Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my daddy’s birthday.

To celebrate his birthday, we went to eat at Nadamen at Shangri-La. It was so awesome! Even though it is a bit tad high class, the ambiance was not at all stuffy, and the service staff were so helpful and friendly.

Look at the sumptuous lunch that we had!

From the menu, I chose the beef teppanyakki lunch set. It costs $55. Really worth it. I heart the scallop and cod fish. The vegetables were a little bit too salty for my liking, but the rest of the menu was great! I heart the vanilla ice-cream too. To round off the sweet deal, the good people of Shangri-La gave my dad a complimentary cake.

Happy birthday daddy!

PS: Shangri-La is currently having “flash your age” promotion. On your birthday you are entitled to discounted meals (according to your age - if you are 60 years old, your discount is 60% - how fantastic is that).  Call 67373644 to make reservations. You have to be quick because there is a quota daily.

Christian Lacriox Showcase

Today’s entry will be in honour of Christian Lacriox, French couture fashion designer extraordinaire.

The National Museum of Singapore has been showcasing Lacriox’s costume designs for the opera, theatre, dance, and music since March this year. It will close tomorrow.

Be wowed by the gorgeous collection of couture gowns and suits. Lacriox is a true visionary. I was so annoyed at myself for forgetting to bring a proper camera and thus was only able to snap poor shots of the display using my camera phone.

Here are some drool-worthy gowns that he created. (His gowns are stunning even though I snapped the pictures using a lousy camera phone.)

And his sketches.

My pictures don’t do justice to his showcase! You have to visit the showcase. It is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s.
