Meat Market

Ali is back in the office today, which is great, and invites me over to dinner to her place in Mont Kiara in the evening – her place is amazing and it makes me even more anxious to get into mine! Deciding (after a lovely G&T) that it's too late to cook, we head out to Mont Kiara and to this place called Meat Market (!) and have a delicious fillet steak, with wine. The food was great and so cheap (compared to the hotel at least): the whole lot came to about 230RM (just over £40) for the pair of us, for main course and desert!

The wine was BYO, and I think that one of the (two) bottles of red that we had cost more than the entire meal. Disastrously, wine is very expensive, and I am thinking about smuggling a load over from the UK, as it’s MUCH cheaper there. By comparison, a bottle of a typical £5 bottle in the UK will set you back about 60-70RM (£15). I'll need to remortgage if I want to drink my usual Sancerre / Pinot Noir...Anyway,  we have a great time and it was good to go out for an evening with someone else, not worry about etiquette, and have a few drinks.

And I certainly am quite pissed by the end of the evening and I get a taxi home and chat drunkenly to Kris on Skype, which I am sure he really appreciated whilst he was at work.
