let down my hair it was a relaxing day and i decided to make full use of the lull period before the supplementary lessons start. V, H and i made a date to go out after school.  we went to arteastiq for tea and to catch up. it was V's second time there and H's first. the service wasn't up to standard, maybe because of all the new staff.            V and H tried the prata wrap. as they were famished, these didn't whet their appetite at all. so they had to order dessert to compensate for it.   i enjoyed my sandwich as usual and took my own sweet time nibbling it.   V indulged in a chocolate drink which was too sweet for her. don't you just love their presentation?   something new that i've never tried, their chocolate lava cake served with yuzu ice-cream.  it was fantastic! kind of like a really fudgy chocolate brownie with this molten chocolate oozing out.  H's lemongrass tea which she thought was something really special.   after arteastiq, we each went to run our own errands. V to get her braces, H to shop for R's bridal shower and i went to purchase some prizes for my students. i spent about two hours at the basement and exited with $300 less. of course, i did buy some things for myself.  i then met mum for dinner and brought her to tampopo, the one on the fourth floor, to try the wagyu beef udon. don't be confused! there are two tampopo outlets in takashimaya. the one on the fourth floor is more "a-tas" and the one at the basement is more of a family restaurant.     we ordered a sashimi salad to share and each ordered a bowl of wagyu beef udon.  i relished in the salad. the sauce was unique with a hint of sesame oil. mum did wish that there was a wider variety of sashimi.   the fantastic bowl of noodles. mum did like it but she said she wouldn't pay $23.80 for a bowl of noodles. oh well. we walked off dinner at the branded bag and shoe fair at the atrium. and ate some more! this time it was at the tampopo outlet at the basement. i read that their cakes are to die for, so we managed to make it before closing time.    my $300 buys.   mum's strawberry shortcake. soft sponge cake layered with slices of strawberry and rich cream. literally smells in your mouth.    their signature cream cheese chiffon cake. it was better than promised. so good that i gobbled it down though my stomach was filled to the brim. definitely not a cake for someone watching their calories. this is for serious satiation.
