Reeds – Upscale Thai themed restaurant
Saturday night. My mind was set on spending a great part of it at Swe Bar and Lounge (primarily because I had heard that it is a cool place to while away time in the midst of drinks and flat screen TVs). But, sometime in the day, I lost the urge to give my liver the prime job of filtering alcohol, so I convinced my friend, Wale, to chauffeur me around town.
First, we visited the e-center at Sabo, but for a Saturday night, it was unusually dull. Sorry, it was UNUSUALLY DULL. (Emphasis intended). He received a call from a client to come to Victoria Island, so off we headed to the Island. In our characteristic manner, he called the client and postponed the appointment to Sunday. Perfection.
Still we were headed to the Island, so we agreed to just pop in to Swe Bar, but he doesn’t drink. Mind changed. Again. How about Feeds? He asked. I replied, no problem. We got there and I corrected him, its called Reeds and not Feeds. Correction taken.
We tried strutting in. Yes, I said tried. The security man wouldn’t let us in. My friend was in shorts. I was in leather slippers. I was ok, he wasn’t. Still we convinced him to let us in. And no, we did not bribe him.
Inside, I experienced some kind of serenity that was worth every kobo I spent there. You need to have a business dinner? This is the place for it. You need to impress that lady? (note: I did not use the word chick) This is the place for it. You just feel like lazing about? This is not the place for it.
I ordered a shot of Remy Martin VSOP. Needed something to start the night with. I called a lady friend of mine and she advised me not the get drunk. I gave a simple reply…with their prices, its going to have to be a very expensive drunkenness. Wale doesn’t drink, so we had to order food. 
Nice looking menu. Then again, I am not used to restaurants of this class. All the items on the menu looked the same (save for the description of what was contained – which all still looked very similar). Good waiter, he helped me make a decision. I chose the Gai Pad Med.
(i didnt take any pictures, found these on the web. got’em from here and here. my order was similar to that in the distance)
It was a lovely meal. Period. Ordered a Fruit Punch. Wale ordered a Milkshake and a Chapman. I ordered the bill.
We left and headed for home. We spent about 2 hours there and enjoyed every bit of it. Now, I heard All Roads Lead to Bacchus down the road. Tomorrow?
