TGIF

Friday night was dinner with A at my favourite restaurant Cicada. She was late because of work and was apologetic. Friend and restaurant manager V recommended Yarden Sparkling Chardonnay from Golan Heights, Israel.

A came in a red coat and below that was a black one piece dress with long sleeves. It looked pretty decent and I noticed she had some make up.. unlike the first time we met when she had not worn any.

A likes cheese so starters consisted of some goat and blue cheese, as well as Moroccan crab cakes and mushroom and chorizo in olive oil.

For main, it was scallop risotto, which I earlier saw on another table and thought they were potatoes. That's how big the scallops were.

Wine was Yarden's pinot noir. It was so good I asked for a bottle to be reserved for my next visit, as they only had 5 bottles left.

A had worked for only 4 years since graduation and had read philosophy, so we had something in common to talk about.

Finished off with a nice glass of Amaretto on the rocks. It was already past 1am so A had to take a cab home. Until we meet again...
