Girl Bonding

There is never more than enough girl bonding in my life. I could have it like everyday, just like drinking coffee. I had a dose of it tonight, and it was a pleasure not having men around for a change.

I decided to spend my Friday night out in Soho with the girls to celebrate the big 3-0 of one of my friends. We went to Ghenet, this authentic Ethiopian place at Mulberry Street. We had a huge combination plate of Sega Wett, veggies and different kinds of curry, served with fresh injera (this really soft crepe-like bread that you use as a utensil to eat). We had Ethiopian lager beer in between silly banters and girly talk. The whole dining experience had to be communal, and we had to use our hands - but none of us minded! It was a great night.

Here's a bad photo...



Oh, and this is the cheesecake we shared, very typical.



I ended up taking the last piece anyway. Ha!

Being with people from different places always gets interesting. At one point, we had the restaurant sing a birthday song for my friend, and they served a small flan with a candle on it.
She said, "What is this?" My Indian friend said, "The British call it Creme Custard". My Romanian friend said, "To us, it's Cream Sugar". And then I said, "In the Philippines, we call it Leche Flan." My Hongkongese friend said they don't have dessert of that kind. And then we dove in and finished it.
