An 'Abalone Crepes' Shopping Weekend:-P

Today is the 6th day of Chinese New Year, and being the first weekend after the first and 2nd day (which is mostly dedicated to family), it is the best time for friends to invite one another to welcome the new year. That is exactly what I did for this wonderful Saturday.

I was invited to my ex colleagues house for a gathering of old friends and acquaintances. Lovely time to catch up with old work mates and indulge in a bit of new year gossips and catching up. It turn out to be a really pleasant and somewhat 'yummy-licous' house visit. Beyond all the new year goodies on offer for all of us, my friend catered a very interesting in-house crepe making service to make crepes for the guests as we chat and gossip. It was the first time I have heard of such a special service, where one of the staff from the company will be stationed at your home and make 'custom order' crepes for any guests. That was refreshing and fun, somewhat bizarre. We had a good laugh while we ate. The selection offered by the catering service were standard ham and cheese or mushroom and cheese with other selections of dessert crepes, but my ingenious friend prepared his own set of ingredients and my...are we in for a treat...

One of the self prepared ingredients are ABALONE! Yummy...how decadently quirky for crepes! It's like a east meets west innovation, never heard before. So I had my first Abalone, Chicken and Cheese crepe (Sounds yucky eh?..I had wanted to add some mushroom to it, but thought I am already risking a food disaster so I refrain from adding more fuel to impending food mishap)... which to my big surprise...turn out to be exceptionally yummy. Hmmmm...I am still savoring the taste in my mind. Should have eaten more, instead of the standard ham and cheese. Grrrr.

After a few hours of gathering with good friends...I moved on to Orchard Road to run some errands and do a bit of shopping. I need to pay up for a shirt I reserved at D&G and while waiting for the SA to return from his lunch, I wondered into Mulberry to check out what goodies I am able to uncover for this last phrase of the sale. Never disappointing a trip for a super seasoned shopper like me, I did managed to score a little indulgence for this weekend:-P Besides my purchase, I also received information about the Taylor series of bags for Mulberry Hilton Hotel. They will be stocking Taylor tote in stripe canvas and the zipped tote in green canvas. Both cost SGD $999 and SGD $1199 respectively.

Afterwards upon rounding up my D&G errand, it was to Hermes to check out the espadrilles I had lusted...but to my disappointment, the SA told me the shoe was not ordered for their store and he ask me to check with Takashimaya's outlet. But I could not be bothered since just 2 weeks ago, I did made a check there and no signs of the shoe.

I then continued to the bank for posting of cheques, updating my bank passbook and do a final round of shopping at Kinokuniya, Paragon's luxury stores. From the Prada nylon tote, to Diesel's neon coloured tees, it seems nothing interests me. A long queue as usual outside Louis Vuitton Ngee Ann City, perhaps in anticipation for Monday's launch of the Graffiti pieces. So sad, Graffiti Neverfull is delayed till March...so I will only hit LV again in March.

Finally before heading home, I stop by my favourite store in Singapore, Zara Liat Towers for a quick check on new arrivals, and of course...the long missing 'Dressing Room' shots I used to do! I thought it will be fun to document what I am wearing today. I had something new on. So I did:-P

Nothing in Zara for me either and upon taking the pics, I scurried home. I was at a friend's place over last evening so I seriously need some proper shut eye. Holiday incoming next week! Need beauty sleep. Hurray!
