The weekly big lunch

A group of my uni friends have been organising their so called "weekly big lunch" for at least a month or so now. The "weekly big lunch" is the day where they pick a place to pig out! I've heard it's something along those lines about eating a big family feast from KFC and then to Maccus for a Sundae.

Today, the selected spot for the weekly big lunch was Yum Cha at Bondi Junction. I was the lucky guest of the week to join them(Aidan, Michael, Brian and Sam).
I got in the car, the conversation was purely "boys talk". Got me thinking, yeah i used to hang out with these guys and it has always been like that,it felt like i havent hang out with these people for a long time that i was getting not used to the conversation. Heh...
None of them were really looking forward to it except for 3 of us. One was just really obssesed with KFC while one other person was just "yeah...whatever".

We got to Westfield at 1-ish. Went up to lvl 6..."Ahh! There it is!! Whao shit! it looks Aussie-fied". The diners were mostly well-dressed, middle-aged australians with friends and family.We seem to be the only uni students there. Unlike the yum cha places in China Town,packed with old folks, chinese family, youngsters...
First thing that popped on my mind was "This place is too grand! i wouldn't go to a place like this on a Wednesday for lunch".

So we took our seats, 5 of us sitting in really big comfortable chairs, started our first round. Me and Sam stopped after the 2nd round, and 3 of them just kept going like they were deprived of food. Two more "har gow", two more "siew mai", two more "dan tart"...and they call it quits.

The bill came up to $25 per person. Well i wasn't surprised. I guess the service was allright, at least it wasn't the usual people pushing the trolley with bad attitude, the food was allright as well but just abit overpriced. Don't think i'd ever go back for yum cha though :P
