Nara Thai

Hello (:

A week ago we had lunch together at Nara Thai and it was a pleasant experience. Apart from having their mixed platter, chicken pad thai and mango salad, which are all featured above, we also had their green seafood curry, which was my favourite dish that day (:

One thing I like about Thai food is that the dishes are always packed with flavours - mostly sweet and spicy. And what I love most is that they always serve coconut juice, which is fast becoming my favourite thirst quencher and cooler when I want something that isn't fizzy.

All in all, we had a good time there together and I'm thankful that we can always count on each other to be around, whether for grub or for other things (:

Have a good weekend everyone!

An exceptionally long and sombre week. Some comfort food definitely helps (: We will all be okay, and we will continue to be better (:

Shelter in the Woods

Hello!

Life has been pretty busy hence the lack of updates but I think things have more or less been settled so I shall get back to updating this space on a more regular basis (:

Before the March break, I went to Shelter in the Woods with my very good friend cos he had a good experience the first time he went. Unfortunately, I think we ordered the dishes that weren't too outstanding when we visited this restaurant together, hence the experience was a little average. Having said that though, we loved the desserts and we wouldn't mind having more of them (:

Here are some photos of the dishes that we had! You can view their menu at this link!

Alright that's all for now (: Have a great weekend everyone! (:

Dessert Table at My Sister's Wedding Reception

Hello! (:

My sister got married yesterday and we're all happy for her! (: Each of us were deployed to do various tasks for her wedding and I was in the desserts table team, along with another trusty bub. My sister didn't want to only have desserts from a particular vendor so what she did was to order a variety of desserts from various vendors and The Desserts Table Team had to place the items in a visually-appealing manner (: Overall, I think it was a success as her guests were very impressed by the range of food and the overall presentation! Whee (:

 

Alright today shall be rest and recuperate day so we shan't push ourselves too hard. Had a tiring but fulfilling day yesterday! Congratulations once again, Nette! (:

Nam Nam

Hello (:

I've been to Nam Nam quite a few times but I've never tried their desserts till last week and I'm thoroughly pleased with what I had. My sister and I were famished when we arrived at Nam Nam so we ordered a bowl of pho each and two other dishes - fried spring rolls for sides and banana fritters for dessert - and everything was great! (: I suspect we managed to finish all the bananas because we were starving but otherwise, I would think it's a feat to finish eating 3 chunky bananas after eating a full meal!

Shall post photos of what we had:

It's Friday tomorrow! Whoopeedoo! (:

Ootoya

Hello (:

I must say that the roads seem a lot clearer this CNY and the malls are also surprisingly less crowded! I would have thought that normalcy would have resumed today because it's the weekend before yet another work week but I guess I was wrong. Not only did we manage to dodge the usual queue to the carpark at Clementi Mall, we also got a table at Ootoya relatively quickly and managed to treat ourselves to a sumptuous Japanese meal! (:

We all agreed that the quality of food at Ootoya is above average and we felt full after having one of their sets (which comes with rice, miso soup, a small cup of chawanmushi and some pickles) each. Pictured below are the mains that we had:

Initially, I was a tad worried that the waitress would think that we wanted ala carte dishes because she didn't ask if we wanted to upgrade our dishes to sets but I noticed that most people had sets placed on their tables so I guess having a set meal is the default option and if you don't wish to have a set, then the onus is on you to inform the waitress/ waiter of your preference.

After dinner, we went to NTUC to get groceries for the week ahead and also bought breakfast for tomorrow (: It feels nice being able to do all these together. If all goes well, we might choose to make this a routine in future - we shall see! (:

Alright have a good night's rest! Enjoy Sunday! (:

Donna Carmela

This weekend has been both good and bad - we managed to spend some time together and catch up with each other but we also had to spend many hours doing rituals. I am thankful for the people who have been around the past few days, and grateful for all the laughter and conversations we have had.

One of my favourite comfort foods, Risotto. 

Thank you, Ah Ma (:
