Tea Cosy @ Plaza Singapura

Last week I went to Plaza Singapura with my lovely housemate to have some snacks and chit-chat time. We didn't know where to go because it was a weekend and Orchard- Dhoby Ghaut is always too crowded during weekends. Then we decided to walk around first and just decide on the spot. And then we found out this place, Tea Cosy at PS' 5th floor.

The decoration was so cute, it was as if they are selling furniture, I love their cute decoration and ambience. :)

We didn't have any main course as we were not interested on having a big meals, and then we ordered cheesy baked mushroom. My comment about this appetizer is: SUPERB! :)) I love the amount of cheese they have in each mushroom. The size of their mushroom was not too big, some even are small. But because of that, I love this menu even more, it was just perfect for a tea time snacks!

The second menu that we ordered was Ebony and Ivory. This dessert menu is a 4 pieces little brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and with sprinkled walnuts.

There was nothing extraordinary with the taste of the brownie and the ice cream. The taste of the brownie would be better if they would heat it up. However, the servings was quite satisfying for 2 persons. It wasn't too small neither too much.

We had such a great quality time. We talked so much about life and I loved my weekends :)

Ristorante Bologna

Hello all,

I've not been publishing anything in the past 1 month. And now I guess I have few articles to be published.

April has always been good to me; my birthday falls on April 6th, other than that I'm counting down to my wedding day (yay! =) )

We went to Ristorante Bologna to celebrate my birthday

dinner.

Ristorante bologna is an Italian restaurant in Marina Mandarin hotel. They serve wide range of pasta and Italian main course. I didn't see if they're serving pizza because I didn't notice their pizza menu.

I love the lamb pasta, it doesn't taste like ordinary pasta :) The pasta was so chewy and I love the taste of the lamb meat.

However, I'd say the fish that I ordered wasn't as good as I expected. It was just too ordinary for a 5 stars hotel menu.

As for my birthday cake, Ristorante Bologna surprised me with their signature tiramisu cake. I'm not a big fan of a tiramisu cake, but I'd say their tiramisu worth my two thumbs :) love it!

The price of their pasta & mains range from $20-$40, while the price of their tiramisu is about $14-$15.

If somebody ask me whether I'd visit Ristorante Bologna again, there's no doubt that I definitely will!

The Lion King

Hellooo.. ;)

I've been wanting to post this for a few days, so here it is..

Last week me and Erick went to Marina Bay Sands Theater to watch The Lion King.
I've bought the tickets for quite a while. I guess I purchased those tickets on November which is already about 5 months. Some friends told me that the show is really worth to watch. I have always been a fan of musical, so I ended up buying those tickets few months before the show.

This is my first time watching a musical in MBS theater. In my opinion, I prefer esplanade's theater. I like their seating plan better than MBS because esplanade's are less high, hence if I'm buying the cheap ticket, I'd still be able to watch the show nicely.

The property of the musical was superb! I have never seen any musical in my life that could bring out the "feeling" of the scene. One of my favorite scene was when Simba is frustrated waiting for his father's "guidance" and then his father's image emerged from a water reflection. Woww I had a goosebumps!!

So guys if you want to watch the show n still hesitate to buy the ticket, I'm reassuring you that you won't regret each cents of your money to watch this fantastic musical. ;)

Aquamarine Marina Mandarin

We were having dinner at Aquamarine for Erick's birthday.
Aquamarine is actually a buffet restaurant specializing in fresh seafood and local food. But we were not there for the buffet dinner but the ala carte dinner.

The range of the menu was good; they serve western food and Singapore's local delights such as laksa, rendang or even curry fish head.

We ordered two main dishes; silver cod wrapped in pork bacon served with corn salad and roasted potato.


The taste of the fish was yummy and it is perfectly cooked. The portion of the food was quite decent, it wasn't small nor too big.


The other main dish that we ordered was gordon bleu chicken


Erick liked the taste of the crispy chicken. But personally I think the taste of the chicken was just ok. There wasn't anything special about it. But I certainly love the sauteed vegetables they served. It was so juicy :)



It was a lovely night for us to dine in Aquamarine. We had a chocolate cake for the celebration, unfortunately I didn't take any picture of the cake.

Happy birthday dearest Erick <3>

Last weekend I went to Banyan Tree Bintan to have a weekend getaways. The environment there was so green and relaxing. It is a perfect weekend for anybody who wish to get out of a hectic life in Singapore. There wasn't much to do there other than swimming, eating or relaxing in the midst of forest and beach. Hence we can forget the problems we have in our days.

Valentine 2011

This is my 3rd valentine with my dear, and I have to admit that this is the best valentine in 3 years. =)

What's the real meaning of valentine's day? For me, it is to spread love not only to your bf/gf but also to your loved ones; your father, mother, siblings, friends.
So this year, I'm celebrating valentine's day not only with my beloved fiance, but also with my mom who was coincidentally in Singapore on valentine's day.

Fields Of Gold

Dearest Erick,
We'll be holding hand through the rest of our live.

Although I know life wouldn't always give us happiness,
but I'm sure when there is you beside me and I'm beside you,
the end of our path would be always in the fields of gold.
