Dress me up!

Here are some random pictures of the past 2 weeks from my iPhone! So please pardon the quality of the images. The iPhone works best in good lighting.

Longines!













JP photoshoot! 
An experience I'll never forget! It definitely was fun to do a photoshoot and have all the limelight on you (hahaha!), and first time having to shoot with another male model! :/ But most importantly, the experience taken away from this was amazing. I really really love the hair and make up done by the talented make-up artist, Sherry! The way she does it especially to highlight my features and did up my (really difficult to style) fine crop of hair really does deserve compliments! I loved it so so much! :) Pictures of my hair below. She did two other styles but I love this and the picture taken with G - that's the last hairdo! 



















Dramatasy @ Nex Mall!
The much advertised event from Mediacorp Channel 8 and I was thrilled to be part of it. Got to see the celebrities too! My outfit was really really retro and I felt like I stepped out of the 80s, hee!






Been down with a cold for the past one week and boy it sucks. There's this lethal virus spreading around and I've already spread it to my mom and G :( With the crazy hot & cold weather, it's only gonna get worst. Take care everyone!
 

A for Antoniette

I was looking for a place that serves great afternoon tea, and after hearing all the rave reviews about Antoinette, I was intrigued to check it out. We chose to try the branch at Mandarin Gallery (there's another one at Lavender)! The interior was especially lavish and I really love how the whole place is done up. Exquisite and aristocratic - just the way I like it! The menu includes a small list of brunch options, followed by many other tantalising sounding desserts. Oooo wish I could try them all!!

What we ordered - Nougatine icecream with crepes filled with nutella and some chantilly at the sides! Sounds rich doesn't it? It certainly got a litte gelat even with two people sharing it, but it was delightful! Love this! It'll probably be better with more people sharing it.










Dish #2 is a brunch item. I can't remember the full name but essentially, it's scrambled eggs with ham and tomato sauce. Doesn't sound so tempting, but this is really really nice! If I'm not wrong it's the pricest item on the brunch list, but it's definitely good!

After our really late lunch / afternoon tea, we headed back to the East to celebrate Deborah's birthday. We wanted to check out some other cafe at Changi V but because of the rain, we settled for something at Ehub instead! Food was really meh..... but..... I guess better than bad!





















Happy birthday Deborah!! Hope you like our surprise and the present though it's not much! :)




Love this strawberry shortcake! Yanna recommended the bakery, Rive Gauche and the cakes are amazing! They come in various sizes as well so it'll cater to a smaller group/people who are having this right after a heavy dinner. The cake tasted so light and refreshing. A good way to end off the meal :)
    

The Coastal Settlement

Last Friday after my horrendous submission and terrible sleep debt, we went out to celebrate freedom at a quaint cafe in the corner of Changi! Well known for its chalets and army camps nearby, I was very surprise to hear of a Demspey look-alike cafe sprouting at the far end of Singapore. And since most of us are East siders, we decided to check it out - The Coast Settlement!

Hungry us got there half an hour late, so the rest had already ordered their food! 


I ordered this mushroom pasta. It had truffles, cheese and lots of mushroom in it. Loved this dish, except that nearing the end it got a little gelat! Otherwise, two thumbs up.


G ordered the roast chicken that came with truffle fries. If you are a fan of truffle fries, do go there to try it! It's really good! Now I'm on the hunt for good truffle fries and next up I hope to try PS cafe's!

The following pictures are from Deborah's (hee!). More pictures of food to show you what they ordered! First up - Prawn Aglio Olio which I heard was so-so, otherwise I'd pick this! Love aglio olio!


Bacon & Egg burger - which wasn't too bad


Rosti - I heard it's good!


More appetisers - Wagyu beef cubes and calamari with a unique passionfruit mayonnaise sauce. Really like how it tasted. These two appetisers were quite good I think! Didn't get to try the Wagyu.
And to dessert... Bread and butter pudding! :) Favourite dessert for the girls. We wanted to try the salted (?) caramel cheesecake but next time I guess! We requested for more vanilla sauce and they very kindly accommodated us. Made it taste so much nicer.





The girls! 




The guys... budding photographers because they kept playing with our camera.






Random decoration around the place. It definitely gives the cafe a unique edge above the rest with their comprehensive decorations and displays! Look at the other pictures and you'll get what I mean!








The outdoors!
























We loved the decor of this cafe and even though some of the food are misses, the hits were good enough to give this cafe a shot! Though it's really obscure, it means lesser crowds and more chill-out sessions. The range of desserts and alcohol looks really good and worth a try. The prices are a little on the higher side and very much comparable to Dempsey! It really feels like a mini Dempsey in Changi, heehee! Don't sit outdoors though! While we were snapping pictures outdoors, the mozzies came to attack! 
Yay to exploring new food places with the best company, and more to come!
