Night at Chilli’s

On Friday I went for dinner with Jared Ee, Kei Fai, Sen Loong and Joanna  Chia after work. I had agreed to meet them up at One Utama, however I did not know how to get there by bus. Therefore, Jared and Kei Fai had been kind enough to meet me at the Taman Paramount LRT station before taking me to the bus stop about a kilometre away.

It was around 6.30 PM by the time we arrived at One Utama and we rendezvoused with Joanna and Sen Loong. We had a light chat first before deciding where to go for our dinner. I suggested Chilli’s because I had always wanted to give it a try, but Chilli’s in KLCC was always full. Now that there is a Chilli’s in One Utama, I wouldn’t want to give it a miss!

When we arrived at Chilli’s, we were informed that we needed to wait for about sixteen minutes before we could be seated. Therefore, I took the opportunity to go to the MPH Bookstores to purchase some gifts for my two uncles and my father in conjunction with Father’s Day.

After purchasing a CD, I made my way back to Chilli’s after Jared told me that they were seated already. At the restaurant, I looked through the menu which sounded quite foreign to me. After a while, I had decided that I would have the chicken and mushroom soup as starters, followed by the Fajitas and Grilled Beef as entrees. The rest ordered spaghetti, fish and chips, and some lamb chops.

We couldn’t resist ordering the Totsada Chips (is that how you spell it?) as you could refill it for as much as you want, and it tasted great (of course, only if you dip it into the sauce provided)!

Let the pictures do the talking now:

Totsada Chips

Fajitas with Grilled Beef. It's a lot of food, even for me! Cost me roughly RM35.00

Apparently, this is the Fajitas (pronounced as "Fahitas"?). It is to be eaten...

... together with this. You put some sour cream, grated cheese, lettuce, whip cream, etc. onto the Fajitas, roll it up, and give it a munch. Simple but delicious!

Grilled beef. A little dry, I admit, but still fragrant and the vegetables below them are great!

Jared had this, but could only finish up the fish.

Kei Fai's and Sen Loong's lamb dish. Irresistible!

Joanna ordered this spaghetti dish. Looks lovely, and she gave a lot to Sen Loong, too.

A happy, contented group.

After dinner, I went to MPH to purchase the remaining gifts and after that all of us made our way to Sen Loong’s car parked at the basement.

In the car, we had our own conversation and it was nice to know that finally there is a friend who can speak engineering in the same wavelength as I do. Joanna studies materials engineering while I study civil engineering. However, we have some subjects in common and it is nice to be able to share some ideas. I actually marvelled at Sen Loong’s navigational skills because while I am totally lost in the complicated roads of Kuala Lumpur, Sen Loong had no problem getting his way around.

We arrived at TAR College to drop off Joanna first, then Sen Loong drove me to the Wangsa Maju LRT station and dropped me off there. Thank you Sen Loong for the ride!

From Wangsa Maju, I took the train to Terminal Putra where my car is parked. From there, I went home, feeling happy and relaxed, knowing that the next day was a Saturday.
