The Publican bar & cafe

Heyyyy Hooooooo :)

18th Nov 2010 was a memorable date for both miss FDQ & I.
Why why why?
because the day marked the completion of our honours study, like really complete.

We had our biostatistic & epidemiology (honestly cant remember the unit number, but who cares?) presentation, starting at 9. Luckily the previous night I bbm-ed miss FDQ and confirmed with her the time of our presentation. Because I thought it started at 12, i'd be 3 hours late if it wasnt for blackberry (xoxo blackberry).

I was the 7th person to present, while miss FDQ was the 9th person. Apparently there was a super-long-2hour-break between the 8th and the 9th person, so miss FDQ wouldnt get to present until 1.45 pm. We thus decided to grab something to eat, drove to Victoria Park, and ended up at the Publican.
The place was pretty empty when we arrived, only few tables were occupied, and few people were at the bar. We ordered 3 tapas dishes: Lamb kofta kebab with pistachio cous cous and yoghurt drizle, chorizo & manchego croquettes with smoked paprika, and buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese sauce.

Overall the food was pretty standard; the croquette was too cheesy; and according to miss FDQ, the lamb kofta was too dry. For me, the food wasnt memorable or to die for. Having said that, the day was splendid (well, not the weather, it was effing hot, even breathing took some real efforts). I've waited forever for this day to come, and when it did, OH MY GOD, how relief I was!! I guessed doing honours can really screw your brain cells. ck ck ck ck ..sooo unhealthy for my wellbeing.

Anw, WE ARE DONE!!!!!!!!!!! so long, honours...wont miss you!!!!
