I had quite a relaxing day today with shopping on Orchard Rd, got some nice dresses and shoes and gifts. I also got to enjoy a Whopper from Burger King and a latte from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf… both of which I haven’t had in quite a while.

Ron was busy finishing up some work for school but we met up for dinner with friends at Holland Village. We had dinner at Thai Express. The appetizers were the most interesting part of our meal.

We had a green mango salad served with coconut milk, called Chiang Mai style.

Plus the stuffed chicken wings… apparently stuffed with chicken and shrimp. It was interesting and a bit weird to be eating something that looked like a chicken wing but did not have the texture of a chicken wing, more like a fish cake.

I have updated our blog with a few things for the last two weeks. It’s been so busy that I just haven’t had time and been a bit tired.

It’s almost the end of Period 3 of Ron’s school and this is the time when quite a few people will migrate to the Fontainbleu campus. So the girls decided it would be a good idea to have a farewell dinner. The wonderful dinner was planned by Sofia. She reserved a large table for all of us girls at PS Cafe near Dempsey Road. PS stands for “Project Shop”.

I ordered the Roast Leg of Lamb: Australian Lamb rolled with mushroom duxelle on roasted potato, pumpkin and parsnip with Syrian fig jam and gravy.

After that I still had dessert of ginger pudding with Earl Grey creme anglaise. Oh, this was yummy! I really loved the Earl Grey creme.

But next time I’m going to try their cakes:

I think we all had a good time and it gave us a chance to catch up a bit before we separate.

We’re having fun now 🙂

We headed over to Cafe Del Mar on Sentosa to celebrate Gladys’ birthday. It’s a pretty chill place and it was quite nice to have a glass of champagne and spend the evening among friends.

This week was Ron’s school’s “Dragon Week” so they’ve been having events most days: movies, lectures, parties, lunches, dinner, etc. Tonight (unfortunately scheduled for V-day) was dinner at Long Beach Seafood at IMM. We had dinner here the first month we arrived in Singapore but this time it was free 🙂

Yummy chili crab again among other things… we of course again ate too much but I think it was a hit with all the students who are only here for a short period of time.
