Imperial Treasure Peking Duck // Samy's Curry @ Dempsey

Hello!!
On the eve of labour day, J and I had dinner with a group of friends at Paragon's Imperial Treasure Peking Duck. The duck is really so awesome.. but before I get to that..
Because corkage is free of charge, they brought all these wine during dinner, and yep. WE FINISHED ALL 8 BOTTLES !!
This is bringing drinking to a new high man. 
 Anyway, lucky me was down with a fever and was on antibiotics, so I was excused from excessive drinking. Also because J drank a few glasses on my behalf <3

We had pretty good food. Drunken prawns were really fresh. Pics no edit!!!!

And the peking duck! We had 2 of it.. it was delicious... You gotta pre order a day in advance if you wanna have it though!! DON'T SAY I NEVER SHARE! Later you go there and order on the day itself you won't be able to have it!!

Instead of the usual egg crepe wrap, this was a chinese version of tortilla haha. I love tortilla so I really like this, I ate 3 of it omg. I usually don't allow myself to get a 3rd helping because the 3rd is just plain greediness!! It's so yummy!! And there was so much duck left , so I "offered" my services and "sacrificed" myself to eat it .. HAHAHHA. 

But I really shouldn't have eaten it the 3rd time cos I was starved to the brim in the end. It's like I'm full already but i still want to eat. 
I think greediness is a trait I really despise. It's the lack of self discipline and control that irks me. Like... if you have no self control, how different are you from an animal?  What differentiates human beings and animals is the thin line that we have self control and are logical right? Ok I'm sorry.. I digressed. I don't mean greedy people are animals ok.. I'm just saying I think greediness in general is really very flawed. Food wise, it's very mild. But money, lust, fame.. it is an addiction that snowballs, and gets out of hand. It leads to nowhere but a  downward spiral. 

Lol abrupt jump back to the dishes for the night. We had the 3 egg veggie. I always have this every time I have chinese food outside with my family. It's so nice!! 


My 3rd piece of peking duck i was whining about T_T

 They chop up the remaining duck and fry it with the fried rice. The fried rice when eaten with their signature chilli is just sooo good. I love chilli.

We also had two other plates of cod fish prepared in different ways. 
Overall, got duck, got prawn, got fish la. But I paid $100 for the meal ( or a random dinner )  and to me it's just so ouch. T_T

 We went to Butter after ( needless to say) and my dear boy who shielded me from drinks ended up being not sober at all. So I stayed over and took care of him hehehe. 

Labour Day
We brought Tammy out to play today.She was so well behaved. Josh says it is necessary that we bring her out if not she will start believing that she is human. Lol. My friend also told me dogs always think that they are humans? Lol.. seriously?


On our way there with Josiah ( J's brother ) and his girlfriend, Tessa. Haha. Just look at his intense face. So... intense. He was playing his newly bought digimon toy and battling with his girlfriend. Haha. Sometimes it's really nice to be kids again don't you think?

Mad hair on the car because we scrolled down the windows to let Tammy enjoy the breeze haha but she has hiding most of the time because she is afraid of car rides. She is afraid of so many things!!

We went to AMK park / bishan park because there's a place for dogs to run about and it's fenced up so your dogs won't go missing! There were so many cute dogs there.. makes me want one too.




These huskies were so pretty

And Tammy trying her best to mingle around haha


He is so cute. Melts my heart every time.






 Whee the husky came over to make friends


After which, we went home to clean Tammy up and he managed to psycho his family to have Samy's Curry for dinner because I've been saying I want to eat it for the past two weeks already hehehe. 
I am currently on a hunt for the best briyani. It is awesome!

The papadum here is so yummy i think i had 4 haha. It's free flow!! I love papadum! 
 J and his brothers can't take spiciness at all. It's so epic because they were all like red lips and perspiring already, when it wasn't even spicy AT ALL to me. We had so much to eat. 
The fried fish was really good. I thought the briyani rice wash meh though. It could have been more flavourful. I think the rice is free flow too ley lol. Can really eat until you vomit here. 
Had a really satisfying meal with great company :)

Labour day was really simple and sweet. I think I'm really getting old because I appreciate gatherings and doing simple things so much more than a crazy night out and ending drunk.
I'm really old now. 
I'm only 22.. is it too young to feel this way?

Work dinners// Sauce // Neverland // L'atelier !

Things I've been eating around the East side.
This will always be my favourite order at Sushi Tei!! King prawns with mango maki.
Every time i look at this picture i will feel like i havent eaten for days. Damn hungry
 Tried this for the first time too... it's fried crabstick mentai maki. Anything with mentai is the shit
Feifei wanton noodle which sucked. 

Roxy square for Qiurong ban mian, which also sucked . What's all the hype about these...


Another day. We had supper at Fatboys after World War Z. The movie is damn gross and scary, but the story line was great (: 


 Bitching with my bff Sijia that day ahaha. Remember how I always say we are telepathic, or we finish each other's sentences. This is proof. I was telling her about something ridiculous and i was like " HELL NO" and she was like " no way" and we both said " SIAO" together hahahah.... then "LOL" she finally had to say " stop it ah"


So that was how I spend my days. 
Now more on how i have been spending my nights..
I've been hanging out quite regularly with these two friends at Neverland haha 
 I was damn sad that day she drew this to make me laugh haha love u 
 mandatory mirror shot of ootd. Favourite skort i bought at bkk. Please help me buy more colours i love skorts.
 mandatory mirror shot ootd2 bcos i like the tshirt
 She is the only person that can quarrel with me and make me cry and totally act normal with after 1 minute lol. Our friendship is hard to understand
 Family dinners

 Best har cheong gai ever!!! I don't even eat skin. Be it mcwings or KFC but i ate the entire chickadee. it's so gooood!
 Went mad and chopped of my fringe. This entire hair chopping spree has really got to stop.
 New hair means more camwhoring pictures right ( I know you saw that coming haha )

 How do you like my new hair? Or my previous side fringe is nicer? 
 Favourite couple..
 Another weekend night consisting of us drinking at Sauce... I was gone as usual..
 Brought my friend for some shopping. Really like this pic cos i look like a (self proclaimed ) 千金.
HAHAHAHAHA
 And then we went for dinner at L'atelier de joel robochon.
It's a one in a life time experience right.
COMPLIMENTARY BREAD WAS SO GOOD.
Just want to grab them and put it in my bag hahahah kidding.
When you're inside you just feel like you're at Hell's kitchen. Open concept kitchen. And the server will bring out the live lobster and stuff for you to see before u make your order. There was also this foe gras pie he recommended but ney. 
I was like " omg I'm damn hungry!"
And the server was telling my friend " hurry order, Allie is hungry!" I was like.. wah. Because i made the reservation under Allie, they actually bothered knowing the names of their customer. Service 10 stars.. 
**_**
 I think they call this the amuse bouche . It is a foie gras custard with parmesan foam.
Omg the parmesan foam is damn shiok but when i reach the foie gras custard i couldn't help but gag and gave the rest to my friend hahaha... I told u I can't appreciate expensive food right. 
But if i like foie gras i wld have liked this. 
 And they were kind enough to give us complimentary appetizers!! YAY!
Only we had it so happy. * happy dance* 
Salmon with potato. yummers.
 Friend had the asparagus with some maki thing. which had really strong coriander taste which i didnt like :/ 
 Then we had pasta for main.
It is damn good! It's with tomato, clams and roe. Omg.. Every bite of the tomatoes was bursting with the fragrance of olive oil. This is my favourite clams ever. It doesn't even have a slight tinge of fishy smell in it. I don't even eat clams usually.
 The mains come with a side of mashed potato which the waiter guarantees it will be the best mashed potato i have ever tasted, if not i can throw it back into the kitchen. Hahaha.
I thought the mashed potato was too overwhelming omg... like damn rich but it was soo smooth i felt like i was eating mousse instead. But nice nonetheless. I had pan fried cod ( because for reasons mentioned above about my pickiness for food ) This was super meh and I don't think it's worth the 50 bucks at all................................... But the cod was really fresh. #justifyingtheprice
 Here comes the show!!!Lobster for my friend!! It was really damn good. They cooked this teppanyaki style. It was awesomeeeee. Like the meat is damn thick and juicy fwoah explosion in the mouth.
 Went over to level 33 for a beer and to chill over nice scenery.
Singapore is realy super pretty at night. 
Thank you for your time (:
