Plug

For some reason - probably wishful thinking - I thought it was going to be warm today. So here I am at work in my skirt and short sleeved top shivering in the air conditioning and knowing that it's only going to be colder outside. So to warm myself up I've been doing research on Cambodia. Seems like I can do my dive license over there for way cheap, the only problem being that it's quite time consuming and I'm not sure I want to spend 2 of the few days I will have there waterlogged - what if I hate it! Yeh, this post is turning into a bit of a journal entry so I'm changing the subject.

Last night I finally got around to visiting the little Thai restaurant on Goodwood Rd that my housemate recommended to me yonks ago. It was really fabulous! Small and tucked away and just comfy inside - it has a nice 'ammmmbi-ance' as my friend and I were fond of saying afterwards with ridiculously posh English accents. And it was yum. And it was cheap. $28 for two people including starters. Of course we were vego so the meals were cheaper, but even the meat dishes were cheap as. After the meal, and this was the clincher for me, they served complimentary after dinner mints! Never in my life have I seen such a thing. I have heard of after-dinner mints of course, seen them in the chocolate shelves at the supermarket, but I have never had one given to me at a restaurant and I assumed it was one of those services of the past, like pulling your chair out for you, bringing water to the table without being asked, taking your order at the table rather than making you line up like you're in a school cafeteria... Yeah, that's such bullshit, all those cafes on Rundle St where you pay through the nose and don't get any service, you have to do everything yourself, even carry your own drinks to the table!

Anyway, a big 5 star rating for the Manee Siem Thai Restaurant on Goodwood Rd. (they do takeaway!)
