Harry's Bar

Was suppose to go for a swim but just really didn't want to go and weather was just tooooo cold. Last minute arranged to have lunch with friend. Weather has been pretty bad whole week, it was so cold in the office I even had to wear my jacket to meet him for lunch. He was wondering why I was so formally dressed haha

I wasn't in the best of moods and wanted some place to chill, so finally settled for Harry's Bar. Lunch partner had the beef pie which looked quite nice, too bad I don't take beef so couldn't try it. The pastry crust wasn't to his liking, but loads of meat he said. I ordered the sinful chicken burger, recommended by the wait staff. Burger was yummy, but the shoestring fries were a huge disappointment. Friend ordered a beer to go with his lunch, argh ... I was sooooo tempted to do the same but thought the better of it. Better stick to water during office hours. :P

I had this for dessert all by myself. Chocolate cake with ice cream.
As usual friend couldn't match my hearty gluttony appetite :P
It was alright. In all, food was nondescript, but I was just glad to have some company to save me from my own grumpiness. It was a nice place to chill as we got a seat away from the crowd so it was quite peaceful.

Recently had a chat with some friends who started talking about lunches and how they dislike spending too much or meeting certain friends as one meal with them would actually be many times of what they would have spent on a normal lunch. I felt ashamed upon hearing this conversation as I definitely overspend on my meals. Ok, I'll prolly grow old poor and eating bread crumbs ... I know I have to be more thrifty, but sometimes I really just couldn't care less. Strike a balance, strike a balance ...
