We rendevous’d at Benoit and Ivy’s place this evening, with plans to head out for dinner. I love checking out Benoit’s tanks whenever I’m there. His saltwater tank gets more vibrantly coloured every time I’m over.

He’s got a new anemone for the clown fish. Other fish must stay away or be paralysed by the toxins the anemone releases to subdue its prey. The clownfish are immune to it and use it as a means of protection from predators.

We had reservations at Lido’s on William Street, Northbridge.



LIDO’S

We love this place. It’s brighter, more spacious and cleaner than Viet Hoa. The food is just as good, if not better. It’s our new favourite Vietnamese restaurant – with half those with this opinion being Vietnamese themselves.

Entrees


Stuffed Chicken Wings


Spring Rolls



Mains


Myself: Bun Bo Hue


Benoit: Beef Balls Noodle Soup


Ivy, Fee & Long: Broken Rice


I don’t remember what they had in their broken rice dish...was it pork? I was too hungry and had eyes only for my bowl of deliciously spicy pho.

After dinner, we headed to Burswood and us girls spent the night drinking and dancing, while the boys caught the soccer and lost money.

Supper in Northbridge
Deep Fried Squid
Century Egg & Pork Rice Porridge


While the guys played a mini-tournament of pool at Potblack, us girls went to get supper. It brought back memories of when I used to come out clubbing in Northbridge on the weekends and we’d stumble into one of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown at around 3am to get food. Ah, those were the days. Sometimes I’d just grab a banana milk and spring roll from one of the kebab stores down James street. I know, it sounds gross now, but at the time that banana milk would be just what I craved!
