The cards with one of the recipes: Chocolate Mi-cuit with Hazelnut & Vanilla Ice cream

Mi-cuit means “half-cooked” in French. Therefore, this dessert dish is basically molten chocolate with vanilla ice cream and hazelnut topping :) Sounds droolingly delectable?

I bought these cards (for a price of $16!) when I went to SSO’s concert at the Esplanade on Friday evening. The conductor was none other than SSO’s founder, Choo Huey- hence the 2-hour concert was titled “Choo Huey’s Return”. The 3 classical pieces played which embarrassingly to say, I’m familiar with none (despite 5 years of piano-training), weren’t that melodious (hahaha!). At least I didn’t fall asleep ok! Aside from soaking in the music played, I learnt the “protocols” of concert attending, such as the 10 minute early arrival, “clapping till your hands hurt” encore and the cute “bell-ring-ring” to inform the attendees that the interval will be ending etc.

It was a nice experience, with dessert at Prego Ristorante later on. I didn’t bring my camera, so no pictures!

Shall go back to Prego again (with camera this time round)! The Tiramisu (a whopping $15!) was the best I’ve ever tried as the light custard was not too rich, just appropriate for the spongecake layer.

Sweet sweets! ^-^

`Prego Ristorante is an authetic Italian restaurant at Fairmont Hotel.

Sudden overwhelm of gatherings, maybe because the end of the year is approaching.

I can’t seem to keep up with so many things to plan & do :(

And the flu bug’s here again, damn!

Drowning already! The holidays seem so short.

Went back to my secondary school yesterday morning for a brief meeting. Honestly I didn’t quite intend to commit because it isn’t just school work that’s keeping me busy, and I don’t want to cram my life up with so many activities that will leave me with no breathing space. But after an hour of discussion, I realized how much it would mean to my juniors, for me to fork out just a bit of my (limited) free-time and together with my peers of years, contribute back to my institution – which no doubt is, my second home from 2001-2004. It shall be a good start :)

Bought a pack of 6 greeting cards from Singapore Symphony Ochestra. So what’s so special about these cards?

They contain a recipe in each card :)
