| - Thursday June Fourth. I, with good reason, finally make it to Twin Fish. The good reason, It is my first man date. Seriously. A meeting between two male strangers in a highly reviewed Thai restaurant. Ok, you must be wondering why I would meet a male stranger in a Thai restaurant. Well, let's all go back a couple months ago.
Rivergrove Community Centre Pool. I was taking a break from swimming laps in the pool when I was approached by this individual who entertained me in conversation regarding my underwater headset. This pool side encounter prompted an awkward in change room conversation regarding this and that and well,, we exchanged cell phone numbers. In the change room!!!??? No,, we didn't talk in the shower or towel whip one one another either. To tell you all the truth, I didn't expect anything to come from this awkward meeting but he called me a week later. We exchanged texts even made some attempts at meeting at the pool for lane swims. But alas, to both our dismay, nothing came of it up until two weeks ago!!!! To my surprise I had just missed a call from my stranger buddy, but no voice mail. So what does Benny do? I call him back and leave a voice mail. Well, a week goes by with no response and out of the blue, while snugglin in bed with my Baes, he calls. Omg,,,,. Should I answer or should I just let it go to voice?!?! I answer. We exchange pleasantries, send texts back and forth to one another, and to sum it up, a lunch date is set. Twin Fish here I come!!
Back to the present. It is one o'clock, I enter the restaurant and I am immediately surprised with the restos contemporary design and crowd. I was bit jaded when I initially walked up to the place but was proved wrong. I quickly eyeball the patrons seated in the resto but do not see my stranger buddy. Anywho, I am promptly greeted by a host. He inquires as to my table requirements and I proudly state, " a table for two please, I am meeting someone here". One fifteen. I have strategically seated myself so I can see all who enter the restaurant. Fashionably late I think to myself. I order a Thai Beer - Singha. Well, two beers later and on an empty stomach,,, wait,,,,,, cue music, All by Myself - Eric Carmen version please.
"When I was young, I never needed anyone,,,,,All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself, anymore".
My text to my stranger buddy read as follows, "I want to think that you are running late, but on this fine afternoon, optimism is not one of my strong suits". Cue music,,,,,
"All by myself, don't wanna be,,,,".
I call the host and and advise him that I would be dining alone today. Lmfao. I was ditched. Left for dead. I must Yelp this. Lol.
My order from the Lunch Express Menu: one Mango Salad w/Chicken Satay and to wash that down with, one Basil Fish please and thank you. OMG. Mango Salad w/Chicken Satay. Soooo good. Chicken moist and so delicious combined with peanut sauce. Mango Salad portion was huge and so tasty. I only wish it had more heat to it. Next time I will ask for Thai Spicy and see what they come out with. The Basil Fish. Kudos to the chef. He has come up with a winner here. I ate slowly and savoured each heavenly bite. The Snapper was breaded and cooked to perfection. All the elements, from the basil sauce to the peppers, in this dish melded together in perfect harmony. Oh man. My only beef with Twin Fish was the daily soup that came with my Basil Fish dish. Pituey! Augh! . Hot and Sour my battie-ol! I ate it all anyways. Lol. . BTW. Wifi password is, "godblessyou". Peace out my fellow Yelpers.
