Savour Bistro / NYDC / SMU dim sum

week 1.

so a week has passed since school commenced. and i do reckon it will be tough to start any readings. yeech.

but i must say i have done a lot for my social over the past week and this is quite a big deal considering how i was SO CLOSE to wining the coverted "SHE"- Summer Hermit Er-ward.

i lunched with wai at some remarkably un-french french bistro called savoir at far east square where we (ok fine i did the bitch work) maxed out over consumer rights by asking the manager ti take back some ordinary-looking hollow calamari when the menu specifically indicated 'stuffed calamari'. feeling unsatisfied, we then popped over nesrby for dessert when wai had oreo milkshake and i made my way through an apple crumble with hazelnut ice cream.

the next day wai crashed smu, not before getting her dose of a traditional 'kaya toast' breakfast. we had brunch at coffee and toast at city hall (which i like better than ya kun).

playing with our food. our mothers would be proud.

mid weeek, i naaned my way through an indian affair with sheryl- whom i have -gasp- known since kindergarden at maharajah curry house along boat quay (gimme pics sher!).

i even met up with secondary school friends-toon, mingxi, liqin, val and zenia.. some whom i have known since primary school and suddenly in a blink of an eye, we were all in university congregating over overpriced desserts at nydc. throughout the night, i realised that amongst the six of us, there was a future architect , doctor, accountant, lawyer, bio-somethingish and businesswoman (me actually). wouldn't it be interested to see what the six of us looked like a couple more years from now. can't hardly wait.

cookie monster mudpie & mango tango (mango ice cream with cheesecake)

i am sure a lot of you have had their desserts... don't the desserts just scream rip-off! first and last time! adieus.

i had breakfast in school last friday and i decided to try out a new eatery called pick and bite, that is situated at the lee ka shing library. i had kaya toast (white bread this time round) and teh o and the meal cost last then it would been in a typical kaya toast outlet. stamp of approval. but what amazed me was the artery-clogging array of dim sum available at 8am in the morning!

(L-R) kaya toast, deep fried soon kueh, shanghai pork bun,
chive dumplings, yam cake and pumpkin cake
and there are others not pictured too like a deep fried yam pastry, carrot cake
and plentiful of baos.

on friday after school, i went to look for yang for lunch and we dined at another cheat-secondary-school-kids (see nydc) sakae sushi.. which i think really made us look at sushi tei in a more reverent light. eck, you just cannot beat sushi tei when it comes the conveyor belt- style resturant. we ate more than we should have off the belt which was a badbad mistake since i was the emcee for st nick's teacher's day dinner at grand corpthorne waterfront.

it is amazing how someone would only call you when she needs help with something. yuck.

safe trip waiii!
