Happy Birthday to Dad and Bro!

It was my Dad and Bro's bday and we all went out to celebrate.

We chose a Jap restaurant @ United Square which had a Hi Tea Buffet.

The Hi Tea buffet didn't offer beef .. oh the irony considering that their logo is that of a cow :P

But the rest of the selection was pretty good.

I ate so much of the pork belly :) I love that they had sashimi too!

The lamb had to be cooked in a little aluminum container. It was yummy.

I really enjoyed the meal. I was able to burn the fat on the meat to a crisp ... haha, I love eating burnt meat. Yes, I'm weird. They had to change both the charcoal and the grill (on 2 separate occasions) once and they were able to do it pretty quick so our eating wasn't interrupted too much :)

The bill came out to about SGD25 per person. Would really consider going back again.

P.S. Haha, in case no one knew, I'm busy in HKO, which explains for the very undetailed post :P

Durian Fiesta 2009!

This year's Durian Fiesta was held pretty late in the year. It kept getting postponed. Last year my friends and I all went but this year it was just my sis and I.

This weekend was supposed to be the weekend that we would all go to Malacca but there was a clash in schedules and in the end, the plan was scrapped. The whole point was to go as a group and it kinda defeats the purpose if some couldn't make it.

Anyway, I had told my mom to sell her tics first as we were still unsure of whether we could make it. On the day b4, my mom still had tics and so asked if my friends were interested but no one was :( So it was just my sis, dad and I.

We got there early as my mom had to help set things up.

There was no longan this year! :P I don't like mangosteen and can't eat fresh pineapples :(

The King of Fruits!

I thought that the durians this year was better than last year and the area they chose to hold the event was alot more spacious. I ate so much durian that I was pretty stuffed.

This year they order more and so my mom was even able to bring home some leftovers! Looks like I will be having more durian tomorrow :D

Dinner and a movie :)

Met up with the gals (and a hubby) on Fri. Had not seen YQ since he came back from US a few weeks ago. We decided to have dinner @ PS as the movie we had planned later was also going to be at PS.

I got to PS pretty early and decided to stop by PoMo to visit Grace but unfortunately she was home, sick :( I ended up just roaming the mall until Shanice and YQ showed up. We couldn't decide what to eat and when all else fails, Japanese is the way to go :)

The food was not bad and we made sure NOT to eat till we were stuffed as we already had part 2 planned.

After dinner, my sis joined us and we headed to Cafe Cartel where they had 50% off appetizers and coffee after 9pm.

Oh, cakes were also 50% off as they needed to clear everything at the end of the day.

There was free flow of bread but I did not touch any.

Yvonne joined us and had dinner ... they awesome ribs which YQ and my sis helped her finish ;)

We hung around till our movie, 500 Days Of Summer, started @ 1150pm.

The gals .....

While in the cinema, after it turn midnight (they were still showing previews), all of us text KL to wish him a very Happy Birthday. Too bad he couldn't join us as he already had plans :(

The movie was ok, it was one of those movies that is supposed to make u feel like there is someone out there for u and and that everything happens for a reason .... is it really true? Sigh.
