Went to Borgos yesterday. It’s this little Italian restaurant near Couldroy and Finch. Had a hell load of a dinner then; and I got a LITTLE drunk.
Anyways, dinner was the best! We had some salad thing which I didn’t really like. But then we had these HUGE prawns. I mean HUGE. King prawns I think. Then we had this really cool pasta. It was really nice linguini that was in like a bag kinda thing. The bag was made of pastry and the linguini was in it. Really nice. Then we had some lamb and pork. The pork was like the Italian version of suckling pig. The skin was ROCK hard. And the amount of fat underneath it was unbelievable. Like really unbelievable. It was really a gross amount.
The Drinking
I really don’t hold my alcohol well. But that night I surprisingly held my drink quite well. I had a glass of red (Black Puma) and a glass of white (Really can’t remember which). And then there was the shot like thing. It was a really small glass. Like really small. It was only bout 10 ml. The chef made it himself. The drink was really strong when you first taste it. But it felt really warm when you swallowed it. I loved the drink. But here’s the catch. 95% of that one shot was alcohol. Wine is 7%. Beer is 13%. That one shot had the alcoholic percentage of a bottle of wine. I was VERY drunk by the end of the night. I started singing…
The thing about alcohol is that it makes you very sleepy. The minute I got home I fell asleep. I woke up in the clothes I went out with. (Totally irrelevant but I was wearing a Chinese top and a black shirt) If you think that is bad, my dad’s friend Pritam fell asleep at the dinner table!
The Dinner Conversations
I was sitting next to my dad’s other friend. He’s also a gynaecologist. I can’t really remember his name (the alcohol). He started talking about cases in the Emergency room in Tan Tok Seng hospital. It was this young boy. About 20 years old. He was in a car accident and his liver was smashed.
Dad’s friend (from here on known as DF) *in a sad voice*: the poor boy’s liver was completely smashed
Me: Whoa! Like Foie Gras!
Haha. Stupid I know. But if you think about it, foie gras is basically smashed liver. Only it has a hell load of oil and butter with it. :P
