Happenings in April - Swensens + The Soup Spoon + Let’s Sweets

Thursday 7/4/11

Tomorrow is Chan’s birthday, we helped to celebrate his birthday in advance. During lunch time, our department went out to Holland Village and the 16 of us squeezed into 3 cars. One thing bad about dining at Holland V is that it is hard to find parking lot during the peak hour, took us quite some time to find one.

And we are back to Swensens again.

Swensens @ Holland Village is actually 2 storeys high. We were now at the second storey which could accommodate groups with large number of people.

Fish & Chips – golden fried fish fillet, served with tartar sauce, fries and coleslaw. Ordering the same food despite having it last time round. Boring I know. Lol.

Shortly after that, desserts were being served.

Firehouse Happy Birthday ice-cream for Chan.

My Frosted Chocolate Malt – frosted chocolate malt ice cream with marshmallow topping, hot fudge and chocolate balls.

Back to work with a bloating stomach. There was another eating session waiting for me tonight, please let me digest fast!

Since I had 2 hours just now, so I self-OT, work another additional hour. After that, rush to Vivo to meet Chan Lin and Siting. A pity Maggie couldn’t join us because she has to OT. Dine at the Soup Spoon:

I had my Boston Clam Chowder, it was super thick. I love the chunky clams mixed with the celery greens and potatoes.

I don’t really fancy the sandwiches so I ordered Garlicky Herbed Foccacia.
 This is actually my first time meeting Siting out, we had a fun time gossiping away ♥

We were incredibly full after the dinner, shall take a walk to ease digestion.

Siting and Chan Lin.

Me and Siting.

Strolling at Sentosa Broadwalk.

I felt alive again, this week had been a busy and boring week for me, work and work!

Next time I know my way on how to walk to Sentosa already.

Guess what?

I had my second round of ice-cream @ venezia gelato italiano. Thanks Chan Lin for the treat (:

My bottomless pit stomach had reached its limit. Argh, I felt so sinful.. haha…

After our long talk, it’s time to bid goodbye to catch the last train home. Though only had the 3 of us today, I enjoyed this mini gathering ♥

Thursday 14/4/11

Finally meeting up with buds again. It’s been quite some times since I last saw them, I missed them so much!! Met up at Bugis after our work. We were pondering over what to eat while waiting for Rachel. Torn between steamboat or jap food. We chose the Japanese Buffet & Sweets as Siying was attracted by the dessert!!!

One thing about this restaurant was that each buffet session is only 70 minutes and there were stopwatches placed at every table. Lol. So our strategy was to eat first and save the talking to the last.

Let’s Sweets is actually a combination of western and Japanese delicacies – western main course and Japanese dessert.

Pizza and pasta.

What’s special about the dessert:

I had blue jelly, strawberry Mousse, strawberry tart and cheese cake ♥
Desserts is soon becoming a necessity after my meal now.
  Wide spread of food – more choices of pasta and pizza awaiting. Stopped eating after that even though I would love to go for more. Gotta watch my diet as I don’t want my size to expand any further.
   Seems like the rest was full also. So we chit-chat till the end of the buffet session.

So that’s the stopwatch I was talking about earlier on. The first time we eat till so “gang kor” - racing with the time.

Lets keep our friendship going ♥

So activities after dinner. Of course is shopping, in one way, it helped in digestion too. I need more clothes but couldn’t find something that I like.

YH was complaining that she felt tired. This was super unusual! Someone who loves to drink shouldn’t be one that get tired so early. Lol, actually is shopping made her tired. If you asked her for a drink, she will be wide awake now =)
