Fidels

Sigh. Last night our entire flat went out to dinner at Fidels on upper Cuba Street as a last supper. Tom the Jap has decided to return to Nippon-land to take up a job opportunity that is too good to miss. I really like Fidels. Sometimes I get put off with all the "hipsters" that frequent there.. I just feel that I don't fit in, with my crisp clean clothes, neat hair and made up face.. Well, I'm sorry that I don't like to wear smelly vintage clothes - which by the way need WASHING before you wear them after you bring your haul back from the Sallies..

ANYWHO, excuse my mini rant there! Dinner was goooood. Usually I get the pizza and beer special (2 Heines and a large pizza for $25.00) but now that we live just down the road from Hell pizza, I'm pretty pizza-d out. Instead I decided to have the mussels in a cream, lemon and rosemary broth ($16.00) and a vegan berry smoothie ($5.50). Jeff-wah decided on beef nachos ($15.00) and a snickers milkshake ($6.50).

My mussels were pretty good! The broth was a little bit salty but that can be expected of mussels. The waitress made a recommendation of having the mussels with 5-grain toast as she said it soaks up the broth better. I'm glad I listened to her on this cause damn son that bread had me coming back for more! The vegan smoothie tasted a lot like Ribena - but still real yum! Jeff-wahs frickin Snickers milkshake was SO GOOD! I hate being lactose intolerant.. I might have had too much of a taste and paid for it later on via stomach cramps. His nachos were very generous in size and to be honest there was mince leftover - which does not happen often.

The rest of our flat got a mexican pizza, chicken and holoumi salad and the beef burger - which was huge! All in all it was a really nice meal out (after being told that there would be a 50 minute wait for food at The Southern Cross) and their dinner prices are pretty much the same as their lunch prices. Cha-ching!

Come on, vamanos!
