My Bday treat 2014!

went to bukit timah area.. which was along Lorong Kilat.. wah.. first time been here.. and actually has many atas places here.. will be going to Nook, House of Pancakes for lunch.. was fully occupied and have to wait as din noe reservations is actually allowed..

weather was TOO hot.. popped in Udders for ice-cream~ ordered Tiramisu and Sesame ice-cream.. tiramisu taste was bitter due to the wine.. but the sesame one is v gd.. can taste the sesame fragrance! 

was ard 30mins of waiting.. and Nook yet to call us.. went over to peep.. and glad tat one table was gonna leave.. maybe din really eat cos of this meal, caused me see stars while waiting.. *dizzy*

The place decoration was quite nice and unique.. actually, tot was juz a place to eat pancake.. but din realise is actually DIY pancake! sounds fun when i see pple squeezing the mixture to the pan and do their own designs..

How to order in order to DIY ur pancakes.. Choose pancake batter ($10 per bottle) and Select sweet topping (50cents per small tub).. Savoury fixings is like cooked food while waiting for ur pancake to cook..

We ordered Pandan and Velvet flavour for our mixture.. pls dun order too much, unless u wan to have more colours for deco.. is bit hard to finish the whole bottle.. we ended up juz finish half for each bottle..  rainbow sprinkles and cheese for toppings for deco...  Choco and honey syrup is provided too~

i can say the pan is v gd to use.. non-stick! haha.. by Tefal..

another atas area which i nvr been b4 again..  along Scotts Rd, with those big bungalows as restaurants.. 

Went for Fine Dining @ Buona Terra.. This place was quite flexible in ordering.. as there's seasonal menu.. and dinner set menu with fixed price.. based on which set menu u ordered, u can choose which courses u wan.. means u can hv 3 x main courses of the same price! isnt it wonderful? allows us to try more things instead.. so we ordered one (Spring) seasonal menu.. Luna (Moon) dinner set menu of 4 courses.. Menu has 4 categories: appetizers, pasta, meat, dessert.. we decided to go for all, but no dessert, 1 more meat instead! appetizers, pasta, meat and meat! yums!

the way they serve the food is considerable.. pasta with pasta.. and meat with meat..  as we are sharing.. and end of every dish will have our plates cleared~

Total damage: 300+ with FULLY occupied stomach!
