xin wang, midnight in paris, spaggedies sis and i went out for an outing during the weekend. it started off with a mid-budget lunch at xin wang cafe at ion. that place has to have one of the worst service in singapore ever. they kept us waiting in line even when there were empty tables and the waiters blatantly ignored patrons who were trying to get their attention.     anyway, in spite of their really horrid service, they serve a mean fried rice, with loads of egg and chye poh. interesting and yummy!   my porridge was made good with the huge amount of salted egg i added. after eating, we shopped around ion before heading to our movie at cineleisure. it's definitely one of my favourite movies this year. midnight in paris, directed by woody allen.  it's a star-studded cast, with owen wilson, rachel mcadams, adrien brody and even the french first lady, carla bruni! you have to know your historical references to enjoy the movie, so you might want to do some reading up on historical figures like scott fitzgerald and ernest hemingway if you do not know who they are. we were walking around takashimaya while waiting for our parents and we decided to try the milk tea at this new shop which took over auntie anne's.    yes, it's called sapporo petit doughnut and no, we didn't buy any doughnuts. the milk tea was extremely thick and creamy.  mum went to collect her free american tourista luggage before dinner at spageddies. it's an old-time favourite of my family. kind of nostalgic just to be back there eating our favourite courses.           what a way to end the day with a good meal ;) Labels: family, food, movies, shopping Wednesday, October 12, 2011 @ 18:12
movie trailer "already famous" my cousin told me about this movie. it's michelle's chong's first movie. opening in november. i'm so excited about it. she's such a natural. think something other than letticia bongnino and barbarella. this would be just another role to make her "already famous".

lots of good stuff enjoying whatever temporary reprieve i can get from teaching, until the end-of-year exams when the whole lot of marking comes in and drowns me. so this is what i did during the weekend. 1. watched johnny english reborn @ gvmax it was just another movie about a bumbling fool, whose ineffectual competency eventually ends up in him solving the big case.  2. dinner @ shabuya we had dinner at this place which my mum had been talking about. it's actually a restaurant split into two, one side is a grill and the other, steamboat. we chose the steamboat section.   we had two types of soup as well. shoyu for the vegetables and chicken broth for the meat, not that the waiters actually explained.       we had the shabu-shabu set for four, which was good even for six. it took forever for the five of us to finish all the meat.   salad had almost non-existent dressing.  parents enjoyed the sashimi.   two plates of each type of meat.  fish paste wasn't memorable.     this was what i found really delicious. the ice-cream mochi was extremely refreshing after consuming so much meat without any water to wash the taste off.    oh ya, before i end off about the restaurant, the restaurant does not serve water, iced or hot. what a downer.  you see that big bag? i bought lots and lots of things from diaso! and here are my spoils.  3. dessert @ igloo matthew treated us dessert at igloo. i think this place will not survive for long. not only have they lessened their variety of toppings, now they do not even let you take your own toppings, which was the draw of igloo in the first place. this totally goes against their promotional effort of 'buy 2 get 1 free'.      4. the great disappearing act when we got home, we found the hamster cage opened! brown lump escaped! we tried finding her, turning things upside down, opening cupboard doors, but we just couldn't find her! then dad got lucky again and found her in the kitchen.  after her great disappearing act, we placed her back into her cage and she started stuffing her cheeks full of food, hoping to be able to make a second attempt. epic fail. but so cute!   i uploaded the video of her with big cheeks, but i'm not sure if it's successful since i've never managed to upload one. enjoy!
