SLS + Butter Chicken + Starbucks
Yesterday afternoon, Carly went out to the Equinox (fancy shmancy restaurant here) with some of her girlfriends / co-workers for high tea. While they were doing whatever it is they do at said event (I'm sure Carly will blog about it sometime), I headed down to Sim Lim Square for the first time (lovingly referred to as SLS by local geeks). For those of you in Vancouver, imagine 200 NCIX's all crammed into a 6 story mall and all competing for the lowest price, then add some stores that sell high end audio equipment, more digital cameras then you could count in a lifetime, plasma TV's ad infinitum, a ton of people, a food court (where I got butter chicken, naan, and rice - enough for 2 people, for $6.50), and well - there you have it: Sim Lim Square.
Following my stint in geek heaven, I meandered along North Bridge Road back towards City Hall MRT. I passed a cool looking little Apple Strudel place on the way, which I'll have to go back to check out some other time - was still full from the butter chicken.
Back at city hall, I grabbed a double-tall-non-fat-caramel-macchiato that ran me $6.55 (more than my lunch?) - but enjoyed it nonetheless as I sat in the nice little courtyard area for a while before heading home.
