Binge & Booze Nites!

Been happily busy bingeing & boozing this week .... My tummy is protesting .... and not to mention my ever widening girth :P

Anyway, this was the humungous ice cream & brownie from Hard Rock Cafe. Two scoopes of ice cream on top of a warm and not-too-rich brownie in this big plastic cup. The plastic cup made it feel quite kiddy / cheapo but I have to say the brownie is delicious! That coldness of the ice cream followed by the warm sensation when you bite into the thin crust of the brownie ..... Heaven ... :)
Ok, the food was passable. The fish & chips looked average. Definitely not worth the $22.50. I much preferred Dan Ryan's. The booze ? Uhm ... forgettable.
I can't even recall the last time I was @HRC. Perhaps over 10 years ago. Why HRC ? Well, I didn't get to visit the HRC @ Bangkok so decided to head there after work on one of the week nites for some yak with friend.

And ... I ... finally ... tried ... Botak Jones! Ha! Yep. Its almost embarrassing that I've yet to try this famous joint! Well, I was surprised when my never-into-western-food-especially-burgers friend suggested dinner @ Botak Jones. Ok he tossed several other jiak suggestions with Mac being one of them. I sweared I almost punched him about the Mac thing. Mac?!?! That's like the last thing I would ever eat. Pls, I'm not a kid. Frankly, even my niece & nephew aren't interested in the golden arch.

Anyway I digressed. The place was crowded but thankfully the queue wasn't (guess the novelty had worn off after so long). You queue to place your order and pay up when the food is served. I was told that it would be an estimated 20 to 30 mins wait but the food didn't took half that long to arrive.

Between us we had a caesar salad (didn't like it. Too unhealthy looking with the overly generous sprinkle of the cheese and thus too salty), pork italian sausage (I'm not big on sausage so I can't comment but the sausage is HUGE - again too salty for me) and the thai chicken burger (which is what I had. Its yummy).
Perhaps I went with no expectation after reading many reviews about it being over-rated. Anyway, for a simple meal I thought the burger was alright. The fries were commendable! Definitely chunky, freshly deep fried. Yumz!

And oh, I still enjoy the easy relaxing feel at Wala's.
