last week was the festive and birthday season! i've been having good food for 6 days straight, meeting with different friends and tried many new places. its burned a big hole in my wallet and left me lots of fats to burn.

last thursday, i met mz and sw for dinner at bugis MOF. i liked it alot. it serves japanese food and quite reasonably priced. i tried their soba and it was delicious! their bento looks good too and is cheaper than the soba. though it looked a little small. their desserts menu looked very tempting and we ordered strawberry and black sesame ice cream. they came with a waffle biscuit that i thought was very nice. the dumplings were a little hard and tasteless though.

fri, met hui, ling and yun for dinner at sketches. i think its the worst place i ate for the past week. the pasta was reasonably priced but the jumbo platter was definitely disappointing with the not so jumbo serving but jumbo pricetag. i ordered linguini with fried chicken and sweet and spicy thai sauce. i thought the sauce was on the chicken but it was in the pasta instead. i didnt like sweet pasta and the chicken was too dry.


sat ate at waraku with my family. good japanese food that's worth the price! the tempura ice cream is very nice! worth a try...

sun was my actual birthday and i celebrated with ny. went vivocity where we tried earl's swensons. the main course we ordered included a salad bar buffet. it was good but we had to rush and ended up being late for our movie.

mon played badminton with sw and hb. our last game of the year and probably till hb comes back again in may. havent played for so long and my legs were so tired after that. we were supposed to meet hui for dinner at "raffles city bakerz'in" but after walking around the basement and first floor, me and ny couldnt find it. we checked the directory and it wasnt on the list. there was no bakerz'in at raffles city! we ended up eating at ding tai fung whuch i didnt mind cos i missed the xiao long bao. hee...we went bakerz'in for desserts but the whole process was very rushed. we were the last customers and had to leave within half hour. i tried the chocolate warm cake. it was very nice with warm chocolate flowing inside and vanilla ice cream on top. i preferred hui's waffles with cheese ice cream and strawberry sauce. very nice! i think the desserts are overpriced though. its even more expensive than our dinner. i still miss chocz chocolate cake.

tue went to have toast box breakfast with sw and mz. call us crazy but its still nice. hee...went to watch alvin and the chipmunks. we bought the tickets the night before from a different cinema and there's only the front 3 rows left. why so many people watching an old show?? didnt know that can buy tickets in advance and from different cinema too. me and ny went seperate ways from sw and hb after that. last minute decided to eat at marche and so coincidental that sw was outside marche too! haha...the rosti is so nice. think i havent ate at marche for a long time. but this pre-dinner 'snack' at 5pm was too filling. haha...

thanks to my friends for the company and presents!
