I used to think that my greatest hobby in life was shopping but judging by majority of my recent entries, I think my favorite hobby now would be stuffing my face. So I'll let the pictures do the talking.
X and I went to check out Applebee's, which is actually a diner-style type of place in the US. The Applebee's here though, is alot more 'atas' and for the clueless, it's located at the new TripleOne Building behind 313Somerset.

I was slightly disappointed by the servings as I had expected bigger American appetite portions. We ordered the buffalo wings, soup of the day (mushroom), and the fettuccine to share but I was let down by the rather tasteless fettuccine. On the good side, the fettuccine came with 10 nicely grilled shrimps and their soup though a little watery in the consistency, had a nice flavor to it. The buffalo wings were good as well - the honey BBQ sauce hit the right notes without being too sweet for me.

My apologies for not having any pictures to show for all this cuz I was too eager to dig into the food. However I did take a photo of our dessert:

The Maple Butter Blondie.


The dessert was yummy! I still had room for the dessert despite the fact that I was stuffed from the appetiser and the main. The only gripe I had was the slightly hard brownie which took abit of effort to cut. Otherwise this was delicious^^

I also met up with Liping 2 weeks back for a buffet lunch @ Marina Mandarin. The buffet spread was pretty scrumptious though I didn't really eat alot that day. FYI: the buffet is 1-for-1 for UOB cardholders so it comes up to only $22 per pax for a buffet with fresh oysters the size of my palm, and really BIG prawns. Good deal, esp. for oyster-lovers.

I don't really know most of her co-workers cuz this was her company's 'bonding lunch', but it was still fun to eat, drink and chit-chat, esp with Liping cuz she's been so busy with her business that we rarely meet as often as we would like. Anyway, I wish her good luck to her tuition centre business! It's not easy being an entrepreneur & I applaud her guts for abandoning her job at a bank & going for her dreams.

Last but not least, I have to have my weekly fix at TeaDot.

For the record, I've always been a coffee person for the longest time. I never fancied tea nor did I care for it but after a couple of trips to TeaDot with Liping (cuz this friend of mine doesn't drink coffee), I'm a tea convert cuz I discovered the Perfect Match Tea Latte (above). It tastes like milk tea infused with a hint of strawberry and whipped cream and the creamy combination is really good. So X & I will always go to TeaDot at least once every week now just to chill and enjoy the tea. I know it sounds boring but I just love that feeling of being with someone and not having to do anything and yet its just so comfortable. I almost feel...content and it's a good feeling.

We also have a little trip planned next month. I'm SOOoooO looking forward to it & I'm just praying that nothing happens to screw with our plans. *fingers crossed*
