Off we went to TOTO Seafood to welcome K's short jaunt into town for the festive season. I know riiiight, this is like my fifth visit there in two weeks. It's really my to-go casual restaurant with friends who share similar tastebuds. We really love the ambience and the decent food, and most of all, Choya could come along. Went easy on the drinks. Well, nothing heavy. We had beer to start, and also brought a bottle of Oban Distiller's Edition (distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2019), and paid a reasonable corkage. They had no soda, but cheerfully offered plenty of ice cubes and iced water.
Everyone had a big lunch and it'll be a looong two months of mad feasting. We decided not to over-do the cholesterol and wisely skipped the crabs and fishhead curry tonight. K missed our local zi char food. Opted for a big plate of prawns steamed with Chinese wine and garlic, san low (style) beehoon, har jeong chicken wings, spare ribs, sweet potato leaves in black bean sauce, and stir-fried qing long vegetables. Nobody wanted too much meats, but we loved the chye poh and soy steamed white snapper.
We did great with the bottle of whisky — we finished it. Well, it wasn't a full bottle of whisky to begin with. Heh. Then the boys still wanted a small plate of chicken and pork satay at the end of the meal to nibble with the rest of the whisky. Ha! No satay for me, thanks. I finished up the fish and was so stuffed.
