post dinner with friends at taste of LA

just got home from a fun night with marge, her date jim and her cousin meann. met up with them at taste of LA after i had dinner with pao at kfc as pao had to go study for his comprehensive exams in surgery, pathology, and ophtha-ENT tomorrow (good luck baby! i know you'll do great!) . pao and i had our christmas dinner date here last year. :) personally, i've always considered this as one of the top date places i have on my list -- classy, authentic, origina, with gorgeous ambiance.

it was nice having some downtime with people outside the hospital for a change. haha. not that i don't love being at the hosp, it's just that it's such a breather. plus the fact that i haven't seen marge in a while.

they had already ordered when i got there, and a yummy -looking platter of rockefeller oysters were already on the table. this was an appetizer that pao and i ordered before, and it was as tasteful as i recalled it to be. :)

the rockefeller oysters which taste even better than it looks ;)

i had a frozen strawberry margarita, meann had bailey's, while marge and jim both had super dry. it was nice seeing them again. plus, it was nice getting to know jim. i swear, my best friend has had the most interesting guy "friends!" haha! fyi, she has been my best friend since we were both 8 years old. great, isn't it? ;)

since i'm quite sleepy, and i still need to get some shut-eye as i am once again on duty tomorrow, i'll end this post with some of my pics for the night. i hope i do get to post about something decent soon.
