Every once in a while, every girl needs a girls’ night out. It doesn’t matter how many girlfriends you spend your time with. What does matter is the female companion whom you can trust and can share your feelings, emotions, and life with. We all need that kind of female support where we don’t have to prove ourselves continuously, like the reality where we somehow have to justify why we are doing what we are doing (if you know what I mean). Having a girls’ night out usually involves a lot eating, drinking and interesting stories. For me, the perfect girls night is spending the night at the girlfriend home and eat-drink-eat-drink XD. So last Friday I had a reunion with my girlfriends whom I don’t see or talk that often as we used to, but when we are reunited it feels like the old times =). We all lead a different life, we all have distinct personalities where we approach life differently yet we still manage to maintain this friendship because we simply respect each other. For me that’s friendship, respecting each other and accepting for who they are no matter in what phase they are in life.
The night started at a new burger restaurant in Rotterdam: Ellis Gourmet Burger. The burgers, fries and the home made ice tea were great! I chose the trio mini burger, which included the classic, chicken and lamb burger. Out of the three burgers, the lamb burger was definitely the most delicious one. The ambience was cozy, but the staff was pretty stressed and chaotic. Obviously they lacked in manpower, since there were only two personnel in a full booked restaurant. We had to wait quite a while before we could actually order, and when we wanted to order dessert, we were told to wait which we did but after a while we just decided to go and have dessert somewhere else. Having said this, you could see the personnel doing their best they can, but the stress got the best of them. I would still want to go back to this place, primarily wanting to taste their ice burger, but maybe on a Monday instead on a Friday =)

Afterwards we went to NHOW bar, where you can choose a wide variety of drink/ cocktails. I would definitely recommended this place to everybody mainly due to the ambience. It’s a nice place where you can hang out and just relax. We had our dessert (Tiramisu with coffee chocolate mouse and Pear with Lavender Sabayon and maple caramel ice cream), which was quite disappointing, because I was expecting a more “WOW” taste, but it was quite average. However the plating were lovely!
