Recently I met this new friend, a fellow Singaporean. Not only that, a fellow heartlander from Bishan!! We realise that we live blocks away from each other and even attended the same primary school! Can you imagine my excitement?!So kind as she was, J invited me to her place in the posh neighbourhood of Warwick Avenue, also known as Little Venice, all the way over in the west side of London. An area which is almost out of bounds to me because it's just too far away. I am an East London girl now.
Her place is all things flowery and pretty, like her couch which looks so inviting. That warm quilt in winter is just perfect!She also invited a fellow Singaporean girl, also name starting with J (oh no I realise this might get confusing now), and cooked a lovely French dinner for us, starting with onion soup and Coq Au Vin (chicken in red wine sauce). I contributed too!- by buying a lemon cheesecake from M&S hehe. We chatted while she cooked away happily, and her cooking soon started to fill up her one bedroom with a rich red wine aroma.
J the happy cook; some carnations in yet another pretty English looking vase
It was a simple night of knowing two new friends, and I had a really enjoyable evening. The only thing I dreaded was having to travel all the way back home; it took me an hour or so, but I guess it's not a bad thing coz if not, I might not get a chance to visit this part of posh London at all.
Coq au vin straight from the oven. Looks good!
First the starter.. the onion soup that didn't turn brown haha but tasted authentic nonethless
Coincidentally all 3 of us are going back next month for Christmas, so I think the next time I see J might be in good ol' Junction 8, both of us having coffee at Coffee Bean!! hehe
