my yearly denial ritual

so it seems i've just turned 39 as per my candle count :)

this year, the girls and i decided to try out catalunya... spanish tapas in a wonderful restaurant with a great view of the marina, lots of very cute servers with a great attitude. this restaurant has got to be Singapore's hidden gem. food was good (the lobster rice was da bomb), service was great from cute guys, great view... what else is needed really?

our pre-dinner drinks

the food...

molecular gastronomy at play.... spheres of olive jus in olive oil, imitating to be olives... very cool idea and unexpected

tomato tartare with truffle oil and foam

a pricey version of grilled cheese - parma ham and cheese, truffle toast

their famous roast pork that melts in your mouth....

chorizo, eggs, potatoes

 

highlight of the night.... lobster rice!!!

dessert apart from the cakes was smoked milk ice cream with french toasted broche

all thanks to my girlies for a clutch i've been looking for.... a gorgeous dragonfly alexander wang oversized panties!

 

L'Abattoir de Plastique

a long overdue post...
the highlight of my christmas gift came in this box

and what was in it...

all these great bangles were handmade from a 3D printing machine... and i've seen the wonders of it with my own eyes :)

just touching it, i always thought it would be too fragile for me to wear it everyday, as everyone knows im not the most caring person. but i'm so glad it's able to withstand everyday use.

jo's actively updated his site and given that i love his packaging and range of colours... i do hope it'll take off internationally soon :)
