playing favorites

I now have a new favorite dress in my closet....

..another one of my fab finds!! I bought it for 165 pesos (roughly US $4!!). I'm definitely going back to that thrift store.

Today, I had lunch at Orchard Road (again) with my friend Raiza. I tried the Lemon Fish served with fried egg and rice, while Raiz had Chicken Curry with rice. We also ordered shrimp dumplings. Unfortunately, I didn't like the Lemon Fish. The fish (deep-fried batter-coated fillets) was okay, although it was a bit bland. The lemon part wasn't really appetizing for me. It was like the fish was just topped with lemon jam or chutney. I wish they cooked the lemon chutney with the deep-fried fillets. This would've made the dish tastier. I don't really get the role of the egg because it didn't add anything to the entire dish. I ate the egg because I couldn't eat the fish anymore. On a positive note, the Chicken Curry was REALLY good. I'm a sucker for curry, and I tell you the curry sauce was just superb. The right amount of heat, and the flavor was just...wow. The shrimp dumplings weren't bad, either. I'd definitely go back to Orchard Road even just for the dumplings. I mentioned in my previous entry that I'd have to assess the place based on new dishes I've tried. The only thing I can say about Orchard Road is that it needs to be consistent. Make every dish great. An officemate of mine told me that she and her friends also ordered the Lemon Fish before and they didn't like it too. So yeah, I think Orchard Road's a nice place to have a filling meal in but there should be more consistency in terms of the taste of all the dishes. FYI: Orchard Road is on the 2nd floor of Mega Mall Bldg. A (beside Skin Food).

Looks yummy...but not really :( I hope that they'll improve this dish.

Yummy shrimp dumplings!!

To-die-for Chicken Curry!

And if you must know...I STILL did not go to Forever 21. Must. Save. For. GORGEOUS. Shoes.

dress week

I'm obviously in the mood to just wear dresses this week. Well, I'm still thinking if I should wear my jumpsuit tomorrow or wear another one of my fab finds. It'll all depend on my mood when I wake up.

I wore another thrifted dress today for work. Surprise surprise, it's not black, gray, or brown hahaha! It's..ummm...greenish. I forgot the exact shade. It doesn't look green in the pictures, though. Looks a bit blue. Whatever, it's really a deeper shade of green.

Anyway, I got a bit peeved this evening because I had to wait for my mom for almost two hours before she was able to pick me up. I know it's not her fault, but...yeah. I was in no mood to talk when she finally picked me up. I could've commuted home, but I had 2 big bags with me and a camera so taking the MRT and jeep home wouldn't be a good idea. Best part of the evening was dinner at Orchard Road in Megamall. I had the Hainanese Chicken Rice. It was pretty good. I'll go back and try other dishes. I'll have to research more about the place. I've been reading a few reviews about the place. Pretty mixed opinions about it. I'd really have to try the dishes for myself to assess if it's worth going back to or not. I must say, the prices are reasonable. Dinner kept my mind off Forever 21 on the same floor, haha!

Pretty lamps...I want those for my room :))
