What’s a girl to do on Labour Day in good ol’ Singapore? Indulge in a fantastic movie and savour some food, of course.
The buddy and I started the day with lunch at my favourite cafe.
We then proceeded for my second viewing of the Avengers, which was just as entertaining, and now I feel as though I need to watch it at least once a week. I AM NOT KIDDING.
Dinner at Equinox was not bad, but not inspiring. Thankfully, we had a great view of the Singapore skyline to distract our tastebuds.
Some unexciting bread to kick things off:
Amuse bouche was some tomato thingy. The buddy will know what it’s called.
My Lobster Bisque with Fennel, Dill and Linguine Ribbons:
Grilled White Asparagus with Mousseline and Crushed Hazelnuts:
Pork Tenderloin with White Asparagus, Spring Onion Tart and Sage Butter Sauce:
Because there’s always room for dessert, the buddy ordered Pineapple Carpaccio with Lime, Chilli Syrup and Coconut Sorbet:
I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Mousse with Caramelised Apple Jelly and Sweet Brioche.
So we all know I’m turning 30 this year. Guess who’s still a woman-child who delights in toys?
No. Not THAT kind. Get your dirty mind out of the gutter!
But seriously, I found more pleasure shopping at Toys R Us today, rather than at the department store. In my defense, none of the clothes were “speaking” to me. Some stood out, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy yet another so-so top (though I wouldn’t mind updating my wardrobe). And the shoes all looked one and the same. Shocking? I know!
Anyway, after a lovely wander around Toys R Us with an old chum and her highly adorable and hilarious kids, I walked away with this:
That’s $113 worth of toys. Only possible because I earn my own keep now. Heh.
