not so wild rocket

Met up with Jennimon and Peggimon after half-day training that I had to facilitate. I still have the jitters whenever I do presentations, somehow, can't exactly see myself as being a presenter. I just hope with enough practice, I would somehow get better with time.

Anywayz, met up with the ex-coll for dinner and Puffy actually made reservations this time round for dinner. We wanted to try out 'White Rabbit' but unfortunately, made reservations too late and this 'it' restaurant was full!! So we settled for 'Wild Rocket'.

Well, food was not so wild. Think the standard dropped (Puffy commented 'that's why can make the reservations'), I think the lunch menu was better.... with the all-time fave Burger and laksa pasta. Dinner menu was not so desirable.

We ordered their house white which was actually pleasantly smooth on the tastebuds. And here's the starters that we orderd. The pumpkin salad served with wild rocket greens, feta cheese and cherry tomatoes. We also tried the beef carpacio seasoned with lime dressing, I liked this dish as it tasted refreshing with the lime dressing. We also shared the escargots with black bean sauces served over polenta. Hmm, that starter tasted abit strange, not so great.

For the mains, we shared the tandori rack of lambs and the crab linguine with tomato/chilli cream sauce. The portions felt a little small so we ordered dessert!!

This was the ginger pana cotta over poached pear. They actually diced the young ginger and drizzled over the pana cotta. We made fun of this dish and said it was more like tau huay served with ginger. Haha...We also ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake, but its' not that nice as well. It was granola served with very heavy cream cheese and strawberry. Well, Peggy said she can make this.. .hmmm... I wonder..

After dinner, we fooled around whilst waiting for our cab to come. That's Jennimon calling for cab and me taking a pic of Peggy who was supposed to be taking a pic of me. And lastly, me and Pegz... hmm, my hair is too flat!!

And, today, I attended Eva's daughter birthday party. I was the only 'big kid' there.. haha, B actually called me and asked if I terrorised the kids or 'stole' their toys, I just rolled my eyes on the other line. Met with Huiming after that for a nice cold beer at 26 at Big Splash. Hey, the place was actually a gem that she uncovered, really nice and chill-out, the best part? Just outside our place, dun need to head to town to drink next time round!

I have been lusting over the Lanvin pearl necklace for the longest longest time, and it still looks pretty unattainable for now... so I got down to making some look-alikes!!! :) (LHS: The actual Lanvin necklace and on RHS: necklaces made by 'moi'!) Pretty pleased with the end-result! Gotta go now... going to try my hand at another design with some pretty pink pearlies that I got.
