I've come up with a reason why my blog is so boring. Like novels are categorized under genres, my blog is categorized under the 'boring' genre. So choose only to read in extreme boredom.Anyway, I went Vivocity today! I shan't say that it's huge cos I still think Suntec is bigger and the layout less confusing than Vivo. They do have a lot more interesting shops though. I went crazy over watches and bought 3 of them. And I also saw 2 pairs of shoes that are absolutely to-die-for, but guess what? They don't have my size! How can that be? Argh!!! I'm going back out tomorrow and hunting those shoes down and bringing them home with me.
And dining at Vivo is a perilous experience. I ate at 2Hot Cafe... big mistake!!!
The mushroom soup was served lukewarm after 30 minutes of waiting. Doesn't matter it was lukewarm, but it was also too salty, as if the chef accidentally upset a whole shaker of salt into the soup. Here's how it looks like:

And it costs $4 too! I've tried better soups that cost less than this.
The steak I ordered came 20 minutes after the soup.

Doesn't look very appetising, does it? Trust me, it doesn't taste good either. I didn't touch the mashed potato because it's cold and doesn't have gravy. Tell me, what's mashed potato without the gravy? I think the foodcourt in Northpoint serves better steak than this.
But though the food was disappointing, I have to commend the wait staff. They noticed that we waited for quite some time and actually offered us complimentary cakes. But my dining partner refused the nice offer. Our server was always smiley, though I wonder if he was smiling at us or with us.
Suffice to say, it would be the last time I'm stepping into that cafe. I think I have to try out more new places for food.
