So here we are sitting in the middle of Café de Paris Monte-Carlo at 11:30 PM on a very busy Tuesday evening, people watching, commenting and gawking at all that is happening around us. Unbeknownst to me, there were high class prostitutes soliciting their services to almost any man that looked like he might bite. They even approached us!
Our waiter came over without any menus and had to scramble to find them. We ordered four drinks: a mojito, two beers and a Maldives, a speciality drink. Oh, and we also ordered water for the table. When our waiter returned, he supplied us with two mojitos, two beers, water and missed the Maldives. Whatever! We were a little annoyed, but we didn't want to go through the trouble, and I was happy enough to drink two glasses of mojito instead of one, of course.
After ordering, I naturally put the menu beside me thinking I got this, but half an hour later, the waiter comes back looking for the menu because, again, he was scrambling to find menus to give out to his tables. He gave the menu to a pair of prostitutes sitting right behind us. I eyed the menu the whole time waiting for the opportune time to get it back.
Lucky for me, one of the prostitutes called someone from our table over to theirs, and he went. I was watching the reaction from other tables and I can see them making faces and gawking at my friend for talking with the prostitutes, but I didn't care. I found it funny, actually. The ladies invited my friend and all of us back to their magical palace, but seriously? Of course we didn't accept, can you imagine? My friend also mentioned to them that two people in our party don't like girls and he asked them to guess which two, but he never told me the answer, so I'll never know.
So as my friend was chatty with the ladies, I decided to ask him if I can see the menu and the ladies agreed, so I decided to order a chocolate sundae. I had seen other tables ordering it and it looked magnificent.
Served in a tall glass, with scoops of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, drizzled with dark chocolate and served with a chocolate (what looked like a) mini frying pan that contained chocolate syrup that you can pick up and pour extra syrup on to this delicious dessert. In addition, there were 3 thin chocolate sticks and a triangular almond biscuit that completed this divine treat. Three words: TO DIE FOR!
As the evening passed, and with the menu still at our table, our friend decided to come back so the prostitutes can make some real investments as they realized they weren't getting any action or money from us. Earlier, our party purchased cigars, which they had smoked while we were sitting, and I took the shopping bag and placed it over the menu. We paid our bill, and left. I was really pleased and excited about having my first menu from Europe that I collected myself.
