And then..............IT SNOWED!!!
The whole point of going to US and to NEW York in particular was to see snow.. hehe..
and it was snowing like non-stop for the whole day :( and sadly for us.. we had to postpone all our original plans and wasted our tour pass.. because all the outdoor attractions were all closed.. it was the heaviest snow shower for the winter that day!! how lucky are we?!?! haha

All of us at the top of Empire State Building on the last day..

well... at least we got the see the Statue of Liberty from far on the last day!! haha... better than nothing at all...

hi everyone!! i havent been updating for months!! and thought i would tell people how im doing here so i dont have to tell each and everyone..

but i dont have much time left now.. i got another job at the restaurant later.. so just a brief update :)

im working in MAster Designer Florist.. in Naples, Florida, Full time.. then on 3 days a week at night.. i would work in a chinese restaurant as a server :) and to tell u the truth.. being a server or a waitress here is no easy job at all!! u do everything.. and sometimes get paid like 2 bucks tips.. haha which is hardly anything.. but sometimes u get big fat tips like 10 bucks! heheh... but then i have to pool the tips with 2 other Mexican ladies that works there too.and both are the best mexican ladies i know.. and my boss in the chinese restaurant in a Taiwanese :D

MY manager in the FLorist is a Bulgarian girl, and like a sister to me here.. she takes good care of me.. brings me to dinner.. shopping for groceries.. and everything else.. im really kinda lucky in away things turned out this way.. and my boss is an Egyptian guy.. who is now in Russia but will be back in 3 days.. hahaha

I live with my manager and also another Russian girl, in a house.. which the rental is actually killing me!! hahaha... so i need to work hard! but its comfortable.. has everything.. and is like 30 steps away from the flower shop.. haha so i get up at 8.30am and get to worka t 9am.. hgahah...

Sky Bar

2007-10-09T00:06:00.000+08:00

Its been a while!! haha.. ive been to so many places but without camera.. so i didnt blog about anything...

Just a quick update! i have finally graduated!! finished my internship~ was a really great one.. was pretty sad to leave my company.. but not at all leaving work! haha... so to celebrate my graduation --sort of-- me and some of my friends went to SkyBar :) at Trader's Hotel

Sky bar is known for its view from the 33rd floor of Trader's Hotel, and the view is not at all disspointing. :)

The whole concept of Sky bar could be classy and also unique with a pool in the middle of the bar, and comfortable couches and seats for group of friends and such. First impression when u stepped in would be like... "wow... nice place".. but probbaly 15 minutes after that, you might wish u could take off your clothes, because its pretty stuffy in there, and there's no air conditioning.. at all.. we were so warm we asked the staff to maybe lower down the temperature or something, but he said that there was no air conditioning.. but given that the ventilation of air isnt that well there, its pretty warm at times. Probably it depends on where u sit in the bar.. maybe some other places might be better :)

The drinks are nothing to shout about. Price of drinks are normal, as compared to other bars, cocktails ranges from RM 26 to RM 50++.

Hello Again~

2007-07-15T00:43:00.000+08:00

Hey!! i know i havent been updating for ages! First, because i was busy, then i got no internet access :(

I know im supposed to blog about Korea, but im so lazy!! probably u guys can go to weizhi, and victor's blog for stories and pictures!! :P

I desperately need to go somewhere with my friends, grab a drink or something!! suggestion people!! and save me from boredom.. haha..

Tiff's Jazz Lounge

2007-05-11T22:25:00.000+08:00

Starhill Gallery has some of the most classy and exquisite restaurants and lounges. We have heard about Tiff's Jazz Lounge since the early opening of it, but never actually went. And finally we decided to give the place a try, on a week before our final exams... haha…We were not allowed to take pictures, but..... being us...... haha... so here's a sneak peak for those who hasnt been there..

Long floral lounge chair...

The lighting colour changes every few minutes ( i didnt notice how long) and it gives a feeling of autumn~! I love autumns!~

During daylight, the place is known as Tiffin Bay, at night, it turns into this very comfortable and relaxing lounging area, with fantastic and breathtaking jazz music played by the live band. I have always love Jazz, and this place is no disappointment at all, the band is really good, singing was great! Both man and lady! And they were singing all our favourite songs! Hahaha.. but, we had to sit very far away from the band, which is the other end of the bay, because the front sit (directly in front of the band stage) is only reserved for YTL platinum card members.. hahaha.. and none of us had that L but our spot was not too bad afterall.. we got to see them.. just far away.. haha.. I had to say though.. it was quite warm there.. I’m not sure if its because of the place we sat, or it is us.. haha..

The Menu

Montes Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile --- Its good~ The waiter susgested that we take this which is on promotion, only for RM 135, and its good.. hahaha..

Wine tastes so much better with a great bunch of friends.....

White Wine also from Chile - Montes Sauvignon Blanc, RM 135

Tortila Chips with Guacamole Sauce - RM 15

Tiffin Special Coffee with marvelous lil piece of cookie -RM 12

Great place to hang out and chit chat....

Me and Rachel

Chialing and Munlin

My gorgeous housemates

The Girls.. Rachel, Munlin, Me, Chialing and Leeping

All that present...

and Yichang with his trademark pose..

We had a great night, well... at least most of us did.. haha.. Rachel and I were at our highest spirits! We havent been hanging out for ages!! (seems ages to me) and we have to do this more often! haha.. dancing and singing! Ahh... a day off studying... how nice... and then its back to books and notes... huhu... but the place is good nonethless... we took quite a number of pics.. but too many pics would spoil the suprise for the place.. so do go check it out yourselves :)

Rum Jungle, Ipoh

2007-05-07T17:09:00.000+08:00

Its been a while since i last met up with Yenyi, my bestie since high school.. so when Hor Mei asked us to join her cousin's birthday party in Rum Jungle, Ipoh, we jumped to it. Rum Jungle Ipoh is not much difference from the one in KL, except that maybe its like three times bigger..and its packed like hell.. yes.. Ipoh is kinda sad.. Rum Jungle is the only decent place to club in Ipoh, so everyone jammed there. haha.. The live band was just ok.. dont really fancy them.. the dj sucked big time though.. haha

but i enjoyed the night nonetheless with my girls..

From left: Yenyi, me, Citygal, and Hor Mei

Me and Hor Mei who will be leaving to UK in June!! We'll be missing u HorMei! Thanx for a great night

Foie Gras

2007-03-05T23:18:00.000+08:00

During Chinese New Year, my parents brought us and my cousins to this fancy restaurant in Ipoh - Indulgence (my fav restaurant!)

We usually have our usuals like pasta, and poultry, or pizza. But on that day, there was Foie Gras on the menu, so we decided to try it out..

Foie Gras in apple caramel and some cranberries sauce i think..

Dont be deceived.. the size of that thing is quite small.. and we shared among us.. haha..
Personally, i do not like it one bit.. haha.. i dont know why it is expensive.. maybe its the way they prepared it.. but its something i have wanted to try for a long time :P

Of the things we had that day.. i love this the most! This chocolate cake is so moist, it melts in your mouth.. awesome!!

Next time you are in Ipoh, give this place a try.. the ambience is really cozy and romantic :) and the food is superb!! i love it there~!

I havent been updating for a long long time, im not sure whether i was too busy or too lazy.. haha.. but here's a summary of what happened in Febuary 2007

1st, Congratulations to my cousin who is happily married..

My family at the wedding, in case u dont know the one at the back is my godsis..

My cousins and I with the bride and groom

Then came Valentine's day, we had dinner with a whole bunch of people, and Chialing Jolyn SiewLi, Aylwin, Chinkuang, Lenard and Lidfong went to Mojo and Mezquite 52 after that.. Mezquite had some renovation done, and its very different from the one we used to love :( but we had fun nonetheless.. too bad i dont have pictures to prove :)

Then it was Chinese New Year.. hehe.. is it me? or is the ang pows fatter this year?? :P

Some pics we took...

Ice Bar - London

2007-01-05T15:51:00.000+08:00

Let me take you into London's..

My secondary classmate, Joanne, who was kind enough to let me stay in her house during my trip brought me to Ice Bar London~!

The menu

We went on a weekday, so the entrance is 12 Pounds, i think it cost like 15 pounds on a weekend. The entrance include one absolutely awesome drink, and the cape and gloves, and chances to see the friendliest bartenders, waiter and waitresses!! The waiters there are really the most friendliest people ive seen, and you can tell they love their job! Great service..

However, if the crowd is big, they limit only 45 minutes per entrance.. but there's really nothing much you can do there, so 45 mins is enough..

The crowd that night

Dont expect the place to be big, its not..its just like a normal living room plus a dining room of a house... ok.. maybe plus another room.. well.. u get the idea..

The only chairs

The bar

The ice bar table

The Drinks....

Absolute Polar Gale - Absolute Vodka with Cloudberry liqueurs and Guava Juice.

The Absolute Below Zero London - The Absolute Mandrin mixed with coffee liqueurs and chocolate, and topped with orange juice. Taste really weird, but i like it nonetheless :P

The bartender gave us a free drink (most right) - Absolute Ice Bar London - Mixture of Absolute Vanilla, cinnamon, Blackberry Liqueurs, and apple juice.

Yeah~~ the glasses are made of ice too.. everything in the bar is made of ice.. haha

My leng chai bartender! Absolutely charming~!

The foreigner

Ice bar is only a part of the whole bar, there's a lounge beside the receiption which is quiet where people chit chat and drink.

The lounge

There's a fine dining restaurant downstairs, where a lot of young people gather and lounge around..

Joanne and I

Cheerz to all!!

I miss UK~!~!~

Still in the Mood for Party~!

2006-12-28T12:07:00.000+08:00

Sorry i have not been updating.. was so busy reading other people's blog that i neglected my own :P

First, i would really want to thank everyone who was there at the party to make it a great night!! the 5 of us are really really grateful~! The party planning was a bit of a mess, and we were quite worried it would not turn out to be good. But that night proved it all wrong~!

We started with making our own retro invitation cards, took us a day long to finish all...

Chialing working~ :P

on the left is a work of a guy,right's a girl's ---> enough said...

Half done..

June helping out

Tada~~ its finally done..

--------------------------------------------

Iguanaz Pub is a brand new pub in Telawi, Bangsar, so the place is not yet fully decorated. However, its good enough for the party and the place is perfect for 70 people~! People who likes Iguanas should check the place out, they have real iguanas in the pub~! If u are really lucky, u might get to see the boss's own huge iguana.

Here are some of my favourite pics that night..

UK trip - Part 2 - The Highlands

2006-11-27T00:57:00.000+08:00

Edinburgh, is like one of THE most romantic city in the world.. at least to me.. everything is pretty there! The buildings are so full of stories and art works, the tartans are unique, people are friendly, weather is cold!

The 1st castle I've been in Scotland is the Edinburgh Castle, it was under some renovation, but still look stunning sitting on the top of the city, giving us a 360 degree view of Edinburgh. Its 10 pounds to go in, and u get to walk around the castle, see the crown jewels, canons, the dungeon, story of the famous Mary Queen of Scots and things like that.. hehe... Its quite incredible how people in the olden days can build such a magnificent building... just breathtaking...

Top :We had our first jacket aka baked potato here too! Its pretty yummy for 3.50 pounds :P

Below: Im at Princes Street, which happens to be one of the happening places in Edinburgh for shopping!! In the UK, every Thursday is their LATE NIGHT SHOPPING day, which means, their shops closes at around 8 or 9pm. Yeah, 8pm or 9pm is considered late night.. haha.. normally their shops closes at 5pm.

We spent the night at St. Christopher's hostel, its pretty good for backpackers..stayed in a 10pax room.. and woke up the next morning to join our Haggis tour.

Quick stop at the Forth bridge. Its a bridge for trains only.

William Wallace Monutment, biggest monument ever built.

Castles we visited. I forgot the name of the castle on the left, but its really sexy~! We had a picnic there with sheep poo all over the place. hehe..below, is the famous Eilean Donan Castle. The lady who owns the castle is more than 70 years old, and the week after we were there, she got married and they had a party at the castle.

These view.. took us half an hour to get to them.. climbing mountains in the rain.. haha.. but it was all worth it.. Dave, our guide told us stories about the Standing rocks on top of the mountain. Some love stories about a dog walker and another dog walker..and later turned into stones. Gorgeous.. isnt it?

Top: The famous highland cows -- Hairy Coo. Below: The Urquhart Castle situating on the banks of Loch Ness.

Thats Loch Ness and the beast, Nessie!! Loch means lake in Gaelic, its the second largest loch in Scotland, streching 23 miles long!!

Our guide made us do a funny ritual to "summon" the beast out from the loch, but sadly, we did not see any beasty that day :( but Dave is like the best guide ever!! Too bad he left Haggis~!

We had a quick stop at a memorial, it was freezing cold!! so Dave suggested we have Scottish Whisky!! it was rather smooth and we all felt really warm after drinking!! no kidding!! hehe.. Dave told us stories about some war and the whisky but i was too cold to even pay attention.. keke

We had a random stop at a tiny church and had our picnic there again, Dave prepares short bread, coffee, hot chocolate, candies for us to picnic by sexy views!

This park was our last stop in Scotland, during our 3-day Skye High Tour.

Hostel we stayed for 2 nights : the Morag is like a 5-star hostel, it has its own bar, very comfortable rooms and beds, clean kitchen and dining hall.. really awesome!!~ Plus, its only like 2 minutes walk to the Loch Ness town.

Vodka + Orange juice

~The drinks~

My ale, Munlin's vodka, and orange juice. Drinks costs roughly around 2 pounds, ale for 2.50 pounds :)
Ale is beer-like, sorta like beer without the gas, really really good!!

The guys partied through the night in the bar, singing Scottish folk songs and countries.. it was way cool~!

Then, im back to England again.... (to be continued)

UK trip - Part 1- Newcastle Upon Tyne

2006-11-23T00:38:00.000+08:00

I reached Heathrow International Airport at around 6.00pm 17th October 2006. My journey beyond my dreams came to a start. We took the tube from Heathrow and headed to King's Cross station to go to Newcastle by train. While waiting for our train, we had our first meal in England in an Indian Restaurant.

Thats me, trying to convince myself im halfway around the world.

The Indian Restaurant. They had like a minimum charge for a person, like each person has to at least dine above 7 pounds or so. But they made an exception for us. After dinner, we took a 4 hour train ride to Newcastle, and reached about 2am in the morning. Someina, my roommate for the next 2 weeks, was waiting up for me. Am i glad to see her!! i havent seen her in ages! and as always she looks just as pretty. :)

We went around town the next few days, checking out cool buildings and shopping complexes.

Thats me and Someina.

The famous St.James Park for the Newcaslte United, you can hear the crowd in the stadium when they are having a match!

Europe is full of street performances, this is one of them that i find really memorable, they were dressed as red indians,singing native red indian songs, smilling to people as they sing.

Then that is the University of Newcastle. That is their Student Union building, there are a few cafes and shops in there, and the food is tasty and cheap!!

On the 3rd day in Newcastle, i packed my rugsack and took a train to Edinburgh, Scotland.

.....to be continued

I Love Melaka!!

2006-11-20T01:29:00.000+08:00

Melaka has like the best places to hang out, good drinks, comfy environment to chit chat, glorious food and gorgeous people! Met up with Kirks and gang in Friends cafe... i think everyone in Melaka goes to Friends cafe, you can just bump into friends there!

The upstairs of Friends cafe

From left: Malibu mix (Sorry Jon for the bad recommdation, its so totally a girl's drink!), The non-alcoholic Tropical beach (i dont quite fancy this one :P), and Baby girl (though it has a sissy name, its strong enough.)

Again from left: May's peppermint IB, and the all American beer.

----------------------------------------------

The next day we celebrated my Aunt's birthday in Kam Pachi in Equatorial Hotel.

My brother spoke a few Jap to the Japanese chef and we got a whole lot of Salmon sashimi!!

I so worship food :P

And went to Pure bar at the end of the day. They had a live band upstairs with a tiny dance floor, but u can hardly dance there, and the lower floor was very crowded being that its a weekend. We had a blast though.
My brother looks ridiculous in the pic.. haha

Will be back there soon!

Healthy Red Wine

2006-10-15T16:30:00.000+08:00

I spent my weekend in Ipoh last week, din get to go out.. but we did had a few drinks at home~ We opened a bottle of red wine, a gift from a friend i think.

According to my parents, drinking A LITTLE wine each day can control high blood pressure. ( My dad just got high blood pressure recently) So, now i get to drink a little everytime i go back~ kekeke..

There are some research done saying some alcohol may reduce blood pressure, and is good for the heart. But not excessive drinking of course. Wine increases the "good" (HDL) blood cholesterol that reduces the fats in the arteries. However, do note that drinking too much will eventually causes hypertension or high blood pressure.

Genting - The Olive

2006-10-05T18:05:00.000+08:00

Genting is like the second favourite hang out place for, my housemate Leeping n I. And no... mind you.. we do not go there to gamble.. both of us are still underage.. kekeke we just go up to chill and breath some fresh air~ :P

This time we went with her sis, and our senior, Ten. We enjoyed a hell of a time in The Olive.

They had a cigar making demonstration in front of The Olive, in conjuction with the Cuban week thingy.

The menu with simple yet classy decorations

Classy Bar

Planter's Punch -yummy yummy

Margarita - not too bad

Because The Olive was doing some Cuban week, so their open beverage that week was Mojito.
Its really good, worth a try there.

The Blue Lagoon, i personally dont fancy this much, but its still a decent drink :)

All the drinks cost RM 24.15 including all the taxes.

The band plays mostly oldies, totally my cup of tea.. so we had a blast just chit chatting.. taking pics and all.

From left: Ten, Leeping, LeeChing, n I

Rating for The Olive - i would say a 7 for a relaxing and comfortable lounging.

And Im no alcoholic, i do love hot chocolate! :P

Dinner to Breakfast (PART 3)

Miss Balkis is a Cuban, so what better place for her than QBA~!? Even on a late Wednesday night, you will be suprised to see the amount of working class people, sexy women, and a whole lot of foreigners in the bar.

QBA has one of the biggest wine and Rum collection, and is situated inside the elegant 5 Star Westin Hotel. It was selected the 'Best Wine & Bar Outlet' award' in 2005, so everything in it is up to that standard. QBA has 2 tiers, the upper level is a classy and quiet wine bar where businessmen talk and relax, and at the lower level where loud Latin music plays and people chit chat and dance all night.

The crowd in QBA are mostly businessmen and ladies who enjoys dancing and relaxing after a hard day's work. Men were smoking cigars and ladies were talking endlessly. The bar was so crowded the day that it was hard to move around, so we got a table outside, where it is quieter and we got to learn how to drink the Tequila the Cuban way~!

We got a 20% off our Tequila from the staff, which is quite a good deal as most places only give up to a 10% discount on alcohol.

The upstairs of the bar - A high class and elegant place to relax and chit chat.

Huge crowd of people packed around the bar in the lower level.

There is a Latino Band playing Latin music, with very good singers. People flooded the dance floor dancing salsa, doing their own things..

The exterior of Qba

Our Tequila came with a plate of lime and salt..where Miss Balkis taught us the ultimate way to Tequila

Miss Balkis, the pro.

sorry for the bad pictures :(

Here's the way to drink Tequila, do try it! I personally like it a lot~!

Starting from the most left picture:

Step 1: Put a pinch of salt on your hand, get ready ur shot of Tequila.
Step 2: Lick the salt, and then finish ur shot!
Step 3: Suck a piece lime to finish.

Its amazing!! Im so gonna teach my mum how to drink this! :P

After all these, we went to Miss Balkis house in Puchong for some chit chat and a bit more drinks, and left for our DimSum breakfast at 4.30am in Sri Petaling.

Dim Sum~!
I'll leave the food part to my food blogger roomate~!

Lastly, GOOD LUCK to MMU peeps for Finals!

Dinner to Breakfast (PART 2)

2006-09-29T15:13:00.000+08:00

We reached Asian Heritage at around 11.40pm to meet up with Aylwin's Spanish Lecturer, Miss Balkis n her son, Luvin and his friends, at none other than... MEzQuite 52!! yeah.. AGAIN.. haha... we love the place, the Margaritas, and the people there.. what more can i say? :P

We went on a Wednesday night, so there were less people, and less cars, which leads to ---> cheaper parking but early closing of the pubs. On weekends, Asian Heritage row would be filled with chun n hot chics, smart looking guys and of course posh and expensive vehicles, with loud music playing from each pub. So, on a weekday you get less of those. However, i do get a feeling of having the place to ourselves. :P

Since Mezquite 52 was featured before, this would be more of a photo post :P

Asian Heritage Row

Ati preparing our drinks. Mezquite 52 drinks are huge compared to other places :P

TADA~~~

Mango Margarita priced at RM 20.00
Verdict from Rachel: Very Deilicious, plus they use fresh fruits which adds Vitamins in it!! Healthy ehh?? :P

Meltdown Margarita (this is a must try!) at RM 22.00

The Mezquite 52's Original Lime Margarita at RM 18.00, which is much much better than TGI's.

Sierra Madre Margarita - A picture's worth a thousand words, see how Jo is enjoying her drink~ haha.. Sierra Madre is at RM 22.00

A pretty lady with a pretty drink~! The Strawberry Margarita we recommended for Wailin at RM 20.00

Tortillas Chips with Salsa dip

Luvin with the very hot Miss Balkis.

They had Havana Club Rum which is widely use to make the refreshing Mojito.

The gang we met up here, featuring Miss Balkis and her son.

We left Mezquite 52 at around 1.30am.
Stay tune for Part 3~!

Dinner to Breakfast (PART 1)

2006-09-29T00:59:00.001+08:00

Our all time favourite lass, Danielle, was in town, so we gathered all our Alpha friends to hang out for dinner and for some drinks after that. We went to the Curve for Sakae Sushi, then off to Sevenatenine!

Its been a long time since i last went to Sevenatenine. The last time i went was in January this year, so a lot has changed and here are some updates for those who hasn't been there for a long time too~ However, the whole feeling and ambience of a chic and comfortable place remains.

More tables and big white comfy sofas were added to accomodate the increasing number of customers. But by the time we got there, the sofas were already occupied, so we ended up having to sit with 2 high tables, with high chairs. It was quite inconvinient for us girls who were wearing skirts to climb up and down the chairs to move around, but the delicious drinks and desserts and of course our company made it all worth it.

If u cant find a sofa seat downstairs, go upstairs. Its more quiet and peaceful upstairs with more privacy and less crowd.

Also, they changed their menu from a very detailed one to a concised 2-pages-menu, so for us "noob" who doesnt have much knowledge of cocktails and alcohol, we had a hard time choosing our drinks. But with help from the friendly waitors and waitress, they briefly explained what is what, we were all satisfied with what we got.

From Left: Jolyn's Pina Colada, Wailin's PassionFruit Vodka, Rachel's Malibu Coconut, and My Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitan is a must try for ladies as it is a perfect ladies drink, smooth and tasty!

From left again: Victor's Vodka Martini, Yichang's Mojito, Aylwin's Strawberry Margarita, and Danielle's Carrot Juice.

Poor Danielle could not take alcohol due to health problems so she only had carrot juice while watching us all get 'high' :P

According to Aylwin, the Strawberry Margartia from Mezquite 52 is much nicer than this one. However, we have to give credit to the beautifully decorated Dessert Trio, with Macadamia Chocolate Brownies, Mango Panna Cotta, and the heavenly Chilled watermelon soup.

Price for our cocktails ranges from just RM 17.00 to around RM 20 :P, others can go to RM 40 or so. The Dessert Trio cost only RM 19.70.

Oh~ and their washrooms are not longer using censors! ya..ya.. thats how long i havent been there :P But its simpler now just turning the tap than when we had to stand in the toilet trying to figure out how to operate the tap :P

You get amazing view of the Pride of MAlaysia- The Twin Towers from Sevenatenine. Make sure u get urself a good pic of it before u leave the place :)

Those who were present, the girls from left: Jolyn, Danielle, Wailin, me, Rachel, and the guys from left: Victor, Aylwin and Yichang.

We left Sevenatenine at 11.20pm (to be continued....)

MeZquite 52

2006-09-25T21:47:00.000+08:00

This would be my 1st post, but my second time to Mezquite 52. Me and my "WET" gang love this place loads. ("WET" means hanging out, for those who dont know :P). Located at the near end of Asian Heritage, MezQuitE 52 is a Mexican restaurant, which serves fine dining during day time, and by night.. it becomes a cool and relaxing tequila bar.

The interior is classy and gorgeous and we absolutely love the bartender and the band~ *wink*~ The band plays everyday except on Mondays, and they play Latin, especially Spanish songs, with very good musicians playing a combo of percussions~

The Band

Services are good and drinks are enjoyable. They have a wide variety of wine and liquor and of course Tequilas, and not to mention also selections of Margaritas. We had Strawberry Margarita, Peach Margarita, and the original Lime one. We got complimentary chips and peanuts from the bar too! Also, the prices are affordable, so we can go everyweek ehh?? :P

I didnt get to take good pictures of the drinks we had, but i'll make sure i do the next time im there!! and post it again here. So, in the meantime, you people can go see for yourself, and bring me along :P

My gang with their drinks
(From left: Rachel with Strawberry Margarita, Carrine with Lime Margarita, and Aylwin with Long Island Tea)

Drinks are most of the time similar everywhere, beer, liquor, wine and all.. so if i were to choose a bar or pub to chill, it would be the environment, atmosphere, services, interior, and the feeling. For that, i would rate MeZquite 52 ,a 8 out of 10 , for a good Friday night out!
