Our 2nd Year Anniversary (: (:

20th May 09:
Another BIG day for me and dear (: Our 2nd Year Anniversary! Yes it is only our 2nd year; it seems like we've been tgt for so many years..haha.
Our celebration was kinda simple (: High-Tea at Goodwood Park Hotel and we caught the movie "Angels and Demons".
Everything was impromptu. Er hem dear u know why lar huh!?haha.
Well; it was me who chose Goodwood park coz ive read so many positive reviews on it...no one seems to regret going there (: We've nv went for any High-Tea buffet thus we decided to try this out. Initially i wanted to make reservations for Shangri-La's Rose Veranda High-Tea- they have more than 100 types of Teas and a huge range of desserts and hot food! But; they were fully booked even on a weekday =(
Pictures time (: (:
[I'm wearing my favourite dress till date; just received it from one of my fav shop AE after waiting for a few weeks..I love it to bits; the cut; the material ; the colours are just so awesome! It is an exact replica to the designer's pc which cost a few hundred bucks! I feel like a princess wearing it (:
[ Having our tea and coffee before tucking into the buffet spread ]

[They served many types of cakes; all the cakes are designed beautifully (: ] [Their famous scones]
[Another of their famous item: Creme Brulee] - it was too sweet for my liking >.<
[Fried items- not a big spread but each piece was fried to perfection; really]
[Many many types of sandwiches and bite sized savory items] - the savory items are just like pieces of ART...each of them are exquisite and does not just taste great but looks great too! [Smoked salmon]- love it!
[Diff types of cheese]- we didnt touch them at all; i dont like cheese!
[ Goodwood Park is famous for their desserts! Thus they have a really big Dessert Station filled with many types of small sized cakes; tarts; pies etc etc...] The spread is overwhelming!



Our 1st plate: Foie Gras on bread, Ham on hard bread; Salmon with Caviar, Ebiko prawn pastry and smoked ham. It is my my 1st time eating Foie Gras and Caviar; both which are really expensive items... Sadly; my tastebud doesnt agree with the taste of Foie Gras; it just taste so weird >.< ..But the salmon with caviar; smoked salman and the ebiko prawn pastry were really good!
[Dear eating Foie Gras!] 2nd plate: Fried items! I like them especially the fried vietnamese style spring roll and the very long fried item which i dunno what exactly it is. hee.
3rd plate: Portobello mushroom croissant; Parma ham with melon, Tortilla wrap with pepper chicken(on the top), Ebiko Prawn pasty again and the kueh pie-tee lookalike item in the middle: Chicken with Apple and Apricot in Crispy shell- This is my FAVOURITE item; it is SUPPPPEEEER NICEE! Must try! The crispy shell melts in your mouth; overwhelming it with so much taste once you take a bite out of it.
4th plate: Cakes !! From top; clockwise: Fruit cake, rum and raisin pear tart; rum and raisin cake; crunchy hazelnut choc cake Next; taking a rest...from the Dessert Station: Mango soup with pomelo..Mango lovers will sure love this! It is very thick!
Then; time for Hot Tea! Dear ordered Camomile tea for relaxation; i ordered Rose and lavender tee (:
[Mine- it taste really sour >.< ]
By now...we are both really full and dar was almost puking!! Both of us have really small appetites! But there are still so many items which we've yet to try...so we forced ourselves to get some more food.. (:
From top; clockwise: Prawns with mango croissant, Apple and apricot crispy shell(i love it too much), beef sandwich; smoked salmon(love this too!)
Lastly; we got this few from the Dessert Station...from top: clockwise: Strawberry mini fruit tart(dar like this), Raspberry cheescake?, Choc eclair, Lemon meringue(Refreshing!) and "i dunno what is this"..haha..i just took a small bite out of everything..They taste GREAT!
Creme brulee...too sweet!! but those with sweet tooth are sure to fall in love with this. okies...there are still many items we've yet to try..i just wish that we have bigger stomachs >.<>
Next; we watched 'Angels and Demons"- another impromptu decision... (: But; the movie was very very nice i feel!! Though there are so many Catholic terms which i don't understand; it kept my eyes wide open throughout the entire show..A great and interesting suspense movie! (:
Next; we had a simple dinner at Cine foodcourt since it was kinda late by then..I had my favourite pasta- "5 Star Baked fish pasta" ($7++)..worth every cents; serious!!!! this pasta stall can be found in Vivo's foodcourt too..Their standard is really hotel standard; trust me!
Lastly; i love my dear dear and hope we can spend our lifetime tgt doing so many simple and yet fun-filled stuff ......
We have so many years to spend tgt and i thank God for that (: I really enjoyed all my time with you, quarrels along the way did helped make our r/s stronger (: I dun mind quarelling once in a while! hahaha.
HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY DEAR!! MUACKS!

May updates:
For the month of April and May; me and dear hardly went out for dates all due to my exams =(
So, we went to Jurong point last saturday to walk walk since ive no tuitions that day. haha.
1st stop: Ji De Chi Dessert! 1st time patronizing this dessert stall. The hot food items were quite special but nt cheap. =(
[Shy dar. haha.]

[ Sticky rice with real durian fillings ]- it was really sweet and special, not bad imo but must definitely share this with sumbody. The sticky rice skin is really thick! [Yin and Yang dessert]- almond plus sesame paste. I prefer almond paste on its own! I love almond paste!!!
[ Then we had Toastbox laksa for late lunch ]- It's my 1st time trying their laksa after hearing raves about it. Taste was not bad.

[I'm taking a break from the tedious phototaking]
[I bought the famous Japanese Fish-shaped Wafer ice cream for dear to reward him.hehehe.]
[This is a random bouquet of roses given by Dear..he love giving me red roses..hehe] the bear looks sad =(



[This is one dress i really love from one of my fav shop BC] wore it for different occasions..it is casual and pretty!! I love it! Oh and i was holding on to a cup of "Gula Melaki" ice cream from this newly-opened Ice Cream shop called "Udders" at Westmall! This shop served a variety of Alcoholic and Exotic flavours ice cream .

[Another sweet new top. But it has since been returned to the shop coz it was a wrong item mailed to me =( hahahaha]

[Introducing to you; a very very nice Japanese Melon ice cream; can be found at the newly-opened Japanese store next to Mos Burger in Westmall. It is also served in Kuishin-bo! Really nice and refreshing! I tried the Orange flavour one too and it was equally gd!]
