Almost Somewhere

Today is the birthday of one of my colleagues. So, we decided to celebrate it at Secret Recipe.

I had some Spaghetti Meatballs. Not the best I’ve had, though but certainly the most expensive. Not satisfied with the spaghetti, I ordered a slice of New York Cheese but they ran out of those and the nice and helpful waiter suggested Caramel Cheese, which he said is almost the same.Yep. The cheese part is exactly the same but instead of coffee cream, this one got caramel.

I still like the New York Cheese better, though.

For the birthday girl, we all chipped in and got her a nice birthday cake. We asked for three big candles and one small one. Well, they ran out of big candles. So the waiter suggested 31 small candles. We said okay.

I was picturing it in my mind to be placed around the cake somewhat. Instead, the staff at Secret Recipe put the candles all bundled up together at the center of the cake.

I’ve never seen such a fiery cake before. Just look at that! We thought the fire sprinklers are going to go off since it’s just above the cake…

This is one of the nicest birthday celebration in our department but in the end, I think I had one too many cake slices. My head hurts.
