Saturday Food Intake (29Oct2011)

Had a late Saturday lunch (about 5pm) at Bambu, Velocity.

As usual, I ordered the set, which cost SGD8.85 after the 30% discount on the wrap.

Dang! Wasn't able to upload the asian clam chowder. Now it's too late to insert it in. Anyway, I liked the chowder, because they added lemongrass, which made it Asian-y.

The Kimchi pork wrap was okay, but not something I'd miss.

Just like Twix! I love Twix, so now I love this Toffee Viennese from M&S.

It's SGD3.90 (sale from SGD4.90) for 8 pcs.

Yum.

Yum yum.

There's Taiwan Delights fair at Ngee Ann City.

Bought their snack set at SGD4.50. 1 snack choice plus a drink.

I got the cabbage calzone and taiwanese milk tea.

My 'calzone'

Milk tea. What a waste of calories and money. I didn't finish it because it was too sweet, plus the pearls is the super chewy old style kind .

I brought it home for dinner, so by then, it was all soggy.

It was okay. Just cabbage with some meat and fried egg, wrapped in some dough, fried and then coated with a layer of sauce and some chili.

Might have tasted super when it was still hot and firm.

Brands Sale at Takashimaya

I've been eyeing this design for the longest time. It's just a simple striped knitted short-sleeved top, but I love the gold buttons. It was soooo expensive. Really. SGD69 for a top? Outrageous.

It was on sale today. Price was down to SGD29, so I bought it!

SGD40 savings. But then again, I would've saved SGD29, if I chose not to buy it at all. Just depends how I look at it. I choose the SGD40 savings!

The Week That Was

I'm running out of Titles for my blog posts regarding various things.

Anyway... the following pictures were taken the week of 24Oct-29Oct2011.
Me, while waiting for Tuesday 8PM Zumba class to begin - At Danz Boutique, Bukit Timah Road.

Saturday, 29Oct.

Glad to see other people are also helping out the blind uncle outside Novena Church.

The uncle and his wife are always outside the church on Saturdays, selling tissue packets and peanuts. Whether the sun is blazing, or there's continues pouring of rain.

This auntie (a tourist, because she was taking photos of the ugly statues outside Hotel Royal) seemed to have been made fun of by her hairstylist.

Having your hair highlighted with violet/maroonish color doesn't make you look hipper and younger, auntie. Wait, maybe I'm making a haste judgement. Maybe her hair is that way because she's attending a Halloween party.

9 working days done, just 5 more days to go and my office partner will be back from her leave. Hooray!

Thursay: One of the buttons came off. I used a safety pin to secure them together.

When I removed it later that night, I was surprised how bent the pin was. Wah, the garment was stronger than the pin. It's not because my stomach is big okay. The top is actually loose.

One day, our washing machine went berserk and suddenly made a scary lound rumbling sound. When I went out to check, the machine has already walked out of its 'area'. Oh my gooooodness, all the lint and hair was stuck at the tube behind. Eeeew eeeew eeeew! That's years and years worth of yuckiness. I had no choice but to pull it out (using my plastic covered right hand).

The machine's usual place is tucked away inside. And it has walked out on its own.

Saturday: I collected my show ticket from my boss.

It's a Philippine noon time television show which will be doing a show in Singapore tomorrow, at D'Marquee.

Ticket price is SGD 65, but I got it for free. Yey!

Olegna, if only I had extra tickets, you're one of the friends that I would invite to come along.

NEX Mall

My friend and I were supposed to meet at 430pm (or 4pm, I couldn't remember). But before we saw each other, I couldn't tahan anymore because I was already sooo hungry. Haven't had lunch yet then.

Since it was pretty crowded elsewhere, I decided to eat at Yoshinoya.

Chose their new combo meal - breaded shrimp. Which was basically roughly chopped up shrimp in katsudon form. I guess it's okay, just too oily for my taste.

The combo came with (super sweet) pudding and drink.

Afterwards, my friend and I went to get our milk tea fix. I ordered their taro milk and added some pudding jelly. Sugar level 50%. Yummy!

My friend and I went up to look at the dogs which were chillin at the Doggie Style Cafe, where humans and dogs can eat together.

Cute. These dogs are really lucky.

Afterwards, we went to shop a little (since I'm under my self-imposed tight budget planning). Guess which color I chose.. Blue, green or pink? I chose Green!!! I might wear this next Friday, on our Dinner&Dance.

For dinner, we ate at the Food Court.
There's a Korean corner, and they had their own sitting area.

SGD7.50 for their set. Kimchi fried rice (spicy, I like), salad, egg and chicken wings.

Would've been good if the food was hot.

Soooo Cuuuuuuuuuute!

My ex-colleagues dog.

On her facebook, her caption for this was : (not exact words, context only): she looked for Baby (the dog) everywhere inside the house, and finally saw her hiding on the bookshelf. Looking pleased with herself.

Sooo cute! I could just swallow her!

A Day in the Office

Monday morning. Got to the office all grumpy and filled with dread, then I saw this smiling Neko on my desk. So cute! I can't help but smile myself =). It's a small gift from our Dinner& Dance committee, with our raffle stub on it.

My lunch. Rice with I think 3 dishes - chicken with beans, egg, and cabbage mix.

Fruits from our Monday fruit supply.

The oil which splattered to my face (when I microwaved my sardines in soya oil) created a scar. Sigh.

Shiraz Persian Restaurant, Clarke Quay

Nobody was entertaining us after we were showed to our table..tsk tsk. Not good. To think the place wasn't even packed.

kebabs and meat.

The appetiser - feta cheese , some mint, tomato, olives, etc

And the bread, to wrap above items.

The belly dancer finally came out.

She danced a minute or two on each table.

I have a smaller belly pouch than her! yey!

The starter platter. Lamb meat ball, sticky rice wrapped in some leaf, spinach with yogurt and I forgot what the other one was.

Everything was acquired taste. I ate everything, though I'm not sure if I'd ever crave for them. Ever.

Rice with saffron. This one was okay.

Dancing outside the resto. A lot of people gathered to take photos of her.

Ooooh the proteins! There's fillet mignon, chicken, prawn, and minced pork sauce like thing.

The dessert platter. We ordered platter from the appetiser to the mains to dessert.

One was baclava, one was coconuty shreds and one was like a brownie.

The middle and right-most were okay. The ginger taste on the left-most was a bit overpowering.

I don't like flowers on my food.

I don't know what this is, it tasted coconuty. But it's okay, I liked it.

During her performance, I saw some guests tucked cash into her skirt. SGD50! multiplied by 3, because 3 people gave her tip. Not bad on a slow Sunday night.

A dirty old man, who danced with her sleezily and toucher her shoulder. Eeeeeew.

*****************

We ate there because my friend bought coupons ( SGD25 for SGD50 worth of food). We used two coupons, and the total bill was about SGD140. Quite expensive. So each person (3 of us) shelled out SGD30.

I would definitely still eat the shawarma from Shiraz stalls, but I can say I won't be going back to their restaurant.

Food wasn't spectacular, and it's expensive. Imagine if we didn't have the coupons.
