High Tea @ Tiffin Room, Raffles Hotel




Nice place, nice ambience... but honestly our joint verdict - will not be back.. Don't get me wrong. Look at the presentation. It's awesome. Love the 3 tiers display of scones, finger sandwiches and cakes. Yummy too. But that's it.. The buffet is basically your local fares. Fried carrot cake, tim sum, popiah, porridge, fruits, tau suan, bean curd etc. .your local hawker fares but done the hotel's way- lacking in flavour. And for that price, I think you definitely get a better deal in Foster. Its 3x the price of Foster ($10++).. Of course presentation not as classy but hey u still have the scones! Plus I still kind of prefer high tea served by a sofa seating; more cosy versus table seating. So luckily this time around we got a $100 voucher to offset.

A while ago I was "farming" @ Farmville and clearing weeds @ Barn Buddy. Sigh... must get back to my studying!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, forgot to mention. Something else to look forward to tonight. Braised Duck. Will be cooking that later. After my delayed breakfast/brunch, almost lunch maybe teabreak. Even got a bottle of white chilling in the fridge for tonight. Nice eh.

Partly inspired by Dom's banoffee's pie. Took a walk to the nearby RiverVale Mall to buy bananas and condensed milk after reading his blog.. But the bananas over there looks pretty much like those that Dom bought before going to NZ.. So it's a tub of chocolate ice cream instead. And straight off the tub.. thats the way the boys would eat it. Of course with popo exclaiming; "eating in the bedroom!!!!!!!!!!"

Halloween

I know it's still a long way... few more months but Bez already got me excited. He come up with this theme party for Halloween.. Musical Theme. U come dress as your favorite artiste... or anything that represents your favorite genre. He of course will be Slash. But sorry no budget for leather jacket. Any sponsor? Anyone can loan him one? Mummy is not ready to spend a fortune for a nite of fancy. Jared says he will be the Michael Jackson, the older version and Javon the young MJ. And it's unanimously agreed that Wesley be Rick Asley! Lol.... he loves to rick roll everyone. Daisy can be Dolly Parton. And myself, Dor suggested the 881 - the Papaya sister. LOL.. maybe Daisy can be Papaya sister with me... Let's drape ourselves with boa and trinklets. Alex's favorite is Engelbert Humperdick and Alvin says he will come as KISS - leather outfits, white face and lightning slash across. Yet to know what Shirin will be. PCD or Rihana? Oh this is going to be fun.. Lots of ...
