可愛茶

It's one hour before this Japanese Restaurant 'Sun with Moon' would serve dinner. I ordered roasted tea to tie over the hour.

The set of little teapot, with the littler teacup and the littlest mochi was a very sweet surprise. Due to its little stature, I had it refilled twice before it was time (6.30pm).

Roasted tea leaves aroma is a beautiful dreamy taste...

Remembrance of Dad

While caressing my pencil case (doggy in the pic), I realised how true Dad's observation is: I am uncharacteristically 'yang o' when I fall ill. I would speak with more girlish dependance, stroke stuff toys, hide myself under thick blanket on a hot afternoon, etc.

I talk with absolution. I do not caress or hug stuff toys and do not manja. But when I fall ill, these change. And then, though I tell the whole world I'm not ill (not knowing that I'm really ill), Dad and Mum will know it's anytime soon.

Only one other person has added to these observations: my need for good food when I'm not well or unhappy. Ha ha... These are precious - people taking time to notice you :) majority of the world does not.

Feet gallery

Trains in Singapore are a live gallery of all WALKS of life.

From the foot on the left, I guessed he's from Burma, next to him, a man in the same shirt as him is fast asleep with half of his face covered by his long wavy fringe. From his footwear alone, I would think he's from singapore!

And what do you think of the bare feet?

Dinner at Parco Millenia Walk

On the third floor, there is a hidden surprise - a cluster of Japanese restaurants around an Italian restaurant!

Pasta, chocolate and Consomme soup was shocking goodness to my tastebuds. Truly better than all italian food I've tried.

Across where we sat, there's a permanent queue (short but. Permanent) outside the Japanese restaurant. And they specialise in ramen.

I love Millenia Walk for its seclusion, for its mild patrons and its nearness to Promenade MRT :)

Dinner with friends are good

Ironcast Teapot

The usual price of this teapot is $183 at Tangs Orchard. I got it at a sale!

I was in love with this kind of tea after I saw it being used by a salesman at Isetan. The tea he poured out from his teapot was so refreshing, I bought the tea immediately. And my mind was plagued with images of the iron teapot.

No place carries that teapot! imagine the happy encounter of discovering it at Tangs! The joy, however, was short-live. The price stole it all.

An interlude is needed here: the tea I bought did not taste as good as it did as Isetan. What did I do wrong? I suspected the teapot. For those of you who knows little of my royally sensitive taste buds and sense of smell, you would think my desires have taken over my frame of mind.

After possessing the teapot at the sale, I did a research on it. It rusts!!!! Without careful attempts to ensure it's dry, it will rust. Why is it so expensive? Why do people want it?

It does produce better taste!!! It emits iron into the water, and maintains an even temperature for at least an hour. And today, I drank it. Everything mentioned in the websites about testubin (Japanese term for this kind of teapot) was true!!!
