Food and music

Last Friday, I thought I'd have to give up our Friday buffet dinner in exchange for the musical we were watching. I was fine with it. But guess what, we still ended up in a buffet restaurant. LOL!

I picked up hubby from work at 5:30pm. He said he was famished. So we decided to just go straight to Nagaworld and have an early dinner prior to the 7pm show.

We decided to eat at Korean grill because hubby had not tried it yet. Unknown to us, that evening they were on buffet.

Since we were already inside, we decided to stay put. We were kind of in a hurry too.

This is my plate. Spicy, spicy food, even the rice (Kimchi fried rice). I was happy they had salmon sashimi. Yum!!!

Spicy fried noodles with seafood. Hubby and I shared this.

After dinner we rushed to one of the entertainment centers of the hotel, on the second floor. And I saw people wearing formal clothes, women wearing dresses and men wearing coats. Patay! *dies from embarrassment* Hubby and I were wearing casual attire. LOL! We hurriedly went to find our seats.

The show did not start until 7:30pm. It was opened by Cambodia's famous singer. I didn't catch the name when it was announced though.

She's a doll. My only problem was that her 5 songs were all in Khmer. Then it was followed by several dance numbers and a skit by their famous comedians (all in Khmer!). While the rest of the audienced laughed, we the non-Khmer speaking audience were a bit bored. Thankfully the opening acts lasted for thirty minutes only.

The 12 Girls Band from China. If they weren't good, I would have kicked myself for agreeing with hubby to watch this show.

They played for over an hour. They played Beethoven, Bach, Titanic's famous My heart will go on, and some of their own compositions.

This girl did a solo. I am not musical by any means, but I think it was great. I recorded her performance but for some reason I couldn't upload the video.

I had an awesome time. I am really glad I went to see this show.

I agree with the earlier comment. Nakakaaliw yung band name. Hahaha. I enjoy watching foreign musicals, but the Arabic songs strangely gives me headache. Ooops.
