ON THE ROCK

I've a very funny habit... mm... just like when we're small that time, we like to play with toys, like kitchen utensil sets, or, doctor and nurse toy set... :-) well... at least in the place that I stay, we do have that short of toys...
However.. until now, I still carry this sort of habit, a similar habit...

The other day, we went to this place called Greco, near Crown Entertaintment Complex, introduced by one of my friends...
We went there late Friday night.. ya... this city... oh!!! to me, it's not even a city, you can't really find night life.. I mean, decent night life... the only place you can find, decent and indecent mixture, is this place, in Crown...
the rest of the city, on the street.... when darkness falls, you feel like you end up in a ghost town... yep... not even ghost will walk on the street...

It seems like this Greco serves quite quite interesting dishes... and during peak 'supper' hour, one can actually see some long queue lining up at the entrance...
we were sitting at the bar counter, ooh.. normally people don't like to sit at the bar counter, as the stools are normally very high, thus it's hard for one to sit there for long hour and hang out...
but, this Greco place, the high stools at the bar counter, are very very comfortable... we sat there for the whole night, looking at the delicious cold dishes displaying in front of us.. it looks and sounds like an italian cafe... interesting place

However the MOST interesting thing is, it's quite a huge range of sinful cakes on the other side of the cafe, catering for the dine-in customers, as well as for those people who just come to grab a decent fresh piece of cake and then ciao...

Anyway.. the thing about this cafe is.. :-) I've finally fallen in love with another new coffee drinks...
usually whenever I am out there in a coffee place, I'd just order mocha... but that day, when I was in Greco, maybe it's at night, maybe I was happy and excited, as we've finally found some place that we can possibly hang out quite often, AT NIGHT... so, I was in the mood to try up new stuff...
In fact, it's not that I have not tried this before, but, it's served in different manner...
it's the Affogato...
Mm... yummy!!!!!! the way they serve the Affogato is like the one in the picture...
While taking it, I was teling him, I feel like I'm having some hard liquour ON THE ROCK.... and I told him, next time we will come to this place more often, to have this Affogato... (it's basically a shot of Expresson on top of a scoop of vanilla icecream... yummy!!)
:-) He then... told me that, I'm still like a kid...

Yep.. that's quite true... when we're kid, we used to buy those chewing gum in cigarette form, before, we put the chewing gum in the mouth, we'd pretend to smoke for a while...
ya, smoking is bad, that's why, we go for chewing gum...

Then, I discover a type of mineral water bottle, which looks like those little flat pocket-size liquor bottle... so I started carrying it everywhere, to work, to my Japanese language class... till one day, my Japanese teacher, Miss Matsui couldn't help staring at it, and then, shyly asked me, if there's alcohol inside the bottle :-) kakaka!! it works...
nah, I then told her, that's just normal water in it.. :-)
ya, drinking is bad, I was just having normal plain water... :-)

Today, I've found another new toy :-)

So, if you pump into me drinking something that looks like alcoholic drinks... then, I am just having the very innocent AFFOGATO!!!!!
