IS IT ARIBA???

AYE ARIBA!!!!

Straight after I blogged my last entry about my cravings, Sharon rocked up to our place. We were planning to go out for dinner but haven't really decided where we were going, because Sharon is very careful with what she puts in her mouth (sometimes). Out of the 6147 food types that she cannot tolerate, I shall list 3 as examples.

1. Chilli (too hot! duh?)
2. Onions (stinks!!!)
3. Chinese (me and Matt are partly to blame, she's heard the chicken feet, beef tripe, snake stories from us too often. Ahhh...isn't Yum Cha a great way to catch up with friends while you are chewing the skin off a perfectly pedicured chicken foot?)

After our "what have you been up to?" catchups and a few (2 half each) glasses of wine for me and Matt,we "all" decided to go to a Mexican restaurant (Sharon : "Its my favourite restaurant but we can go somewhere else...." ===> emotional blackmail) near Bondi Junction called Fiesta!!! Such a festive sounding name!!!! Keith, who was busy finding a soul mate online, decided to join us too, but he wasn't gonna eat because he had a late lunch. "Maybe I'll have a little bit to drink......" Ha!

So off we went in Shazza's car and we were blasting loud music like the wogs we are, the only difference being the classy girly pop music we were playing. Watch the video below! I can't get the video embedded!!!! You guys have to use the link to view it until I get it fixed.

Found a parking space without much trouble and in we went to the restaurant. I loved it! It doesn't smell like the Mexican restaurant we used to go to in Kensington. Although I wasn't a major fan of Mexican food (all the beans makes me feel like getting someone to pull my finger all the time), the place was really impressive and homely, almost Americanish with its nice little booths and cheap leather/PVC seats. The alky squad went to get some grog while me and Shazza looked through the menu. Went with some garlic bread and guacamole first to shut our growling stomachs up, Matt then ordered Mexican Steak (rump cooked by a Mexican) on a hot plate, Shazza had nachos with minced beef and NO CHILLI, NO SOUR CREAM while I had tacos and Mexican spring rolls (spring rolls cooked again by the same Mexican who cooked Matt's rump). I had to get some Asian representation at the table because I am always fighting for Chinese rights and I am the supreme grand master level 2 in Fa Lun Gong, an Asian branch of the Church of Scientology. Keith had A LITTLE champagne. His eyes were hung-rier than his tummy.

The food came!!!!

Such strong masculine poses with beautiful props!

The only time you'd ever see Shazza with something so small in her mouth! (this pic is gonna fetch heaps on ebay)

Our complimentary side dish of greasy boobs came (pardon the pun)

Now you know why Shazza HAD TO eat that spring roll.................

Hey, how come there's no pic of Keith? He's so shy sometimes, I just have to include a picture of him.

No wonder!!! He's chilling out! Well, he did say he wasn't gonna eat.

For entertainment tonight, we have the 3 AMIGOS!!!!

The tequila kicked in and the whole restaurant went crazy!!!! The other patrons were getting worried that the three amigos were gonna break out into "Speedy Gonzales" and left the restaurant in droves. By 10:30pm, the restaurant is almost empty. Then we got bored and left too. It was a great night, thanks Shazza! Yum Cha next month?!!!

Til next time!

ADIOS!!!
