Takashimaya > Coffee Bean > Lenas > Dream & Zouk

Last week for 2 days my second sis and I met with our Grandparents and cousins to do Christmas shopping. Went to Plaza Sing and Taka on the first day and JEM & Westgate on the second day. I was super tired last week because Mon and Tues was spent doing Christmas shopping and Wed I went Zouk with my clique. Finally rested on Thursday! Maybe this seems alright to most people my age but I get tired really easily hahaha or rather it's kind of a more psychological thing. I always say I'm tired thus I 'feel' tired but maybe I am not. Understand? 

Super pretty Christmas Tree at Ngee Ann City. By Tiffany & Co I think?


Takashimaya Square. Resting with Grandparents while waiting for the others(Aunt, Sis and Cousins) to finish shopping. See? I am "tired" again hahaha. 



Anyway while waiting for them I kind of got restless so I walked to the shop directly infront which was Innisfree!!! Didn't know anything about this brand until the next day I found out it was a Korean brand whereby Lee Minho was the ambassador! Oh and I found the BEST LIP TINT IN THE WORLD!!!! From Innisfree, Creamy Tint Lipstick. Swipe a stroke on your hand with their tester and you'll know why I say so. I did not buy though because I am super fickle-minded and couldn't decide on a colour(it's $20 so must choose properly) but anyway my eldest sis already bought Etude House's lip tint for me so I shall buy this lipstick next time.

Coffee Bean for dinner to end the night!


Super cheesy Beef Lasagne. 


Second sis insisted on taking this 'artistic' half shot. I sabo-ed her by eating most of the cheese while she ate the pasta sheets wahahaha. 


Next day @ JEM, Lenas.



I cannot remember the price.. They go by Main dish OR Main dish + 1 side dish OR Main dish + 2 side dishes and the price increases respectively. DO NOT ORDER THIS. I am sorry to say but only the sides dishes were nice?? The chicken was just plain disappointing. Too dry and a little hard. People have different opinions though, this may be yummy to you so don't take my words seriously!


Pilaf rice(side dish) was really good!!


Diced Salmon Egg Soup Set - $18+??

I actually like this dish despite the rather salty soup but it goes well with the Pilaf rice.


Carbonara Creamoso - $14.90

However, their Pasta was damn awesome!!! LOOKS ARE DECEIVING. Above is an example. 
This was in fact one of the BEST PASTA I've ever eaten in my life. Seldom have Spaghetti which is cooked Al dente. The cream sauce had the 'kick' too haha. I know I am super bias towards Pasta but in all fairness, this Carbonara was really better than the Mozzarella chicken lol. 


This is $12.80 but there was a discount of $1.80(so it's $11) because we ordered 2 main courses? I really cannot remember haha. 


We changed the Ice-cream to Chocolate and did not even realize they served us the wrong pan until the waitress who took our order told us. They most probably ate or threw away the wrong order, what a waste if they really throw away. Because no other customer ordered this. 


I will not order this if I can choose again. Although it looks nice with all the sizzling chocolate sauce but it tasted really normal to me then. I'd rather eat another plate of Pasta if I can hahaha.  


Creme Brulee - $6.80

Paid $5 because of the $1.80 discount thing. I recommend this!!! The portion is quite small but... nice can already!




Dream & Zouk on Ladies night! It's been awhile. 

All of us agreed that this is the only decent and nice photo out of all the many photos we took hahaha.


Look at my eyes hahaha. Caused by the flash in a dark place. Think I mentioned before? I cannot open my eyes properly if there's flash and worse still if it's taken in a dark place.


TA-DAA! Another failed photo.



Just a couple of days ago I was just saying here that I don't want Christmas to end. Now it has ended ): But I'm looking forward to CNY!!!!! Not so much to NYE because that means no more 2013 although CNY means 2014. Hmm what am I talking about. Oh well such is life goodbye and enjoy the remaining holidays everyone!

Too many photos

So I have too many photos in my phone that I am confused over which are the ones I have posted here and have not. If you see any repeated photos just keep scrolling alright hahaha. 



BEST MUFFINS EVER!!! Located at Chinatown's Coffee Shop, the one near the temple I think. It's HUGEEEEE and only cost $2!!! Chocolate flavour taste the best! 



One of the Sunday's lunch.


Dad's 49th Birthday!


Mini celebration at home.



Pomelo Mango Dessert from the new HK stall at Lot One's basement. 
HUI LAU SHAN BEAT THIS HANDS DOWN.



Salted Yolk, Century Egg and Prawn Paste roll.


Salted Yoke Custard Bun!!!!! Malaysia's one still nicest haha.


Dumpling soup. Wang Chai's dumplings are definitely better than this.


For a period of time I was crazy and obsessed over these two food.

RP's South Foodcourt Nasi Lemak. Super yummy!!!! The rice especially when it's piping hot OMG.


Marks & Spencer's Chocolate Chip Cookie. I personally prefer this over Subway's because of the chocolate chips used. It's like chunky chunky one hahaha. Go buy!! $1.50 only so just try alright.



* * * *

Finally done buying all the Christmas gifts, painted my nails and bought more clothes. Went out almost everyday for the past few days thus I am feeling so tired and a little stress lol because too busy but I am happy because at least no school work is here to bother me. 

Christmas service tomorrow night and celebration on the day itself YAY! Can't wait but at the same time don't want this week to end but oh well, I shall enjoy myself to the fullest and not think about this. Merry X'mas everyone :)

Nihon Mura + Seventh Heaven

Tried Nihon Mura at Cineleisure the night, it was unexpectedly good! Thought the variety would be little and quality of food to be bad because the food's so cheap at $1.50++ for a plate but I was so wrong. 

Personally, I feel that NM is better than Sushi Express because they really have quite a variety of food which is important to me! Other than the sushi which tasted really really normal, the other fried food and MENTAIKO SCALLOP was damn delicious!!! Alright but the scallop from Sushi Express is very nice too haha. 




I was a little surprised they had Cha Soba. 



Salmon sushi and Sashimi are all bigger in portion as compared to Sushi Express!! 


OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SALMON SKIN!!!


AND THIS CHICKEN KARAAGE TOO!!


I prefer the Cheesecake here because the texture is more floury? Feels more like an actual cake to me. Whereas Sushi Express's Cheesecake was more towards the smooth jelly kind LOL but it's not jelly. I can't describe the texture in words. 


Went to Seventh Heaven afterwards for Ice-cream!


The Ice-cream was kind of disappointing though. Chocolate doesn't really taste like chocolate that kind? Ordered Praline too but it did not have the taste I was expecting. Their Ice-creams are cheap though!


And presentable hahaha.



We took a 'stroll' from Dhoby Ghaut to Cityhall afterwards. A good 30mins walk I think. Poor Qx and Zoe were so tired but Gene and I was alright because it kind of became our habit to walk that long stretch ever since I don't know when hahaha.
