gaiety

had a pretty hectic week. the passing of my grandma and having to hold the funeral before the weekend of my cousin's wedding (isit bad luck even for the two words to appear in the same sentence??), the hosting of my hk relatives and their send off, the wedding ceremony and dinner, the association's paintball&prawning event, the world cup and other miscellaneous events = serious lack of sleep. it made friday seem so far away..

they made the cake themselves! damn cool. choc brownie at bottom, orange raisin middle and fruit cake on top. (:the girls.and the guys.my nephewww. and red dynasty.

stalkers, you know where to get your fix.

twisted bliss

microcosm

happiee birthday mummm..

other photos here. we ate so much.. i think i'll need two weeks of fasting (which will just be in time for my cousin's and a friend's wedding). desserts were good, esp the chocolate souffle. quality wise, equinox. variety wise, green house.

going into week 3! 5 more to gooo. probably do hort park some time next week, so wait for the photos :D oh and i need to/will do the australia photo summary sooon!

talk like june

the family kept rattling on and on about how i always go to such places and not intro them to it. so we decided to visit Riders today, only to miss breakfast cos it decided to pour heavily in the morning! :( so.. we went for brunch/afternoon tea!

death by chocolate w vanilla beans ice cream! you can see the specks of vanilla beans on it! nice...... and the chocolate is not the kind u'll get sick of after eating too much! (kadennn, finally something that matches up to ps cafe's double choc!) bangers and truffles mash w sweat peas! rocket leaves too. not bad.
wild mushroom soup! normal. and could have been warmer when served. i guess, the next time back will be for dinner! (:

okkk back to special k tmr!!

listen like spring

mbs. everytime someone says this, i'll hear it as "nbs"...

Complimentary olive bread. i thought was choc chips! Grissini Casalinghi aka bread sticks wrapped in parma ham slices Marinara pizzaFiletto Di manzo Al Funghi Porcini aka steak

2nd time at pasta fresca da salvatore. first being for lunch. i would say the place isnt overpriced, and it isnt overly crowded since not many people know about the place. so faster go! (:

other places to try (1) jing (kel!!) (2) waterboat house (3) forlino (4) society bar (5) pierside.. anyone?

walk like rain

this place looks the same as a year back (see here)...

but this time.. prive!!! :D all day breakfast is worth every second of my awakening moment.

pancakes, strawberries, bananas, fresh whipped cream, maple and honeycomb (like how awesome?!!!!) for a closer look. and u can add additional items like smoked salmon (niceeeeeeee) etc. me added sausages!
eggs benedict, bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and rocket leaves!
lemon meringue. could never resist tarts.

the bar looks good too! and the apple raspberry jello sounds interesting! another time... okay i just looked back at the Riders cafe breakfast we had. i think the ones at Riders better!!

act like summer

finally visited everything with fries!!! holland v outlet.you're supposed to choose your mains, then sides (i.e. flavour of fries), and a coleslaw/caesar.creamy salmon in a cup + sour cream&onion fries!the coleslawtandoori chicken sandwich + curry fries + baby caesarpork chop + garlic&herbs friesnutella tart. like bread pudding + awfully choc + nutella! :D
i would give it 2.5/5. my tandoori chicken was ok, but not wow fantastic. salmon was nice, but a tad too little? pork chop was also ok, but i hate the pig taste and hawker fare could do better. the thing that killed it was that they gave so much fries that it became like the mains instead! desserts being their saving grace (hot banana butterscotch pudding w ice cream.. yum.). so i guess the next time, i'll just go for the desserts!

might try mykii the next time im at holland v too.
