Buffet hi-tea @ Sheraton Towers-the Dining Room

long time since i ate a buffet, hehe..or nt reali dat long, ard 4 mths..tis time we went to hi-tea at Sheraton fr 12 to 4pm...i wasnt really hungry, until i tried the desserts, which was really appertisting, no doubt :P...i do like the ambience there, n definately d service was good...main course nt bad too...we had popiah, carrot cake, rojak, laksa, etc...n wat was unique was the vietnamese style rice roll wif duck meat n mango sauce...but i was really interested in it, rather that the chuwanmushi.... have always liked chuwanmushi, n tis was good, wif a generous servings of mushroom n crabmeat...on d whole, i had 6 bowls of it...oops...high cholesterol, but i couldnt resist it..except dat i made a fool of myself while attempting to 'move' the hot bowls

the main attraction was definately the desserts there, in petite sizes served in small glasses, containers, etc...(haha, i duno d right word, oops).. i luv the lil glasses of raspberry jelly (i had 2) though, n there was scones, sandwiches (quite diff fr usual), durian pengat ( which i tried it once in merchant court buffet too), choco fondue, raspberry cheese, chocolate cakes, cheesecakes, traditional kuehs-kueh dada, ondeh2,etc, n waffle wif icecream...yum yum...

i would definately come back again for its desserts...:)

Catching up n dinner,etc....

met up wif juliet n shwufen on fri nite.....juliet n i went ahead wif dinner @ sushi tei as shwufen was caught up wif wrk.....haha, we couldnt resist the temptation of d sashimi so finished them up b4 sf came...anyway, we did ask her if she likes raw food, since she doesnt really like it...so we 'had no choice' but to finish it most happily...hehe..quite drama, that there was a fly on d sushi platter so we had another changed, so it's almost like eating double the quantity...n d waitress broke a glass right besides us, which fortunally left us unscathed....

then wanted to watch movie after dinner, but left wif front seats for beverly hills chihuahua..thus we rather went for coffee n mudpie at coffee club...chatting, gossiping n bombarding me wif issues dat i hate to discuss :)..n hw we missed studying...haha, not for me, as at this moment....there we sat until until half past midnite, before finally heading home, as i was really exhausted

November 'babies'

Got a bd cake for sis n a bouquet of flowers for serene shared wif sis...

n we are getting sick of cakes fr rive, got to find another replacement soon...n i havent find a suitable bd present for sis as yet then...haha

Dinner on Monday

Walked home aft wrk on Mon...juz to bring alicia out wif me...actually i wanted her to go by herself to meet me n Sis, haha, but dat's impossible...we went to the ulu bras basah to have her fav 'cha jiang mian' at tian jin guan....usually i shld b hungry at dinner time...but due to an 'output overload', i couldnt absorb much input...hahaha...anway we were also there for sis to choose her baby g watch so dat i can get it for her as a bd present

Over the weekend...

i was really overwhelmed with work since my leave...whole week i worked non-stopped on the preparation of the ml and also out almost everyday...really horrible...hopefully it's better nx wk onwards..

really did luk forward to the wkend...was @ holland v with cousins on sat...muching away on snacks n unhealthy stuff...went to meet pris on sun...indulging in jap fd n coffee again....we are really lazy ppl, hahaha

Please be fair!!!!

the incident of the mauling of the zoo worker by the white tigers has been an hot issue recently.....personally, from my viewpoint, the public is not being fair to all parties, especially the tigers...some members of the public, but not all, are blaming the tigers for mauling a human to death, some are blaming the zoo for not acting appropriately...so whose fault is it??

the white tigers of the zoo (omar, and sisters jippie & winnie) were actually send from one of the indonesia zoos, a few years ago, probably around 1999...white tigers is actually a rare species as compared to the more common tigers.... omar was actually one of the animals being considered for the singapore zoo icon after ah meng's death....

the main issue that i would like to point out, the tigers reacted in the most natural way in this case, what else can they do when a person intrude into their area and starts to agitate them...of coz, the natural prey-predator instinct would cause the tigers to see a person as their prey...omar was actually not involved in it....on the other hand, winnie and jippie mauled on the worker with their paws which was enough to cause much damage...the tigers which were captive animals from young would definately avoid humans and not attack them unless when aroused by them...

please be fair to the tigers in this unfortunate incident!!!!

Hippo-mei's desserts

cant actually remember when did i had this...should be some time ago with juliet @ swensons...hehe, 5 scoops of icecream for each of us...big appetite!!!

well, d main thing was our dessert, we were so attracted by d new item-mudpie on d menu...so we ordered it n a topless 5, but ended up they dun hv dat new item...why on earth did they put it in the menu then...irks, we r urgin for mudpie now...anyway, we juz mk do wif d topless 5..im nt used to sharing it though, coz usually i hv d whole 5 scoop of icecreams to myself, whahaha..

in order to satisfy our craving...we went around luking for coffee club...for my fav muddy mudpie...keke...at last we found it...aft walking round T2 n T3...keke..it's really cozy there.... n we had trouble goin hm in d end...coz we can't find irene's car in d carpark...however, kudos to d excellent memory n analytical mind of our 12 yrs old gal-alicia for finally finding d car bk n sending us home safely.. :P
