The week has started and I sure have a busy schedule which consists of studying as usual. Right now, it's time to literally cut the crap and work hard to pass everything. So what do you think I did today? Studying? No....of course not! I went to a bar. XD
Yeah! I know I should stay at home studying on a monday evening but that's not how it turned out. However, I am not ashamed to say that I'm glad I went there. That place is called La distillerie.

So my cousin works there and she asked me many times to visit her. I wanted to go there but I was busy all the time with exams. By the way, I am still sick. The coughing is a problem. But enough is enough. It's time to go visit her and see what this place is all about. She suggested me to go on a monday instead because it is less busy and she could come sit next to me and have a chat with us. Since i don't have class, it fitted my schedule. It's also ok to take a break once in a while right?
When I told my mom that I am going to a bar, I expected her to flip out because asian girl aren't suppose to go to such places. I explained to her that it's not what it seems. So after all, she decided to tag along. @_@ LOL! We parked the car and went inside. The music was loud but fun. As soon as the waiter saw us, he welcomed us with a big smile. As soon as my cousin saw me, she also welcomed and waved at us to sit next to her.
We talked a bit and finally, it was her time to shine! Since we sat at the bar, we could see the awesome moves of the bartender. Even my mom was impressed. ;o What did we order? :)
I know the quality of my picture is a little dark! Sorry about teh qulity of my cellphone. *_* But it was great! Most of their specialities are served in a masson jar. The red drink on the left is really good. That was my mom's. It tasted peaches and strawberry. It also has a pinch of almond. Well, I was simply eavesdropping when the bartender was coaching my cousin. There was more ingredients but I don't know they were.It was absolutely wonderful. Once sip and you would be inan exoctic country. It didn't contain alcohol though since my mom didn't want any in it but it still tasted great. As for the jar in the middle, it's Goldfish salted cookies! XD The brown drink on the right was mine. It's a creamy drink with a little hint of alcohol. My cousin peaked at my mom while she was sipping her drink and winked at me! :P Mine consisted of brown beer,bailey's, cream, and other stuff that I can't remember. She added maple syrup at the end... If i could describe the taste of it in one word, that would be love.
You must give it a try. Our drinks were customized so they aren't in the menu. Well mine was in it but it was modified to my taste. So it's great. You can make different combination and even my cousin told me that you could bring your own ingredients to make your drink. If you don't like alcohol, that's ok because you can also have your drink alcohol free just like my mom's.
Would I go there again? Yes!!! I asked my mom the same before we entered the bar and she said no because it's in downtown and it's far from home. Then I asked her one more time when she finished her drink and she said YES with a big smile! ;) The employees are very friendly and we really had a great time.
So this is a great way to start the week. Enjoy! XD
