Pictures Overload: Oriole Cafe & Bar; Sky on 57 :)

A few weeks back, it was time to celebrate the special day of one of my angels :)
We hope you love our little gift, cause we seriously think you are in need of a new wallet haha!

It was a tough one to find a cafe that operates on a monday, but glad I found one! Reviews were not bad however, it was mediocre in my opinion! The company definitely compliments over the mediocre food! :)
We love you, our angel! :)
A random morning where he painstakingly woke up real early to make breakfast for me! =D
And yes everyone, I'm attached :) Thank you all for the blessings! :)
Me and my lovely bouquet of tulips! =D

Hot Appetizer: 
Signature Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao
Soup:
 Mushroom Cappuccino
Starter:
 Sauteed Maine Lobster 'Marco Polo'
Hot Appetizer:
Tempura of Stuffed Soft Shell Crab, micro greens and spring vegetables, spicy Lobster Emulsion
His Main:
Slow roasted Australian aged grain fed beef, 
sauteed Maine Lobster in Asian Black Pepper Sauce

My Main: 
Wild mushroom Risotto sauteed Maine Lobster, duck foie gras

Symphony of Dessert
My Verdict: 9/10
I loved everything about Sky on 57! We selected a few from the ala-carte menu. Our Hot Appetizers are surprisingly good. It was my first at Foie Gras XLB. The taste was alittle overwhelming at first, and I would prefer the traditional XLB. However, thinking back now, it was really a mouthful of goodness! Stuffed Soft Shell Tempura has a surprisingly richness of flavours in the mouth with each bite! Yums! I have a love for mushroom soup and this was not bad. We ordered Maine Lobster Marco Polo as our starter and it was awesome!!! I totally love the taste, texture and freshness of the lobster cooked in Aglio Olio Style! Totally wish I can have a portion of this infront of me now! *Saliva Drooling*
Our mains were not disappointing too! Anything with foie gras I will definitely give it a try! My risotto is full of the richness from the different mushroom types available! The lobster was also fresh and the mixture of everything together, I was in love! hee!
Lastly, we order Symphony of Desserts for 2 pax. It was a surprise as we do not know what was planned for us. We loved the different 'mini' desserts placed for us! The dark chocolate is so rich and not sweet at all, definitely to my palette! I will never forget the mini Chocolate lava Cake! Yums! 
I want to go back for more, shall we my dear? Hee =D
 
The night ended with sweet indulgence. The boy got me my fave laduree Macaroons and Moet! 
Thank you for coming into my life and loving me :)

Till then! :)

Pasarbella and Friends go to Town Event and Random Snippets.

Hello, hope your weekend went well! It's a weekend of mugging for me for work, the woes of being in the science industry! :( But nonetheless mine was filled with fun and loads of food!
Studying together with my girl, just like old uni times :)
The 2 angels of my life, couldn't ask for more :)
We are coincidentally in shades of blue today =D
After our mystery guest arrives, we headed off for MBS nearby!
Headed for Cafe Asia fair first. It's a fair for the coffee lovers and food industries to come together and showcase all the different coffee machines one has to offer, and the coffee and confectionary items that others share about! Coffee smells lingers all over the exhibition halls. Dutch Colony, Toby's Estate and Liberty Coffee were a few who were there! Free coffee tasting was available as well! 

Cheers to nice cafe latte by Toby's Estate!
I love that it doesn't contain much acidic notes! :)
Us and our happy faces with our lattes! =D

Headed for Pasarbella and Friends go to Town Event at Events Plaza at MBS!
I always love Pasarbella Market and was quite excited to head over to check out :)

It was scorching hot even at 4plus pm, a bummer :( 
Came across this stall that sells macaroons! The colors attract me the most, however it's alittle on the higher end price side :(
Us basking under the hot sun for some Vitamin D, a Parma Ham Sandwich that costs a freaking $18! Believe me, if I knew it was $18, I wouldn't have bought it :( I have a weakness for Parma Ham. The sandwich turned out to be mediocre. We had the comfort of some beers too under the hot weather!
Since we had car, we travelled all the way to the north-east area for some comfort food! No reservations was allowed during the weekends, and was told dinner starts at 6pm sharp so we could head over straight as there wasn't much queue. To our amazement, we reached at 6.10pm and we were 6th in queue =(
An hour later, our food FINALLY arrives!!! 
We all love what we ordered and shared amongst each other. 
Don't you think when you share your food, it tastes even better? =D
Sinfully delicious Hazelnut cake and Lemon Meringue tart to end off the night :)

xxxxxxxxx

Random food Snippets! :)
Homemade Brownie that's so sweet :)
Dinner with comfort french food that's so good! 
I'm craving for it again as I'm typing this down!
Friday super sinful and full dinner at P.S. Cafe at Dempsey area!
The baby ribs was awesome!

xxxxxxxxxx

Random Shopping Surprise!
My Shopbop finally arrived! =D
Scored this pair of Tory Burch Reva Logo Flats at a steal! 20% off code in the mailer! =D
Mad happy to wear it out on Friday!
Have been aiming this for awhile, however local boutiques were way more expensive and sizing always run out for me :(
Helped dear Winda love scored this gorgeous Tory Burch card case too! :)

xxxxxxxxxxx

Heartwarming Home Food!
Dear Auntie specially prepared this soup that helps in people with anemia! 
It was so delicious and filled with her love despite her being a vegetarian and couldn't have it herself.
Couldn't ask for more :') 
Specially brought back from Malacca, I warmed up the soup and prepared for mum and I, Assam Laksa! =D We ate with happiness on our faces! I love assam laksa, and Penang's still the best!
What I had this morning :)
Milicrepe from the famous Malacca's Nadeje Cake Shop along with my favourite stash of tea from Tealy Tea! =D

I love these 2 little ones =D

Meet ZeZe, the cute little nephew! He brought smiles to my face immediately without fail each time, be it through pictures of him or seeing him irl personally! He brings all my tiredness away and he's a happy pill for his family =D
Cute little niece, cousin of ZeZe! She's a year old plus now and she's also adorable ttm! 
Just alittle too over-active sometimes hahaha =D
