Busy bee is finally getting some breathers.
In fact, I started to unwind from last week already!!
It started with a wonderful dinner buffet at Merchant Court with Ivy and Danielle on last Thursday. Oh my goodness, so nice to get to taste the durian pengat again after 3 years (i think)! I had 2 big bowls :D Not forgetting the fresh salmon, mussels and the spread of desserts. The 3 of us had "retired" from buffet like donkey years ago, and this buffet certainly has started our appetite for more buffet. We talked about our work, some of our phobias (haha, for me is IV jab... painful...) and many other things. Oh, Ivy and myself received our first X'mas present for the year, brought back from Bangkok by Danielle. Thanks gal :)
The next buffet will be in end Dec with the rest of the "gang". I am looking forward to it to catch up with the rest, and of course getting to taste my durian pengat again :p
What's next?
The next day was dinner with a colleague. He recommended "Royal Cophenhagen Tea" at Takashimaya L2. The first thing that impressed me was the table x'mas tree made of custards. Was figuring real hard whether they are real custards. The tea range is exotic, but I am more of a coffee person. I can appreciate coffee more. Do you find "Royal Cophenhagen" familiar? Yes, they are famous for their procelain products. So the tea pot and the cups that you can find at this place have Royal Cophenhagen designs. Food is quite good, no crowd. Btw, the table x'mas tree is made of real custards. I could not resist asking the cashier before I left the place. This is the inquisitive me.
Over the long weekend, William and myself went Marina for a movie. We went Suntec first just to take a look at the bridal fair (after "tip-off" from my Sis). Well, they have bridal shops from Taiwan, Shanghai, HK and of course Singapore. I have never thought of taking wedding photography overseas, and yet it is going to happen!! We signed up for a wedding photography package and taking the photos at Taiwan. Ooo... I am excited about it! I have always like the scenary of Taipei, esp during Spring/ Summer. Signing up for the package also reminds me of the last family trip with my father. Pa Pa, I miss you. The trip to Taipei in Apr will certainly brings back beautiful memories of our family trip together.
Yesterday, William and myself went to a Thai restaurant at Serangoon Gardens. It's called Tuk Tuk (i think). Their Thai food is quite authentic. Most special of all is their durian sticky rice. I have always like mango sticky rice (it's my must have when I go Thailand), durian sticky rice at this place is quite good too! Their price range is higher than Thai Express.
Today, William and myself went to try out authentic Xinghua cuisines at Maude Road. Their fried fish tastes really good. But $9 for 6 small pcs is a bit expensive. The Xinghua restaurant and food have probably brought back nice memories to William, as his family used to 'ta bao' from this restaurant :)
Besides my next feast at Merchant Court with my mba gang, I am also looking forward to the semi-potluck dinner at Biyun's place on 24 Dec :D
It's year end. Time to unwind.
Let's all enjoy ourselves! :)
