the V Tea Room  

Sunday, February 11, 2007

the 3 ladies out to do their hair!
my sisters and I
hohoho! electricuted!
eeeks! look like snakes!
sis done with hers!
my sis's ceramic perm - very tai tai-ish!
mine's ceramic spa perm - when I just stepped out of the salon. but now, it looks just like long long bah hu --meat floss-- sigh! so difficult to maintain! thinking of rebonding.. aarrhhh!

after our long day of cramping in the salon arm chair, our butts really ache and tummy rumbling. so the 3 of us, rather tai tai-rish, chose an exquisite café in Esplanade to dine. the café, V Tea Room, is really worth trying! very beautifully decorated. very lady-like design. has a victorian era kinda feel. even the smallest detail of placing the desert spoon is looked into. they are famous for their liqueur teacakes, which are really fantastic! Also, they sell tins of cookies that have the WEIRDEST, really weirdest! flavours I've ever seen! especially their flower range, it's really a great attraction for ladies. they have a black pepper flavoured cookie, it's rather nice if u have craving for black pepper crab! mmm.. they have hae bee hiam flavoured cookie, lavender cookie, many many more! I've actually tried all.. haha! free sample! really good! but the prices for the cookies are rather steep.. sis bought a tin of lunar moon cookie for $25? ard there.. expensive~ BUTTT, the flavour is really unique! do try it someday! Basically, the V Tea Room is more of a lady place. Dishes garnished with rose petals, cakes sprinkled with yellow roses, and beautifully decorated cakes that u can't imagine sinking your teeth in! if you are a tea lover, the flavours they have are really exotic and aromatic. it's a place really worth trying, especially when u like victorian era kinda setting, perfect to sit, sip, and chat :)

Italie Churros!  

I've been so so so busy that I neglected my blog! my picture folder is loaded with new photos and have yet to upload any! arhhh!!!! It's a friday and I shall do it now!

Long long time ago, I had craving for Churros! An origin from Italy. It's actually something very common in shopping centres but seldom will people eat it.. Once, in Junction 8, they sold it for $2 per stick with chocolate! Goodness ... that's really a little over-charged! Give me $2 and I can fry 50 sticks for you!
