Quality of food is dependent on service and company

Today was spectacular. Spectacularly full of food, that is. I am such a glutton, I scare myself sometimes.

Dinner was with the cousins at Newton Circus. Tons of people say that the place is over-rated and over-priced. But I honestly do not mind spending a little more for a comfy environment and for good service.

There wasn't excessive touting except for this one stall. It's a month old and it prides on serving "different" food from the other stalls. How different is this place? Nasi Lemak, Nasi Padang and the likes. Like seriously? People come here to get their fingers and hands dirty eating seafood, shellfish and the likes. Why would anyone want to travel all the way there just to eat something ordinary and which can be found cheaper elsewhere? I was very annoyed with how pushy the stall owner was. It was bordering on pain-in-the-ass and desperation. You could see it on his face.

I like Goodman. Always tasty food and always efficient service. Plus, the dude has tons of stories and jokes to share! We truly enjoyed ourselves and stuffed ourselves silly as well.
