Buttercup just became Mrs Gian and we got invited to the lovely Mr & Mrs Gian's abode. As we sat in the cosy room and reminisce over the paths we have walked through over for so many years and how this blog has come to its 4th anniversary from its first post. Time really flies and we wonder how we have ever survive over all these years.
As the person in it, we never notice how much we have changed until we step back and look at ourselves from outside. The many ups and the downs and the supposed path A become B etc. And the 3 of us (Buttercup, Bubbles and Moi), the embracer of singlehood ladies move to another stage...and so will Sumiko Tan.
It's not that we are worry about the time-bomb or concern about loneliness. Till now, I never stopped myself from going some place by myself, traveling alone without the man, going late nights with the girls, went out drinks myself, doing things just by myself.... of course with the new relationship, there is compromise, there is definitely changes but nothing still left moi wanted to keep that ME, MYSELF and MY SPACE all to myself and I am still myself.

Looking back
Spaggdies
A 5 ladies outing became only 3 girls and we wouldn't have chosen here if not for the other 2. Not complaining but who wants to come so far if we have nearer options. Still recall the many years ago when Moi had to come with another one to Spaggdies like nearly every other sunday and ordering the same Crayfish Parmigiana. Thanks Goodness, no more nightmare. =P

Lor Mee
Went back after a long while to eat the Maude Road's Lor Mee and was I disappointed. The lor mee didn't taste quite there and even their fried fish which SuSe had loved was NOT nice. The fish tasted really fishy... NOT FRESH?? But it will be very difficult for Moi to ever go back again.
Fei Fei
Maybe I have heard raving reviews from many on Fei Fei that when Moi finally tried it, it seems nothing too much fantastic. Heard from Harry that the prawn mee tastes just as good so we ordered 1 prawn mee soup too. Not too bad though Moi prefers the Beach Road's.

Marmalade Pantry
Someone was raving about this place so I specifically went over to try their dessert. Unfortunately, their signature cupcakes were all sold out by the time we arrived so I got to settle with their chocolate cake which I found it too sweet. Like their idea to use the spider chrysanthemum as a centre-piece. Gives it a little orient fusion to the modern setting.

Shi De Fu
SuSe brought me to his favourite childhood's wanton stall at Geylang Bahru. Well, the stall was still around but the taste....
SuSe says taste is not as good as before...
Moi says ok lah... nothing too exceptional

Caught the flu bug
Got the flu bug last friday and have been rather sick. Saw the doctor twice and still not any much better. Coughing my heart out the whole night and the medication made me so drowsy and stoned, I can dose off with my eyes wide open. Fortunately or unfortunately, Moi is on leave for the whole of this week so it's rest and more rest at the sweet home. SuSe was teasing me that I am such a workaholic, that even during holiday break, I am sick so I won't have the chance to rest. Sigh... so true.
Little akachan wanted so much for my warm hug BUT didn't want to spread the flu bug to the little one so it is distance for now... Miss you, sweetie.
Kurobuta Shabu Shabu
Other than tonkatsu (Pork Cutlet), Tampopo offers quite a fair amount of other Japanese dishes like Shabu Shabu, Sukiyaki, Sushi, Ramen, etc. So decided to divert from my usual order of tonkatsu for Kurobuta Shabu Shabu. I would say the portion is rather small for its price but nevertheless yummy!!

Got a shock that the strip of bacon actually costs SGD 2. Though food was nice, moi find it overpriced.
