Luke 5:16
I've got a question that's been bugging me.
Half Scottish by blood I chose to spend my gap year in Edinburgh & Glasgow. FTR, I enjoyed living in Glasgow a helluva lot more for all sorts of reasons. Much friendlier place (even for someone with an obviously English accent), much more to do, better arts & music scene, and much less of the rich/poor chasm that was so evident in Edinburgh. All of this was a long time ago now, so I don't know if that's still the case.
At one point I took my then girlfriend to a posh Chinese restaurant for a romantic meal out, and I've been trying to remember what it was called or at least where it was.
It was pretty unusual IIRC. It was in a park in Glasgow somewhere. I remember it as being in the middle of the park, but this was about 15 years ago now so may have actually been on the edge and we just walked across from the other side. The entrance was over a tiny bridge that crossed a little stream. May have been a natural stream, or may have been something created to give a little extra 'ambience', I don't know.
It was fucking pricey as I recall, but as I was on minimum wage as a waiter that doesn't necessarily mean much lol... I'd asked them to make it a bit special as it was either her birthday or our anniversary or something, and they'd done the whole heart-shaped balloons and glitter thing on the table. As I was 18/19 at the time it was probably my first grown-up romantic meal out so I thought that was amazing at the time. They also served us some sort of cocktail or dessert in half a hollowed-out coconut with sparklers and stuff, which seemed like the height of high-society living.
I expect the restaurant's changed hands several times since then - it could be a KFC now for all I know. But I really wish I could at least remember where the fuck it was!
Chinese restaurant in the middle (probably) of a park somewhere in Glasgow, with the entrance over a dinky bridge crossing a little stream.
Any ideas?
