Had tea with Jo-Anne last Friday and met with Diane (Jo-Anne’s fellow South African friend). Had cappucino with the CEO’s wife at her place and had the most stimulating conversation within the last 11 days! (Of course talking to Edrick about his itchy spots was very stimulating as well!) Tomorrow Marilyn and Lirang are driving across the city and up the hills to sample my Nasi Goreng lunch. Yeah, big deal. I’m grappling inside, still toying with the idea of returning home not knowing where home is. But who cares.
So dear angels, here’s Jo-Anne:
Hey there Jo-Anne!
Yep! Got your email, thank you. And while I’m face to face with this laptop – and has no husband to go to bed to (he has been deep in the Siberian oilfield since Sunday) – I’ll linger a little bit to tell you about my night out last Friday (just in case we never get around to talking about it. Haha.)
We went on the Metro and walked a little to the GodKnowsWhereItWasKaya Street and stopped to have dinner at a restaurant that actually looked more like a club called Etaj Projekt (etaj, I later found out, means ‘floor’ – hence the four-tiered interior). So Floor Project Restaurant, it was. There was no menu in English, but the server spoke not bad English and took the trouble to explain what we were about to poison ourselves with. 🙂
I love fish, so I gladly went fishing that night and ordered me a Fish Soup that I thought would be like the French Riviera style seafood soup or Italian Zuppa de Pesche. But it turned out to be salmon chunks soup, served with two good-sized dumplings that were stuffed with yummy salmon chunks. And for main dish, I chose Salmon with Spinach. Boy, at the end of dinner, I was so fished out I felt like a Salmon swimming home!
Hubby had what they called ‘Mini Steak’ since he wanted to have something light. What the server did not say was… the dish was actually Mini Steaks (not just one mini steak, there were three mini steaks!) They were mini only by Russian standard, of course. But I am happy to report that though hubby and I were each steak-ed and fished out… the food at Etaj Projekt was awesome!
Oh, just googled the restaurant. It is on Tverskaya Street (No. 14).
Okay dear, see ya tomorrow.
(I know you’re leaping with joy that it’s a short week this week and next. I know I am!)
PB-09 Gal,
Enida
p.s. Speaking of fish dinner, there is this really good fish/seafood restaurant in Perth Australia called ‘A Fishy Affair’. I thought that is such a perfect name for a fish restaurant. Very creative! Extremely appropriately fishy!)
