victoria less bitter (VLB)

huge banner outside regent hotel promoting the deal

the bar where we paid for our steaks & drinks. drinks are compulsory (hehe...never hear tis word for a long time. eg. "attendance for sports day is compulsory") for the $5 offer to be valid. other half had a victoria bitter (VB) while i had an orange juice. it turned out that i quite like VB after i took a sip of it. ironically, it turned out less bitter (despite the name. think it shld be renamed to victoria less bitter or VLB) than some other beers other half has been experimenting with, where i stole a sip from. i might get it the next time he makes a trip to the bottle shop.

here's where we tell the chef how well we want our steak to be done, the sauce that goes on top, etc. we ordered "medium" for our meat and it turned out quite bloody. maybe by australia's standards where pple can take their beef very raw, we shld order "medium well' the next time.

a pool table within the pub...but too bad, i play no pool.
