The Other Half

M and I went to dinner last night.  We were invited out by his boss and her husband in celebration of the new company.  It was a real treat!  We went to ChoLon Asian Bistro.  M and I probably never would have gone on our own, not because we don't like Asian food, but because we tend to stick close to home and we usually can't justify spending a lot of money for dinner.

The food was excellent!  The recommended course of dining is to go along with the family style type of service.  You are supposed to order a bunch of dishes and share.  I'm not a fan of lamb, but I ate it last night.  I even had lemon grass, brussel sprouts, cocunut jam with egg cloud on toast, and sea bass.  I drew the line at beef tartare.  I think my favorite of the night were the shrimp cakes, the coffee with condensed milk, and the bread pudding.  I had a few food orgasms and left in a food coma.

We even had wine with dinner--this is where I question sanity at dining at places like this.  We had two bottles of wine between the four of us.  I overheard that one of the bottles cost $78.

I did enjoy myself immensely, but my blog friends know me well.  I tried not adding up prices as we ordered.  I was glad not to have to pay the bill.

I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to go to places like this and not worry about the bill?  If I had money, would I ever worry about the bill?

After dinner, we went home.  We thought about going somewhere else to make the most of the night, but I wasn't up to drink anymore and we were both in food comas.  M's boss and her husband were going to the Four Seasons.  The Denver location had its opening this week.
