Food

December has always been a busy time with lots of celebrations and close friends birthday. Now I have another celebration to look forward to every December. My godson Leo just turned one and he’s the happiest baby I know!

I had a bad day to start and couldn’t make it early for Leo’s birthday but I’m glad I still managed to make it cause seeing his cute little face made everything so much better! I heart my little godson!

He had the cutest alphabet cake and the whole place was decorated with alphabets and tons of balloons! The food was really good as well. Leo is definitely one lucky and surrounded with love wherever he goes.

Here’s the little boy with his huge array of presents when he got home! He even has a mini motorcycle and a playground set (both not shown in photo) for his birthday that is set up in his very own own playroom!

JW very sweetly organized a surprised birthday celebration for Regina at this little restaurant on Upper East Coast Road and everyone kept Regina in the dark! Jun and I were shopping for Regina’s present in the afternoon and we both told Regina that we were too busy to meet her. LOL.

Even my godson Leo was a part of the surprise birthday party! It was a gathering of good friends and I hope Regina enjoyed the surprise Sushi brought Regina’s birthday cake from One Bakersworld which was a half and half mix of durian and chocolate cake. Absolutely sumptuous!

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone. I haven’t touched, seen or written for my blog in a week causes I was away and have been very busy over the Chinese New Year period. So busy in fact that I’m having a massive sleep debt that is going to take quite awhile for me to repay. Anyways, I’m wishing all my readers a very prosperous water dragon year with many new opportunities!

I’ve still got tons of backdated photos to share so I won’t be showing my CNY celebration pics till I clear my 2011 December ones!

Sometime in December, Sebastian and Xing invited me to the grand opening party of Lucky 13, a new club in town. It was a costume party and I brought along some friends including Regina, JW, Melva and Ang. . Before the partying began, Ang, Regina and I had dinner at Food For Thought which is a little cafe along Queens St near SAM.

Regina had the risotto which didn’t look too appetizing but tasted good. And I ordered the chicken cutlet which turned out to be humongous!!! Definitely the dish to order if you are hungry.

After dinner we had drinks with Sebastian, Xing and Alex and 313 Somerset while waiting for Melva. Everyone was so prepared for the costume party I felt underdressed! LOL. Sebby had broke his leg (for real!) and had a cast on his leg so he had no choice but to build his costume around that and bandaged his head as well! This is probably the first time I’ve been out clubbing on the dance floor with someone on crutches! Xing was Lady Zorro and Alex went full force with his shrek costume! It’s hilarious seeing Shrek boogie on the dance floor!

There were so many others in the cutest most ridiculous costumes. My favorite that night was of a gal in the full vegas show girl costume with feathers and all, and a couple that came as Little Bo-Peep and her sheep! I really got to give the guy 2 thumbs up for coming as his girlfriend’s sheep.

After the party at Lucky 13 we all headed to Zouk but I was pretty tired and chickened out at the entrance in favor of a good maggie mee goreng supper at Newton instead.

I usually go for brunch with my girlfriends on Sundays and on Saturdays it’s brunch with my parents. But unlike the western brunches with the girls having eggs benedict or fluffy pancakes. My parents prefer the asian breakfast style. Meaning it’s usually, dim sum, bah kut teh with rice or congee. Personally I love both western and eastern breakfast dishes and most importantly, the company that comes with my weekend brunches.

Attended a friend’s baptism ceremony and celebration for their 3 very cute sons. I will not be posting their photos on my blog but after the celebration I headed down to Melva’s nail store to meet the girl for some after dinner snacks. Well, after dinner for me and dinner for her.

I was absolutely craving for the Japanese salads at Tampopo Deli. I’m a frequent visitor there and so far almost all of my friends who’ve tried the cake, pudding and deserts there have found them to be pretty good! It was a great catch-up session with Melva and we may be working together towards something more exciting. Won’t say what so I don’t jinx it!

I’ve been a little inspired by old movies lately and Soylent Green was one of which I watched. And I’ve taken a liberal use of this futuristic Sci-Fi show about the end of the world to name my blog post and outfit shot.

Headed down to town for a dress fitting at Granny Days Out. It’s actually quite fun trying out vintage dresses especially when you come across vintage clothing that seem to fit your style completely. I was personally taken in my 2 very pretty vintage evening wear.

Regina accompanied me for the fitting of the clothes and after which we had fun trying out wigs! Unlike Regina which had a drastic image change when she covered her short hair with long hair wigs, the long haired wigs were so similar to my real hair that even the SA couldn’t differentiate whether I had a wig on or off. The one one that made a world of a difference is the fringe wig. Yes, they actually make wigs for fringes and I look uber nerdy with short fringe! LOL! But it was definitely a distinct look and maybe someday I will share with you on my blog. I actually never got down to wearing it after buying!

After the long shopping day we headed down to Tampopo Deli at Liang Court cause we’re both huge fans of the fruit cake and the salads there.

In the midsts of our hunger, we wandered into the neighboring Japanese Restaurant called Okinawan Diner Nirai and it is absolutely themed like Okinawa Island in Japan. A rustic beach vibe with lots of 1950s Japanese memorabilia. I had the fried pork with rice and it was so yummy! Regina ordered the noodles but it was only average. I haven’t tried anything else there yet so I guess I need to go back again to try something else!

I’m not sure if this place serves authentic Okinawa food which is famed for low-salt, low- fat healthy food. But I think it’s worth another try for me.
