So as most of you know (from two entries back) my 21st birthday was last Thursday! On the day itself Gay took me out on a special date to celebrate! We had dinner at the Vineyard Café, a charming little courtyard restaurant tucked away in the hutongs around the Yonghegong area.
Getting ready at home!
Pauline and Bong were in the meantime heading to Xidan for the first of Bong’s gastronomic adventures! More about that in the next entry.
At Vineyard Café! We had Potato skins for our appetizers (please note the DOF thanks to my lousy camera’s macro function!)
Food Food lots of food! We shared the Quattro Formaggi pizza and meatball spaghetti for our mains and everything were DELISH

Finally a not so blurry shot of me…
Vineyard by night.
Not many pictures but it really was a lovely night. After our meal we sat there for a bit just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company as Gay had a post dinner cocktail. It’s been forever since we went out on a date, and an unexpectedly perfect way to celebrate the passing of another year, and the coming of age (OKAY CHEEZE I KNOW) .
