Complexity in Simplicity

TOP OF THE M

BIRTHDAY FAIRYTALE- 21st Dec' 07

The whole celebration started w a fetch! Simple things such as fetching makes me feel like a princess, enjoying such privileges which has never been in my possession before. People like my sis can never understand my joy. A little girl's contentment and joy.

In the car, i was still kept in the suspense of 'where are we going?' And i always love surprises soo much. (who doesnt?!)

And so! The place that we are going to is sitting somewhere in town. And as soon as we walked towards Meritus Mandarin, and my guess.. yes.. TOP OF THE M.

My first visit to this 'legendary' Singapore's first revolving resturant 39 storeys high up in Meritus Mandarin. It revolves. Yes, it does and it's so slow that you can only feel it even you urself are not moving v much!

The carpeted Spiral Stairs

The stairs led us to a dimly-lit w soft red lights that im so sure that im gonna have a romantic birthday dinner! ;p

The place

It feels great to see through the glass windows, down the streets and see bulbs of lights. The vehicles on the roads look slow when observed from the revolving top. Pace of citylife is reduced as we indulge in the romantic and soothing setting.

The awesome night scene, only from above

Lights

I browsed through the menu which shows long French names and oh pricey delicacies. And seriously, being my first time to such extravagance, I have no idea what I should order. But almost every dish looks interesting w its description..

Appetiser - Escargots.

maybe..maybe its because its so dim that i cant totally see what im eating that i dare to try this out. Supposedly slimy disgusting creature. Yet when it gets into my mouth, it doesnt feel as disgusting. And indeed it is heavenly..springy and lightly flavoured w various spices! The fragrance alone when serve is enough to subdue the greedy koon. hahas. if only i can tell what spices are there..

Venison Tender and Roasted Duck

I chose the Venison Tender as my main course! One reason being...i've never tried a Venison before. And i'm told that it taste like beef. And apparently its nice when eaten w the cranberry sauce and the crispy garnishes on top..(which im not too sure what are they) hahas.

OH! but what surprised me is Jer's Roasted Duck. It definitely doesnt taste like any other coffee shops or food courts duck. If i werent told that was a duck, i would have think that its something else. TAsty~~ hahas. and i love his potato salad! Heaven mix of the sour cream, bacon bits and potato..yummie yummie yummie! =P

Sinful but too sinful to resist

And how can we go off without trying one of the best desserts! THE SEVEN SINS. Its really sinful...each one of them is so thick in its taste. Yet each of them are distinct in either its texture or taste. Close your eyes and u'll still be able to guess correctly which one u're tasting!!

And my favourite among the seven is the one in the eggshell! The whole texture that is smoothly mixed as if its really mixed w egg yolk(is there egg yolk in it? im still wondering,hahas) . Slight bitterness. LOVE IT!!

lovely lovely lovely~~~

Trios - Singing 'Love will keep US alive'

My heart raced like mad when this song was sung..once again, im conquered by the charming electrocuting pair of eyes >.<

That was the first song sung. The second song was Desperado, all by Eagles. It only proves further the point of the importance of classic songs for a romantic and class setting.

Happy birthday to myself :)

But i kinda dread it, Coz when 19 comes, 20 comes next.

The couple shot.

Xmas.xmas.

A shot near the entrance of Top of the M, before we depart the place.
And time taken to revolve one round is approx 2 hrs!

Style.

Taken along the mirror at the Observatory Lounge at the 38th floor, where we were at on the 3rd Aug 07. The second date if im right. That date is one of the most memorable ones.. w the great being so contemplative. Another place of memories! :)

Another emotional Blackmail.

Thank you my dear for the wonderful birthday dinner! It made me felt so special and pampered, so different from any other birthday celebrations I had over the past 19 years. hahas. i'll try not to be too mushy. So, i'll just end off again w a big big big 'Thank You' and 'Love you!' >.<

and lastly.. Thanks to all my ladies who brought me presents and all others for ur wishes..^^ im aldy happy enough to know that u guys remember. Arigatos~!
