Kuishin Bo Buffet

We waited long, very long, for a table at Kuishin Bo. Phy was telling me how good the food was and she can't wait to get to the fondue station. Feli also was terribly hungry and me, kept chewing mentos lime to ease my stomach juices. I just had grilled fish in school while finishing up my project like 3 hrs ago? Haha sinful glutton. The 3 hungry girls then begun making funny faces and started our dinner with a photo shoot. And yeah, seats are ready! We sprang up from our uncomfortable stools and began scanning the food counters.


My gosh the desserts and seafood corners really blew me away! We had countless plates of snow crabs, salmon sashimi, mango puddings, chocolates, and 2 paper steamboats. Neighbouring patrons gave us strange stares and I guess they have never seen any girl eating the way we did! Haha what a joke. After 120min we hurriedly requested for another few min to finish our last plate of crabs and remaining desserts. It's only 2 hrs cos we took the ladies' nite offer which is like $7-8 cheaper. Feli couldn't let go of her mango pudding, so did Phy, she couldn't leave without a cup of green tea ice cream. I stayed cool, cos I really couldn't eat anymore. Poor Phy suffered tummy aches after that! Dun eat so much salmon next time ya! Hehe

The day bro Joey came back



Sis came over with Shireen for dinner. We had mushroom quiche, garlic and herb toasts and a hearty chicken and mushroom stew in bread bowl. I made the bread way before Sis came cos it take some time for the dough to rise. The recipe was take from an online source searched by my dad. Umm but I didn't wanna make french loafs, so I shaped them in to founds to make bread bowls, like the ones we see at The Soup Spoon. I sniffed at my bread and the strong yeast smell kept me pondering if I've added too much yeast? Keke I guess I need more experiments to find out what's wrong. Anyway, the stew's great! It's got all the favourite vegetables that we girls love and thick chunks of tender chicken in it.
When sis came we just had to finish up baking the quiche and garlic bread, while waiting for Shireen to come after work. After dinner Sis had to fetch Joey from the airport, so we quickly took some shots of her accessories for ROM in November.

Wow look at that bride-to-be. I'm so so so so happy the pieces turn out just fine. I've spent much time crafting this piece which I initially saw online on a page on victorian and edwardian crochet. But of late I fail to locate this page and I dunno why has it disappeared! Sigh what a pity. The choker needs precise calculations or the lace part, then pearls are attached to it to add design and texture. As for the bracelet, Sis and I shopped for a brooch to make something that looks like what we saw in a shop at Pearl Centre. Wondering what are we doing there? Ya it's the place to get all the craft materials especially for bead and the like. I think Sis really liked her accessories alot, now I gotta think of what to do for earrings. ;)
