Tosca

We also had a night to celebrate with our good friend, Jigger, the groom to be.  At the same time, celebrating the arrival of another good friend, Jerome.  So the gang got together at Tosca.  I personally like the restaurant.  It is beautifully done, nice ambience, peaceful and the food is great! Thanks to my friend, Ton and to Elbert for telling us about this place also in Dusit Hotel.

Benjarong

Welcoming our friend Jerome as he had just arrived from the States.  He wanted Asian food so we went to Benjarong in Dusit Hotel.  It was really good!!  And what is nice about the hotel is that it is quiet and peaceful. It had also been renovated recently.    

We had a great dinner! benjarong-1a.jpgdsc_8820.JPG

Max Brenner

We were invited to have dessert by a friend, Dan,  known as “Mr. Max”, who actually fits in very well in the place :-) Thanks Dan!!  We get along so well with Dan because he is fun to be with and just like us enjoys EATING!  and has a blog too called Thainese Take Out ( as he lives in Thailand ) which is all about food :-)

We went to Max Brenner after we had eaten in Gilak by Hossein.    So you can imagine how full we were already so we ended up ordering just drinks.  I liked the drink containers they were using.. the HUG MUG and the DRINK ME mug!  Very fun! 

We were first introduced to Max Brenner inside Harrod’s in March of 2002 by our good friends, Suharto and Rina, during our visit to London.  We had the Fondue which is one of their specialities and Heart2Heart’s favorite.

Pink Kitchen 2008 by ICanServe

Congratulations to ICanServe  on a very successful event!  Every year, it gets better and better!  There were so many people who helped organize the event, so many volunteers who came to lend a helping hand and so many people who attended the event.  The place was jam packed!  I hope that Rockwell puts up a bigger tent so we can have a bigger venue for Pink Kitchen 2009 :-)

We tried out the new restaurant at Power Plant Mall at Rockwell, Astralis.
