pork ribs & bar hopping

Pork Ribs, yummss, double yumsSs...

nice & romantic place to be with a date. coming with a friend makes me feel a little out of place, but heck, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we don't really care if there isn't a bottle of wine on our table, or we're not whispering to each other all the time, or even if none of us is carrying an LV or at least a Gucci bag here. :D

Looking at the menu, i see pork, pork and pork!
I was confused for a moment and just let my other friend to decide..

For starters, we had the deep fried cheese cubes with honey. Not too bad, but a little weird for me as the cheese was not really melted nicely in the inside. These will make a good base for your stomach if you have drinking plans later at night. However, I saw the other table ordered a plate full of 'siu yuk' and I couldn't help but stared. Wished that I had ordered that too... :(

As for the main dish, we settled down for the Barbarian PORK Ribs and boy, the dish came and I felt like a barbarian already. The piece of rib was so humongous and I stumbled for a moment on how to get started. We also asked for helped from the waiter to cut our ribs. Hahahahs... Real yumSssss this one here!!

The aftermath of our barbarian moments:

No wine that night, we had some german beer instead.
Great dinner!!

After dinner, we went bar hopping!!! went to 3 different places and drank so much till I could just sleep on the road. :p

Places and the drinks we had:

- Ribs, Vintry, Bangsar; german beer
- Bambo9, TTDI; cocktails - Illusions & Tequila Sunrise
- HQNine, TTDI; cocktails - Margarita & Martini -double shot
- Finnegans Irish Pub, Hartamas; Snake Bite Beer & Cranberry vodka tea?

My best buy from Queen Helene's http://www.queenhelene.com/ - Mint Julep masque & Cocoa Butter facial scrub. :D



Yes, we thought that someone is on a shopping ban and is not allowed to buy anything this month. At least, that's what my friend told me and my reply was, "I only ban myself from buying clothes, shoes & bags. Skincare is excluded". Hahahs.


I couldn't stop at the bargain, it's going really cheap and what more, it's a good brand in the US. These 2 are the star buy and I needed a facial scrub badly after I finished my Clinelle scrub. I'm slowly upgrading my skincare products and I'm officially on a mission to look for my HG products. :D


I've been using the Cocoa Butter facial scrub for 3 days and so far, my skin has no irritation or big reactions towards it. It leaves my skin super smooth and soft! And I'm talking bout real soft here! Have to admit that I couldn't stop touching my face after that for an hour.. *imagine me rubbing my face every now and then, hehehs* I have also just learnt from Fuz that we can actually use our facial scrub to exfoliate our lips. Therefore, I tried it today and I was basically scrubbing my entire face + lips. Hahahs. We'll see if I'll get kissable lips in a while after a few scrubbing sessions.


As for the Mint Julep masque, tried it for 1 time and I can't really see any results so far, =p

Vary Pasta

We wanted to go out for a nice dinner after my Adidas run. Slept till around 8pm and managed to wake up just nice for dinner. The first place in my mind was Omitsu Koshi, our usual spot for nice and cheap Japanese food, somewhere near Atria, DJ. Unfortunately, the place was full and the waiters were so buzy that they didn't even notice us standing there. My stomach was growling so fiercely and therefore, we left the place and settled in our 2nd choice, Vary Pasta.

Honestly, the exterior of the place don't look inviting and the place was pretty empty. We were reluctant to go in at the first place but after looking at the menu, we decided to give it a try. The menu looks good, they served Western, Spanish, German and fusion. I think the stars are the grilled lamb/ steaks/ sausages.


We ordered the Seafood Paella and a Hungarian sausage platter. The paella was so so only compared to Cava's paella. Hehehs. Hungarian smoked sausages were real good! Thumbs up for this one here.

Might come back again to try some other dishes. Maybe the steaks or lamb shanks or pork knuckles. :D
