Food, Food and more Food!

Just a little taste of what Singapore can offer in the way of food.

The cakes & pastry photos were taken inside this shopping complex.

We found this place when we were looking for somewhere to have breakfast . . . the name made us laugh.

Meals below are from Crossroads Café. Beef cheeks with veg., Creamy mushroom pasta, Caesar salad with chicken, Sliders with salad & fries and an Asian poached chicken dish.

Buffet dinner at the Marriott Tang Plaza where we were staying. You simply chose what you felt like at the time. Going back for a second serve or having two desserts made you feel like the cost was worth it and besides it was fun!

When I showed my hubby he thought it was strange to eat watermelon with chicken, potatoes and greens . . . I didn't, it went quite well with them all and the fresh sweet watermelon was really tasty!

Above bread & butter pudding, mango & strawberry chef made ice-cream and a small selection of tiny indulgent treats.

Another breakfast at a local café . . . a little weird but it tasted okay.

Meals below are from the Food Opera at ION Orchard.

Hopefully I have whetted your appetites.

Back at Crossroads for a beer and a cocktail while we watched people pass by.

Holly's Holiday

 Just a few snaps from her holiday in Singapore.

 

 

And our visit to Raffles Long bar and Grand Lobby for High Tea.

Greeting on arrival at Raffles.

You cannot visit Singapore and not enjoy a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar.

This Grand Lobby is opulent with it's beautiful crystal chandelier.

This was before the scones arrived! Everything was yummy!!

I took heaps of photos and will share more if you want to see them, just let me know in your comments.

Happy weekend to you all!

Nadia Phan

Nadia arrived yesterday. I haven't received an IT doll for sometime and was immediately surprised by her red packaging when I removed it from her shipper. I'd forgotten how nicely IT present their dolls.

Inside, she was securely held in position by white satin ribbons. Her hands, knees and waist were protected by plastic wraps.

By her feet you can see her hat and cocktail glass. Her other accessories found inside the accompanying box, were earrings, three bracelets, a ring, long gloves, her beautifully detail shoes and an extra set of hands.

Nadia's CoA was found underneath the inner box and states she is #430 in an edition of 1000.

I am pleased with her face up as the heavy eyeliner (top & bottom) and her full red lips are much like the flappers wore in the day.

She stands quite well on her own in heels, which means I can leave her stand where it is in the box (I never really liked the IT stands). Since taking the following photo, I have added her jewellery, though I needed to open the holes in her ears to allow the earrings to go all the way through her vinyl.

The dress is far too short, as I thought it would be, so some changes to come there. She has so much potential though and I am really happy with her. To give you an idea of just how wonderful this doll could be, just take a look at this photo I found browsing the internet, where her owner has made better use of Nadia's long neck.

This is not my photo and I'd love to give credit to the person who took it, but the watermark is in Russian (I think) and very difficult to read.

Well that's all for today my lovelies, have a great weekend!
