Of roasted chicken, quiche, potatos// sparkles.punk,crochet

Food preparation for the bf's BBQ dinner.

Roasted chicken the turkey style, one we have tried muchie before (;

But a pity this chicken we got from NTUC was too fatty and the dish turned out too oily ):

But nonetheless, we have fans of this dish (;

Spinach & cheese quiche

A little more salt to flavour the dish just perfected it (:

Tiny potatos seasoned with salt and stuffed with bacon

A really yummy and easy dish, perfect for gatherings (;

When you can't join them, support them

The amazing people who completed the 42km stanchard run.

Since I can't join them for the run.... I join them for breakfast!

(:

I woke up at 5.30am to board the train down to the finishing area, not to forget slippers and wet tissues for the boy. 

Breakfast at Red star restaurant at Chinatown

It's the first time I've seen dim sum served in this traditional trolley carts, except from the tee-vee.

Call me a country pumpkin but I get very thrilled seeing something different from the usual restaurants

((:

And this is how they track each table's orders

Tuck in!

Eee-Tare-Cho-Backdated

Meetups with T and Mr J sometime ago.

Haven't seen them for a long time!

Thankfully it was a friday and T was able to knock off early to join the looonnggg henious Q for this sushi place. And it doesn't help that the place is small and service was slow.

It's always nice to meet up and chitchat with ex colleagues. Hehe and remembering how Mr J talked to T's mum over the phone, just tickles me much (:

Tulipmania-backdated

The Tulipmania festival at the floral dome a few months back. A pity we went when it was towards the end of the festival and most of the tulips were overbloomed

 

But as compared to the florals spotted in Switzerland during my grad trip 2 years ago, I was pretty disappointed. But oh well, we have to make do with what we have in our tiny island, don't we. 

Can't wait to save more money to go back to Switzerland (:

Picked a floral outfit to blend in with the flowers (;

 

Kudos to the wonderful man who was trying to appease me, and cheering me up from my i-wanna-go-back-to-switzerland-for-the-pretty-flowers mood.

Shot this with his new HTC phone that he is really proud of (;

Testing the night shot of his phone for his birthday celebration with his buddies.

Pretty good eh

And the toilet that I can't resist from snapping a shot from.

They actually have a greek statue staring at you do your business. The girls and I were guessing that it could have been the lack of space for this art piece, so that stored it here :p

But thankfully the eyes were staring straight infront, and not downwards :p

Pardon me for my not so fantastic cum grainy shots of my coordinate. Have been brainstorming on how to improve them (:

How's my new gladiator sandals from Charles and Keith? Got it just over the weekend cos my feet were hurting from another new pair of shoes. Oops. 

Justification: Its on 40% off! AND it has previously caught my eye when it was first launched!

So what excuse to not buy? (;

Spot my paper beneath the sandals. heh. Have to make sure this shot doesn't dirty my bedsheets.

I love how this pair of browns, golds and studs add texture to the outfit. And throw in my favourite black sequins bag, and a couple of gold accessories, and the outfit is good to go!

Have been receiving many credits on my fav black sequins bag and have since helped 4 other friends purchased it. And T's colleagues were gushing over how lovely this bag is too! But haven't really decided whether I should launch it in store due to the mailing issue.

So meanwhile, if anyone's keen, feel free to drop me a mail at thedancingjewels@gmail.com (;

Alright, have to go. The bf's coming back from his work day-trip to Batam. Time to meet him soon(:

Favourite boy

A backdated post of my favourite boy's birthday last friday (:

Having heard many raves about Dozo, I decided to treat my love to a good meal at this place and emailed the restaurant 2 weeks before to book this lovely place.

Situated at River Valley, we headed there straight after work for our 7.30pm date. Dozo specialises in their 7 course set meal dinner where you choose one item for each course, except for the starters

Spot the bunch of sticks at the left side of the photo, they are not incense sticks, but complimentary bread/cheese sticks. I feel like i'm eating incense sticks every time i reach for one.

Welcome drink from dozo, which tasted a little too sweet for my liking. But I love the artificial lavender sprigs. I'm such a sucker for pretty stuff :/

First up was the fixed/standard starter of seared scallop, foie gras and smoked salmon. I loved how the waiter would introduce each dish to us, and advise us on the sequence of tucking into the starters.

Personally loved the starters, considering they hit my soft spots with all my favourite food.

If I didn't remember the sequence wrongly, next up was the above. I had the fresh and succulent king crab claw salad, while the boy had the beef tataki with shaved parmesan and mayo.

Love the refreshing dressing of the salad and juicy crab claw. yumms

Tbh, I'm not a fan of beef, partially for religious region, and also because of the beefy smell. But I actually quite like this as it doesn't reek of the beef stench, perhaps because of the cheese and mayo. But I really like this and kept taking bf's portion.

And we had a choice of Japanese clam soup and crab bisque in espresso style.

Crab bisque had a stronger taste as compared to the light touch of Japanese clam soup. For a avid fan of strong flavours, I prefer the crab bisque. 

Have heard about the awesome reviews and recommendation of the foie gras chawanmushi, but if i didn't remember wrongly, on last flavour, somehow the foie gras tasted like chocolate and i was massively disappointed.

I love foie gras oh-so-very-much and prefer savoury food to sweet flavours. Being my awesome bf, he offered to exchange his dish of escargots with me.

*swoons*

It's another of my favourite dish. Did i mention I love french crusine? And this french-japanese fusion restaurant is <3

And before the mains arrived, the bf with teeny weeny appetite was full. Can you imagine it?

I had my poached salmon and half of his six piece sushi :p

Poached salmon was pretty normal, and six piece sushi tasted, alright. like sushi. haha

My friend recommended the pork cheeks and that shall be my choice the next time I patronise this place(:

Can't remember what's the name of the drinks, but mine was a blend of vegetables and fruit juice. The sweet liquids in the test tubes tested much like bubblegum drink and not to my fancy. The bf was commenting about the brand of the test tube imprinted on the edge and that they were of good quality.

Haha, really, the things he observe.

Finally, dessert! Chocolate molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Yums. There was also the green tea ice cream and mochi, but i found the ice cream too sweet and didn't really like the mochi. 

Happy birthday sweetheart <3

Dozo also kindly prepared the adorable bite-size cupcake, which we found it overly sweet acty. But really appreciate it for the effort of customising a birthday greeting for my boy. Although there were like 5 other birthday dinners there, and I was trying to drown out the staff singing birthday song to them in order not to spoil the birthday muffin for my boy.This just shows how popular it is for birthday treats (:

Could see how happy he was when the waiter came with the cake and sang him the birthday song. And he kindly offered to take photos for us. Really love their impeccable service.

Thank you for everything darling.

Hope you love the dinner

<3
