Diet FAIL!


Valentines Day came around the weekend and it was lovely. Friday, MJ sent lovely flowers to the office - pink lilies, my fave!

We had Chinese dinner afterwards. Simple, nothing too pricey but just as good as any other fancy restaurant. I had pork cutlets with black peppper sauce. Yumm! I tried holding back on the rice but the sauce was too spicy and had to be mellowed down with the rice.

Next day, the celebrations continued. I had to go to Westfield to get my tracksuit altered (had to be shortened) and on the way home, MJ suggested we have lunch at our favorite Yum Cha place - Prince Restaurant in Parra. And again, it was a non-stop eatfest for both of us. I had my pork, prawn and scallops dim sim, mango pudding a few other yummy stuff. After lunch, that's when I realised I had a Valentine/Chinese New Year dinner party to go to at Din's.
Oh, the Burmese noodle, spring rolls, grilled pork belly with rice and Tiny's deliciously yummy mango float were all to die for. After my heavy lunch I though I'd be good for dinner but all the dishes were too irresitible. And yes, I shouldn't forget to mention the bubbly that we had as well.

Sunday came around and I thought my weekend feasting should be done and over with. MJ had made plans to go see a movie - Valentines Day. As the voucher we had was for Hoyt's and the closest one we had was at Blacktown, we HAD to stop by the Filo restaurant and whatelse, EAT! I had bistek and monggo soup. MJ had fried fish and sinigang na baboy. Of course, I couldn't resist sampling the fried fish. After watching the movie, our afternoon date continued with a coffee and an original glazed Krispy Kreme donut.

So, I did have a happy and extremely indulgent Valentine weekend. Lots of laughs and good times. But at the same time, a massive FAIL at my healthy diet.
