Begawan V: Riverside Sunday


Water Taxis
Swiped from williamnyk.
Well, I spent my Sunday in the office too. Breakfast was air-conditioned fried noodles. Cold! Fatty Boss picked us up in the company Innova and it was quite a ride! Nothing clears your mind like the sound of tires screeching from an emergency break. Worked and worked until lunch time when Fatty Boss came over to treat us at Fratini's. The Italian restaurant was located just beside the river where Kampong Ayer's located. One can see water taxis zipping across the river bringing the occupants to and fro. Once they alight, the occupants continue own with their own automobiles parked on the other side. It all seemed quite haphazard. Boats were anchored in the middle of the river and everyone was just going against the surf at high speed. Ordered spaghetti vongole with fish buillion. So-so. Washed it down with a glass of honey dew juice. Back to work for a couple of hours. Such a chore to get the system up. Never touched it before. Lots of guesswork. And I have to present it? Gosh.

My colleague was sick of the MSG in the roadside food, so when decided to go to Charcoal BBQ & Grill Restaurant for dinner. Ordered the 10oz ribs (downsized) with mashed potatoes and fresh garden salad. The ribs were excellent. Looks like really the best ribs in town as advertised. Succulent, tender and juicy. Yummy. However, the salad dressing was horrible. Smelled like sourish leftovers! :S. And the service was super slow... Goodness. It seemed as though each waiter could only carry one plate at a time. :S. My colleagues want to come back on our last night in Bandar Seri Begawan. Back in the room, watched "Land of the Lost". Super stupid movie, but it's still better than "Tropic Thunder". :S. Some soccer matches (I wasn't paying attention), some keripik singkong, and I called it a night.
