^^A Dracula night^^
I’ve always passed by this place adjacent to RMIT called Dracula, a theatre restaurant. But somehow it never got into the “Things I want to do before I leave Melbourne” list. And yday, instead of hving the usual birthday dinner, Adeline suggested tht we should all dine & try out Dracula’s. Why not? After all, I’ve always love to try new things & ehem! new food. ;P
Apparently u need to book n they dun accept walk-in customers. Oh well, Adeline bought the tic at half price. What I first thought was tht it’s a restaurant decorated w scary Dracula masks & props and of course, waiters & waitresses in full Dracula costume. Later I found out tht not only did the waiters & waitresses dressed up in full Dracula costume & make up but also act like one. All of them look like they’re gonna suck the blood off my neck any minute. At least if I dun behave.
First they usher us into this room for a brief greeting & then tick our names off fr this ancient Harry-Porter-look-alike book. Then, again we were all usher into this waiting room where they have a bar & more props & scary waiters walking around. Then, the weirdest thing happened. All patrons have to sit on a ghost train ride to the restaurant. It’s exactly like a roller coaster minus the speed. And as expected, along the way there are fake ghost w clever lightings designed to raise yr hair. The scariest part was the last bit when a real Dracula scare us w a saw. The whole ride Adeline & I cling to each other.. with me closing half of my eyes, screaming at the top of my lungs. Hah~~
Dracula waiters served us w entrée & our main while we feast our eyes looking at their weird behaviour, outrageous make up & costumes. Mind u, it isn’t those ordinary fake politeness of, “Excuse me maam, what would u like to have?” but more of like the rough eerie Dracula voice of, “ARGHHH… CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER?”… plus the occasional spine-chilling stare.
The highlight of the night was definitely the stand-up comedy. Being the usual me, I laughed my ass off while throwing my head back & forth coz the Draculas really made a great effort in entertaining us w their jokes around the theme Fangs & Fetish. Not only jokes bout Draculas but race, celebrities, sex, grandmothers & flat chest (no wonder I can relate to tht!). There’s this once, this Aussie Dracula comedian lookd at us & shoutd “Hello Ma-lai-sia!!!”.. looked back at her partner, pointed at his penis & said “Pisang kecik!”.. wooohahahahahaha..
What can I say, it was an extraordinary experience & hopefully, a memorable 21st for Adeline. :) Glad tht u like the pressie..
