Thursday night was the second time I had drinks at the "Divine Wine Extraordinaire" at Parkview square. For those of you folks who haven't been reading my blog, that's the place where there's a 3 storey high wine cellar and a "fairy" that flies up and down. We had absolutely no difficulty getting in (that's 2 out of 2 times already!) and even got good seats where we could have a good view of the live band! The place was quite empty, just the way I like it, and the singer was really really good. The lighting was good, the service was good, the decor, which never fails to impress me, added the final touch to create the perfect ambience....
The only thing lacking was that nobody seemed to have ordered a bottle on that night, so we didn't get to see the "fairy" in action. In fact the "fairy" had to double up as waitress since there was nothing for her to do..... But it was alright, our attention was captivated by the songstress anyway. We walked around after closing and noticed that what makes Parkview Square unique is its unusual mix of ancient and modern. The building really is a modern building, yet it has all these greek vases, gothic ornaments, and statues of great people of the past. And that weird artpiece on one wall of well-dressed modern people dancing in front of an ancient egyptian man standing next to egyptian building columns just amazes me! It's the kind of mix of old and new that just makes the place so mysterious! Oh and there's also that golden goose out in the courtyard with chinese inscriptions below it, totally out of place! Feng Shui maybe?
