Weekend Review

Pretty eventful weekend. On Friday night i went to Fright Nights at PNE with Fu, Kenta, Kaito and his gf Yuko. Leo Fu later joined us. All in all it was OK, but not worth $25 bucks. One of the haunted houses was broken and there was zero light inside. it was just walking in a pitch black area walking into walls and stuff, so lame. It is a fun atmosphere in general, they have people dressed in costumes and make up just walking around trying to scare people and the decor is cool, but the lines were really long. You wait 20 minutes for a 2 minute haunted house. Best part is they have most of the rides open which was fun. Overall i give it a 2.7/5.

On Saturday night it was Fu and Jason Chan's birthday party at a place called Bliss in Coal Harbour. They rented out the whole restaurant for a private party. We had an amazing time. I will post some pictures as soon as i get some. Now for the review. Start with dinner. It was tapas, which means they brought out several small dishes for all to share. The food itself was good, pre-set menu, just not enough. It started with some sort of taquito/spring roll thing with cheese in it, then short ribs, then sushi, then some small cut steak, and finally duck and steak served in noodles with veggies and rice. Like i said, food was good just not filling. If the price wasn't $35 i might be a bit more lenient but i give it a 3.2/5. If the price was lower and there was maybe one more dish it could have easily been a 4.
Now onto the drinking. I basically drank rum and cokes all night, and at $5.50 was priced average. I had some shots as well, which were $5, and i also had some Tiger beer. I must say having different types of beer was a huge plus. My friend Manny said he had the beer while he was in Asia and was excited to have it again. The prices were good, the drinks were good, only negative was the wait. Having said that, i put no blame on the people working there. They worked their asses off, especially the owner Sye who was behind the bar all night working really hard. The problem was a small bar meant to be used for a restaurant, not a club atmosphere, which is no ones fault. Drinks get a solid 4.5/5.
The overall experience was awesome. The DJ's were really really good, although no I'm So Hood, sorry Jon, and everyone had an awesome time. I would, and will go back for dinner, and i look forward to checking out the owners other location he told me about in Deep cove. Overall, the whole night experience, 5/5. I had a great time. I heard no complaints except for the food, and the wait, like i said, people were upset but understanding. Just made us buy more every time we got the chance.
Next up is Rice's birthday which is on Monday. He gets a 5/5 for looking so sexy last night, ha ha. Until next post, i am out.
