Nicole and I decided to meet up for lunch last Saturday. The first and the last time we met each other was last summer, I think? I know it’s been a while and she wasn’t able to meet with Simmie and Leena two weekends ago for my b’day, I thought it would be nice if she could have an afternoon out. I am just up for anything during the weekend. We agreed on Cheesecake Factory since I have not been to this place with its famous cheesecakes.
The one we went to was out in Southdale Mall. It has been 5 years since I last stepped foot at that mall. There were so much changes. So many new restaurants around the area. If I remember right the last time I was there, it was still Daytons, not Marshall Fields or Macy’s!! Yeah that long ago. Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang’s never existed in the mall. We didn’t turn up having our lunch there. Nicole and I didn’t wanna wait 30 minutes to be seated. That Cheesecake place was packed filled with heads. We got there right at lunch time.
We headed to PF Chang’s which is just right next door. Not much of a wait but the food was good, but tried it once, I won’t go again that kinda of thing. We shared a lettuce wrap chicken wrap thing, kung pao chicken, and Spore noodle hawker style kinda dish.
After a taste of Chinese, I wanted to get some cheesecake home and headed to the Cheesecake Factory for fattening takeouts.
Next, the wonderful experience of driving to the Asian store, United Noodles. I have been there several times but each time I have never driven there. Simmie was the one driving and how she gets there was by different directions. Got me all confused! I just gotta say I’m totally useless when it comes to learning new places.
I called Simmie and left her a message to give us directions how to get to United Noodles while Nicole and I were still in the car on the parking lot at Southdale. By the time she called we were way passed the exits she wanted us to take. Here I was talking on the cellphone while driving 65 – 70 mph on the freeways (35W and 94), and yet when I see someone doing that I bitched at them. The pot is calling the kettle black!!
We finally got there and many thanks to Simmie. Don’t know what to do without that girl 
By the time Nicole and I were done shopping it was almost 4:30. We made our way back to Chanhassen and dropped her off. It was a very nice afternoon. I wish I can do that every week!
When I got home SD and BF were there chatting with DB. They hung around till passed 6:30 p.m. And we had to puppy sit Chase the next day, Sunday.
