Delightful Day of Decadent Dining

Ladies who Lunch :D

It felt like i was working in the United Nations today and the entire office was a flurry of activity with our APAC business unit heads all gathering in the Singapore office for their meetings.

Needless to say, everybody wanted a piece of the guppy too. By late noon I could not take it any longer , I had to get out of the office for some serious "time out". I messaged Fluffy Pearl as she was working nearby and before you know it we were hiding out at the Aroma Cafe at the ICON for some serious relaxing (extended) lunch session :D

It's always nice to catch up with friends to see how they are doing hee catch up on some gossip, Its even better if your friends are working near you, Lunch then becomes something you can seriously look forward to - beats a work/sales/networking related power lunch anytime!


Heee ofcourse Fluffy and I had to camwhore! Hey if you are cute, flaunt it!

Aroma had excellent chicken and mushroom melts! definitely a must try!

Fluffy strikes a pose - there is no justice she eats ALOT but never gets fat! Where the hell does all that food go? her ears? *jealous*

Camwhoring is fun when done in pairs! ha ha ha ha!

After our cheesy main course, Ofcourse we had to have dessert! Chocolate Praline cake for Fluffy


Oreo Cheesecake for happie little guppies!

Sigh, I am sad though , once Fluffy moves on to her spanking new job next month, sobss...there will be no more fancy tai tai lunch kaki for this guppy no more.

Seriously think i am one blessed little guppy, I think i get too many opportunities to eat so well! How the hell am I supposed to lose weight? when there are so many gastronomical delights to savour?


Chiili Crab Cravin...with the SES Alumni

See what i mean? after such a delightful lunch, dinner was another decadent affair :P

Caught up with EM, Cap, Yummy over a decadent seafood dinner at Jumbo Seafood restaurant in the evening. Our united goal - Chilli crabs! Its amazing how once you have made a connection whether at work or in your social life, you can always re-connect again even if you had not made contact over a period of time.

I had a great time, catching up on Yummy, Em and Cap's lives, it feels great to see that everyone has moved on to better things. In between licking the chilli crab sauce off our fingers we managed to update each other about the men in our lives, our work, our joys, hahahaa bitch about the women we know who have truly made it to "TAI TAI" status with their rich husbands , nannys, chefs, maids in tow..while we still slug it out in the corporate world trying to earn our keep :P ha ha ha too bad 2 couldnt make it though but it was an awesome foursome dining experience!


The Awesome Foursome striking a pose!

Presenting our sumptuous feast! - Oatmeal prawns!


Seaweed tofu with mushrooms...


Roast chicken mashed with squid -yes its a wierd dish the chicken flesh has been mashed with squid and then reassembled under chicken skin again..erm..tasted like squid balls not that great

The Piece De Resistance - and the real reason /excuse for our girly gathering...Chilli crabs! and our delish - greedy order of 20 pieces of fried mantou yum yum!


Guppies only know how to eat the "Gong" ( claw) Im hopeless I dont know how to eat the other parts of the crab no clue where to begin :P

Sweets for the sweet!

Naturally, after such a sumptuous feast of savory seafood, we need to round off our evening with some top notch sweets to complete our evening. After polishing of our last chilli crab piece we headed down to Ricciotti - Italian Deli and Pastry to sample their delightful desserts! - and ofcourse carry on with more glorious gossip and girl talk!

Nope no wine for us tonight, we just want to get high on sugar!

Theres always room for dessert!

All in all i had a most delightful day of indulent overeating and great company..cant wait to do it again soon ...

So how was your day happie gupsters? Did you spend it with glorious food and great company too?
