Sing Me A Lullaby

The Succulence of Warmth

nothing beats spending quality time with the family. especially so for bdays where i started the ball rolling of eating out. since i've started working, thought it'd be nice to treat the family some good food that i also wanna try. heh.. we'd usually just blow the bday cake baked by mum at home, but we're now trying out new places, and relatively more expensive too. uh-oh..

for mum dearest, since the plan was to bring her to the Singapore Flyer, we ate at one of the restaurants called Jalapeno's Peppers. it's a blend of American , Mexican, Italian and Latino-inflenced dishes. the colourful interior was the most attractive and there was a wide variety of food choices but didnt really like the service there. they also didnt serve ice water there which added to my expenses and joy for family members to order drinks. bah! haha, but it's not often that their dear sister pays, so it's alright. the great thing was that mummy was happy with her surprise bday cake and Sg Flyer experience. Wheee~ success!

for sis dearest, my parents asked her to pick her restaurant of choice, and i happily gave a few suggestions, of those which i wanted to try out. unfortunately for dad, and fortunately for us, our destination was My Humble House! It is the only Chinese eatery out of 3 restaurants in Singapore to be voted as one of the top 100 restaurants in the world by Restaurant, a prestigious British magazine. given so much publicity, i really wanted to try for myself and mummy was really excited too cos dad had said that he wanted to bring her there some time but had yet to do so. heh.. and so she also happily extended the invitation to our expanded family.

the interior design itself was fascinating, giving a blend of the modern chinese artistic look with a tinge of the traditional past. the presentation of the food was immaculately designed, and your taste buds really come alive which each bite. the 7 course set dinner was named The Delicate Snow Fell At Midnight, with equally delectable names for each dish such as A Heavenly Match for glutinous rice with minced meat and The Waves Beckon for atlantic cod with garlic in superior soya sauce. ooh-la-la.. the chinese food here is undeniably the best that i've ever tasted, but i guess the prices are abit exorbitant.

but the last display was even more wow. although the cake was real small with ice cream on a huge plate, with the smoky effect of dry ice, it looked really amazing!

hope you had fun sis! oh, and she has an online shop. pls visit ALYSSA FAINCHE ! personally i think the items she's selling is really fab cos i love most of the items. i've bought quite a few items from her already like the off shoulder top for mummy's bday celebration and necklaces like the one below. oh and the bracelets are lovely too!

and yup, i bought the red straw bag too! hee..
