I was eating non-stop for the week and after during mid-October as laoniang became officially 27.

Korean BBQ for dinner on 12 Oct with colleagues. Delightfully 'meatilicious'.

The husband was working on my actual birthday, so he brought me out for sushi at Itacho on 13 Oct.


 

 



 

 

 

 



 I forgot the name of this... tamagoyaki-something. See, I'll totally suck as a food blogger. ._. But this was delicious. The eggs went so perfectly with whatever's inside.

The husband wanted to buy me a whole cake, but I decided on having tea (at like 9pm lol) instead. We went into Pique Nique, a nifty looking cafe place.


 

My cake tasted quite dry and crappy. Husband's cake tasted aLOT better. I'm such a bad judge of cakes.

 

It wasn't a lavish affair, but I was pretty happy with the celebration. :)

On 14 Oct, I had food tasting for my wedding at Intercontinental on 16 Dec... which more or less turned out to be a free birthday dinner with the family.


Needless to say, the food was amazing. They had real crab meat (not the NTUC crabsticks hor!) in their fried rice and HUGE (like REALLYYYYY HUGE) portions for everything. The fish was my favourite... I would eat all ten if I could.

On my actual birthday on 15 Oct, I nua-ed for most of the day and joined the husband plus the 二姐 gang (lol :x) at Poulet, the french chicken place at Bugis+. The queue was LONG but I was late, so... it was our turn when we made it. :P

 


Tasted pretty good overall! I'll keep this place in mind. :D

Had my second food tasting for my wedding at M hotel during that same week. Food was pretty good too! The garnishing wasn't too desirable but generally the food was great.

 

Felt shiok to see our names on screen! *suaku*

 

Overall satisfied! :)

Went for my make-up trial at La Belle Couture today... for some reason, my coordinator seemed quite 'high'! :P

Okay, my expression was damn act cute during the session... the MUA kept making me giggle and laugh! I had fun, and felt so comfortable with her. :D

I don't worry that much about make-up because (1) my MUA Vivi has good reviews (2) I actually don't look very different without make-up... to most MUAs I should be some sort of an idiot-proof palette. But Vivi still managed to wow me... I loved it! I felt like some Korean chiobu.

Probably will look a little more dramatic when Vivi puts on falsies for me on my actual wedding. I never really liked my lower lashes because they trap dust easily and it's damn annoying. Finally see them put to great use! I actually liked my lower lashes after make-up. :D

After the trial, we went to Tonkotsu King for ramen. It is like THE best ramen in my list!

Located at #01-19 of Orchid Hotel at Tras Link, it is a stone's throw away from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and it's always crowded on weekday evenings. Thankfully, we reached there at an awkward timing and there weren't that many people.

They have free-flow tau gey and hard boiled eggs! The tau gey was quite yummy, especially considering that I'm not a tau gey person. I opt out tau gey for my mee rebus, vhar kway teow and laksa, and I cringe at the sight of a tau gey dish... but the tau gey at Tonkotsu King was good.

For the ramen, you can either choose the standard Tonkotsu Ramen, the Red Spicy version or the Black Spicy version, and you'll have options for nori/seaweed topping, the egg (runny yolk!), or all of the above. Both the husband and I ordered the Red Spicy version, and "all of the above" for toppings. :P

The broth was thick and flavourful but not overpowering... the chunks of chashu were HUGE (can't really see from pic, they're under the noodles)... and the ramen was soft and chewy... Mmm. *slurp* I'll be heading there again soon!
