July Birthday Celebrations

"you'll never know if you never try,

to forgive your past and simply be mine.

i dare you to let me be your, your one and only.

i promise i'm worthy, to hold in your arms.."

I should stop hearing these kinda songs before I start being emo elmo. Anw, back to blog about the super expensive crab dinner that I had last week. It was JM and QP's birthday so the huge bunch of Singaporeans headed out for a good dinner.

Ordered a few dishes to start with, char siew & siew yoke (we are in hk!!), egg white with prawns and scallops dish and peking duck! Yummy. There was also fish, hotpot toufu, beef, stir-fried veg and many more to feed the hungry table of about 18, but didn't grab any pictures of those.

The crab is called huang you xie (direct translation: yellow oil crab? haha). Cost a hole in my pocket but everything just try only lah! So here's presenting the main star of the night! *Drumrolls...*

Looks too ordinary for something that cost about HK$1,200 (S$200)! Haha. It has plenty and plenty of roe though! The crab meat was sweet, but quite little so you really have to dig. The restaurant provides plastic gloves and those little picker things so you can get into the little corners without dirtying your hands.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS! STAY FOREVER 21 <3

Anw, the crabs are seasonal, available around June - July so you might wanna check and reserve the them if they're available to avoid disappointment. We visited the Central branch but they have outlets all over the island.

After dinner, we headed nearby for drinks. Hong Kong has a lot of interesting places that are hidden in buildings. I suspect it's due to space constraint. So you'll either need to look up or get someone to bring you there, else it will remain undiscovered. This bar that we went to was one of those little gems. Hidden on the 13th floor, the lift opened to reveal a Bruce Lee poster and a door with a "Members only" sign. Doesn't the door just beckon "c'mon in"? Haha.

The place portrayed a vintage casual feel to it. The toilets even had old commercials playing on a small screen telly. The place offered a variety of interesting things .. think alcoholic konnyaku jellies (lychee sake FTW). Shots were served with popping sugar, reminding me of my childhood days. Their martinis were thoughfully paired with appropriate powders! Like how my guava martini had sour plum salt on the rim of the glass. Nice! :D

As usual, drinks were ordered for the birthday girls. There was waterfall, sambuca vapour and trays and trays of shots.  We were also sucking on alcoholic ice lollies. There was mango, durian and even mojito flavours!

About 2am, we decided it was time to partyehhhhh! So we headed to Prive. They moved from the top of LKF to a location at the bottom. Yays! No more walking up those crazy steep slopes. I wonder how those girls in high heels do it. Hmmmm. Anw, haven't been to LKF since NYE, so it was great to check out their new location. Champagne and two bottles of huge-ass vodka to end the night! :D

Hanging out with a whole bunch of Singaporeans made me feel that little bit closer to home. It is amazing how people of the same country bond when they're in a foreign land. And they look out for each other, which is really nice. Still, I miss Singapore, cos that's home. And home is where the heart is. At least, where mine is! Haha. Anw, this was what I wore to Saturday.

Top :: H&M

Bottom :: Redvelvetrose (upcoming)

Accessories :: Necklace from Shenzhen

OTD isn't very clear cos i took it with my phone. It has ribbon details at the waist and comes in 3 pretty colours! My sis, py and I had a hard time choosing which to keep! Decided on the unique green and purple ribbon combination in the end. Think lil' sis kept the white based one. Gonna wear it when I get back to Singapore. Heh. I miss sharing clothes with her!

Redvelvetrose officially launched our debut collection yesterday. I was so mad excited! Been working on the website for months, re-writing and re-writing the HTML template till what it is now. We have really exciting self-manufactured things coming up so I really hope you girls will like it as much as we do!! (:

Alrighty! I am off to watch Twilight (Haven't watch it before! What's the hype?) and have an early night cos I got to do some BCP testing tomorrow. Yes, the work week hasn't ended for me. Boo ): Still, TGIF! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!! :D:D:D
