What I did at Singapore
Foodwise:
- Dinner at Din Tai Fung - absolutely fabulous Xiao Long Pau
- Lunch at Crystal Jade - love the Char Siew Pau
- Dinner at this seafood place famous for it’s chilli crabs near the Merlion - for me, the ‘Porky and Bessie’, which is fried pork marinated with some chilli, garlic and dark soya sauce and served with steamed mantao, is hands-down the best dish we tried that night
- Desserts at NYDC - we had the Cookie Monster but I still find the Muddy Mud Pie at Coffee Club the best!
- Lunch at Marmalade Pantry - Crab Caesar and Sticky Date Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream that’s literally to-die-for!
- Dinner at some spaghetti place at Paragon - Pretty good Crayfish Spaghetti Aglio Olio (the bruschetta sucked, though!)
- Lunch at the 1st class lounge at Changi *eyes open big-big like some super jakun person* - free Evian, Haagen Daz, Ben & Jerry, liquor, and food food food!
- And of course, peanut pancake at Jollibean!
Shoppingwise:
- Went to Takashimaya, Wisma Atria, Wheelock Place, DFS Galleria, Lucky Plaza, Paragon, Heeren, Funan.
- Bought a Dior Romantique Trotter bag in pink! (separate post with photos later)
- Found a bead-shop at Heeren that had me swooning - bought a crimping plier, bead board and bead reamers. Wanted to buy more, but no $$ and no space in the luggage. Will definitely be spending an entire day there the next time I’m at Singapore!
- And hubby bought an Xbox 360. Hah.
Others:
- Watched World Trade Centre - review later, but in two words: It sucked.
Am broke, tired, grumpy and not particularly looking forward to going to work tomorrow.
And no, I’m not telling the real reason why we were in Singapore. And no, none of the above were the real reason why we were in Singapore. Those were…urm…side-effects…

Hehe…sorry lar, you know my weakness for all things sweet and pink. And yeah, I remembered you mentioned the bead shop at Heeren, that’s why I went there searching for it! It’s seriously bead heaven…it’s a pity there aren’t any shops like that in KL! Hmm…franchise opportunity?!? *grin*
And no, didn’t buy any clothes. How to when I blew everything on the bag?!?
And yeah, WTC sucked…in my opinion lar.
