OH. MY. GOD.
I have been binging for the past few days............god noes how much i've spent on food alone.......i've been dining out almost everyday ever since my exams ended can...........
We went out to Holland V (with Chris and Rachel) on Sunday night and headed to Crystal Jade for dinner..........and coincidentally we sat at the same table as the one when we came last time with xin hui. I was really really hungry cos i din eat breakfast nor lunch so i decided to order 2 dishes.........and in the end it was porridge and wanton mee (dry). They were fantastic (as usual) though i didn't really like the wanton mee's soup...........the smell a bit too strong plus it wasn't as sweet as i wanted it to be....... Plus we ordered a veg as well........it was sum veg with 3 different eggs in it..........with a bit of soup and it was rather nice, probably because i like all 3 eggs (normal egg, century egg as well as salted egg). I was the only one who had dessert there and i ordered this red bean paste thingy with lotus seeds but it turned out more like red bean soup rather than paste.........i wanted to eat orh ni (yam paste) but they din have it.........after dat it was STILL dessert time so we went to Cold Rock for ice cream.........chose ferraro and tiramisu with dark-pitted cherries and marshmallows as toppings........and they mashed them up together.........AND I TELL U, IT WAS FANTASTIC! Surprisingly the 2 flavours complemented each other very well and the marshmallows became slightly frozen when mixed with the ice cream which gave it a very very nice texture! Plus the dark pitted cherries were nothing like the normal syrup cherries u see on cakes and stuff (which i HATE a lot....) THEY WERE SO GOOD! Blissful................but obviously it comes with a price..........and not a cheap one too........damn why is good food always so expensive....especially dessert................
Then Monday was supposed to be another lunch outing with Chris and xin hui (she had her last paper on monday morning...) Was supposed to go for Jap food buffet at Hanabi but cos they wanted to save money so decided to find sumwhere else (even though we ended up spending more........stupid lar.......) In the end we drove to Suntec and stupidly settled for this Jap teppanyaki restaurant...........me n xinhui ardered the special set which cost us a whooping $26.......!! But it was supposed to have beef, fish, squid, prawns n oysters so we thought it was ok..........Chris ordered the cod fish set........in the end they told us they ran out of oysters and would substitute it with prawns, and when our set came it wasn't as big as i thought. It merely resembled a huge pile of mess on the plate.......they did give loads of vegetables though........Chris's cod fish was pathetically small and it still cost him $19....................what the fuck............waste money.............cud have eaten Jap food buffet for that price lar!
We left the restaurant w/o feeling very satisfied........and i was pissed cos i wasn't full AT ALL...........so we bot pretzels at Aunt Anne's, and as usual i bot my sour cream one........Chris got the cinnamon sugar one which was supposedly very good.......i tried a bit but din quite like it........
THEN we went to Ben and Jerry's for more ice cream! Cost us another 14 bucks but what the heck it's Ben and Jerry's............
THEN we went to buy bubbletea...........and me n xinhui as usual got the passion fruit red tea........if not that flavour most prob i wud have gotten the peach one.........always the same old same old............plus i went to buy the XXL Chicken Chop with extra chilli powder from the Taiwan Xiao Chi and LOVED IT..........! i really ate damn a lot rite...? But dat's not all........i bot 6 doughnuts frm donut factory sumore................dat's why the 2 of them called me Monster Monster, or simply Monster Square..................cos i eat damn a lot...........
Den today actually supposed to go Sim Lim with xinhui cos both of us wanted to buy external hard disc (i initially spelt it as "external hard dick"..............) but both of us overslept..........but she smsed me when she was coming bck to hall asking me whether i still want to go or not.........since i wasn't doing anything we went in the end.........i bot another Fables n Lucifer graphic novels from kinokuniya before we left for SL but in the end none of us bot the external hard disk cos we didn't noe which brand is good and what price is justifiable......we're just tech noobs...........went to Border's cos she wanted to buy sum German stuff to brush up her language before she leaves for her immersion in another month's time......den we bot starbucks before coming back.......
And that's about it..........going back tomorrow............finally, after such a long time...........but packing all my stuff up is really giving me a headache...........
