A Jewel of a meal

It’s Hash Monday, and it seems that Angie (the gal from Queen Vic) is indeed going to join me for today’s adventure. The trail starts on Banaba Street, which is about 40 minutes away from my house on foot, assuming I shortcut over the mountain, as is my current plan. So, time is of the essence this morning hence this limited post about last night’s feeding at Hideaway Bar.

My Sunday custom is to order off the menu at Jewel Cafe and then have the food delivered to Hideaway. Last night’s selections:

Chicken quesadillas
Pork sisig
Garlic prawns
And fried chicken

I also brought some chili and cornbread from home. The dessert was Choco Pies and Oreo cookies.

A taste of my chili
A bite of my cornbread
A prawn soon to be gone
Say goodbye to the Choco Pie

The girls seemed to enjoy their meal, and I, of course, enjoyed seeing their satisfied faces.

After the food was gone, I challenged Joy to a game of pool.

Give me a break!

I don’t play that often, and when I do, I usually suck. I made a couple of shots that surprised me and managed to prevail in my battle with Joy. Jen challenged me next, and although it was a close game, she won in the end. Ah, well.

I did my nightcap at Cheap Charlies and watched the world go by for a bit.

Nerissa was there to keep me company as well. I made it an early night, coming home at 8 p.m.

Pretty exciting life, huh?

Leech My Nuggets is the Hare for today’s Hash, and as usual, he’s laid out a challenging trail. Also, as usual, I’ll be shortcutting. Of course, my walk to the start will add some distance, but that’s okay. I’ll let you know how things turn out tomorrow.

  1. Food looks good. I still can’t get over the peas/carrots/corn combination that comes with the sisig and prawns. Does Joy always close her eyes like that when she’s taking bites, or is it just your timing when you’re taking pics? Maybe she’s just a really, really passionate eater.

    Good luck with the Hash. Happy trails.

  2. Well, sometimes I get the photo when she is unaware I’m taking it. I don’t think she is posing, but she might emphasize her reactions occasionally.

    Regarding the peas/carrots/corn, I’ve never really paid attention if that’s a popular combination everywhere or unique to Jewel. The owner of Jewel is a foreigner (European), so maybe that’s his thing.
