bus-ed to krc from school to meet lingie and watch lawmed soccer, which we didn't win ): then we took the train to chinatown and hung around waiting for rondie. poor rondie had a hard week at work (T_T)\(^-^) we need a scumbag boss meme. or is there one somewhere already?
dim sum at chinatown!
round 1 *dingdongdingdong*
round 2 we were too busy eating so there were no pictures (no okay it's actually 'cause my camera battery died and i FORGOT to bring the extra battery *gasp* i am losing my camwhoring touch)
haato ice cream by the riverside (: (picture stolen off fb from rondie)
we decided to take a night stroll to clarke quay for dessert, and to pretend we are happening people out on a friday night. it was a good night, just chillin' by the river ♥

sanyee's 60th birthday dinner
held at imperial treasure fine chinese cuisine at mbs.
pretty bouquet of flowers for sanyee
my OOTD:
lace minidress: thescarletroom
suede wedges: lovebonito
metallic grey clutch: bangkok
i bought this dress quite long ago, but i haven't worn it in a while. i like it a lot, other than the fact that it doesn't have any button keyhole closure for its high neckline. which makes it hard for people who have a slightly big head like me, because you'll find yourself having a hard time trying to put your head through without tearing your
sis, bro, me, couz
...and i only look like i'm of comparable height because i'm wearing 4-inch wedges (T_T) #lifeofashortgirl
daddy and his two girls ♥
sweet white wine to start off the dinner. this is good! although the moscato we had at wilson's was still sweeter (yes i am no connoisseur, i like wine by their sweetness)
and the following are only pictures of select dishes out of the many many dishes we ate for dinner. which explains why i am still up blogging; i'm too full to sleep.
lobster sashimi - it was so fresh the poor lobster was still moving as we ate it. i do not understand how that is possible. the flesh of the lobster was laid out on a bed of ice on the plate, so technically the lobster is only an empty shell, so why was it still moving?! *traumatised*
the yummiest thing ever. sauteed scallop with egg white and truffle oil ♥♥♥
i'd love to learn how to make this; the egg white was so fluffy.
roasted suckling pig that had really nice crisp skin
steamed coral trout ♥
i do not know what this is called in english. nor in chinese for that matter. for those who understand cantonese, it's called mah-lai gou. i suppose that translates to 马拉糕 in chinese? hmm.
in fact, the whole dinner conversation was conducted in (rapid-fire) cantonese, as usual. for those who don't understand canto, i.e. sis and cookie's boyfriend, our raucous family dinners are probably not as interesting as they really are.
cherry & rum birthday cake from awfully chocolate. i've only ever tried the pure chocolate and chocolate banana one, but this is pretty good too.
when you turn 60 you get to eat 寿桃
sanyee and i (: we look like we have an eye-smile thing going on.
with cookie
holidays are good ♥ (at least, it's a self-declared holiday till i have to start mugging again)
