Nostalgic Russian dinner

After a friend's post about Shaslik we went back for a nostalgic trip to this one place - fusion Russian Singaporean restaurant - that still has tables decorated with plastic pink flowers, at this age.

The meal started with the mandatory soft sweet bun, where eaten with the butter is heavenly soft. Then opened with the mandatory famous Borsch soup - which served with optional sour cream. I opted for Fillet Steak medium rare - and yes they serve the steak on hotplate with serving of mixed veggie (cubed carrot, kacang polong and all), and frizzy fries. We had fun watching the waitress preparing the Flambees or the Baked Alaska - cherry, but decided too full for desserts.

Promontory meet up and MBS

Marina bay sands Photo outing.

For this clubSnap outing, I went to have my first Tripod. The guys at TK Photo Funan Mall are very friendly and knowledgable. They patiently explained the feature of 4 sections, ball head, the tripod setup, the long- and short- section, the low-ground setup, etc. I ended up purchasing Sirui K-1204 and G10x head from them, as a set for $349 as well as Kinko Pro-1 58mm lens filter and a lens hood from them. Here is a review from Clubsnap forum on the tripod and head combi. I will most probably write my own review then.

K-KI

My discovery at Ann Siang Hill. Just opposite my place, there is a famous small bakery called K-Ki (supposed to meant Cake in Jap katakana style). It shared a tiny space with a knick-knack shop. The whole place definitely has a definite charm to it. It has around 5 tables - wooden with the flimsy whimsical chairs pair next to it. When I was there majority of cakes were sold out or reserved.

So I chose this one: Cafe Dumo ~ chocolate mousse

For take away it came with a pretty box and small ice-pack glued to the side to keep the cake in good shape.

Yummmy.

Captain America

Today had productive day. I went to mass, first time at the Church of St. Teresa - Kg Bahru Rd. I love the songs - the same set one from the Church of St Mary of the Angels. Oh how my heart signs with joy. The mass there at 1030 and another one at 12pm for now.

Then, went for quick lunch before catching the Captain America: the First Avenger. Chris Evans is so very cute and heart-meltingly sincere. It was an entertaining ride thru American patriotism, the WW II and the crazy warzone fighting. The scene I most enjoyed is the first part - with the frail little boy and his journey of discovering his fate. The rest felt right, but also predictable. You should not miss the clip after the ending credits - we almost left, luckily we didn't. I read somewhere that the hallmark of Marvel comic is the great character developments and plots. I have to agree on the way the director Joe Johnston portrayed the movie - from a pretty outdated settings at WW II to the modern day's patriotism and valor.

My most favourite song

In this lonely night, singing the song that is best for anyone looking for soulmate outthere.
