Anti:dote @ Fairmont Hotel

By -
Finally it's the long awaited Saturday where Pigg and I will be going for high tea at Fairmont Hotel Anti:dote Lounge to celebrate our third year together!🏻 

I have been looking forward to this day since the beginning of April as reservations are not easy to make for this well sought after high tea, especially for a Saturday.

Anti:dote features two high tea menus with different appetisers- Anti:dote tea and oriental tea. We called for Anti:dote tea as the oriental tea appetisers was dim sum and I preferred Western when it comes to high tea. The appetizer for the Anti:dote tea also looks more worth the price. And of course, Anti:dote tea scrambled eggs is more popular as recommended by the staff.

Our reservation was for the 12-2pm seating as it was as fully booked from 3-5pm, hence, we skipped breakfast to enjoy brunch!


Me giving a "Don't disturb me while I enjoy my tea" look.

Anti:dote offers a selection of  TWG teas to pair and complete the afternoon tea experience.
As recommended by the staff for a sweet blend, I ordered the Vanilla Bourbon red tea which exudes a sweet scent and feel really smooth. 


Here comes our appetizer- which looks like a dinosaur egg.
Plated nicely in a black plastic egg shell, contains the eggy goodness of the land and sea- sea urchin, salmon roe and caviar atop their organic scrambled eggs.


The plating is very cute and creative and its taste is just so good! 


Pigg looked like he gained enlightenment after tasting one bite of the eggy goodness.


Right after our appetizer, the beautiful jewelry box filled with lots of sweets came! 
How I wish my jewelry box will look like this, so colourful and pretty!


The top of the jewelry box are the pretty sweets. Love the strawberry cream cone the most!


First drawer are the savory pastries which tasted better than their pretty desserts


Second drawer are the warm chia seed and cheese square scones


Last but not least, the last drawer are sugar cookies and Devonshire clotted cream, raspberry jam and lemon curd to go along with the scones.


Have to take a selfie with the pretty desserts before tucking into them.


Then wefie 


Thanks Pigg for bringing me to enjoy this high tea

Overall the high tea experience was good, with a quiet and peaceful ambience. It was a great afternoon spent. The presentation for the food is really nice which makes up for the desserts which did not taste as wonderful as they look.

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Korea day 6

In the morning after breakfast, we set off to some Korean Palace     This is my favorite picture   After that, we went to a crystal shop, gingseng shop and 肝保店. At the amethyst shop, we bought some amethyst keychains while at the gingseng shop, we bought some gingseng candy and stuff. After that, we went for lunch at a ship restaurant.     There, we had Korean Steamboat and...   Bibimbap! I always thought bibimbap would not taste nice as there is egg yolk and beef in it. But the authentic bibimbap just taste so delicious! With the simmering hot plate, you can cook your rice for a while, after that you can add condiments and the ikan bilis! It is just like pepper lunch, but nicer and tastier! And fun, as you can cook your own lunch and have it whilst its hot.     After lunch, we went to a facial shop where we were taught how to cleanse, tone, moisturise, and take car...
