All Day Breakfast On His Birthday

Had breakfast with Aslene this morning at "Hatched" (cute site with inverted "3"s that takes time to load. Be patient.). Always wanted to go there for breakfast on the Mondays when I used to bring Seo Yeon for classes at Julia Gabriels @ Evans Road. Pity they were always closed on Mondays. I wanted to go there even more when Aslene told me about this restaurant "Hatched" that she wanted to go to too because she heard that the food there was yum. So what better place to meet her at for brunch? Why, at "Hatched", where they serve "egg-inspired all-day breakfast"!

Service there gets 6-stars (out of 10), maybe they just aren't "morning people"? Haha... Food? Well... All I can say that maybe Aslene and I weren't very good at choosing good stuff from the menu. The food that others ordered looked gastronomical. Ours just looked at tasted like.... normal breakfast? Despite the fancy name 'Hitch Me Up'.

Brunch at Hatched

Ok, now, to catch some celebration lunch (or breakfast?) with PapaKim at "Wild Honey". Another all-day breakfast concept restaurant, this time situated in bustling Orchard Road, was my breakfast-theme eatery of the day. This was recommended by Aslene, whose opinion I did trust a lot especially when it comes to food, because her husband is a chef. LOL.

I think "Californian" beats "Italian" hands down. A pity that it totally slipped my mind to order the dish that Aslene recommended....

My Day

PapaKim brought us girls out for dinner today to celebrate my birthday. In order to reminisce the days we had yummy BBQ clams by the sea, he decided to bring me to eat BBQ clams at a Korean restaurant that brought the clams in from Jeju Island.

But of course, how could a air-conditioned restaurant setting compare to the beautiful sight and sounds that are found by the sea? Nevertheless, I think I enjoyed the quality of the clams and most of all, the company!

The girls were having fun looking at the clams go "Pop!" when they were cooked, but they drew the line there. "Uh uh, no way, Mom, I'm not going to eat that strange looking piece of flesh in the shell." So, great! PapaKim and I had the clams all to ourselves! Not to forget, a cool, refreshing bottle of soju to complement these fresh clams. Oh, and there were 3 mini octopuses too..

The Full Monty! on Father's Day

I never thought I would have the chance to see such a wide "variety" of men stripping for me. Think "fantasy". Haha... Cat granted me this couple of months back when the tickets were available for sale. She managed to get us lovely circle seats right smack in the centre!

I was very excited to see Adrian Pang (one of the local male actors that I really admire and favour) and Hossan Leong. Cat also mentioned that Bernice's teacher, Daniel Jenkins, was acting. The actors were all wonderful on stage, giving their all for this famous movie-made-musical set in Chicago. And Cat and I agreed that Andy Hockley was also good to watch with his effortless ways of bringing out the character he was playing.

I loved the fact that the director, Tracie Pang, tried to tell the story on "how far a man would go for his family". This heartwarming story struck a chord with me. Though I am not a man, I could easily relate to this story as it reminded me of the extent that I went to for my daughters when I decided to take a break from working.

I think Pangdemonium!'s inaugural production really worked for me! Like-minded friends, please do go watch!  

So, what happened to Father's Day? Well, we already had a celebration for the Fathers in the family the day before by dining out at a newly-opened Japanese restaurant (buffet) at the Heeren. So do not worry, we did not forget the Papas!

Brunch with Jael

Oh wow... what a belated brunch. This should have taken place much earlier. I can't find the right words to describe this meeting with my friend, Jael (a.k.a. the underground artist, lol). We haven't had a real conversation like what we had this morning for ages. I'm just so glad that we both found the time to catch up. 


Seo Yeon fell asleep just by listening to us chattering incessantly. There was just so much to say, share and listen to... What have we missed out all this while?

Jael, I'm glad that you're back in my life now, our friendship refreshed. Thanks for this shot of Seo Yeon.
