Posted on 17 May 2016 ♥

Last weekend was pure celebrating of Zav's birthday which falls on Sunday, so lucky that he didn't have to work on both days of the weekend and even managed to get an off on Friday since he only ended work on Friday morning.

14 MAY 2016!
Both of us woke up early and had fried rice for breakfast before we went to Bukit Timah for collection of Zav's birthday cupcakes around noon.

Went to get some breads from Oishii Bakery at Beauty World Centre and their bakes were amazingly good although the bakery looked pretty old.

It was raining heavily but we still managed to head to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre which was right beside BWC because Zav had an umbrella. Gone was my black velvet flats which was so damp and hurts my feet like hell, regretted not wearing a pair of slippers instead.

Collected the cupcakes from Goobycakes at 1plus before we got a bubble tea each, went to Mummy's workplace to pass her some breads before we took the bus back to Zav's place!

Customized 3 of it in Crayon Shin Chan and 3 of them in Charmander designs, all in blueberry flavours. Not a fan of fondant cupcakes but they are too pretty to resist.

Dinner that night was at The French Table (Northpoint Outlet) at about 7pm plus!

We managed to get a table without waiting and right after us, the crowd started to Q and there started to be a queue soon after we were seated.

Grape Cooler ($5.80) for Zav and Peach Cooler ($5.80) for me, not a fan of fizzy drinks so it was really just flavouring + soda water to me yet Zav is a big fan of them. Let him drink because it was his birthday eve, usually I would control his fizzy drinks consumption.

Mac & Cheese ($8.80), arrived probably 10minutes after ordering. Mushroom sauce base with cheese, pretty good but I wished there was more sauce and cheese! Overall, it's quite delicious!

Confit de Canard ($22.80) which we waited for additional 10-15minutes even after we finished the Mac & Cheese but it was worth the wait! Really crispy skin with tender meat which would be better if it was juicy, well flavoured. Mashed Potato was a plus, really smooth and goes well with the sauce that comes with it.

Bill was $50.85 inclusive of all charges and the meal was really filling, worth it!

Zav went to cut his hair after that while I went to walk around on my own and bought some durian puffs and snacks before we head back together.

Zav opened up all his cards and gifts that night, and 70% of his present, probably last week so nothing to suprise him already, spoiler!

15 MAY 2016!
Actual day of Zav's birthday and I woke up at 10plus since I couldn't get to sleep the night before and only ended up sleeping around morning.

Managed to leave house together at 11am, although we planned to leave house at 12pm but since we were both hungry, might as well!

Reached town at around 12pm and we went to Tanuki Raw for our long awaited lunch! Been wanting to try them since quite some weeks ago.

Although it was really crowded, we managed to get an table without waiting, YAY!

I had the Iced Honey Lemon ($5) which was really quite sour for me and Zav had the Lychee Fizz ($5) which was pretty good!

Foie Gras Truffle Yakiniku, pan-seared foie gras, US black angus short rib, onsen egg, truffle soy, black garlic brown butter over Tanuki's signature mixed rice ($19.90). The one that we have been wanting to try, foie gras was really soft but tends to get a bit fishy when it was slightly cold so best eaten when it's served!

Zav loves the onsen egg, total fan of runny egg yolk! Beef short rib was good but not the best, mixed rice goes well with all of them so it was so worth the hype about it!

Salmon Kaisen, a mix of salmon sashimi, aburi salmon belly, cubed spicy salmon, mentaiko seared salmon sashimi and ikura over Tanuki's signature mixed rice ($12.90). The rice actually tasted a little like sushi rice, probably due to the generous servings of salmon on top of it. This is major shiok, could have another bowl of it without rice!

Bill was $50.40 inclusive of all charges! Worth it max, prices if for 1130am to 3pm only though, their lunch hour promotion.

Walked around town because we was so freaking full after the 2 bowls of donburi!

Went for bingsu at 1plus, at O'ma Spoon (313 Outlet)! Such a long while since we last had bingsu, missed it so we went for it!

Had the Very Berry Bingsu to share, and the portion was huge! Service was fast though, managed to get our bingsu 5minutes after ordering. Ice was really milky soft, totally how I want my bingsu to be. Can't remember the exact price, either $15.90 or $17.90!

Zav K.O-ed after eating like 1/3 of it and I managed to finish the rest on my own! Champion at eating desserts!

Took our time to eat and left the place at 2plus!

Went to *SCAPE to walk around and took some wefies even though my hair was shit.

Been quite awhile since we last took some wefies and Zav's new hair was really cute, like some small boy which I kept laughing about it. 凶不起来!

Managed to spend our time walking around till almost 3plus then we head to Cineleisure for our movie which we have booked on Friday night! Captain America:Civil War!!!

Entered the theater 10minutes before it started with a drink each from the food stall of the cinema and some smuggled Caramel Popcorns from Garrett, damn sweet but really fragrant! Also bbq Chicken from Wo Ai Tai Mei. Damn shiok!

Couldn't go for dinner as planned after the movie ended because we were full from eating throughout the movie so we decided to head home instead since it was starting to rain!

Managed to got on bus because the rain got heavier!

Our dinner was a simple one at Greenridge where I had Duck Noodle while Zav had his usual Dry Ban Mian! Satisfying meal at 8pm!

And that's how Zav's birthday weekend went, simple yet we had alot of good food! HEHEHE!
