Buffet buffet

Selamat Hari Raya! On this very first day of a 4-day long weekend, I just slept in and lazed at home. As it draws to an end, I thought I will finish off this post which I started last weekend....

Been to 2 buffets in July. It's kind of funny because I have not had buffet for a long time and when I have it again, it was 2 days in a row! The first was to Crab Feast at Plaza Brasserie where I had 9 types of crabs! Was so busy crabbing that I did not take any photos! Not the yummiest of crabs but definitely value for money offering a feast with oysters, sashimi and a wide variety of food! Think there was a 1 free diner for every 3 diners promotion.

The other buffet was at Furama Hotel, Tiffany Cafe & Restaurant which offers more local dishes - check out the photos for a flavour. There was a 1-for-1 promotion, so quite worth it. Otherwise, I don't think so.


Salad bar - the Green Apple and Honey Dew salad was quite nice. And I thought the Tuna Salad went very well with bread.


Fresh prawns.


Curry prawns - the curry went very well with bread. I love the bread bar! :)
 
Sushi.


Dessert Bar!


Durian Puree!


Dessert Round 1! LOL.


Like the cookies and meringues to go with chocolate fondue!
 

Definitely a very ''full'filling weekend :P Have a great one, everyone. And for those in Singapore, enjoy the longest weekend of the year! :)

Princely Treasures@National Museum of Singapore

It was Open House at the National Museum of Singapore last weekend and admission was free for all exhibitions. So I went to see the exhibition Princely Treasures - with pieces from Liechtenstein. As I shared in my Instagram, it made me missed Europe. Very much.
  
Beautiful Saturday morning :) One of my favourite places in Singapore :)

It was to see Princely Treasures this time. The Open House saved me $10 :P See Raphael?


Cannot remember the details of these two paintings. But I like them :)

Neo-classical pieces, I think

Not many sculptures on display...

Got to see more pieces from Netherlands artists.

Quite interesting.

Van Dyke, I think. Like taken off a camera. With technology, we will probably never ever see such fine works in the future...

Symbols of Rome. I miss Italy.

Venice - Clock Tower.

Discovered a new kind of art genre - Biedermeir Art. More high brows.

Found it kind of gothic...

Definitely worth a visit :)


The National Museum of Singapore has changed so much. Food for Thought is there. So is Kerbside. Interesting retail mix.
Go catch Princely Treasures if you can - it's on till September. Rare to see such a nice collection of European art in Singapore. Was actually quite surprise that it was not crowded for free admission last week... I did listen in to the guided tour on and off and I thought the guides were good. Might go again if there is another open house :P

Sephora Hot Wheels

TGIF! Thought I will post this before the weekend so you can try to catch the Sephora Hot Wheels which I heard will be moving to Jems Shopping Centre...

At Vivo City last Sunday! Picture was taken after the free express manicure. Was surprised to see no queues and I got my nails done in a twinkle :) Was a beautiful day!

Mint. From Butter. My blink blink collar t-shirt is from Suwon, Korea. 


Spotted the Sephora bus again today at Lau Pa Sat :P This time, there were more people so I had time to snap a few pictures :)


Ciata. Did my nails with Ciata products this time.


How the express manicure stations look like....

Rows of Butter.
 
Posing with my new nails colour and the goody from the goodie bag I got last Saturday.
 
The nails look really pink in real life. But prettier in reel life :P
Glad I spotted the bus today because I don't think I will be near Jems tomorrow. Good opportunity to try the bright colours, I say :) Some of the students in front of the queue asked for a different pop of colour on each nail!!!年轻真好!
