Blindfolded DH for his surprise dinner

Wanted to give DH a birthday to remember this year.

Since the economy is really bad this year, we've agreed to save more and spend less. So we've decided to do away with spending a lot on lavish gifts that we do not necessarily need - and we only agreed upon this recently.

So I googled for good food and for a different type of cuisine so that DH will remember his 34th birthday. I made him put on an eye shade during the ride to the restaurant with my Waze on mute. But halfway thru the journey, he unmasked himself as he was feeling dizzy already.

Arrived in Palms PJ Sports Centre and the restaurant - Out of Africa quite easily. It's a restaurant situated in the sports centre where an Olympic size swimming pool, squash, gym, physio centre and  Modestos were at too.

I was overdressed for the place as the restaurant settings were like a resorts cafe, with seatings overlooking the swimming pool and many Caucasians and their kids playing in the nearby playground. We were there at 6 p.m and were the only ones sitting in the secluded aircondition area.

Our first impression of the restaurant wasn't so good - there were mosquitoes flying about in the aircondition room; the white table linen on our table had black pet paw stains on it, and the next table had spilled sand on the table linen; and the furnitures were old.

The food turned out to be quite good. I placed order based on what was most recommended on blogs and tripadvisor. Will update pics later on...
