My B'day

to make up for not celebrating my b'day last year, i decided to treat myself this year... :)
starting with a 1/2 hr massage+1/2 hr facial and a glass of champagne (for $49...gotta love scoopon!)

followed by Friday Prix Fixe lunch - 3 course meal plus amuse bouche and pre-dessert for $45 - at Marque, named restaurant of the year in the 2011 Good Food Guide Awards

owl wallet from Mushu, dweebing out at Naritas (I won at Chinese Checkers hahaha!)

and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World...how funny is that movie; the sound track is awesome

Lunch with the gang at Emmilou, Surry Hills, it was ok. Got some awesome pressies - a flight lesson voucher, Stories by Neil Gaiman, and...a frying pan, which i asked for...lol

the chocolate sundae was surprisingly good!

Chefs Gallery, new restaurant in town - a worthy rival of Din Tai Fung! much better variety at better prices, but no Xiao Long Bao, and we think they are going to up the price soon, when they print more of their much needed menus lol. Still, the quality of the food is pretty high, not to mention the hard work they put into the desserts (piggy sesame buns, mini sweet pumpkins)...get there early to avoid the queues!

Then back to YY's place to chill...and yes, eat more. That's what birthdays are for...good times with good people :)
