So pretty
So one day I got a random adtext from this shop called Pastry Pursuits and since I was bored and about to fall asleep, I clicked on the link and guess what I found:
Egg Poachers!!! Anyone who loves a good sunny side up (or any way the egg is done just as long as the white is cooked and the yolk is sizzling but still raw) as much as me will love this. I mean, how can I not know about this till now? They don't have it in pink, unfortunately :(
Pretty fondue sets!!! Though I'm not a big fan of cooking and cleaning up (just eating) I'm just gonna put these up cos they look so damn adorable.
Then I found this weird triangular thing which made no sense to me till I saw the word 'Cheese'.
It's like saying 'squirrel!' to a dog I guess. 'Cheese' leaps out at me. *defensive*
Apparently its a Raclette saucepan. I didn't know what Raclette was but after a quick Google it's apparently grabbing a wheel of cheese, somehow melting it, scrapping the gooey cheese off and eating it. (Sides optional of course, but that's just me.)
I'm making myself ravenous right now -.- I wished I was some domestic goddess so I can get all the little pots and stuff but I'm not so... EGG POACHER!!!!

Heart of glass
1. I wish Singapore can be sunny yet cold at the same time.
2. On F: Wifebeater, H+M. Cover up, Raf Simons.
3. On F: Structured harem shorts, Lykelihood. Gladiators, Granville Circuit.
4. On me: Wayfarers, Ray-Ban. Bamboo sleeve shirt, NastyGal. Mesh bandage leggings, Granville Circuit.
5. I have obviously put on weight again...
6. Suede ankle boots with glass heels, Alexander Wang. It's 3 sizes larger than what I usually wear, but it was the last pair so... anyway I think his sizing must be quite small since I find them fine and extremely comfortable after pasting some heel jelly things on.
7. Tiered necklace, NastyGal.
8. Glass faceted ring, Marc Jacobs.
9. Am I weird or is it totally normal to get this irrational urge to rub your face against the soft fluffs?

The land of grouches and great shopping
So on last Thursday F and I skipped sleep altogether and reached the airport at 4 am for our flight. Starving and sleepy, we had my second favourite brekkie in the world - half-boiled eggs and kaya toast. Yumsy!
Vivi for the journey. Couldn't get Vivi Japan so ended up getting the Taiwan one. Still couldn't read the content wtf. But the cover girls are hot! My favourite one is the one on the right. Look at those collarbones ~
We arrive at Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui after a long jam. Cab fare was close to 300 HKD = 60 SGD. HK's standard of living seems to have risen. Even some lousy cha chan teng's noodles also 5 SGD. The awesome bah chor mee at the coffeeshop near F's place is only 2.50 lor.
Room wasn't that fantastic. Just reassuringly comfortable. With all the basic stuff. So it kinda felt like a ripoff at 300+ SGD per night. I wanted to stay at the Mira with all the cool tech stuff and egg chair but F said nooooo. :(
We only had 3 days, so it was kinda a rushed trip so after washing up we headed to the shopping mall K11 below our hotel (like, literally in the basement) and randomly picked a restaurant to grab a bite before shopping.
F's beef stew and noodles. We were expecting the noodles to be dry and the beef to be mixed with the noodles but... haha.
Looks very nondescript but the beef was really tender and bursting with flavour, the noodles QQ, the soup tasted of real stock and nothing of MSG at all.
Frigging awesome xiao long baos (XLBs). See, you go to some random place in HK and their XLBs are way better than the best ones in Singapore.
These seriously had loads of soup in them. Plus, the meat inside was extremely tasty, and the skin was paper thin but still managed to hold all the soup in it. In Singapore, we get thick skin and drops of soup AND the skin still breaks.
Ok the reason why we have contorted faces is because... we were sucking the soup out of the hole at the top of the XLB. That's how much soup it held. Suck some of the soup out, then stuff the whole thing in your mouth. Best mouthgasm EVER.
On F: H&M leather jacket, Agnes B shirt, Lykelihood structured harem shorts, gladiators from Granville Circuit.
Ok I know I look super nondescript but I was dressed down for an entire day of shopping lor.
*Grumbles* I wore my boots to the airport and didn't get a photo op but now that I'm wearing my slouchy shirt/leggings/flipflops combo he wants to take photos. Great.
On me: H&M slouchy top, leather paneled leggings from Granville Circuit, beloved Chanel backpack and Havis, obviously.

We were on our way on the subway (My first time taking the subway in other countries!!! Mainly because the cab uncles are SO mean and terrible and their subway is really fucking efficient) to Causeway Bay and we had to change trains until we saw the mob waiting to change trains. There were QUEUES. ON THE PLATFORM ITSELF. It was so nerve-wrecking we got off at Admiralty (F keeps doing the Woodlands' next! joke) and wandered around till we found a food court.
My favourite!!! Gong Cha - So much better than Koi man. I had their classic one with fresh cream or something on top of the bubble tea. Cream that's SALTY, k. Very very nice. And a super huge cup (about same as Koi's size) is 2 SGD. TWO DOLLARS HOR!!!! Koi costs about the same as Starbucks lor.
I think I drank it 2 or 3 times while we were in HK. In fact, every time we saw one outlet, I got a cup. Hehe.
After lots of crazy shopping we went to an alfresco bar that had its restaurant indoors. We actually went there for oysters... Little did I know F had his hidden agenda.
WTF its rim was as big as the widest part of my face -.-
After that it rained heavily and I cursed F repeatedly (I wanted to cab back to the hotel since we were really laden with lots of shopping carriers) because now we didn't have a hope of getting a cab without getting our things and ourselves wet. Also, he picked the only bar without an umbrella escort service. -.-
I'm extremely happy with my shopping done there!!!!!!!!! Don't know if I'll do a haul from hong kong post cos I bought... a significant amount. And also, Momo will get on my back for 'showing off'. So... we'll see how it goes.
