Quick Note on a Friday at home

Hi guys! I am stay9ing home on a Friday! YES I AM!

Anyway I have just watched American Idol semi Final 2. GOSHI really wanna faint already!

It’s like…the contestant kept picking the wrong songs and sang terribly!

Except this two contestants!

Adam

Adam Lambert- Paula said : I feel like I am not watching American Idol but I am watching Adam Lambert’s concert! I think he is certainly one of the strong ones in the batch! He is kinda hot too!!!

Allison

Allison Iraheta – She sang “Alone” by Celine Dion. It was so fantastic!!! Strong vocal definitely!

Fingers crossed that they get through, as for the third spot, I don’t really care. The rest were pretty crap anyway.



On another note, tomorrow I am going to the NATAS Travel Fair to book my family’s trip to Hokkaido, Japan in July! We want to go and see Lavender!

Can’t wait for that to happen! Hope there would be good deals as well!More details to follow shortly!

Have a good weekend peeps!!!

Dim Sum @ Imperial Treasure Restaurant, Takashimaya

Been wanting to go this restaurant for dim sum ages ago after reading Simon’s post on it.

Brought mom there over the weekend as she loves dim sum too.

Result? We loved it! It’s so yummylicious!

Imperial Group, I suppose I can go visit their other restaurants as well

chicken feet, this is very good! marinated well

IMG_0446

xiao long bao- I was a bit hesitant to order this but I was wrong, I think this is of the same standard as Ding Tai Feng if not better!

IMG_0447

Steamed pork ribs, someone enjoyed this very much too!

IMG_0448

This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! The soup is so sweet and the beancurd roll tasted heavenly~

IMG_0444

The char siew bao is not bad also!

The other item I would recommend is the 韮菜饺子, its some vegetable dumpling! I love it so much that I’ve forgotten to take a picture of it!!!

This restaurant would definitely be in my dim sum list, I shall return again to try some other stuff.

The total bills costs around 40 for the three of us.


Thanks Simon for the good recommendation!

My B Day 2009 – PART 2

Yes this is the second part and final part of my B day celebration!

For B day dinner, we went to Forlino @ One Fullerton. My friend actually recommended this restaurant to me, saying that the ambience is romantic and the food is fantastic!

I was really looking forward to the dinner but I also felt very full from my B day lunch earlier!

IMG_0266

On the way to Forlino…the long walk….this is the underpass in the Fullerton Hotel

IMG_0308

dimmed staircase up to the restaurant

IMG_0267

The traditional menu which consists of the Chef’s signature dishes!

One of the dining rooms where we had our dinner

IMG_0272

One picture before our dinner.

We ordered one traditional menu and another main course.

IMG_0274

Complimentary Foccacia Bread from the restaurant..made by the Chef’s wife. It’s a bit too hard for my liking.

IMG_0275

Complimentary Calamari, a wee bit too oily, if not it will be perfect

IMG_0277

View outside the window..that’s the Merlion Park down there and Esplanade on the right side of the picture

IMG_0278

Appetizer: Home Cured Meat Platter -Parma Hams..love the one at the middle of first row.. its so THIN

IMG_0279

The Middle Course- Veal Ravioli. I didn’t taste it but J said it’s delicious!

IMG_0283

My Duck Pasta with Foe Grais . I love this! The amount of the sauce is just right and it’s heavenly with the taste of Foe Grais!

IMG_0284

Mama Lamb Chop from the traditional Menu. I am surprised that although its deep fried, this lamb chop does not taste dry and hard at all. What is the secret?

IMG_0285

There is cheese inside! What a brilliant idea!

IMG_0286

Then…there is also a complimentary cake from the restaurant!

IMG_0291

Me with the cake!

IMG_0290

me with the boss who foot the bill!!! People says we look alike? Do we? What do you think?

IMG_0292

His dessert: Chocolate Mouse. It’s actually very good but I was too full to finish it!

With all that, our meal was happily concluded.

IMG_0300

I simple adore the corridor! It’s so classic..!

IMG_0304

and the red couch!

Forlino is definitely recommended for special occasions as it is a bit pricey. Do give it a try if you need to celebrate anything! I believe it will become more popular as it has already gained such good publicity only after its opening for 8 months. We took a walk after the dinner and returned home after.

IMG_0325

It was a great birthday celebration for me. I am truly blessed with people who care about me…

Anyway Valentine’s Day is also coming up but I do not think we will try another fine dining again as I am craving for some down to earth food like pork ribs etc!

Well, We will see…..
