Strike Gold! :D

We striked GOLD!!! :))) My frangipani tree is blooming again!
 
We were about to give up on this tree of mine. It wasn't flowering and was plagued with disease...Mom threatened to throw it away and even used a knife to hit the trunk. She finally resorted to adding Epsom salt and it worked like magic! Hahahhahaha....
 

Gory Gory Lunch *.*

Lin brought me to her office for Halloween lunch today. :) I've never gone for a gory feast...oooooooo....

Lin didn't want to be too over in her dress up. So I helped her create a spider & cobweb headpiece. And she finished off her look with a pumpkin handbag! :)))

We like Russell from UP! Who doesn't??? :D And Maggi in Donald Duck cape. Lol! :)
 
Oh and this preggy was goriness at its best. The foetus' arms were out of the womb and carrying a pumpkin. Eeeeekkkkk... *.*
 
Ted was here too. Yup all the way from Hollywood. :)
 
The kitchen's brewing...
 
Grilled Aged Beef with Decomposed Wild Rice
Steamed Fish with Parasite
Foie Gra Brain 
Cavatppi Worms Pasta in Herb Tomato Sauce
Witches Brew
Seafood Eyes with Squid Ink and Egg White
Stuffed Pumpkin with Roasted Vegetables
 
I kinda lost my appetite....
 
I took what I thought was pretty safe to eat...lol :)))
 
I think I love the desserts best. :)
 
The weather played along with the Halloween theme. It's been pouring since 11am. :) So that's my Wednesday Halloween lunch....oooooo...

Unwind at TWG with Mitsue-Chan

We unwind at TWG today. :) The wagyu burger which I craved for was sold out. :( So we settled for chicken beignets which were out of our imagination. We were expecting them to look like those at Brenda's Soul Food. *.* Pretty good nonetheless.
 
Scones, cream & gelee are a must order at TWG. :D
 
The day was too hot & humid to have any hot tea. Dulcet Rose for me & some really weird ice tea for Lin.

Lin's Korean colleague bought us some Cocohodo Walnut Pastry from Seoul. :) This cute little thing is filled with red bean paste & walnut bits. Woohoo...

Domani Day!

3 weeks flew past and SW is recovering from her brain surgery. Praise God for His mercy and grace. :) We brought SW to Domani as she craved for fish & chips. :D
 
It's Domani Day and we get to enjoy 25% off our meals! Brilliant. :)
 
SW never fails to amaze me with her superb appetite. Besides, fish & chips, she had veg lasangna. *.*
 
Alio olio with shrimps for moi & crabmeat with shrimps in tomato sauce linguine for Lin. :)
 
Dessert for us was a slice of Guanaja. :) And we finished our meal with chilled ice lemon tea. :)

Thank God for holding up the weather and giving us a perfect day for cycling. :) We needed extra effort to cycle as it was very windy. It's riding against resistance. Oooooooo...
