FIONA , THE RESIDENT GOURMET
---
Alrite. Today i had my fair share of life's opulent idulgences. Actually opulent would be too mild a word to describe what i had today... A phrase like "Opulent , lavish , gastronomic and a downright waste of money" would be a more appropiate description.
Actually it wasnt a waste of money , considerin the sumptuous fare we had.
Firstly , i met up with Jerel at Orchard mrt where he said he had a surprise for me. Surprise my foot !
We walked around town area for abt half an hr looking for the place where the so called 'surprise' was to be found , to no avail so hailed a cab.
To a place called Maison de Fontaine .
Okay , i was rather impressed by that colonial looking place and thats when Jerel let the cat outta the bag , that he had planned lunch at this place.
Thats Jerel for you , his idea of a 'surprise' is rather appalling.
Anyway , his efforts appreciated. Not gonna bore ya with details of that lunch date :) . Went to my grandma's place after that.
i went to orchard again to meet Han , where we had dinner at NYDC cafe. I ordered a slice of Booboo , which was PURE HEAVEN. Melt in your mouth chocolate mousse that was SINFULLY RICH AND CHOCOLATEY. Damn !! I could eat that everyday and not get sick of it.
A blackout affecting almost the entire island occured when i was on a bus on my way home from town and i was totally emabarrsed by the passengers who behaved like a gaggle of geese , pressing their oily faces against the windows whenever we passed through places lit up only by the soft glow of the affected residents' candles , and all the loud Oohs and Ahhhs from them made me feel like i'm in some kinda exhibition with the scene outside as its exhibits. It felt rather surreal and i was reminded of the game , Silent Hill , and i can tell you that the deja vu was not a pleasant one since Silent Hill scared the shit out of me . Thanks to Melvin for that silent hill experience.
