The Marmalade Pantry ; Bar on 5

Suggested going to the Marmalade Pantry with the colleagues on a Wednesday night since they have never tried it before and I am definitely missing the Crabmeat linguini!

We were so lucky cause they are having 1 for 1 mains for ntuc members! Woohoo! Imagine how surprised we were! Heh!

We had 4 mains and 2 desserts!

Truffled Field Mushroom Risotto
Super yummy cause the truffle taste was so strong!

My favourite Crabmeat Linguini!! Oh how I missed you. Heh. The colleagues all agreed that this is very nice!

Seared Scallop Linguini with Tiger Prawn Bisque
This on the other hand, did not impress us. It taste too prawn-y :((

Pork and Fennel Seed Sausage Lasagne (with mushrooms and parmasen)

This was yummy too! OM NOMS.

Recommended Sticky Date and Toffee Pudding to my colleagues and they were impressed! Heh! ;) So yums!

The Marmalade Carrot Cake was thus, neglected. One of my colleague tookaway this as we were all too full!

What a sumptuous dinner!! :D:D

Headed to Bar On 5, Level 5 of Mandarin Gallery next to chill!

They are currently having martini's promotion at $5++ from 5pm to 9pm on weekdays!!

We had lychee martini, appletini, and mandarin martini. I like the lychee and apple! 

Happy shots with our drinks! ;)

Group shot to end the night!

We should have more of such outings on weekdays! Make it less daunting and we seem to be extra motivated at work just to have a great night out! :D

Deal sealed for S.H.E's concert 2013!

Yay! Today is the ticket sales opening for S.H.E's upcoming concert in October this year! It opened at 10am this morning and my colleagues were so excited that we camped for it..

But my oh my! We did not expect that heavy traffic on the website! It was super horrible! The website keep hanging and we could not get into the site to choose our tickets! So it was refresh after refresh and we finally finally managed to get in but Cat 1 tickets was gone already! So we moved on to Cat 2, but apparently we could not get all 5 seats together so I tried adding just 2 tickets to cart first, it was so bad cause the section number came up but it was not reflected anywhere in the seating plan so we just carted out without knowing where are we actually seating at. TERRIBLE. But we carted out anyway cause the tickets were only reserved for 10 minutes, imagine the desperation. HAHA. 

Then we tried again! And I was quite lucky to be able to get 3 seats together at Cat 2! Added to cart anyway! Same thinking, just grab first then say! LOL!

Eventually when it was all paid and confirmation email received, we went on to look at the seating plan. Of course we were seated separately but at least we could get the tickets! SUPER HAPPY LA! CAN U SENSE MY EXCITEMENT?! It feels like all my hardwork and perseverance paid off and I know it's gonna be so worth it!

The kiasu us went to collect the actual tickets during lunch in case of any hiccups in the orders online. And we got it!! Deal sealed!!

I will be going with Dearie and X this time! 2 of my soulmates! Can totally imagine the fun and excitement we will have already!

Baby, thank you so much for agreeing to go to the concert with me this time round, despite it being your mum's birthday. You know how I always wanted us to attend a concert together, so I am very thankful that it happened despite the hefty price of the ticket. Feel so loved! :D

Anyhow, I will ensure that we will make up to your mum in one way or another :)

Vesak Day

The morning of Vesak Day was spent going to the Temple at Bedok Road with the grandma. Weather was rainy and sunny at the same time and it was super crowded! It was my first visit to the temple and it was super grand and huge! No time for pictures so I only took 2! 

The 4-faced buddha

Went back home to wash up before I meet the clique for movie and dinner! Caught The Big Wedding and it was kinda funny. Heh.

Headed to Swee Choon for some dimsum loving after the movie!

Finally here and it was already 8pm and still super crowded that we got no choice but to take the seats outside. Thankfully the weather at night was quite cooling heh.

Check out the amount of food we ordered for 3 pax! 

All this amounted to about $18 which I feel is rather reasonable and it was definitely filling enough.

Custard buns me likey! Baby are you reading this? Haha!

More to such feasting ahead!!

Food, and everything else in between

Mother's day this year was a cosy affair spent with 3 wonderful woman in my life.

Dinner was at Paradise Dynasty with Dearie's mum and god dad just a week before Mother's day. We ordered quite abit but we managed to clear them all. Heh.

I thought I found my favourite 杂酱面 on my last visit there but it did not fare as well this time round. The sauce was too diluted and watery :( The seafood La Mian was kinda on the salty side too.

Their speciality! And some Original XLBs!

Kinda regretted ordering these 2 dishes cause it is so zi char-ish and kinda overpriced.

Did up a lovely photo on Mother's Day itself and posted it up on Instagram since I am not spending the day with her. (:

She has been so so nice to me ever since I got together with Dearie about 6 years ago, and it just gets better. (: I am very grateful and blessed that we are able to click so well that people often mistaken us as mother & daughter heh.

Of course, on the actual Mother's day, I am spending time with my grandmother and bringing her out to the temple at Bugis and just walking around in town. She is someone who truly inspires me whenever we talk. To be frank, I have never eaten out together with her because she thinks the pricings at restaurants are ridiculous and would rather cook her own meal at home. She is just so prudent in her own ways and still live the kind of lifestyle like how she does all along, not being influenced by external lavish in life. And I don't know why but my mum too, refuses to eat out so the least I can do is to have dinner with her at home. Hahs.

So during Public Service week this year, we went to Subordinate Courts for our Learning Journey! This is the only photo cause photo taking is strictly prohibited inside, but this trip has certainly open up my eyes on the proceedings done in the court and its difference compared to the Supreme Court. Such a waste though that we did not catch any good looking lawyers. Hahs.

**

Ironman date and Bangkok Jam-ed with the colleagues after work on a weekday! Food portion was small and decent, but I would prefer Thai Express anytime. Hahs.

Dessert at Createaf afterwhich! This cost only $9.90 and it taste quite heavenly on a weekday. 

**

Itacho for dinner with JJ cause I was craving for some sushi goodness. 

Yummeh mango sushi. Heh. Quite ex though. It was lk $5? T.T

Cream croquette which taste nothing like Saboten's!

**

Tonkatsu meal at Ginza Barin! With generous portion of curry and potatoes. Heh.

Brought presents for the birthday girl! A lovely cobalt blue shade of nail polish and a sleek lipstick from Yves Saint Laurent. No photos of that oops! :/

**

Catching up over dinner with super long time friend, Li Juan at Pizza Hut! 

Meet the highly advertised cheesy trio! Which was definitely too cheesy for the 2 of us. :/ Cheese overload even though I am a cheese lover, imagine the amount of cheese in there!

All time must order whenever we are at Pizza Hut. Heh.

**

And recently, I finally paid a visit to Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons! They just opened a new outlet at Bugis Village!

A picture of their menu. Pretty snowflakes. **

Peek at the Menu! They have 5 wide choices: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and King!

You can choose to have it with seaweed only, flavoured egg only or all toppings! Level of oil, done-ness of noodle can be adjusted based on personal preferences! 

Best of all, free flow beansprouts and boiled eggs!

Awesome. Heh.

Complimentary green tea cola which is refreshing enough!

My summer ramen with all toppings! Super huge portion for me I must say! I have everything in normal level but it is slightly oily and salty so I might opt lesser on that the next time I visit.

Photo with le bestie on our train ride home. 12 years of friendship and counting! Hehe!

When will our travel trip ever materialise!!! BOO! Need to go for one soon before we get married k! 

And oh, I did it again.

Registered for the upcoming Adidas King of the Road 2013 Marathon, 16.8km Womens Open category. I wanted to go for 10km but the boy says he wanna do further, so yea I think love makes me lose my logical thinking and so I registered for that distance as well. :/ I hope I can do this!

XOXO,

Off to bed! Tmr is Vesak Day and Im gonna be going to the temple early morning! Have a great long weekend you'll! :D
