DMSC: Today we celebrated APOO's birthday, which was on Tuesday. We asked her where she wanted to go. Immediately she responded "Ken Fong!!". Not wanting to have any insect larvae in our food, we instead opted for Indigo, which is sort of our defacto special occassion place.
APOO: Once again, we went on a Thursday because DMSC had a commitment on Friday. I think we really should think of another name for this blog. I guess when our lives become normal again, our Friday lunches will be more consistent. But I do thank everyone for celebrating my birthday. I know I have no right to complain about getting older since I am the youngest in the group, but getting closer to 30 really sucks!
APOO: I have only been to this place once and that was when Elise from our work decided to leave us FOREVER! I may be exaggerating a tiny bit but she did leave to work somewhere else. Oh and did I mention, our fourth lunch co-hort, who stopped having lunch with the group because his life was cut short by a bizarre gardening accident, sprung back to life and came to lunch with us? Wow, I felt special to be eating with a zombie.
APOO: One of the reasons I like Indigo is their food selection. The buffet table is COLORFUL! However, unlike the typical buffet, there are servers to put food on your plate so you can't control the size of each portion, which DMSC doesn't like. We all ended up with huge plates with huge portions of everything and those that we didn't want, and we had to force ourselves to stuff our faces until our tummies explode. Luckily, the food was healthy.
APOO: Here's a sample plate. Since I am no Indian, I have no clue what I ate except the general terms like fish, noodles, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried wonton skin, and salad. Oh oh I know, I ate humus too and that bread that goes with it. Ok, maybe DMSC and IG can help me out with the name of each dish.

DMSC: This stuff isn't Indian, APOO. It's eurasian, with the Mediterranean elements (humus and pita and pizza) alongside the asian influence (tofu, pancit noodles, chicken with thai peanut sauce). Lots of veggies too, which I LOVE!
APOO: I believe we all liked the food and were super full. I also like the conversation we had, with all that "smart-a$$" talk between DMSC and IG. And our zombie's story of "A Rat's Blood", ooooooo, exhilarating! Thank you all for celebrating with me :)

DMSC: Sorry, the zombie brings out the smart-a$$ in me.
