Brasserie Gavroche

Decided to change the watermark after using the old version for a couple of months :) As I was sorting out pictures into their respective folders, I realized that I've grown used to seeing the pictures taken by Pus Pus - so when I saw pictures taken by dent dent, it took me several moments of getting used to. Another back-dated entry on Leecher's birthday celebration *old pictures with new watermark*, this time round with the Uni mates.

The BFF recommended Brasserie Gavroche for their extremely handsome/pretty servers, alongside with their french food.

This restaurant is opened by Frederic Colin, the former executive chef of The St. Regis. 

 

When we walked in, I was greeted by the dashing waiter :) Strategic location to place him, all the ladies will go weak in their knees, haha! He looked just like Jude Law, with more hair! 

 

Their menus come in a wooden frame, that made the arms ache if held for too long. 

 Complimentary Parmesan Choux Puffs :)

 

 Bread basket, with unsalted butter.

  

In a french restaurant, must order escargots! We also ordered sauteed bamboo clams, topped with Iberico ham to share.

 

Ordered 3 mains to share b/w the 3 of us. EK and Pris were supposed to join us, but they couldn't get away from work, so we went ahead without them. I'm not a fan of mutton, but the grilled lamb chops here is just yummy! Presentation of food was kinda plain, but the taste made up for it. 

 

with Kenneth dear :)  

 

 Pre-ordered Profiterolles for Leecher as part of his birthday celebration. He was in a surprise when they served it to him, cuz he thought we were waiting for the bill.

 

Another year wiser older

  

 

 I kept the candle in our cupboard, as a memento for his first bdae as a married man, heehee!

 Chocolate mousse to share with Kenneth dear.

We then adjourned to Roberson Quay to meet up with EK and Pris for drinks. 

  

Pris and me prefer white wine, while the guys tend to like red more. 

 

Ordered cheese platter. Love cheese with grapes :) 

 

  

Sneak off to the counter (enroute to toilet) to prepare for this surprise. Lucky Leecher get to blow 2 "cakes" within a short span of 2 hours.

NKF Carnival

We got our lazy bums out on a Sunday afternoon and headed to the city.

  

Hot hot day! The sky was gloomy in the morning yet, the weather changed after 1 hour later. 

 

SG Flyer. Along the way, we spotted Gardens by the Bay too. I've yet to visit it - waiting for the hype to die down, so it will be less crowded. 

  

Driver Leecher :) 

  

No cars insight, smooth traffic all the way! 

  

Lines of cars neatly parked. 

 

Arrived @ Marina Barrage. 

  

We came all the way here for the NKF Carnival. I'm sure most of us witnessed the fall of the old NKF a couple of years back. After some "house-keeping" in the organization, they are now back with their 1st ever public fund raising event.  

 

The turnout was pretty good, given that we can't even find a lot in the carpark and had to park the car quite a distance away. 

  

 The band providing music for the event - taking a lil breather.

  

Bumped into Tracy, our wonderful videographer for our wedding. Recommended her to a couple of my friends and they promptly engaged her services as well :) Will be seeing her for a couple of times more at their weddings. 

 

Tracy offered to help us take a couple pic :) So sweet of her! 

 

White tents for food and Blue tents for games.

 

Redeem the mini mooncake first - cuz it was while stocks last. It came in a big environment bag, which only contained a mini mooncake. 

 

Queuing up for mueh chee, one of the must-try during a carnival :) 

 

 

  

Happily gobbling it down, for I was famished! 

 

  

Next stop: Vegetarian Laksa, which consisted of just noodles and bean curd puff. 

 

We stood at a corner and finish the laksa. Been a long time since we stood and ate our food. 

 

 

 Chocolate ice cream to finish off our meal :) Ice cream was sold out extremely fast in the humid weather and I managed to grab the last scoop of chocolate ice cream. 

 

 There were lots of kites flying above the barrage, decorating the afternoon sky. 

 
 

Kids were enjoying themselves with games, instead of having their eyes glued to ipads, books and computers.  

 

Cold drink that wasn't cold :(

 
 

While we engaged in 自拍, an uncle walked past us and offered to help us take a picture! 

 

Thank you Uncle for your kind gesture :)  

 

Before we left, managed to spot the NKF mascot. I pity the guy posing as the mascot, for he must be feeling extremely sweaty inside the costume!
