Well, since i won't be around, it looks like Leonard is planning this one folks (dammit! I wanna go too!!!):

The Olive @ 11032006

Right guys, just a quick post about this weekend's dinner since Pat will not be around and hence is unable to host.

We're headed to The Olive at Plaza Damas, that's the shops next to Hartamas Shopping Centre. So, as usual, dinner will be at 8:30 on Saturday. This restaurant comes recommended from Jo-Lyn who got this recommendation from someone else (I forget who).

So do call me (012-2077-653) or leave a message to tell me that you'll be present for dinner...preferably by Friday so that I can keep your seat warm for Saturday.

See you at dinner! Ciao~!

So yeah, if you're interest please leave a comment here.

The menu is extensive, with 50 items (excluding drinks), including 19 pasta dishes and four risotto. My colleague and I were enamoured from the start...
