Brunch at Graze, 4 Rochester Park

After seeing LadyIronChef’s review on this place and upon recommendation by my cousin, I’ve decided to try it out and I finally did on last Sunday!

Graze is located at 4 Rochester Park, near the MRT station of Buona Vista. It’s actually about 8-10 mins walk. Why not burn some calories before putting them on?

HERS – Simply Egg Benedict with salmon & spinach, recommended by the waiter, $17

IMG_0673

Check out the egg yolk! Gosh, it was HEAVENLY! Perfect combination with smoked salmon and loads of spinach in between the bread, like a burger!

Dessert time! Home made strawberry and honeycom ice cream was recommended. The ice cream was not too sweet and it’s very fresh! I didn’t go for the black & white pudding as I thought it would be too rich.

It’s so pretty that I can’t help to take a few more pictures of it!

IMG_0679

I have also ordered a pot of black rose tea, eh, the petals aren’t black! $6

IMG_0661

obligatory picture…I only slept around 4 am the previous night..!

CAN’T WAIT TO bring my girlfriends there……it’s such a nice cozy place to chill, chat and spend your weekend morning there!

Miss the egg benedict already!

I know my friend is a Shopaholic because …

I AM TOO! This is quite easy to answer!!!

Shopping is every girl’s passion!Well, maybe not for a small portion of girls….

We both love fashion and we would always talk about what’s IN and HOT in the fashion market whenever we get together! And without a doubt she is my shopping buddy in Singapore!

IMG_0416

Ms SW and Me!!!

We love reading Vivi magazine!!!

There are all the latest fashion in there!

Most importantly, it will be Ms. SW's birthday on Thurs! This will be such a good present for her to catch this movie ahead of everyone else!

All girls beware…….we definitely have to…….

Carrie Underwood is so amazing!

I am super in love with this song now! She practically outsang Randy Travis! It’s so touching….

Started to like her when she first auditioned for American Idol…

She is the most deserving idol EVER!

Enjoy………….

Busy weekend in KL

Story is I was suppose to go back to KL on Thurs night itself! Then last minute I have a meeting to attend on Fri so I have to forgo my flight back on Thurs night and got a bus ticket back to KL.

As usual, the bus journey for me was so intolerable! Not because of the bus itself but the journey is simply too long! It took me almost 6 hours to get home!

But then it was my father’s birthday so I ought to go back and at least have dinner with him!

So I did!

Oh I love my new sunny from Gucci! I didn’t think I need a sunny at first but the bf wants to buy one and I thought why not as I haven’t bought one in almost 10 years time! Time to get one huh!

Did some survey in singapore previously and I absolutely love Gucci’s sunny! Saw some nice Salvatore Ferragamo too but heck it was about RM1300 maybe because of its bling bling?

Anyway this is my baby now! costs me almost RM600!

DSC03614

It’s not total dark kind of sunglass..but gradual dark…sales girl said it can be worn outdoor and also indoor!

DSC03602 DSC03603

DSC03613

Bought this coz I adore these gold studs! It’s rocker style attracts me!

DSC03597

Trying to act cool but why I pout?

Celebrated my Father’s Birthday at the Oriental Pavillion, Jaya 33.

From L to R: Crab Roe tofu (tasted a bit bland to me), chargrill pork ribs (no ribs at all, its just meat! I wonder why its called pork ribs) and the must order lamb racks! (still as tasty as ever)

Also ordered Peking Duck, the duck was just too big for the 5 of us..We ended up full after this first dish!

Didn’t bring my camera home so all photos were taken by my phone.

Oh went to Ministry of Food dessert also as my sis was having craving!

DSC03590

our tea time snacks, Tuna egg wasabi sandwich. I love this! Very unique with wasabi!

DSC03588

My sis's craving! I haven’t had this before in Singapore but I must say the sweet potatoes are crispy and good to go with the ice creams and the red beans!

DSC03591

Mom had this and she said it’s way too sweet for her!

Sunday brunch with sis at Marmalade. Always wanted to try this out but always gone to Delicious! Finally I think Delicious suck because 1. you always have to queqe 2. the staff there can’t understand what you said on first attempt 3. the portion of their food has shrunk tremendously 4. the menu is always the same!

DSC03615

Love the wallpaper, I must have cute wallpaper for my kids’ room in the future too!

DSC03619

My “Green Egg”, actually egg with Pesto sauce..em..think it’s too much pesto sauce for me but I am happy with the amount of avocado and mushrooms I have although I must admit that Delicious’ bread is nicer! Well, you can’t have the best of both worlds can you?

DSC03621

Sis’s “hearty Brekkie”, she got four chicken sausages as we don’t eat beef bacons. Simple food for the soul!

I think I will try out the rest of their brunch items again! The food came fast as I was rushing to meet up with my friends.

Went to Paddington Pancake House at the Curve. Ordered this dessert pancake. IT was huge! Couldn’t finish even half of it, probably because I was too full from brunch!

DSC03623

Friend had their Grilled lamb which costs RM35 and he commented it was horrible! I think the standard must has dropped because I used to love their food!

Anyway with all these activities packed in the weekend, I came down with fever and on MC today.

Work again tomorrow!

Hope it will be a good week ahead! Good luck everyone!

American Idol Top 13- Predictions

Just finished watching American Idol!

This time round two contestants will be out instead of one, probably because they have Top 13 instead of Top 12?

I must say that most of the contestants performed really well, especially Adam Lambert!Again I feel like I was watching his concert and his vocal is plain crazy, impossible!

My predictions of who will be out of this:

1. Jasmine Murray

No originality at all although her voice was quite powerful

2. Anoop Desai

Too bad for this guy, his MJ song was so karaoke!

3. Megan Joy

Come out, she shouldn’t be in Top 13 in the first place! When she performed justnow, I think that she is such a joke! However, I think her son is quite adorable!

Well, we shall see whether I am right when the results are released tomorrow!

I am also sad that Jorge Nunez didn’t perform that well, he obviously picked a song that he didn’t even like it/familiar with. It all shows from his performance!

10 March 2009

Craving for this!

Had this long time ago….cheap and damn good pizza!!!

DSC03313

The ingredients were so fresh! and guess how much it is? only $8!

This pizza can be found here!

DSC03320

No fancy, romantic atmosphere but only good pizza!

I must try their pasta also next time!

Oh you can check out their website as stated in the picture above!

DSC03314

Tiramisu that only costs $2.50 I think….not fantastic but not bad also!

DSC03311

Try it out someday and let me know if you like it!

IT’s only wed tomorrow!

Can’t wait to go back to KL this weekend……….

Yesterday I was watching the videos of Umno Youth and Karpal Singh incident on youtube! I was indeed very shocked at the behaviours of some people…Sometimes I really wonder if I should give up my Malaysian citizenship and just become a Singaporean!

Haven’t watched it yet? All Malaysian should watch it. Go search for the videos on youtube now!
