It was a Friday … the only off day for the good people and myself in our company. Come evening time, the sun began to bid us goodbye for the day as the calm desert breeze soothingly welcome the moon to take its place on the heavenly stage up above.
My colleagues and I, well, the five of us to be exact decided to make our way to The Corniche. So we saddled up and pedalled the next 10 minutes or so towards one of Abu Dhabi’s premium recreational destination. When we got there, the sight of throngs of people greeted us. Families enjoying a relaxing picnic by the fine sandy shores of the Gulf’s sapphire waters as roller bladders zig-zagged amongst the walking pedestrians. We just cruised along the cyclist path which we shared with the avid joggers and it’s just a nice sensation to be enveloped in a state of peace and tranquillity. And you know what, they actually separate the beach area into two sections ... one for ladies & families while the other are for men & singles. A fee of AED 10 is implemented should you want to enter the beach. We took a pit stop by 31 Baskin Robbins and treated ourselves to a scoop of fattening goodness each … with extra peanuts and chocolate sauce mind you. :p Soon after, we made our way home and prepared for dinner.
All of us decided to eat out and I was ‘instructed’ to think up of a place. After much deliberation, we settled for Bandung Restaurant … an Indonesian establishment with very reasonable pricing. We ordered enough to feed a small African village. On the table were fried shrimps, beef with chilly, deep fried fish, stir fired kang kung, tempeh, flour fried chicken, satay, steamed fragrant rice and various condiments like sweet soy sauce and sambal asam pedas. It was the first time ever that the entire crew of the company went out to have a meal together. After dinner, all of us adjourned for dessert at ... *drumrollssssss* ... 31 Baskin Robbins AGAIN!!! Double whammy I tell you. No amount of workout can compensate digesting these sinful ultimates ... not once but twice within a period of 3 hours. Crazy huh!!! What's worse, this 2nd helping of mine comes with a double scoop combo of choch chip and vanilla flavours. It was served fully loaded with whipped cream, thick layers of sweet brownies as well as a generous drizzle of rich caramel sauce.
Oh yea, before the food arrived, we went to a nearby Indonesian sundry shopped and purchased enough ingredients for our chef back home to whip up a batch of yummy nasi lemak and teh-o-ais limau the next day. Really yummilicious too. :)
Hmmm ... this entry seemed a bit messy. Dunno why and can't be bothered really. Haha.

I like baskin robbins...just that the price is way expensive. Abu Dhabi price cheaper compared to MY?
Hey, no more curry dishes everyday ar now? I really can't stand even the thought of that! But a little bit of baskin robbins could surely alleviate the pain...right?
Yea ... no more 'kali fan' everyday. Getting better now.
Ooo ... yes, Baskin Robbins IS CHEAPER than back home. SO there's another reason for you to come over no? :p
