Medan Kota

Alcohol… I just can’t take it… the maximum I can drink is like 3 gulps of BEER, and that’s about it… anymore of that, I will not get drunk, in fact, my body won’t even pass through the drunk stage, but instead, I will simply fall flat on the ground… a lot of people asked me why… honestly, I don’t even know myself..

With that, to ask me to write anything about bar, honestly, I am in no position to do so at all…  since I don’t step into pub or bar that much, I can’t tell what’s good and what’s bad or how it should be one.. the proper ideal one.. but, of course I am able to tell which is the one that I will have fun going to..… that’s also why, you never see me write about night life both for this blog as well as in MedanKu.com..

The Prime Bar at JW Marriott Hotel Medan, is probably the first bar that I walked into in Medan, I have not even been to Retro at Capital Building… (I can imagine many of you thinking I am living a ‘nun’ life… well, sort of but not exactly so too)… I was told that the live band would start at 10 pm… and that I’ve got to experience that… well well well… just hearing the time @ 10pm, my little voice was already telling me that I am going to miss putting my boys to bed, I have to miss the opening hours of the Dows, I have too much stuff to upload to the website … so, I told Ms PR that, 7pm is fine for me…

and oh! I was even supposed to do wine tasting… but I just can’t.. can’t as in… how on earth am I gonna come out with words to describe how the wine taste like… so, I sort of decline her offer… hahahaa… now, I can hear many of you thinking “what a stupid silly girl she is”

ok, the bar is situated right below the Prime Steakhouse, the aim is that guests will come in for dinner and followed with the Bar thereafter… well thought out I would say… not sure if that is exactly what guests choose to do…

The Beverage manager was a little surprised that I don’t drink,…. apart from selected carbonated drink, I live on plain mineral water… after having just finished off meal at the M. Gourmet, I was rather in need of Aqua… so when I asked for one, he was literally laughing off me… “you are in one of the most prestigious and most happening bar in Medan, and you want an Aqua!!!” and mr hubby, laughed so too at me.. and they both decided on Mocktail on my behalf… which is nice… there are good meanings behind those house mocktail…and named by the manager himself..

My hubby, not a nightlife person but god knows where he learnt how to drink, I have no clue… was really in for the fun……the Manager gave him a shot at ‘Flaming Lamborghini’..  it was definitely a good experience one to play with for free… hehhehehe…., but knowing that I will not be able to describe much, as I have no absolute clue to terms used in the Bar, I took a short vdo clip… at Rp 120.000++ a shot, it’s probably one of the fastest money sucking you can just drown into your stomach… well, for us anyway… watch the vdo clip and you will see why… with food, you still need to chew, but with drinks, esp this one… you’re being ordered to suck fast to have the maximum effect…

thinking back… I am so ashamed of myself… can you imagine, I was asking the manger if the bar is smoke free or have any non smoking area… at times, I do feel like I am so disconnected with the real world…

The place is nice IMO, it’s brightly lit up… not the dimly lighted ones, so I can see everything clearly most of the times… it’s a good reasonable size place… I felt safe, at least I don’t feel like I am in some crippy place… a nice place to just hang out with friends over drinks, I would say…
