Grilled Steak & Veggies at Viio Gastropub

Since we were in the neighborhood, we texted the friends to see if they were free to meet after walking their dog. We keep doing quick meets with them at the dog parks in the mornings, but we haven't had sat down for a coffee or had a meal with them in a few months. Tonight was a good night as any to try our luck. They were free! And they wanted to ask if there was a chance we were nearby and could do dinner. Hahaha. Perfect. This 6.45pm dinner timing suited us well too. 

Met G and M at Viio Gastropub for an evening of steak and drinks. The table wasn't in the mood for wine, we didn't order any 'sets' that came with a bottle of red. Had many cute easy half-pints of beer so that people could get to the stout later as dessert. I decided to go alcohol-free and gulped down its refreshing bottle of pandan cooler with lots of ice cubes.

Nobody was interested in pasta that evening. Nobody wanted carbs! What a surprise. Heh. We wanted something robust yet light. Hahaha. Yeah, a table of difficult diners. So 'robust and light' translated into meats and some veggies, no carbs. Ordered a simply grilled tomahawk with two sides of roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables. These were great for the tastebuds, and were merrily shared by four people. There were no leftovers.
