Cafe Iguana

Dessert first... i like that, just like the poem I last posted. But no, that's not what it was. Dessert actually came later. And that is at this Japaneses place, Azabu Sabo in Central. It's the one on the first floor, at the corner, right where the escalator is. Really colorful place so it's hard to miss. U know, how these little Japanese outlets are always so enticing with their culinary display.
This is the real reason for getting out of hibernation again this Sunday. That's 2 Sundays in a roll. Last week was brunch with Shirin and this time with Leonn who is visiting from Texas. Actually the way it goes, not much of a visiting anymore. Looks like he will be coming back for good. Reasons, quite obviouse right? hahaa..Oh btw, Leonn is my outlaw. (Ben's younger brother who is not that young anymore). But no comments, cos it will only reflects on my senority and not to mention, age!
Wes wanted to try this TexMex place.. Cafe Iguana. Verdict - maybe 6 out of 10. Not TexMex enough. Frozen margarita was a joke.. I swear Sunset Grill in Seletar Camp makes a much better one. The fajita was not quite we expected, but have to say that the beef was pretty tasty and not overdone. That's a plus. Quesadillas was so so... And the Buritos! Mother size. A bit on the dry side. Overall, I would say that it will probably be a great place to party in the evening but foodwise, really not as good. Compared to last week, brunch at Paulaners Brauhaus was much better. Sumptious spread with free flow beer! That is brunch!
The usual dipping, sour cream, guacamole, salsa etc...
Meat is tender and tasty. But I guess we were expecting that sizzling hot plate and since it's not, we are kind of disappointed at first.
Mother size Burritos! Pork Verde on the side was nice.

Used to like Cafe Iguana for the food,,,,but ..now better more for drinks cos it's only like $6 for a G&T. Did u find it quite $$$ for the kind of food u were getting? It used to be fun to hang out there but the crowd changed too,,,

My Implants

Dr Lynn Yeo - www.lynnyeo.com.sg Its been 11 days after the implant... I am seeing fine now. Close vision still not too good but according to Dr. Yeo, my eyes are still adjusting. That probably explained the fact that at certain time of the day I see fine and some time, a little out of focus. For near sighted reading, it helps using a reading glass. At least for now; may gets better, may not. But thats just for reading. Otherwise everything else is ok. Can check out the cute guys, no problem :-) She also given me the green light to resume work out. So I am hitting the gym tonite! Yippee! Ok, the moment I mentioned implant, everyone's eye automatically move to u know where! No I don't need that! I am proudly well endowed :-) So I have this need to clarify. Its ICL or rather in my case, Toric ICL - implantable contact lens. Lasik is something I've always wanted. But unfortunately I am not medically qualified because of my thin and irregular cornea. I was so disap

Fajitas Dinner

Image
Sixteen years in Texas and finally now back in Singapore after 10 years, I finally attempted to make this signature dish. Been back for 10 years and still cannot find any restaurant that can come close to the real TexMex Fajitas. Started marinading the flank steak right after noon. Was not able to get hold of the regular Texas lime; so used calamansi & lemon instead. Out of ziploc bag so used the bowl instead. Would be better in the ziploc cos then the flavor will be completely sealed in. But anyhow, it still turned out awesome. Marinade with onions, cilantros, bell pepper, salt & cumin. Finally ready for grill after chilling in marinade for about 6 hours Did the whole enchiladas...man have not used this expression for a while! Guess for this, it is most befitting. Did guacamole, pico de gallo and Mexican rice. All from scratch. Rice is cooked with fresh tomatoes, pureed with onions. Was not able to get any avocados cos those that Daisy bought for me was not ripe yet..

Sex & the City - Gold Class

Gold Class - that's the way to go man! It's like going on business class. Great movie, great company and great experience. Thank you Rachael and Shirin for suggesting it. And Rachael, thank you so much for booking the tickets online. You know its such great fun to dress up for a movie. To feel so excited about a movie outing. Seems to lost that for a while. Isn't that what life is all about? I am so thankful to have girlfriends like you all to spice up my life. You are my Spice Girls! I really enjoyed it. Though I have to agree with Daisy, the next time around I will rather go easy on the dining cos the service disrupted the movie. And it's such a shame that they got Shirin's order mixed up and here we are, Daisy and me wondering why our platter is so humongous. HOw silly of us That aside, the movie itself is really entertaining. You have to know the series to enjoy it. Wonder if they will do a sequel or maybe a Desperate Housewives movie?
