Special Dinner
I had such a good day today!! Both my heart and stomach are very full.
One of my coworkers invited me to dinner with his wife- we had planned for 6 PM today. Later in the afternoon, I got a call from one of my other coworkers, who also invited me to dinner with one of his friends. Since the second coworker and his friend didn't have a place in mind, I invited them to the first dinner. Unfortunately they couldn't make it in time, but we all met up at a boba shop after and had a a lot of fun chatting, playing card games, and hanging out there.
The restaurant is one of my favorite Taiwanese spots that recently opened!! I was nervous since my friends have high standards for food and the guy is Taiwanese himself, but they were both very impressed by the meal. I know a place I picked is good whenever that friend tells me he's going to take his parents there. So far, three of the spots I've picked have received that distinction, so I'm very proud :'D I'm glad my friends look to me for food recommendations a lot- I never considered myself much of a foodie or anything but it's nice to have my opinions regarded so highly.
I was craving both fried chicken and hot pot, and today's meal had both, so it felt like we killed two birds with one stone. Warm soup is the most delicious during the colder months!!
I felt very grateful when my friends ordered the combination fried rice without pork, double checked with the server, and also taste tested before giving me the okay. I felt so loved!! They didn't have to do that for me but they did ;w;
The boba shop is a very cute place that also just opened, and it's across from the restaurant so we just walked across the parking lot. Our other friends met us there and we got some drinks as well as some samples from the cashiers. Coworker's wife and I had never played Uno before, but everyone else patiently taught us how to play. It was a lot of fun!! I'm happy I got to spend time with everyone.
We ordered salted egg fried chicken wings, curry hot pot, combination fried rice, garlic string beans, beef rolls, and beef noodle soup. Everything was so tasty, but the wings are always my favorite!!
