We were supposed to be going to see Hamlet tonight but Rache unfortunately missed out on the standing tickets (of which they release about 30+ everyday.) She got to the standby queue for about 9am with tickets going on sale at 10am but apparently even that was not early enough! She said she would try again on Friday but that she’d try to get there for 7.30am instead!

At any rate, we decided we should still have a catch up. Of course naturally our thoughts turned to food.

Specifically Mango Tree.

I’ve eaten at Mango Tree a few times in the past however a couple of those times have been off the free menu so not exactly opportunities for exploring the vast and varied menu. I’d forgotten just has vast and varied the menu was. For about 15 minutes we sat their trawling through the menu and still I couldn’t come to a conclusion as to what I wanted. Seriously I think there must have been at least seven pages to the menu with season specials, starters, mains, etc.

We decided to share our meals so we could sample a wider variety. Rita chose Lamb Satay, Rache a Glass Noodle Salad and I one of the Chef’s summer special Lobster Tempura. For mains we chose a prawn curry, a lamb, I think rendang, curry, and a chilli pork belly dish. All were quite tasty but surprisingly I enjoyed the lamb curry dish the most. I say surprising because I hate lamb!

After these two courses I was actually stuffed beyond comprehension but the girls were pretty keen for dessert. I of course couldn’t say no. I kind of wish I hadn’t though because I was practically in pain at the end from eating so much food. I swear that I’m eating a heck of a lot less now than I used to but I still can’t fit as much into my stomach as I used to be able to!

Lovely meal but when will I learn the lesson about not overeating!
