Never underestimate the power of an oven-toasted baguette, brie, roasted ham, and fig jam. (No fig jam? Apricot jam would do.)

What I did was this:

1. Slice baguette lengthwise and oven-bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
2. Remove baguette halves and spread fig jam on both sides. Lay sliced brie cheese on one side.
3. Place both halves into toaster and toast till cheese has melted. Alternatively, place both halves into oven and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
4. Place slices of ham onto baguette halves and clamp shut. And enjoy your sandwich of awesomeness!

Some chocolate berry cake thing from 1 Caramel.

Very rich, and very delicious. Love the ambience too. They have a weekday tea-time special, I think it's $10 for a slice of cake and gourmet tea. They have a pretty fancy selection of gourmet teas.

Went to Loof.

Cute right?

We had the first three: The Tom Yum, Poached Pear & Saffron Martini, and The Gummiberry.

Something about the woman in the red dress luxuriating on the red leather seats kinda appeals to me. Her pose too. Very sensuous.

Both drinks were fantastic. The Tom Yam was a very seamless, well-integrated drink that didn't taste like someone added a dash of liquor to tom yam soup or something like that. The Gummiberry was good too. It was an ice-blended berry smoothie, but the fact that you drink it through the layer of French meringue adds a creamy texture and sweet taste that makes the overall drink taste like a gummy bear. Very ingenious.

I also went to Orgo, but the drinks themselves were kinda unphotogenic so they're not going up here. Or they might, I'm too lazy to edit them now. D:
