Good Friday, Good weekend

How great! Another nice long weekend all thanks to "Good Friday" CHEERS!

Knocked off slightly earlier on Thursday, then I went back to have my dinner, bathe, then off I went to meet Jane, Sally, Siong Siong & Ber, to go Double "O".

I tell you, last Thursday's Double "O", although it was R&B night, but all 5 of us did not have the mood to party at all. It was so so so boring!!! Why?! The reason I guess all 5 of us know it... (Can't say here... Quite a sensitive issue...)

But we drank, joked and caught up with each other... CHILL!!!



After chilling, we danced a little. Gosh! Double "O" was SO SO SO PACKED!!! Hardly had any space to move around... GOSH!!! Then, feeling a LITTLE hungry, we headed down to Bedok 85 for supper hahaha!!!

Good Friday

Slept till very late haha!!! (That's what I always do whenever I never go out haha!!!)

Watched a few episodes of Taiwanese drama: "They kissed again", I washed up and prepared to go out with ber ber...

We went walk walk at Vivo City. Last time we went there with Sally, we walked by this urban-minimalist restaurant called "Red, White & Pure". The restaurant is located at 2nd Level Vivo City, near Secret recipe. EXCELLENT restaurant.

Why excellent?
1) Quiet, clean and beautiful ambiance (Best of all, NOT CROWDED!)
2) The commotion happening outside the restaurant feels so distant.
2) Wonderful view of Sentosa Island
3) Great food at very affordable prices
4) Spa & masseur services on 2nd level

We were able to fully enjoy our meal, because there wasn't much crowd. During our meal at any one time, there were only 4-6 people in the restaurant.

Here is what we ordered:
Appetizer

Smoked Salmon Salad, with whole wheat bread and tata sauce
The salmon is served in 5 thin slices. Lightly smoked till about 20% cooked. It's excellent, but slightly too salty. You can request for the Salmon to be less salty. A MUST HAVE dish!


Soup of the Day: Pumpkin soup, served with whole wheat bun
I think that this soup is the basic of French cuisine. And this Restaurant, scored full marks on this one! The soup is served lurk-warm. Easy to swallow. And most important, it doesn't leave behind a bad after taste. It just makes you wanna have more, and more, and MORE!


Main course

Pasta al Napolian
The only vegetarian main dish. I think this is a dish that can really show how skillful the Chef is. Because the pasta and the rest of the ingredient must blend together perfectly. For this dish, the pasta was purposely cooked till a little burnt, which I feel gave it much texture and flavour. Companied with the ingredient and olive oil. Splendid!!!


Brewed Chicken Skewer with butter rice
This dish is a MUST order! The rice has been pre-treated with butter and a little bit of BBQ sauce. It is fragrant!!! Can't comment much about the chicken. But Ber Ber finished it all in a flash! ha ha ha!!!



We spent a total $50. i felt that it was well-spent. The view was wonderful. Ambiance was splendid. The service was excellent. One thing I noticed was, they do not rush to serve customers their dishes. In between our starter and main course, there was a good 5-8 min interval. I feel that this interval was just nice. So that our stomachs can rest a while and prepare for the next dish. And, they do not waste on refilling your drinks. Cool!

MUST TRY!!!
4 out of 5 stars!

After that, we walk walk a bit around Vivo City, tried out clothes at Domanchi & Forever 21. Then, we headed down to Pasir Ris Park to have a nice pot of tea.

we ordered brownie with Ice Cream, Earl Grey tea & Chamomile tea


Chocolates we bought at "Candy Empire"

Saturday

I got to work till 9pm!!! But I get to sit in Air-con hall, listen to Traders teaching people how to trade. COOL!!

Met up with Ber & Sally after work at Suntec City, then we headed over to Clark Quay to meet up with Jane, Steve and their friend.

We went into this very cute and cosy dessert shop, located at The Central, next the Cheers. Really, really cute! From decorations to displays to food. Everything was so CUTE!!!
