FOOD, Friends, Shopping, Uncategorized SHOPPING & EATING AT PADDINGTON 31 March 2008

Spent the day at Paddington with my girl friends on Saturday.. doing what else but eating and shopping – it’s what we do best πŸ˜€ I also just realised right now that we spent about 10 hours straight with each other, *lol* It’s hard to stop us once we’re on a roll…

We started off at Bite Me, which is like our staple, standard place πŸ˜› We girls love our burgers and fries!! No wonder none of us are ever (successfully) on a diet.. d’oh. THIS time, I decided to try out the Traditional foot-long dog served with American cheese, sautΓ©ed onions, tomato sauce & American mustard served on a soft hot dog roll. I couldn’t quite picture how long “foot long” really was, and I generally like side dishes with my meal, so I innocently asked “Should I also get fries with it??”, to which the (VERY CUTE!!!!) waiter grinned and said I wouldn’t be able to finish the hot dog as it was, so there was no need for fries. “But”, he said, “If you actually manage to finish that hot dog, I’ll give ’em to you for free”. I just smiled and noodled, thinking “Heh. DUDE. Better be prepared to cough up for the freebie!”

The hot dog arrived and it WAS big! It was mainly because the bun was just so damn large. Plus it was packed with onions and cheese. There was no way I could eat it daintily…. so I just picked up the thing and stuffed into into my mouth. Haha! It was really really good. The bun was all fluffy and soft, and the sausage was really tasty but not salty. The other ingredients and condiments were great too, but wasn’t a fan of the cheese, as it was more like Cheddar (which I don’t like) than like Brie (which I love). A fab hot dog though, and I scoffed it in about 5-10 mins.

Because it’s a small restaurant, other diners eyed me eating that hot dog, some with a bit of disgust/shock in their eyes. OH WELL!!!! I’m a growing girl okay?! Growing in every which way, that is πŸ˜‰ The strange thing is, because I’m so used to eating a variety of food with each meal, I was full after that hot dog but still craving more food. In particular: Pat & Stick ice cream!!!! So we cajoled the (I must say this again: VERY CUTE!!!!) waiter to give us a freebie. Mmmmmmm yummy.

And so, bellies wobbling, we waddled out the door – happy and full πŸ™‚ And now we have photos.. please don’t think I’m disgusting, it’s just that a girl’s gotta eat! πŸ˜›


We cam-whored whilst waiting for our food to arrive

2 mini burgers and fries. How cute!!

HEH

Contemplating how to eat the huge burger!

I’m amused at how the hot dog length is bigger than my waist, and about the size of my whole torso πŸ˜›
You can imagine how massive my belly looked afterwards – think nearly full-term pregnant!

Feeding time at the zoo

Digging in!

Eh? ALL GONE ALREADY?!

Our free Pat & Stick ice cream.. mmmmmm……

Had a bit of a shop-til-you-drop session afterwards. We all went a bit mad shopping (pics of purchases in another post later!) but came away totally satisfied and retail-therapied πŸ˜‰ You can always count on a good shopping session to put you in a great mood! On a side note, I have come to the full and very real realization that I need to somehow make a LOT of money, so I can shop and buy everything I want! Materialistic? Absolutely. But does it make me happy? ABSO-FRIKKIN-LUTELY!!!! πŸ˜›


At the markets, so engrossed we didn’t even realise this pic was being taken

Super cute fabric hat!

Aww so sweet πŸ™‚

I’m super sexy. ADMIT IT!

Being completely random

Pink-loving girls in our pink boudoir

You definitely look super sexy with that cool headgear. Haha! πŸ˜› But seriously, you’re looking good despite all the stress you’re dealing with. And how is your eye these days? Better, I hope! *^^*

Aww thanks, yeah, I do like to play hard when I’m not working πŸ˜‰ The eye’s all OK now, thank you for asking!

Those photos are so cute! I love the photo of you sipping milkshakes, so very classy! (and not in the least strange that you’ve got sunnies on inside!)

Yay for shopping days! I can not wait to have one of with my girlfriends this weekend! And the cookies and cream cupcake looks so good!

Wow, those cupcakes look to die for!

And, yes, largest hot dog I have ever seen too. Not surprised you were able to eat ice cream afterwards though as it’s a completely different texture and ice cream is comfort food as well as dessert! The bun looks more interesting than American hot dog buns which often taste like dried cardboard.

Looking forward to the shopping pics. πŸ™‚
