la bodega 2nd visit
Posted by dre4mer at 07:59 PM on December 4, 2005.
I went for la bodega the 2nd time last Saturday with the old bunch of high school friends ( Daphi, Jenni, Alli, Lyd and Lin Lin) and it was actually a pretty enjoyable experience. I did not blog about the 1st time i was there eventhough initially i was super hyped to go there because i was disappointed with the outcome of our orders.
So anyway, at 645 the entourage arrived at my house. And all six of us were packed into a Wira( it wasn't that bad really. except maybe for alli's butt) And we headed down to Bangsar with Jenni driving. Reached around close to seven i guess. I am not sure since i didnt check the time. And parking in Bangsar apparently is hard to find even at a normal hour minus the drinking ppl. Imagine the havock when the party really begins. I seriously pity the ppl living in Bangsar. Anyways, we finally found a parking somewhere. Everything is a walking distance so we just grabed the next car park we could find. And it was off food hunting. Since La bodega was just one of the many options. There were a few viable restaurant. We almost ended up in a lebanese restaurant which was suppose to have belly dancing, but since it might be spicy and alli's throat wasn't doing too well we decided to pass. Maybe next time. I am always game for something new. So La bodega it was.
I think the question that some of u ppl might be asking is why on earth did i decide to go back there then. The reason is actually that i thought they had a different menu for their bar & restaurant and their deli outlet which is just situated next to each other. Well i found out otherwise. But that they have a seperate menu for main dishes other than paella. But alas we did not go for that. Instead we still ordered the paella which had me dissapointed the 1st time around. And we also got some entrees which we had the waitress recomend. We had the button muchroom sauted with garlic and something i think and some lamb meatballs. And we had that with a basket of very nice soft french bread i think. The bread with the sauce was heavenly. And if u were to eat there and dont want the main meal i think u can get full by having an entree with bread. Which would cost u maybe less than rm 10 minus drinks?
. But the bread is for the whole table la. I actually debated whether to order alcoholic drinks since i wasnt sure if they were going drinking later. But i couldn't resist the call of my chardonnay which i really missed for sometime. That set me back rm 16 but was definitely worth it since the wine was pretty smooth. And finally the paella came and lo and behold. It looks absolutely fabulous with clams and prawns and mussels. filling the pan. It wasn't that measily 3 mussles 3 prawn thing that i had the last time we went.
. Anyway, I have been procrastinating as usual. Plus didn't want to give myself an excuse to get stuck in front of the comp for too long for the need to study. But i guess I have to drop by to at least say something before october ends, or this would be like Oon-Ee's monthly entry :p.

. But made not
much diff anyway i guess coz we had to wait for Dom in uni. Luckily i
was late or we would have had to wait longer. So after Dom
arrives we set off on our way to putrajaya, not really knowing the road
too well. Dom was leading the way, and on and on we follow till somehow
we reached this place which was absolutely breath taking. By that time
it was already dark, and we were staring at this place which sort of
looked like it came out of a metropolis of a movie where the buildings
where all lited to the max. But guess what, we over shot and
ended up in cyber jaya. Bummer. And on the way of finding our way
out we bumped into another bunch of juniors which got lost as well. How
ridiculous. So a 3 car entourage proceeded to the putrajaya
marriot and finally reached there 1 hr late, but still with time left
before the event started. That is malaysian time for you. And
when we reached, we were eagerly ushered to meet a new friend Michelle,
which surprise ! surprise! is no michelle at all, but a guy who decided
it be fun to,partly in the words of Rajiv," make balls shrink"
well at least make Rajiv's balls shrink anyway. But he did make quite a
pretty girl for a guy
