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. 

A productive weekend. More of such weekends. 
What's better than a weekend spent exploring food and cozy looking shops along rows of shop-houses with back alleys that are worth stopping for some photo-taking? That was my Saturday. Trying my best to ignore my constipation problem, I decided to pamper it with food hoping it'd get better and it didn't. But at least food wise, it left me no room to whine about.

Child kidnapper alert! 


Books Actually
I haven't had time to immerse myself in world of words for so long. All my reading time is devoted to studying and slipping in time to catch up on news daily. Reading news is probably the closest I've been to actually reading during my degree phase. Long forgotten are the touch of storybooks in my hands, the smell of the pages when I flip over and the reluctant slipping of my bookmark in between the pages when I've to stop reading. I'll be back on my reading track after I'm done with my final wees. Reading of books which I'm emotionally attracted to and of course those that I'm 'financially' and 'economically' attracted to if you get what books those are.

PS Cafe only allows takeaways and the limited seats are only suitable for wine tasting or desserts and the Q at a food bistro signified a wait too terrifying for our famished stomachs, we settled for Poteato.
The truffle fries reminded me that I still haven't pay Sprmrkt a visit for their highly raved truffle fries. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that this truffle fries' sub-standard reminded me of that, this plate is goodness itself. 

Buffalo wings

My BBQ ribs with a unique sauce which tastes of Indian's spices that I, fortunately, like. No racist intention, just that Jeremy didn't like the taste of spice in the sauce like I did,

Having laid my eyes on PS Cafe's desserts section earlier on, it would be a sin if I didn't take a leap at their desserts so here, this rich and moist chocolate cake with generous layer of nuts. Though delicious, but it is on the pricier side to me. $12 for a slice of cake. I guess I ain't cut out for those high-end tai tai hi-tea lifestyle. 

LONG TIME CRAVING! Creamier waffles! My liking for waffles found its way of enlightenment when I had my first bite on Wimbly Lu's thick, crispy & fluffy waffles. Never thought I'd find a waffle that I'd like more (equally yes but not more) until I tried Creamier's. 


The main reason why I prefer Creamier's is because it's thicker yet it doesn't lose the crispiness & fluffiness. And their interesting flavors of ice-cream appeals more to me than Wimbly's.


The night got more interesting after our late night indulgence of waffles. Impromptu trip to Bukit Batok Nature Park had us seeing two 'suspicious' looking cars parked at dark corners of the park with their engine off, blinds drawn. Hanky-panky moments. Though the cars weren't 'rocking'. Haha. Either it's cost-saving (than a motel/hotel) or they find it adventurous. Either way, it's weird to me. 
Anyway, we may be going back to Bukit Timah Hill this coming Sunday for trekking because the darkness prevented us from doing so that night.
We were running in the rain, like two mad persons who couldn't care any less about the mud that were sticking onto our feet or about the amused faces who were throwing us puzzled stares. In that split second, while watching his chubby naked back prancing infront of me and having his shirt which he took off for me hovering over my head, I am, once again, more than certain that he's the only one whom I want to shield me away from all the storms like he never fails to do so. 
Ma Maison is, to our disappointment, extremely overrated. No, I'm not relying on HGW's reviews but on the blogs reviews. 

Maybe the problem lies with us, we've one hella picky taste bud.








The serving of food was making us sleepy.

My cheese steak 

Which looks better than it tastes. It'd have been better if it comes with a more compatible tasty sauce. 

ONLY dish that's worth commending - cha soba salad. A new experience. 


Redbull, having addicted to Saveur's seabass, decided to take a leap of faith & ordered Ma Maison's seabass which was nowhere near. TOLD YA! Not every seabass is going to be as nice as Saveur's. I DID warn him but he didn't heed my wise advice. 




Redbull was craving for Korean BBQ last week. Instead of heading to our usual (ok, not exactly our usual hideout dinner place, but it's the only korean dining place we've been to twice) Manbok Galbi
, I suggested a change of our pig-out place. Did some reading ups on Korean BBQ and I settled for Wang Dae Bak, reason being it has the most tempting photos posted by people who patronized the place.

Btw, Redbull's sister joined us too! 
More crowd = more food. 
Janice said they serve different side dishes every time but that night, they didn't serve my favorite glass noodle. WELL, not too depressing as my 2nd favorite fish cakes were there. 

Didn't snap many photos of the food but here's what we had:
Pork belly - $20
Spicy marinated chicken - $18
Herb wine pork belly which has gotta be my favorite - $22
Seafood tofu soup - $16/18
Seafood pancake which is so humongous the 3 of us only had half of that - $16/18

And the next day, I had teppanyaki at JB after my monthly facial appointment with Heroine & Janice. 
It was my first time chewing on ostrich meat (don't know if it's authentic though) and I like the pig liver taste it has for the first few chews. 
This big portion is priced at only RM30.90

Chanced upon the mooncakes booths while we were going to buy the vitamin C pills for Lavigne and we ended up spending 2-3 hours in the mall. From now on, we're going to buy mooncakes in Malaysia because we get to save 50% for every single mooncake! Only downside is that most of the booths don't allow tasting unlike the ones in SG. But well, fortunate us bought all our mooncakes at booths that do provide tasting. 

Now, I can't wait for Mid-autumn Festival to arrive! 
Counting down to 19 Sep 2013.
