course. Despite the annoying Chinese a**holes sitting behind us (conversing in Mandarin throughout the movie and constantly kicking our chairs), we had a blast. Ohh... and I loveeeeee Carrie's apartment *hearts*, the new one, obviously with that extensive and to-die-for walk-in wardrobe!!!!
After the 2 hour movie, I was starving so we headed to the third floor of Pavilion and decided to have the late lunch at Athena, a modern Mediterranean restaurant.

W, who was actually craving for Starbucks coffee (but they didn't allow outside food and beverages) had to settle for a cappucino here instead, which according to her, sucked .. (Sorry, W!!). As for me, I opted for a cold, glass of Heineken since it was happy hour.. =) There's actually a 'Buy 1 free 1' promotion at Athena but I just had 1 .. unlike the old, alcoholic me! *grins*
* W's Cappucino (which sucked, btw and the platter was stained ... Yeap! Points minus for this place) *
* Heineken for me, of course!! *
As for food, we decided to have some soup and a pasta to share. The Prawn Cajun soup was absolutely delicious, a spicy broth served with rice (which is actually the yellow stuff you see on top of the broth). The mushroom carbonara was pretty decent. Service wise, however, needed some improvements .. but wth, we're in Malaysia, aren't we? Ok...must not get into that frustrating topic ..Ha ha ..

A bit of backdated post ... And yes!! Haha... more food porn .. Met up with an ex-colleague, C, for lunch on Tuesday. We decided to pay Empire Shopping Centre (latest mall in Subang area) a visit and Pasta Zanmai (Italian + Japanese fusion) was the place of choice.. or should I say! I was actually craving for Japanese... Hehe..
We've had loads of lunches together at Pasta Zanmai, so we decided to try something that we haven't tried before - Salmon something something (Excuse the forgetful me!!) pasta and the Scallop pizza, which were both absolutely delicioussss. Especially the pizza!!

After an hour or so of indulging and catching up, we asked for the bill. Much to my surprise, instead of going Dutch, generous C said the treat was on her. Thanks a bunch, C!!! My turn, next!!
