The Fading Memories

passing the time..

Friday, October 10, 2014 / 11:34 PM

Baby's gone diving this weekend with Pieter.. and I'm left at home to do whatever I want basically. Started watching something that I normally wouldn't think I would watch, but now i'm seriously hooked on it.

What is it? Haha.. It's Point of Entry. I think there's 4 seasons and I'm only on the first season.. So much catching up to do. Talking about catching up, will be doing some of it tomorrow when I meet my friends for some lunch, dessert, shopping and movie. Something I normally wouldn't do on the weekends, because it's spent on my dear bf (: I miss him already.

Sunday will be getting a facial, I haven't had one since last year I think. It's been too long, even I cannot remember. Will be doing a product review soon. Hint: Nivea!

I think this month will be a busy one! So much things to do so little time.

Oh can't wait for my birthday trip to BKK with Baby, Pieter and Ivy! Gonna be so much fun, I've already listed out on what I want to eat there. From the last trip, I would say the Samurai Pork Burger from McDonalds and Chatuchak Market's Coconut Ice cream has made a strong impression. I would also like to find the famous Pad Thai, didn't get to eat a nice one the last I was there.

I've checked out a few nice cafés there but I don't think our 3D2N would be enough to cover all the places I want to go.

#throwbackthursday went to have dinner at The Halia at Raffles Hotel with Baby for our 45th monthsary! Really like the place alot, nice ambience and the food was awesome.

I had the Halia Chili Crab and Baby had the Ribs with Chips (Chef's special, I think..) with shared a communal jug of ice tea which both of us couldn't finish and oh! the dessert Milk Chocolate Cloud.

They have 2 outlets, one at Botanical Gardens and the other at Raffles Hotel. Well to sum it up I will definitely head back there to eat again (:

44th Monthsary

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 / 10:00 PM

Before work ended I went to make reservations at this place called Restaurant Labyrinth on Neil Road for our monthsary. How I got to know about this place? I was watching Clicknetwork.tv's Food Porn hosted by Irene Ang. It's a fine dining restaurant with unique dishes. Most of the items on the menu I would not normally eat, but I had tried it. So yea! I've tried it but I don't fancy them.

They have 2 different kinds of menu, Signature and Degustation. I thought Degustation looks interesting, so got Baby to order that. It's a 8 course menu - $138 (with service charge of 10%). The Signature menu is a smaller course.

Here are the dishes that were on our degustation menu (:

Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple Sorbet, Tumeric Zabaglione, Rice Crispy

Bacon and "Eggs"

Hokkaido Scallops, Sea Urchin, Prosciutto Crisp

(tried my first Uni, and my last, didn't really fancy the taste)

Labyrinth Chilli Crab

Chilli Crab Ice Cream, Soft Shell Crab, Sturgeon Caviar

Artisan Garden Pizza
Summer Truffles, Spinach Tomato Crust, Chantarelle Mushrooms
(to me this is the worst dish ever.. I felt like I was eating dried leaves, oh and the cheese is on the salty side. The chef said that this will be off the menu tomorrow.)

Cantonese Porridge Carbonara
Polenta Porridge, Parmesan Cream, Poached Egg Yolk

Satay Steak
Satay Marinated Steak, Pan Seared Foie Gras, Peanut Mochi
(this would be my first time trying Foie Gras as I cannot seem to stomach it, it's so fatty)

Chendol Xiao Long Bao
Molecular Chendol Soup Dumpling, Gula Melaka Syrup
(was suppose to put the whole thing in my mouth, it was difficult the spoon + dumpling was so big!)

Singapore Breakfast
Panna Cotta, Mango Puree, Teh Tarik Crème Brulee
("Soft-boiled eggs" are my favourite. Even has a similar texture to the actual eggs)

Petit Four

I will definitely dine here again to try their new menus that will be out tomorrow onwards.

Another beautiful memory ♥

Monday, April 9, 2012 / 11:52 PM

♥ Today is our 15 monthsary and baby didn't want to tell me where he was taking me for dinner. All I knew was it was in between Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar! I met baby after work at Vivo as he had left work early to go to his physio appointment. We caught the train to Chinatown and walked through to the other side, although it was short, I quite enjoyed it. Baby's hand was cold and mine was warm, hehe (: I was warming his hand at the same time stealing the coolness.

Walked through the roads that looked like maze, until baby found the restaurant. He brought me to the PS. Cafe, the ambiance is so nice I really like the restaurant interior decor. 1st floor the bar, 2nd & 3rd is the dinning area but 3rd I heard from baby is like the rooftop/attic (which they call it).

They gave us this card which we need for our seating and we were seated next to this couple. Although baby wished to be seated somewhere else which was not cramped next to someone else.

So we were deciding what to eat, but I was taking pictures of things that were on the table.

We ordered a Roasted Tomato & a Portobello Mushroom Soup, with Lulu's "Leftover" Lasagne [seriously does not sound right] & Chargrilled Cheese Burger.

While waiting for the food, I took a quick snap of baby busying himself on his iPhone..

We didn't wait long till our soups arrived.

Baby had the Portobello Mushroom Soup, he did not like it much.

while I had the Roasted Tomato Soup, if I could compare soups I would have rather drank the tomato soup from Saybons at Plaza Singapura.

After we finished Mains were served..

Lasagne for myself and Baby had the humongous Cheese Burger!

Unfortunately no dessert as baby was too full after his meal and I did not want to eat by myself.

To top the end of our meal we took a picture to place in our memory - our 15th Monthsary ♥

Happy 15th Monthsary Baby ♥

and many more to come ...

Early Valentine's Day Dinner

Wednesday, February 15, 2012 / 12:19 AM

We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day one day earlier, as baby is busy with his presentation. Baby had places in mind but they were fully booked, this is where I stepped in. Flipped through all the NSman that I have on my work table and found Canopy Garden Dining & Bar
located at Bishan Park 2.

Baby made reservations for 2 at 8pm, after work baby was teasing me for he had wanted to open the pressie. But I told him only when we reached the place, as I wanted to make sure it was all nicely packed in the box before he opened it.

The place is quite a fair distance from the bus stop that we alighted from, but it was nice to walk with baby. We passed a McDonalds at the park and we had to cross this scary bridge with house lizards running around. It's so dark even though there were lights at the side. I was so scared of stepping on them or them crawling up my leg.

When we reached the lady who attended to us said that the restaurant we were suppose to dine in was full and wondered if it was ok if they sat us at a different restaurant but they will serve their food. We agreed and sat down at The Green Room (vegetarian restaurant).

Looking through the menu

We ordered Tapas, Soft Shell Crab, Beef and Lobster Spaghetti. While waiting for the food baby finally got to open his present.

And then I started taking random things in the restaurant..

Baby gave me pretty flowers ♥ just like last year.

Some shots of baby, my love ♥♥

Baby took some shots of me, I should have wore makeup maybe then I won't look so terrible. But he likes me without makeup.. oh such a dilemma!

Our food arrived minutes later..

After dinner we walked back to the bus stop, I took the bus with baby and I technically sent him home on Valentine's Day as I was cabbing from his house back to mine.

Baby want to wish you..

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hope to spend many more with you (:

Happy Time!

Monday, November 28, 2011 / 1:58 AM

Went to a wedding on Thursday, 24 November! My colleague's wedding, there was a massive jam on the ECP cause of 2 accidents that made baby late in picking me up from work. I thought we were gonna be late as the dinner was suppose to commence at 7.30pm but we didn't get to the hotel until 7.50pm - 8pm.

What's worst is that the hotel had limited carpark space and we had to park next door at the Furniture Mall. The wedding dinner was held at Park Royal on the Beach. When we got there I was surprised as it was already so late that the dinner has not even started.. There were only two tables for SAFRA staff and the rest were all relatives and friends.

Before the dinner started we were taking photos on my phone all 4 of us and I was taking my name placement card with baby..

plus I took what they were about to serve us for dinner!

Left to right: CA, CC, CL, SC

Love this photo of baby and I, it's currently my lock screen picture on my iPhone.

The food that was served was not bad, it was a good night, a night to remember for the bride and groom and for us their guest. Got to see 4 ex colleagues that I haven't seen in a long time.

I seriously cannot believe I was noting down love songs and songs that I shouldn't play at my wedding.. That is if I do get married~ Already have a few on my list and it's growing!
