My weekends were so packed I even had to set alarms on both days, something I don't usually do because I wish for my weekends to be less hectic. Moreover, it's sufficient to be setting alarms on 5 out of 7 days in a week right? Last weekend was packed with meaningful activities and I didn't have sufficient sleep on both Fri & Sat nights. The waking up early part was a feat, it was the sleeping late the night before part that made me really grouchy for not having ample beauty sleep.

Anyway, Redbull, shell & I accompanied wy for her monthly medical check-up and her bb is 14 weeks old which means WE CAN KNOW THE GENDER! A bb BOY! Now we can buy gender specific things. 

Indescribable emotions the moment this appeared on the flat screen. This was my first time seeing a new life that has yet to be brought to earth. Every thing so fragile, precious and amazing contained in this little new life. I was left bewildered seeing how big this little bb is despite how wy's weight has been dropping since her pregnancy. You continue growing healthily, little bb. But at the same time, try to spare your mummy as little agony as possible. Be healthy, both you precious darlings.

The rare day wy's appetite grew.

We had lunch at Saveur. Disappointed at the basmati rice with chicken roulade. The rice was watery and less rich. Their rice was one of my favs. The seabass, duck confit & pistachio dessert maintained the standard though I'm kinda sick of Saveur for the time being. The downside of having it too frequently. 

Right after Saveur, we Q up for Sushi Bar at fep while shell went for her waxing which is just opposite. By the time she was done, it was our turn. Yes, the Q is always long. But we were rewarded with food that was worthy of the Q. 

Had 2 plates of this salmon aburi. Am gonna try the soft shell crab salmon aburi the next time.

Their sirloin steak is a must try! 

Sunday was healthy trekking day at Bukit Timah Hill with the couple who was late. Redbull & I went ahead with the trekking by ourselves and halfway through, they called to say they were on their way so we took the same route back to the main road. 

The momentum of constantly going on food hunting trips has decreased, sadly. But last week, the predators are unleashed, finally. Almost missed our stop if not for Redbull's sharp observation skills as Hungrygowhere's credibility failed us for the first time. I always relied on hgw for addresses & it stated that Saveur is at Purvis St but turns out it is right outside fep. 

Expected the Q especially when a dining place specifically mentions it doesn't take in reservations. 

But technology saved the day: we skipped the boredom of staying in the Q as they rang us up while we were window shopping at fep once our table was ready for our possession. 

Saveur's Pasta
Nothing to rave about as this tastes like ordinary dry maggie mee which is nice but doesn't taste like pasta at all despite looking like one. 

The next 3 mains we ordered were impressive. Delicious & very affordable plate-licking dishes.
Duck's Confit
Not a big fan of mashed potato but this was the exception. The duck was well marinated. 

I couldn't decide which was my favorite. Duck confit or this. The creamy basmati rice made a non-supporter of rice like me went bonkers. I'm definitely going to order an extra side dish of basmati rice the next time we go. 

Pan-seared seabass
The challenge in using any other method aside from steaming to cook any fish is to retain the moisture within. This challenge seemed to be a feat to the chefs at Saveur. 

Wanted to try the Choc & Hazelnut but it was oos (it must be really good) so we opted for Pistachio Panna Cotta which was uniquely delighting. The pistachio flavored dessert reminded me of the pistachio cupcake my siz baked which was equally satisfying for me. 

We caught About Time at Shaw and it left the sentimental us tearing. I was still crying when I left the theater & this bully just loves to make it worse by narrating the sad scene to me knowing that I'd cry yet asking me to hush then repeated the scene again.
