MASSIVE UPDATE: MAY/JUNE 2009

  • Jun. 21st, 2009 at 8:06 AM
HEARTSHAPED CAKE








Sorry for the mth long hiatus... been busy with the new house/work/
been HELP-less for 1 wk plus after my previous helper returned to
Philippines after 4 yrs in Spore.

 


We had a small housewarming aka BBQ.
Some of the crabs which i bot having their 'spa' ....


I've never cooked in my life... but i did try cooking 3 types of soup
+ dishes using the Panasonic microwave/grill oven.  Even though i
cooked only v basic stuff, i already find the whole experience tedious
n exhausting!
I think my forte lies only in... EATING.





Hubby cooked these. I forgot to take the 3rd soup i made :P

 

More Food Pix:

LTN Kopitiam: Thai Food


XIN BA LI: aka Beach Rd Prawn Mee's pricier sibling



Bill came up to $42 ( 2 bowls of Jumbo Prawn Mee, 2 drinks, 1 Mixed Ngor Hiang Platter )

THIS Bowl of prawn mee was fr the old stall along East Coast Rd


Difce btn Xin Ba Li and Old Stall:
1) Their Jumbo Prawn Mee costs $2 more over at XBL
2) Over @ XBL, Ngor Hiang comes in sets. cant pick n choose.
3) U get to dine in comfort in XBL + dun hv to wait for seats.



MANHATTAN FISH MKT: Mini Lobster Platter.

1 for 1 offer @ $42.90

LE VIET: 
Everydish was nice except for their vermicelli. The kuay teow i tabao was also tasteless.
Lesson learnt: never order their rice/noodle dishes






WHITE DOG CAFE @ VIVOCITY

ordered 3 teatime sets @ $6.90 each. Verdict? Their cakes are below average.




BIO-GEL MANICURE:
my 1 mth old BioGel Polish
SEE? it doesnt chip at all!!!  But i muz say its pricey... i paid $20 to soak
off the previous polish ( only special nail remover polish can be used ) +
$70 for new Bio Gel Polish.

My 3rd Bio Gel Polish.
 My pix doesnt do justice to the glittery
bits which is more shimmy IRL.


SHOES:  Fr In Her Shoes ( @ ILUMA ) and RIVER ISLAND

love the blingy bits!!  nail colour: OPI's Rosy Mistletoe-sies







L'OCCITANE: Olive Goodness.


KS me decided to restock on the Ltd Edition Shea Butter Body Cream even tho im only 1/3
thru my 1st jar. I love it so much!  The Verbena Salt Scrub seemed to hv shrunk in size? but not the price *roll eyes*  Bot 2 shampoos: The Olive Golden Branch ( dif fr their normal Olive range i think? ) and a Verbena shampoo. Wonder y the Lavender clarifying shampoo is OOS for so long *hmpf*  SOAPS.... yes the gd old soap... L'Occitane makes 1 of the most luxurious soaps!

My GWP...


CLOTHES:

fr Utopia


Fr Forntieer




 fr Dorothy Perkins. Err, the blue bits are
supposed to look purplish *lol*


EAST OCEAN TEOCHEW RESTAURANT: Celebrated Mom's Bday

hubs specially ordered these longevity buns for my mom.

Cow ordered 5 sets of their $79++ menu. We were able to apply for their
VIP card this time round.

sharks fin + cartilage soup


Spring Onion Pancake + Abalone


Braised Duck + Tofu
 I was bz eating till i realised
i havent snapped a pix of this :P

Crispy Duck + Yam


Bird's Nest + thick almond cream


Missing fr series of pix:  Crab meat Fried Rice ( generous portions i muz say! )

Absolutely Worth the price.   [info]celadoncatz  you'll adore this set !
 

 


HTC: DIAMOND 2 and TOUCH PRO 2

DIAMOND 2: hubs kept the phone for only 3 wks b4 trading in for TOUCH PRO 2.
                     all bcos of? 4 small dents.


His current phone




Def Bulkier than Diamond 2


MANPUKU @ TAMPINES ONE

 
Sashimi platter was $40. Ikura Don was $18


Top combo set was $12.80 while Moonlight okos was $12+ i think?

Fruit Tarts are $7.80 each. Pricey considering its mostly fresh cream.

IMO, food here is average but pricey. The combo set has only 3 pathetic (n not to mention) small Ebi prawns and 1 small oyster. Total bill for wat u see above + 2 takeaways fried soba + 3 drinks was $150.

KIEHL's

 The fantastic shampoo which
Jules and Mich recomm me :)

FOR KIDDO:
 




MENG KEE SATAY BEE HOON-- the only stall in Spore which i'll gladly Q for food


GAO JI @ PARKWAY



The ginseng chix soup was gd, the rest of the dishes? Mediocre

DA PAOLO PIZZA BAR @ CHIP BEE GARDENS














ETNA ITALIAN RESTAURANT










Btn Etna and Da Paolo, i still prefer Etna's....

THE LINE 50% OFF FOR SHANG CARD MEMBERS

1 word to sum up the dining experience: Forgettable.

Oh Gawd! I just ate lunch and then I came into this blog. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pictures, but the delicious food here made me overbloated in my tummy! *kekeke*

I LOVE the skirt you got! And I love the River Island gold sandals - very pretty!

Also loving your bio-gel manicure, I think you have lovely looking nails and feet! My hands and feet are genetically very thin and bony. Not too nice looking, especially in photos. *blush*

Enjoy your week ahead! I totally enjoyed reading this post!

I hated Manpuku when I first tried it. Somemore it's under Ajisen.

You are tempting me with East Ocean... :p

Your hubby not tried of transferring stuff & settings from 1 mobile to another ah?

alamak, under Ajisen ah? no wonder not much quality leh. The sashimi was fresh, other than tt, most dishes average. Over-hyped.

East Ocean seriously worth a try!! Their Dim Sum is v yummy too!

*LOL* that Cow uses a 16GB card for his phones, plus he backs up stuff in his laptop. So everytime he comes back with a new phone, he juz hooks up the phone with the laptop, within a few mths, gao dim everything *hee*
