Hehe...it's a funny story and sort of "you had to be there" but it wasnt anything the restaurant did so no problems there :)

On the first weekend of June and Manic meeting in person (for a DPC GTG) June came over a few days early - the three of us went to this restaurant and June emptied the sugar bowl over Manic and also her wallet. I think it's a special Cuban way of attracting the man of one's dreams! ;o)

That was what I suposed...
I'm happy to meet all of you.

By the way, how are we gonna recognize each other? Should I wear my canon with the bigger lense I have (70-300 IS) with full zoom?
Just joking. I think we will recognized you by the wedding pictures.
Oh, and you can recognize me by this shot by Inma:

Yes, it's me!!! Any problem??

EDIT: that was what I suposed BEFORE Kavita answered me.

Table booked for 7 people at 6 pm under name KAVITA.
Asked for one in window so whoever gets there first, try and make sure we get that if not already occupied. I'll try and get there first myself.

To make sure you recognise me:

Lovely to meet Alex and Inma tonight and to see Matt and June again (though we did see them only yesterday). Not a typical GTG as we didn't do any photography (other than a few snapshots) but we certainly ate a LOT of chinese food.

For anyone feeling hungry we had mixed starters which included capital spare ribs, sesame prawn toasts, spring rolls, satay chicken skewers, crispy seaweed and then crispy duck in pancakes with hoi sin sauce. For mains we had chicken in black bean sauce, crispy shredded chilli beef, cantonese duck, choi sum in oyster sauce, deep fried scallops and lots of egg fried rice and noodles. YUM!

Hi all. Thank you very, very much for meeting us in London. It was a lovely dinner (and as you can see in Kavita's post, plenty of food). The restaurant was great. By the way, Kavita, thanks for posting the names of the food, now we now next time what to ask for.
When we have some time (I'm not sure when will that be) we'll post some of the photos we took.
That was our fist meeting with some DPCers and was great. Now we're waiting for the next one in Münster next july.
Thanks.

Álex and Inma.

Yes, I'll tell when we have photos online.

No, we finally didn't go to greenwich. We eat so much that were sleeping till too late, and I was confused about the time we have to leave London, so we couldn't go. We'll try next time we go.
