Chicken at The Rotisserie

Thursday lunch was chicken at The Rotisserie with Jamie. I had a quarter roasted chicken meal while Jamie settled for a chicken schinitzel meal. Juicy, succulent, tender...if only we were allowed to have one hot side dish & one cold side dish, that would have been perfect! ;)

Merry Luncheon at Zafferano :)

BOTM annual Christmas luncheon is one event I look forward to every year. :) This year's luncheon is at Zafferano, a contemporary Italian restaurant. They put us in a wine room, which is very fitting for this group of loud traders & bankers. Because it's a luncheon, we were disciplined in our wine intake! (wink wink) :)
 
I'm not a bready person but these breads were just too good...I cleared half a tray on my own???
 
Antipasti from the Buffet
 
Lin & I shared Homemade Tagliatelle Bolognese with Beef Ragu and Parmesan Shaving
 
and Risotto with Seafood & Vegetables
 
Lemon Tart outshines everything on the dessert plates!!! :D
 
It started to pour towards the end of our lunch. While the rest return to their Bloombergs, Ann, Lin & I stayed back a little to chill. It has been a hectic week for us... :) Bliss...It's beginning to feel like Christmas...:)

Catch Up!

December is THE month for catching up! It's also a time we try out new places. :D We ventured into Boon Tat Street and checked out Vanilla Bar and Cafe, a tiny but pretty place with Lin's ex-colleagues, Cecilia & June. :)
 
A not so hungry Cecilia chose Smoked Salmon, Rocket & Tomato Salad. A starving June finished her Teriyaki Chicken Don before I could snap anything. :)))
 
Lin's choice of Pesto Cream Pasta with Chicken was a little heavy for my liking.
 
I often order an item and wonder why I ordered it in the first place. Thank goodness the Parmesan Prawn Linguine did not disappoint. :)
 
4 ladies & 2 desserts: a mean Molten Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream &
 
Mini Pancakes with Vanilla Ice Cream & Maple Syrup. They are nothing fanciful but they are gooood and we could't stop popping them in our mouths. *.*
 
We finished our meal with Coffee & Ice Tea. :) We're re-energized & ready to go! :D

Christmas Classic at TG & Joanna's

This is not Harrods. This is not Macy. It's TG & Joanna's lovely nest and their amazing nutcrackers collection! I'm so blown away by them. I've been wishing for just one nutcracker for two years now but it's still a wish. Lin told me nobody will ever know I wanna a nutcracker when I never tell anybody about it. The thing is, if I've said it, then where is the surprise & where is the thrill??? *.*
 
Nothing beats home cooked Christmas meal. It's a little fusion here with turkey, ham, chicken rice, curry chicken, fried chicken wings, roasted pork belly, roasted veg, curry veg etc etc. :) Anything goes here in Singapore! We have Christmas here with sun and rain instead of snow & chill.
 
And of course we had plenty of sweets!
 
A Christmas Classic centrepiece by Blume Link, especially for Joanna & TG. :)
 
The greatest Christmas gift of all was never placed beneath a tree. He lay within the manger for the entire world to see. Blessed Christmas one & all! :)

Babies, It's Lunch at Nam Nam Noodle Bar

There's finally a Vietnamese restaurant smacked right in the heart of Orchard Road.
 
We checked this casual restaurant Nam Nam Noodle Bar out with Selin, Tricia and their babies. :)
 
I'm liking the little details...:) and I like the menu! There's Banh Mi! Hoa got us hooked on these mean baguettes with awesome stuffing while we were in Ho Chi Minh.
 
The 5 spices pork belly & pork pate Banh Mi were delectable :D The combi fused together beautifully. We gave a thumbs up for the spring roll and peanut sauce too. :)
 
Pho is kind of a "staple" for us? Somehow when you enter a Vietnamese restaurant, Pho is like a no brainer choice. Beef or chicken? Doesn't matter. Both were fabulous. Le Le was a big fan of the flavourful broth.
 
There're alot more types of noodles Vietnam has to offer than just Pho. Lin and I also shared  a bowl of egg noodles with crackers which turned out to be like mee pok. :))) It came with shrimps and fish cakes too. The serving was a biggie.
 
Drink & regret... Vietnamese ice coffee...it's good but I suffered thereafter...I can't take coffee as it makes me nausea... *.* But I finished the whole cup nonetheless. :(
 
The ice tea's Tricia's.
 
We were not blown away by the dessert...I wish they had coconut ice cream on the menu...

Michael Kors Bed

The sudden downpour in the afternoon makes a perfect napping session for us. :) I woke up to find Koka dozing in my tote...
