The weekend passed by so quickly, darn.

It was really a fruitful one for me though!

Realized I haven't posted food pictures for a longgg time.

(Been lazy to bring the camera out actually. haha!)

So, the boy and I decided to head to Ice Edge Cafe near Kovan on Sat for dinner.

It has been featured by the media quite a bit, so thought would like to give it a try.

Tucked away at a corner of the heartland; it's situated at a place that is too easy to miss. 

But I quite like the quietness of the place, very homely and great for chilling out.

Been too busy and too caught up with errands.

We really need more of such chill-out sessions.

Pictures time!

We ordered the New Zealand ribeye, and the Pesto chicken for mains.

The chicken dish was nice; sauce was rich and creamy.

The ribeye was a huge letdown though.

Then again, I had already warned the boy that it's hard to get good steak at just any restaurant.

I guess we gotta stick to places well known for their steaks. lol.

He wasn't even impressed with Angus Steakhouse.

We're heading to Prive soon, which he said the steak's reallllyy good.

We shall see. lol.

Desserts wise, we were contemplating between the lava cake and creme brulee.

But since he likes creme brulee,  we went along with that.

I chose the ice cream flavor - mao shan wang durian ice cream :D

Hence, the atypical combination of local flavor ice cream + a french custard dessert.

The ice cream was nice, but the creme brulee is well..not too fantastic.

Tasted others that are much better.

  Maybe we should have stuck to the choc lava cake instead :)

Now for more wedding updates.... 

We went to choose gowns for the prewedding shoot today!

I think it's kind of crazy that we are willing to travel all the way to JB..

 just so we can have our shots taken by our dream company. lol.

Even though this company is based in Malaysia, 

its packages are even more expensive than Singapore's bridal shops.

But I had chosen this place for its photography.

Gowns wise, I wasn't too hopeful to find my actual day gowns in here,

so I had chosen a local bridal shop for my actual day gowns.

This means, I have 2 bridal shops to run to. lol.

Was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into their shop.
It's grander than most bridal shops in Singapore :)
Maybe cuz it's one of the top bridal shops in M'sia,
hence, even the whole feel is very different.
But the funny thing about this bridal shop is that,
instead of focusing on gowns, they focus much more on photography.
Their founders are a bunch of professional photographers ;)
I do think their standards don't lose out to Singapore's top wedding photographers,
such as Raymond Phang, Moretopurple, Acapella etc.

Tried on some of the gowns meant for the prewedding shoot.

The gowns really aren't quite up to my expectations, but they are alright I guess.

Between gowns and photography skills, I pick photography skills for a prewedding shoot.

But for actual day.. it's a different story ;)

Enough of rattling, pictures time (even though I'm not supposed to share the pics yets :P)
Too excited not to share! haha!

These are not all, but I'm kind of lazy to post all of them up :P
I'm more particular about the white gown I'm going to wear,
hence I picked more of the white ones to try :)

They are all quite pretty I must say..
but there isn't one that quite fits the perfect bill.
I prefer non-heart shape kind of front,
and high waist instead of mid or low waist..
A line gown or ball gown are fine by me though.
Just not trumpet or mermaid.

Mm.. now that I'm thinking about gowns again..
I can't wait for the second appointment!
Going to try on more colored gowns then :D

Alright! The bed is calling out to me...
Nights ye'all. :)
