Meet up with Kenneth

The meet up with Kenneth dear :) Khim, Pris and Yaozu couldn't make it, so the trio went ahead without them.

Cafeteria il Lido, a cheaper alternative to the iL Lido @ Sentosa. Since it's named "Cafeteria", don't expect the posh seating like this

Their slogan " Classic Italian Fare stripped down to basics"

Bare minimum. We came for the 1-for-1-mains & I was surprised that this place was practically empty on a Friday night, except for 3 tables of diners (including us).

Since it's 1-for-1, we ended up with 4 dishes for 3 pple & no one's complaining! Foodie FMQ went for the promotion too & she's way better in penning those thoughts into words. Read her review here.

with Kenneth dear :) Oh, coincidentally, I'm wearing the dress that he got me for my bdae!

We were still feeling hungry despite sharing 4 dishes b/w us. Hence, we headed to Secret Recipe for more comfort food, lol!

JB Trip with AF Gang

Lovely evening as we embarked on another JB trip with the AF Gang! Met up with the rest @ our meeting point, Jurong East.

The guys discussing which route to take & getting ready all the required documents to cross the causeway.

All set and ready!

Fa-ge was our friendly driver for the day :)

Accompanied by Chuan Yew, who brought along his latest gadget!

Ta-dah - the new camera from the IT show.

Leecher & me

Yen's car leading the way.

Checked in @ Tuas Checkpoint.

Toilet break at the petrol station while the guys loaded up on petrol.

Cruising along the highway to the seafood place which Yen highly recommended.

The famous seafood restaurant

Winston & Vanessa decided to switch partners for the day.

coconut to quench the thirst

Cheers to a successful food outing!

Yes, that's how much food we ordered - what to do when we have 8 eating machines?

Then, we came back to Singapore for desserts, lol! We were in-and-out-and-in of the country all within 2 hours.

Yen was looking through the menu while Fa-ge decided to survey what the other customers were eating.

All of them decided to have snow ice-shavings while I decided to have my warm milk tea.

Chuanyew's latest gadget (check out the lens!) - dent dent paled v much in comparison, lol!

Next Outing ~ to be revealed :)

Skinny Pizza

The first meet up of 2011 with the fave foodie! Just got back from BKK and had to meet up with FMQ to pass her the stuff that she lompang for the BKK trip.

Off the Skinny Pizza @ Raffles City. The place has undergone so much changes that I couldn't even recognize it initially.

The skinny menu ~

Arty farty chairs - thumbs up for the creativity.

Ordered the Sweet Potato Nibblets, Truffle Fries, Brie Cheese for starters. Who could have ever thought that sweet potato would taste soooo good. Still adore the truffle fries @ PS Cafe though.

Love the pizza crust, but not the toppings. Sometimes, simplicity is the key to food ~

Leecher, being the only guy in the group, always get preferred treatment in picking his own food. This time round, he picked the lobster linguine - which turns out to be pretty good! All of us were busy pricking our forks into this dish and neglecting the pizza. Maybe they should rename the brand as Skinny Pasta instead.

When it comes to desserts, we always shun from what Leecher picks. His choice of (bad) desserts started way from our 1st meeting @ Marmalade Pantry. This time round, he ordered Rumbaba - soaked in rum & vanilla sauce, prized hot rumbaba sprinkled with candied grapefood and apricot jam - as he was sold on the words "a classic well-done" on the menu. LOL, a classic flop if you ask me. Skip this totally.

FMQ and me shared the strawberry shortcake (served warm). Nice touch of vanilla bean cream! This was termed as a signature on their menu!

Group pic before tucking into dessert :)

Ladies in blue. Sorry FMQ for having to accommodate my petite frame when it comes to taking pics :P

That's how much she had to accommodate me - and I was in flats that day! LOL! Mental note to wear my 5-inch high heels next time & force FMQ to be in slightly shorter heels.

Surprised that Leecher is actually on par with FMQ's height?

Nah - look closer! Wa ha ha!
