Fabulous

Hey guys, so the existence of the Fabulous Baker Boy has definitely been floating around in my consciousness, but like the many brunch places that have popped up in Singapore, it's hard to keep track of them all. So when my big sister managed to get us a reservation (they are hard to get!) for Saturday Brunch, the whole family made our way down from all over Singapore to have a meal together. This place is not easy to find - directly opposite Liang Court, the entrance is obscure to say the least. But worth it - I was expecting prices around the $20.00's like most "brand name" brunch place in Singapore, but it wasn't the case. If there is one dish you should try, it should be the Towkay Ng's Egg Benedict ($10.50++), such value for money, and two of the most perfectly round poached eggs sitting on a bed of spinach and toasted brioche.

Really, I dream of such perfect poached eggs in my sleep!

One More Day

Hey guys, here's a little throwback to one of my favourite cities in the world. These are some of the pictures from our last day in Marrakesh, Morocco which I never put up. I'm half contemplating to come back here again at the end of the year after exchange, I don't think I saw quite enough of just the city, nor did I buy enough adorable hand painted tajines and bowls from here! Winter is really the best time to visit Morocco - apparently it gets up to 50 degrees in the summer! How can anyone stand that? But I guess it's possible to survive with the ingenious architecture of high walls that blocks the sun and uses shadows to keep everyone cool (which coincidentally, my outfit matches! And my cardigan is forest green, though you can't really see it). Anyway, here's a last photo before I take off to sleep for tonight!


Look ma, I can fly!

I'm cool like that.

Sun With Moon

Posted on Thursday, June 20, 2013

Hey guys, been a while since i've done a food post! Sun with Moon has been around for ages, and I've seen it and walked past it countless of times in Wheelock Place but somehow never got round to eating here before. Ended up here with my Bondue Camp group because it was this or Itacho, which we split into two groups and queued simultaneously on a busy Vesak Day public holiday for an hour, and Sun with Moon won at seating us faster!

Sun with Moon is definitely pricier than my normal Japanese food fix at Sushi Tei. The ambience definitely justifies this, so I just had to do a little food tasting to see if it was worth it!


Dickson's dish was the fastest to arrive, the Saba & Salmon Kamameshi ($20.80++ without soup, $22.80++ with soup) was presented to him very nicely, and after waiting for an hour in queue, it definitely looked very appetizing with the grilled mackeral and bright orange salmon roe dotting the surface! The metal bowl is actually deeper than it looks, and the soup had some fancy solid fuel thing burning below. Guess that's what you're paying for?


Thank goodness the Ebi Ten Salmon Avocado Roll (U.P. $18.00++ for 8pcs but they had a special promo of $14.40++ for 8pcs) came shortly after! It was exceedingly disappointing. I've had the phoenix roll at Sushi Tei for the same price of $14.00++ and they give a King prawn, generous amounts of avocado and even unagi along with it. This was just stingy, luckily we didn't have to pay the full price! Give this a miss!



They had a special discount for the Unagi & Salmon Sushi Set ($23.84++, U.P. $29.80++). Really worth it! I get 8 giant pieces of sushi, which all look lovely together, and have a great variety of salmon in all forms of cooked-ness and unagi. And not to mention, it also comes with a huge bowl of yummy miso salmon soup, and a chawanmushi (which i think costs like $6.00 on it's own). So yeah, I would totally choose this again if I come back!


Coco had the Beef & Foie Gras Steak ($27.04++, U.P. $33.80++). I'm honestly normally quite apprehensive of all these so called fusion food, but the portions were really generous. I don't eat beef so I can't comment on it. There was so much to eat that Coco let me have one piece of her foie gras! Super happy, although it was quite thin and not fatty enough. BUT STILL, free foie gras! Yay!

Overall I'd say I won't be coming to Sun with Moon for a while because I feel that I can get equally good Japanese food at better value. According to Kelvin, there's a new affordable jap food place just opened at Far East Plaza called The Sushi Bar, guess I'll be heading there for my next jap food craving!

Behind the Scenes - Wonderstellar Fashion Show

Posted on Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Hey guys! Here's more of what went down on the day itself of the Wonderstellar x Attica Fashion show! This isn't my first time being involved in behind the scenes stuff for fashion shows having helped organize the first Slightly Scarlet by SMU's Business Society doing the marketing and on the day wardrobe management, but this was definitely a much different experience since I was doing the photography and the hair styling (I have many secret talents i guess? Muahaha.)

Arrived early around 5:00PM on 7th June. Took some test shots during full dressed runway rehearsals because it's easier to get more angles before the club was full!

 Really lovely and friendly bunch of girls :) None of that pretentious I am a model, you are a lowly being crap. Considering they had such a short time to practice so many sets of criss cross walking and posing all over the stage, I think the models were really professional and picked it up super fast!

After that it was rush, rush, rush to prep the models for the show! There were lots of extra friendly hands around to help, and I didn't take many pictures because I was busy getting the models hair gone! Terribly envious of their long flowy hair but on the other hand you feel like crying because it takes a million years to curl!!! But they were ever so helpful anyway, helping me hold the mousse and not complaining at all about the wait.

In the mean time people were trickling in just in time for the show to begin! The photo wall was seriously tricky to work with. Note to self: Buy. A. Bigger. Flash.


Backstage and ready to rumble!


The club was really crowded by 11:00PM. Luckily I was given a media pass so that I had permission to stand at the media stand and take photos!


And the show kicks off with it's a first set - a denim themed one, with the very lovely Francesca opening up the show with Cindy and Shauna! The models were grouped in threes so that they give the other three time to change between sets. Fashion show logistics haha.


Then Stella, Michelle and Ischelle came out for the next set which is like a Little Black Dress themed one. Michelle's smoulder is too awesome already. All us backstage people were having like girl crushes on her or something! Haha.


Next up was the neon themed set! Ok, each set actually had special names, but I can't remember them now haha. But the styling was definitely cohesive for each one! And you gotta love what I told Cindy is her "Singature runway slouch" hahaha. She is adorablee.

And the last set had a romantic, flowery look! Stella is seriously photogenic, I don't think I got a single bad photo of her!!!

And once Jia Qi, the owner of Wonderstellar, gave out the best dressed prizes, the show was over! Hurrah for us all!


Backstage cam-whoring ensues. To my right is Charlotte! Whom I like to call Charlotte Mole cause when I asked her what her surname was, she pointed to her chin, and I said "MOLE?" cause I have a mole on my chin, which I guess should really have been my secondary guess (and her surname was CHIN. Whoddathunk :D)

Ok, bimbo moment aside, I really had fun that night. Great turnout for the show, great meeting new people and an opportunity to test my photographic skills. Thanks to Wonderstellar once again for making this possible!!!
