Cheese sold out

I still remember the time when we were to drive to a place before midnight struck just to view a spectacular firecracker show, only to ended up watching it from the car while still on the way. We were stuck in a massive traffic jam, and still were a few hours later. Unmistakably, the episode tis time topped tat:
We tot of having cheese n choc fondue for Christmas Eve dinner and drove eagerly all the way to Desa Sri Hartamas for it. It is the only place tat offers choc and a good selection of cheese fondue. I was eyeing on the creamy veggie cheese one. We left Mid-Val at abt 8.20pm. Upon reaching the place, we discovered to our dismay tat it had 'gulung tikar' (ceased its operation). Ok, never mind, we were yet to be discouraged and so, headed south to another place in Serdang. Shockingly, they had ran out of cheese! Tis, i think, is rather unacceptable, considering the fact tat it was being advertised on Ho-Chak (a local show to recommend good eateries) just the day before, and tat any eatery at all should stock up for festive seasons. I looked at the grinning waitress, and she looked back at me, with my jaw dropped open. 9.50pm.
It was a long way from our third option, which is at Setapak, all the way north again, a place where they dun serve cheese fondue. And i din want to just hav the choc one. Tat's why it's the third option.
By then, it was already getting discouraging. Heck, guess we'd just hav a decent dinner nearby. Forget anything fancy. We managed to find a parking space for Halo at South City Plaza, which they hav tis really minimal and pathetic fun fair going on. And could u believe it. We arrive at 10.15pm, which tis 98.8 FM + Justin (a singer from HK) activity had just begun at 10pm, and created a big hoo-ha at Halo. The place was crazily packed.
The final diversion of dinner plans, in the end, sent us to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, the only other place tat was still open next to Halo. Yes, we had our Christmas Eve dinner at Wong Kok.
Who could hav squinted thru the menu at a hongkie chain restaurant to look for a fondue, n yet they hav it! Contentment finally came in a small set of a single choice of choc fondue. It was my third visit to Wong Kok and it had been good. We managed to hav smtg cheesy too - baked. So all in all, yes, we had a delightful x'mas eve dinner at Wong Kok, with cheese n choc.


Hav line dancing the first thing on Christmas day. We learned tis Christmas dance recently, nothing to shout about, just an easy pleasant 32 step number. The cool one nowadays is Don't Push Me. The steps are quite awkward to grasp but the choreography is great.
