Restaurant Week

March 28, 2010

Restaurant Week Singapore: “Dining in a high quality restaurant is generally an expensive matter, except during Restaurant Week. From Monday the 22nd till Sunday the 28th of March high quality restaurants will serve a special three course dinner for a fixed price of s$35++ and a three course lunch for s$25++. Restaurants awarded with a DiningCity Star can ask an additional fee of s$15 for lunch and s$20 for dinner.”

Being an ultimate foodie, I definitely couldn’t miss going! And I am so fortunate that I went for not one, but four meals during the one week. But the best part was really that I was eating out with all the people I love(: Makes the already nice food even nicer!

The Song of India

Aub and I went for some really exotic food on the first day. When we first stepped into the restaurant, we were pretty overwhelmed by the ‘smell’, and got a little worried about what was coming up the rest of the night. Hahah. But honestly, other than the complimentary, which was one of those i-don’t-know-what-is-it-exactly-and-it-doesn’t-taste-very-nice dish, the starter and main course was actually pretty good! And we love the roti prata! I think overall the food and experience was above our expectations!

OTTO Ristorante

I totally love what they have on their menu! Definitely looking forward to return to try their regular dishes. The food was good and very much to my liking! Except that Aub’s Spaghetti with Sea Urchin had no sign or trace of sea urchin in it, which left us really puzzled. Hahah. But I think the spaghetti tasted really good!

Michelangelo’s

Lunch on a Friday afternoon with Huka! The first thing I noticed was the change in interior decor! The last time I was here (which is about 3, 4 years ago? :x ), it had a really cosy setting and ambiance! Now, its more of just being atas looking. Don’t really like it. I remembered that they serve really really good tiramisu as well, and I was hoping that it would be part of the menu for Restaurant Week. Sadly it isn’t. But still, the food was good as usual, and definitely worth the price of S$25++! The food portion was pretty much the same as the S$55++ dinners. It is probably the ‘best deal’ of the week! Hahah!


One on the Bund

Mummy have been complaining that I always dine at nice eating places but never introduce or bring her, so I thought that I should bring daddy and mummy to one of the Chinese restaurants for Restaurant Week as well! I think it is a really cool place and super atas! So atas that mummy and I were a little bit scared to even enter the restaurant at first instance. Haha. But honestly feel that the food does not fit the price. The only thing I liked was the Handmade Shanghai Noodles, and maybe the nice presentation of food. Hahah. I guess we’re really paying for the ambiance more than anything. Well, anyways it was an experience and daddy and mummy had a good time!(:

Super sinful and fattening week! But it was worth every single calorie I had. The fate of foodie I guess! :D

Now I have no more excuses.

maybe I played a part in it, but I’m just too tired to bother right now.

Uncontrollable

March 26, 2010

This is the second time in a week I’m coming home with shopping bags. Both times I was out shopping with Huka. Gawd. Why do we always end up buying stuffs when go shopping together! Hahah. Huka figured that probably it is because we always agree with each others taste and so anything that we try on, we end up buying them. So bad. Hahah. But still, I guess that is partly the reason why the girl is one of my favourite shopping buddy!(: And I think the other reason is really because she is one of the few who doesn’t judge me. Yes, I am very aware that I am a shopaholic and I do not need you to remind me thank you very much. I cannot understand when people get upset with me spending extravagantly when it is my money that I am spending. So long as I have the capacity to spend and I am not borrowing your money to support my shopping sprees, why should it matter to you. All I ask is the simple question of, “do you think it is nice?” and that is all I want to know. I mean even my parents and boyfriend doesn’t have a problem with me, so where is all these people coming from seriously?! Bah.

Anyways, back to happy things. I simply love all the good buys today! ❤ Shopping makes me happy! Very happy.(:

We talked about one of those under-the-carpet issue today, and I find it very sad indeed. Feels like everything is just for show to deceive ourselves, and even others. Maybe people just have to take a ‘lil more initiative and don’t worry so much about things not going to work out after. And I guess it takes a bit more effort as well. But I think, there is always this thin line between what you and the other party wants. Oh well.

Sometimes I really think life is a ‘lil too complicated for me.

Site visit to City Square Mall. I like how we actually look like some professional building authorities in the photo. Haha. Not that I aspire to be one in reality. It was really not fun going around trying to identify all the green features. But I think we were quite productive! Hopefully the project goes on fine from here.

Did a bit of shopping with the girls after. The little things that brighten up a tiring day!(:

Gawd. Super fat legs): It is depressing. I have been eating A LOT lately and I guess it doesn’t help at all. Sigh. Next week. I will have no more excuses then.

There is no need to announce to the world.

Some things are better left unsaid,

so start learning.

Maybe things will get better then.

Taking the longest to come up with this post, which is kind of an irony because it is Aub’s birthday celebration post. I’m so sorry sweetie! ): But I have been so uber busy nowadays that time spent on blogging seem to have become a luxury.

So anyways, the celebration was at the Barracks Cafe at House.

A lifestyle concept space that houses a spa, cafe and bar.

The menu came in the form of a newspaper!

Old-fashioned American Sliders with Truffle Fries

One-meter-long Sausage

Wild Truffled Mushroom Skinny Pizza

Barracks Strawberry Shortcake for the birthday boy

Really enjoyed the food and I simply love their chic vintage interior furnishings and food presentation. UOB card holder gets a 10%-off-your-next-visit voucher, so I expect it to mean that I’ll be returning soon! Hee.

Hope that it had been an awesome twentysix for you sweetie! ❤

feeling exhausted.

I am now back to square one.

Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

):

Miny dear’s twentytwo birthday celebration at Everything with Fries!

Food was nothing fanciful but tasted great nevertheless! Basically, as the name suggests, they had a different types of fries that we get to choose from to go along with the mains. Since there were four of us, we got to try all the different flavours!

Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich and Curry Fries

Pork Cutlet Sandwich and Salt and Vinegar Fries

Grilled Pork Chop and Sour Cream and Onion Fries

Grilled Pork Chop and Garlic and Herbs Fries

Skinny Wings

Millie Crepe

Nutella Tart with Ice Cream

Food aside, the company was great too. Talked about the craziest things with the girls, like how we shall celebrate our sixty and eighty. Hahah. Well if we do get there, yes, I want my teo chew porridge! (:

Wandered the streets of Holland Village after the really satisfying dinner. With nothing much to shop, we ended up cam whoring. Very typical of us. Haha.

After the failed attempt to persuade haydee and huka to dye the same hair colour as us.

Favourite shot of the day!

Group photo(:

Yet another awesome girls night out. Although it is a ‘lil belated,

Happy Birthday Miny Dear! <3 Hope you had a great one today.(:


It is an opportunity so hard to come by and I really really really want it. I just hope I had not screwed things up. Please no. ):

Time to love
