Money Well Spent

In regards to food, there are two kinds of people in the world, those who eat to live, and those that who live to eat. I am of the later type. I pride myself in been a bit of a gourmet. I have been to almost all (save for maybe one or two) restaurants in male' and the connected islands (meaning hulhumale', villingili, hulhule,....yes even the new restaurant they recently opened in hulhule' island hotel). But there was someplace I always wanted to go, the Ocean Breeze restaurant in the hulhumale' ferry terminal. I never got around to going there because I don’t like eating alone, and honestly there wasn’t anyone I wanted to give such an expensive diner to. My friends have got beef steaks because I don’t like eating alone hehe....but this, was just too much.

Then last Friday, I heard that breaking fast at Ocean Breeze was 150 per person. Now this was a reasonable price. But still being reasonable broke these days after buying a Playstation 3, I still couldn’t pay for my two friends that I would have to take, it wouldn’t have been fair to just give one of them a treat. Of course giving one pretty darn good girl a treat, I could have and would have done (I know...its unfair, girls get too many free stuff :P). But alas, I had no girls to take either. But since I really wanted to go, I thought maybe I could talk my two good buddies’ into paying at least 100 for themselves. Luckily I managed to do this (Yes, I may seem like a manipulative bastard, but hey they got a good meal out of it XD), one of them paid there half in full, and the other a 100. After about 5 or so calls to the damn place (It was like fully booked almost every day for the entire week), we finally got a place for the very next day due to a cancelation.

The place was pretty damn good. The food was plentiful and awesome, I especially liked the beef. And even the place was super duper nice. Like we stepped into some other place. Every time the door opened for someone to come in and we saw the outside. It was like, what’s that garbage dump out there? This restaurant was definitely the nicest in male'. I ate like a LOT, I could barely move after I had finished. And desert was awesome too; French Vanilla ice-cream and some sort of biscuit fudge dish. I don’t even like biscuit fudge, but this...this was pretty darn good. So all in all it was 150 well spend. I still would like to go there for an open budget diner, as soon as I find someone...a.k.a a girl worth bringing....or as soon as the damn girl agrees XD.

And no jokes about am I paid to advertise Ocean Breeze. I am not, but it is a place worth checking out, do it before Ramadan passes or most of you wont be able to afford it.
