Mangio troppissimo

With Christmas coming up and our 'winter' rainy season creeping in, we all got the munchies and had been stuffing our faces at every excuse. First it was No's big 30th birthday and we celebrated it at Bombay Cafe last Friday. It was this shocking-pink kitschy Indian joint at Tanjong Katong, splashed with posters and videos of our preferito Bollywood idol Shahrukh Khan. After a delightful dinner, we managed to shock N with a special Shahrukh's cake with his message of love in Hindi. Hehe.

The next week we then went to My Humble House where No made special arrangements with the Chef to whip up a brilliant 5-course pranzo. The pumpkin soup alone was to-die-for while desserts were always a fun affair. We were literally on cloud nine as the dry ice bubbled away in our ice-piled bowls of fruits and sweets.

Various ideas were cast and tossed aside for our company Xmas lunch - it was always a huge dilemma to please everyone's tastebuds and expectations. In the end, everyone nodded to The Moomba, one of our favourite restaurants for consistency and comfort. After making heartfelt toasts fuelled by the lovely Champagne Francois H, I slurped down 5 slippery oysters, followed by a fig-rocket-blue cheese insalata then the roasted quail. Mmmm. I could feel Lipoma beaming with delight, she loves good food as much as me.
