Dinner gathering: 49 seats
28th December 2014
Apparently the last Christmas exchange gift on the 28th December with my poly friends and I received Royce chocolate from Nicholas. If I can count by fingers, I have received the 4th Royce chocolate on this Christmas season. Sad or Yay? Of course its a YAY because I love chocolate especially that are imported from Japan ( I know Royce chocolate are really expensive). Thanks to the people who gave it to me as a gift.
The poly-mates decided on 49 seats for our brunch and I am glad to announce that 49 seats opened their second outlet at Orchard Central, a more spacious and accessible venue for many of us to dine in at. The first experience I had was with mum and we have to travel to Kreta Ayer road to savour their food. I remembered it was pouring so heavily and we have no shelter to hide away from the rain.
Not only that, the place was all full-house when we arrived and we have to wait for quite long to be seated. It was indeed a bad experience for us but nevertheless the food managed to bring up my mood.
Menu that I managed to capture clearly. There were quite a number of food to choose from. I would expect them to have egg benedict or big breakfast as I was craving for it but it seemed that they have many varieties of western cuisine only.
This was given for free because the assistant served us when we did not order it. Jensin ordered a set without the soup but the waiter came by and place this mushroom soup on the table. We already had a sip when we realised it so there's no point of us to refund it back. I know this doesn't show our honesty but oh well, what done has been done.
There's always a question that I asked myself when I am tempted to order pasta for my dish. "Is it worth paying for a bowl which was filled with noodles and some dice meat?'' I would have gone to the hypermarket to buy a big packet of pasta and cook myself. At least it can be served for 6-8 person. So no matter what, I will try to avoid ordering Spaghetti.
Jy claimed that the aglio olio tasted bad and urged one not to order it. You may want to place her feedback as one of the consideration?
Other than pasta, there were left with no other choice but western on the rest of the menu. So both Benson and I went with Chicken as our dishes. He chose melted cheese while I had my mushroom sauce. Based on the appearance, the melted chicken will definitely stand a title.
Nicholas fish and chips came with a bowl of Tom Yum sauce and preferably was one of the unique dish that we have.
With nice decorated walls and running man on the display TV, we enjoyed our brunch and had a good time exchanging our Christmas gifts. Oh, another thing is there are no GST & service charge here.

Gift exchange went by drawing lots and for the first round, one of them drew on his own gift so we had a re-shuffled and redrew again. In the end, I received a big bag from Nicholas and was over-joyed. Most of us thought that the gift was purchased from precious moment as this can be seen from the bag but then we realised N went to another shop to get just the bag and wrapped the Royce chocolate into it. I was deceived by the look!
But anyway, thanks for putting the effort to wrap up the gift (:
“Your beloved and your friends were once strangers. Somehow at a particular time, they came from the distance toward your life. Their arrival seemed so accidental and contingent. Now your life is unimaginable without them. Similarly, your identity and vision are composed of a certain constellation of ideas and feelings that surfaced from the depths of the distance within you. To lose these now would be to lose yourself.”
Till then.
