Thai Food

We had Thai food for dinner yesterday night. It was at my favourite and most recommendable restaurant!!! Food was authentic and of course delicious!!!!... Have been to this restaurant multiple times. So far, have yet to find any dishes that we disliked. Everything was just awesome.
Brought Scott and Paul to this restaurant.... and they love it especially Paul - this guy can really take spicy food!!!! Kudos to him!!!!!

The guys at the table (why was I not there?? Ai yo... taking pictures for them lah... hahaha...)

Shrimp Rangoon
Tasty Deep Fried Wanton with shrimp and cheese!!!
(it was supposed to be 6 pieces.... but everyone were hitting at it once it was placed on our table)

Stuffed Chicken Wings
Look yummy?? It was indeed yummy!!!!

Very Spicy Tom Yum Kung
Paul and I shared a pot with 5 stars spiciness while Hubby and Scott shared another pot with 3 stars spiciness..... U guys must have thought that my hubby was not good at spicy food. Hey... U are darn wrong!!!! Hubby loves spicy food and he can handle it well!!!!! (that's one of our common food interests). Apparently, Hubby was taking 3 star spiciness as he was supposed to shared it with Scott who found that 3 stars was too spicy for him too... I noticed hubby spooning in plenty of hot spice into the soup to bring his to 5 stars as well....

Pepper & Garlic Chicken with a pot of rice somewhere out there.. (forgot to take the picture lah!)

Panang Curry chicken with coconut milk.
This is my Hubby's most favourite dish. Oh... Scott loves it too!!

Mixed Vegetables with tofu... I love Veggie.....

Special Roast Duck topped with honey and sesame
It would be perfect if the skins were more crispy......

And lastly, we had our MUST HAVE Mango Sticky Rice as dessert. Most of the time, the restaurant has very very sweet mango. Sorry....I had totally forgotten about taking pictures of it...... Next time then....

Sushi Boat Restaurant in San Jose

Hubby and I got our sushi fix at Sushi Boat Restaurant in San Jose.

You can have the option of dining at a table or at the bar. Since Hubby and I were very hungry, we opted for the bar (accessed to the food faster mah...). Anyhow, the idea is similar to conveyor-belt sushi. However, it is a water pump that pushes the water around and the "little boats" float on the water with the current. The boats are decked with plates of sushi and rolls.

Not many varieties of sushi on the boats. But, you can order other sushi and hand rolls from the menu which the chef will prepare immediately. Other typical Japanese dishes include tempura, teriyaki dishes, udon noodle soup etc.

Sushi and Rolls on the little boat. (apologies for blurry pictures... the boat moved too fast lah!)

More blurry pictures of Sushi and Rolls...

Can't wait!!!! Tucked in immediately... Heehee

More foodszzzzzz

Eating my favourite Salmon Skin Hand Roll.... I had 2 of them!!!!!

Another favourite dish of mine...... Soft Shell Crab!!!!!!!!! I "HAVE" to eat the whole plate all by myself since Hubby dislikes fried food.... No choice... I have to sacrifice loh... (haha... what a good excuse hor....)

Dresses and Denims

In my previous posting, I mentioned that I got some dresses from San Jose and all of which were on SALE.
However, 2 of the dresses were still FULL price at other stores!!!!! and I mean STORES ah!!!!!
Sometimes.... one really needs shopping luck to find great deals/bargains. And I had shopping luck that particular day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Mwahahaha).

These were the 3 dresses which I hunted.

Vince Colour-Block Slouch Dress ( this was still full price in other stores)

Vince Painterly-Printed Shift Dress ( this was also full price in other stores)

Purchased 2 pairs of denims recently. DVB Denim By Victoria Beckham Capri has a flattering cut (slim down my fat thighs..), cute and short enough for spring and summer too. Whilst Stella McCartney Zippered skinny jean is classy. Also, with the skinny cut, they would be perfect for easy tucking inside the high-knee boots during winter... I need to send them for alteration though - too long for me.. (sigh.. why am I so short??)

Christian Louboutin and Lanvin

I love my latest acquisition of shoes from both Christian Louboutin and Lanvin.

Christian Louboutin New Simple Pumps in Pewter Colour
Finally... I got hold of this particular pair of pumps..... Why do I say so? Long story.... (Sorry if I have bored u guys....)
I have to place THREE orders... And yes... it was THREE (your eyes aren't playing tricks on you).
I have tried on other Christian Louboutin pumps in the past and always need to up one size as their shoes usually run small.
My usual shoe size is 37/7. So, up one size, I placed the FIRST order in size 38/8. Order received. Happily opened it... and try it on.... OMG!!!....why was it sooooo big????..... Checked and realised it was size 39/9..... (Saks delivered the wrong size to me... have to return the item).
Immediately, I went ahead and placed the SECOND order in size 38/8 again. Order was confirmed.
Somehow, I kept thinking about the size of this particular pumps over the next 2 days... When I tried on size 39/9 which was wrongly delivered to me the other day... it seemed way too big for me... This made me wonder will size 38/8 be big for me too. Hence, I called up Saks to enquire about the size of this pumps. They told me yes... Christian Louboutin shoes usually run small... however... this particular pair of pumps run true to size!!!!!
Sighhhhhhhhzzzzzzz, I have to cancel the order for size 38!!!!!!!!! Once again, placed the THIRD order for size 37/7!!!!!!!
After all the dramas for the past 21 days, I am NOW the proud owner of this pair of Christian Louboutin New Simple Pumps!!!! Putting it on immediately on the same evening. Can't wait to show it off!!!! Hahaha......




Simple and Elegant pair of pumps that add a touch of class to any outfit.

The signature red sole provides a hint of sexiness yah.......


Lanvin White Patent Strappy Platform Sandals
Don't worry.... The buying process for this pair of Platform Sandals is no hassle at all.. Moreover, I got this LAST PAIR!!!!! (my size) at a great great great deal!!!!!!!!!

No grandmother's story liaozzzzz. Oh.... why did I say grandmother???? It should be No sweety bunbun's long story liaozzzzz....... (haaaaahaaaaahaaaaa)

Love the gorgeous look of the box!!!!!!


It is a super high platform sandals...... but but.... with the 1 inch platform on the front... it was not as uncomfortable as it look... still need to be careful though.

Hermes Kelly Wallet ( Ligne Kelly) in Etoupe Chevre Mysore (Goatskin)

Latest addition to my Hermes collection - Hermes Kelly Wallet ( Ligne Kelly) in Etoupe Chevre Mysore (Goatskin) .... removed it from my Wish List sidebar....

SA from Hermes Dallas called to let me know that he managed to get it for me after a month of waiting... Freshly flew from Paris. Another arm candy for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippeeeeee

Chic looking wallet that comes with a Hermes mini lock - isn't it adorable and cool yah? Chevre Mysore (Goatskin) is such a lightweight and smooth leather. Absolutely love it!!!! Good functionality (sufficient card and note slots for me!!!!) and can be carried as a clutch too. Etoupe is one of my favourite colours from Hermes. Just feel that the colour will never go out of season.
I am still awaiting for the Birkin in Etoupe. Hopefully.... their marriage will happen soon!!!!!!!! (Mwahahaha)

Presenting my new babe - Hermes Kelly Wallet ( Ligne Kelly) in Etoupe Chevre Mysore (Goatskin)







Love this miniature lock..... cute yah!!!!

Dazzling and Comfy Sandals

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extremely delighted.......(skipping around)..... I was able to find this pair of Chanel Calfskin Sandals in Metallic while shopping in San Jose. Instead of the boutique, I got it from Nordstrom..... Apparently, Nordstrom just started to carry Chanel shoes 1 or 2 months ago.......

I was looking for this pair of sandals after seeing them in a magazine 2 months ago. My SA in Vegas was telling me that the boutique does not carry this model. Distribution of this model was only limited to a few boutiques (namely NY, LA, Hawaii and etc). However, she was sweet enough to call up these boutiques to check on the availability. Sadly, all were SOLD OUT!!!!!!.
Neiman Marcus does not carry them either..... I was even planning to look for one in Asia....

So, the moment I saw it and in my size (last pair)... Sealed Deal!!!


With a nicely done pedicure in dark reddish/burgundy nail polish.... these swirly designed sandals will look stunning!!!! and might be sleek enough for evening too...

Somehow, just felt that the pictures do not do them justice


Another acquisition of mine - Jeffrey Campbell gladiator sandals. It was really hard to resist. It was soooo comfy... The most comfortable sandals that I have ever worn..... (no joke)



Got some great deal for dresses too....... All on sales!!!! Yippppeeee!!!!!! (Hubby... your wife is saving money for u!!!!! hahaha)
