Shopping + Good Food = Life is Good



Happy Birthday Charsiew! Had a simple lunch at El Sheikh, a Turkish restaurant at Arab Street. We had Hummus with Pita bread that was enjoyable; the Salta Salad was light and freshing; and we shared Beef Kebab which I found the meat on the tough side. Charsiew ordered the Islamic Dates Milk which was surprisingly nice. After we had our fill we embarked on our mission, fabric shopping. It was a sea of colours and more colours, but it was not difficult to spot the ideal buys as Charsiew already had in mind the colour theme for this year's Hari Raya... shhh... it's a surprise.

Dinner at Ma Maison with C was pleasant; the ambience of the restaurant remained the same and the food is still good. We had Camembert Fritter for starters that was accompanied with a syrupy dip and the first bite had a hint of Goreng Pisang taste that continues to linger until you sink your teeth into the melted cheese. We shared a portion of Paella, it was light and yet tasty. We were busy yaking and forgot to snap photos of the food.

Ended the evening with a bit of drama at Starbucks Paragon. Guy and Gal quarrelled... Guy slapped Gal... broke a cup... spilled coffee... Guy left in a huff with all belongings... Gal sat alone weeping her heart out... she was bleeding on her mouth, so it must have been a tight slap. Painful man... Personally I won't tolerate a guy hitting a lady and especially in public as it's simply disrespectful. Shame on him.

Finally, I managed to add blog links on my site. Stay tuned, more to come.
