Had a very pleasant lunch today at Garibaldi's. I had arranged to go there with an ex-colleague (I'm the 'ex' not the other person), but the minute I stepped in, I realised I had made a slight mistake and forgotten that the place is pretty popular with my colleagues. One entire corner of the small restaurant had been taken up by them. Luckily I was seated at the other end, and they were probably unable to hear my conversation over the general noise!I've heard mixed reviews about Garibaldi's. One friend who's then-bf proposed to her there had horror stories about the service. So far I haven't had any problems though. It provides more or less everything that is expected for its price range. One complaint though might be that it tends to get a little noisy when full. Not the best if you're trying to get in some romantic time with your partner.
Anyway the reason the lunch was pleasant, was not just because of the food (which was good), but because of the company and the conversation. We talked about:
1) news at my ex-workplace (gossip + personal financial interest!)
2) my current job (*comments censored*)
3) the general economy (gah....)
4) friends (are wedding bells ringing soon for someone we had almost given up on?)
5) family (the looking after of)
6) growing old (and the responsibilities that come with age)
As a result of the conversation, I'm afraid I didn't even pay much attention to the food.
But I am pleased. Meeting up with an old friend made my day.
P.S. I am guessing about the price. I've never had to pay while eating here! =P
P.P.S. For those wondering why there are so many blog entries today, its because I'm super bored. Thank God that holidays start soon and I can stop pretending to be engaged in meaningful activities!!!
