The Last of 2011!

Can’t believe it’s already the 2nd week of 2012!!! And CNY is juuuust coming right up in less than 2 weeks~

L managed to fly over on NYE and we check-in to MBS~

The view from our room. It was very last minute and therefore we couldn’t get any of the City View rooms.

We had TWG for dinner because I was craving for the scones with tea jelly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scones tasted better at ION outlet and the tea jelly is still divine~ ❤

A kind friend helped me brought back these little devil sweets from London!

Oh how I miss you little babies!

Extremely happy on NYE!

Savouring my Rose macaron` ❤ ❤ ❤

Well, when i had both brands in Paris 2 years back, I favoured La Durée over Pierre Hermés. I kinda felt PH crust was overly soft. LD had a chewy bite.

But for now, I think I prefer Pierre Hermés. However, I’m still not a big fan of his experimental creations. The traditional flavours are my cup of tea!

Now, I wonder when will be my next encounter with these little sweeties!

MBS had made special arrangements for hotel guests to countdown at the Infinity Pool.

Just look at the crowd at 11:30pm!

It was a splendid night spent watching the beautiful fireworks popping just right in front of us! 🙂

Happy 2012 everyone!

May the New Year be filled with love & happiness everyday~ ❤ ❤ ❤

 

Christmas @ Sky on 57

How was your Christmas? I spent the eve of Christmas at Sky on 57. It is my first time stepping foot into Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore’s skyline is becoming attractive.

On the menu was a 6-course with wine pairing. It started with a glass of champagne at the terrace.

Sitting by the window…

I chose a cheese and a onion bread. (Nothing beats Morton’s onion bread!)

Trio of Jefffrey Quek’s signature Appertizer:
(from left to right) King Crab Custard Champagne Emulsion, Smoked Eel Parfait and Oscietra Caviar, Fresh Oyster in Citrus Dressing

Artichoke Veloute

Wild Thread Fin

King Scallop

Anjou Pigeon (My favourite.)

Christmas Sweets:
Chocolate log, Mont blanc, Morello cherries ice cream, sugar glazed chesnut

I was almost gone at the end of the meal. They paired 3 whites and 1 red for the dinner, which I couldn’t finish. Dinner started late and Christmas was spent in the restaurant. Sadly, there was no mass countdown.
