Friday part 2

After work, I met up with lian for dinner, then after that we head on to this microbrewery and met up with souplad.

Archipelago microbrewery is one of its kind. My 2nd time actually. First time, the place was empty on a Saturday night. But friday is packed with people, from work, some farangs, and not to mention cute singapore girls.

They are popular for their handcraft beer, Traveller's Wheat, Trader's Ale and Straits Pale. Traders Ale i think its the more popular one. Lian likes it, I likes it , and Souplad likes it. Traders Ale have gula melaka you know. However, I prefer Straits Pale amongst the three because of it being more hoppy. Anyways, check out the website http://www.archipelagobrewery.com/ .
A good place to chill out especially when you get tired of those bottled beers. A place to round up a party of 3 -4 , more than that would be slight uncomfortable. Those beers are 10+ each.
Yes, it allows smoking, no 10% rule here yet.

my other favorite brewery would be Brewerkz which is famous for its IPA ( my fav).

After Archipelago, we adjourned to Rav with BeerBrat and an old friend who just got back from Japan. The website , http://www.rav.com.sg/ . Dead place. I was here 2 weeks ago with souplad and we can't get in cos its too pack but now its swatting fly ( ta wu ying). Talk about ups and downs of the entertainment industry. Anyways settle down here because of the promo (gimmick), buy one and get the next one for 10 cents, go figure.

Fun started when we played Liars Dice ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar ) . Loser drinks. After that, we played a slightly different version of the game. Instead of dices, we uses toothpicks. Ya, liar toothpicks. Had Hard time to figure out the game ( booze effect ) but eventually we did. Each player has 5 pieces of toothpicks. Each player will then choose the numbers of toothpick they wish to play. If you choose 2, take 2 toothpicks and clasped them in your fist. After all player put forward the fist with the toothpicks in it, 1st player start by guessing the minimum number of toothpicks he thinks is in this round. IT goes clockwise to the next player who has two choices now. Either he call it a bluff ( he thinks there are less toothpicks than the number he called) or he has to call out a new minimum which is higher than the previous one. The game continue until someone calls bluff, and then all fist open to reveal the total of the toothpicks there. IF the total toothpicks if more than the minimum called, the person who calls bluff, drinks. And if the total toothpicks is less than the minimum, the person who calls the minimum , drinks.




I think we shall call this Liar's toothpicks. ( Nga chim em kong dai wah).

We played untill wee hours in the morning and the last one in Rav.

This proceed on with supper and then home sweet home. Not bad for a friday night out.
