from bach to madness

went for a performance by tang quartet @ esplanade concert hall. my first time at the concert hall.

why must the concert start at 7:30 pm?

it’s too early to have a proper dinner and make it in time for the concert!

can’t they start at 8 pm instead?!

because of the timing, decided to grab a bite before the concert instead of having a proper dinner. had boston clam chowder @ soup spoon @ raffles city. satisfying.

met kl & mx having dinner at out of the pan. actually more like wave at them when i was going up the escalator from the basement. haha…

the performance was not sold out. i’m not musically-trained or anything so i just go to enjoy the music. know nuts about movements, interpretations, and what not. so can’t give a proper review.

preferred the faster pieces. the final part with the pianist, albert tiu [whose picture looks uncannily like singapore idol judge, ken lim] was interesting.

the audience was truly in love with the quartet, getting them to come back for 2 encores with rapturous applause.

by the time the concert finished, it was too late to have dinner as most restaurants close at 10 pm. duh!

in the end, we settled for burgers @ carl jr @ marina square. had the santa fe chicken. not bad. the fries were freshly-made but oily and salty and the drinks are free flow.

a bit expensive since it's just glorified fast food.
