Back Home Part 1 + Redvelvetrose!!

Hello! I'm back from a wonderful trip home. Only had 5 measly days so time was precious. My whole schedule was packed meeting up with friends & family. And it was great! I wish I could do it all over again. I miss home. *pouts*

Wednesday
Flight got delayed. So the minute I touched down, I dropped my luggage at home and headed to settle some blogshop stuff. The discussion lasted till past 10pm! We hadn't eaten then so headed nearby for dinner.

I had Bak Kut Teh. It was okay, nothing to rave about. But felt good to have some local food as soon as I got back.


And we shared some braised intestines and salted vegetables. Nom Nommm Nommm.



Thursday
Photoshoot day! Super tired! I was ironing the pieces till 2am and woke up at 830am to do make up for the lil' sis. And we had to lug so many things to the locations. Got lost driving to Queenstown Ikea! Had one collection photographed at the cafe before we headed down to eM by the River for a super late lunch. I was craving pancakes but we missed the breakfast menu by 15 mins ):


Our two models -- My lovely partner and my darling sister! <3



PY ordered the club sandwich and Fiona had the ham and cheese. My sis and I shared a mini burger cos we had a plate of meatballs (one of our props!) at Ikea while the shoot was going on. Heh.




Then it was back to work! Caught a photo of Fiona in action (:




We were chased away before we got much photos taken. ): I chose this place cos I have been here for sunday brunch before and their service was horrible! So I thought they wouldn't bother us if we did a photoshoot here. But apparently, it's not allowed. Boo.

I love the whole outlook of the cafe, bright and sunny and a perfect place to catch up with friends. Their food is okay, nothing commendable. There's definitely a lack of service, though I guess I can't complain since there is no service charge. Still, it is a major turn-off and I doubt I will return here soon. :S

We left the cafe and went around Robertson Quay to complete the photoshoot. After which, we rushed down to Queenstown Old Cinema to complete the last collection scheduled for the day. Managed to capture this beautiful sunset view. (:


Rugrats came to pick me up and we headed to Hilltop Teppanyaki for his superrrr belated birthday dinner. I have fond memories of this restaurant as I have been coming here since I was a kid. Whenever my parents asked me and my siblings where we wanted to go for our birthday, we would usually name this place.

It's all gonna be food pictures from now on, so brace your stomachs! Started off with appetisers. I like the pickles and the shredded crab meat in mayo. Yummy!!


We ordered a lot! Sashimi, cuttlefish, toufu, garlic rice, special salmon and beef.


They have this cool thing where they light a fire for the beef! You can really feel the heat!


There was complimentary desserts with each meal. I decided to try the honeydew sago this time but it was disappointing. Gonna stick with their mango pudding or fried ice cream next time!
