List? What List?

From my last post; H did finally agree to take me to the buddha-bar on Friday night. I have been pestering him for awhile because I want to go there before they have to change the name. Think the request has been sent to the owners in France. Quite a lot of protests from local Buddhists with regards to the name. One of the protesters said "if you enter a bar, and you see Jesus on the crucifix; would you not protest?". I supposed that's quite true.....

For the longest of time, H was rather hesitant because the buddha-bar is quite a distance from our house, and he was afraid that we might not be able to get in. Told him that we may NEED to be on THE LIST if we were at the Paris or London venues. 

But here? 

NO List one lah.

Anyway, here are some photos... Not good quality because I am only using a point-and-shoot only  and it can't take terrer-menerrer photos in the dark.

I donno whether we were too early or what. But when we arrived; we were the only one at the bar downstairs.... At least upstairs in the restaurant, there were more people. Not so sad lah.

As for the food, it's so-so only lah. I guessed people don't go there to EAT.... but more to be seen. But then has to be at a more decent clubbing time? Not Auntie/Uncle dinner time like the time we were there... We were out of the door by 8.30 pm, and home in pyjamas by 9.00 pm. When I commented this to H.... He said "Great, huh? This is what I like. In my comfy clothes in front of the TV..."
