Valentine's Day

My first Valentine's Day spent with Rory =]

No we did not plan anything massive due to school and work I guess? But darling booked us in for a romantic dinner anyway <3 He came over to my place after work to pick me and Sparky (my car) up and drove us over to his club where dinner was booked. It was a really nice and quiet restaurant and (as per a lot of other restaurants) only serving the V-day dinner there so there was about 2 other couples there.

Very romantic nice atmosphere (duh) and first up we were served bread with these: I only put some cheese on my bread; not too fond of the other 2




And this was the gift all the ladies got ;-)


First dish: Foie Gras with cheese and caviar on top

It was meant to be eaten together but I didnt quite work for me so I are them separately which worked well since I think they had great tastes each on their own




Second dish: Escargot 

This was cooked pretty well and they looked and tasted a bit like mushrooms haha. Nah it had a nice chewy texture and it did not have a strong shell-fish taste. Yummy. 


Third dish: Sea urchin soup

The name actually freaked me out a bit because I've never had sea urchin before and honestly the soup looked like it would have a strong sharp taste but no it was actually very light and the tiny bits of meat within were very much edible.


Fourth dish: Sorbet

Ok this is not a dish but oh well I will mention it anyway because it was served. Main purpose was for you to cleanse your pellet before the main course.


Fifth dish: Main course of beef cheek

We were offered a choice of duck or beef and we both chose beef. I did so because I felt like eating beef since I just had duck the day before. It was very delicious, the meat was very tender even though I wasnt too huge on the large amount of fats/veins? I could barely finish my main course


Sixth dish: Dessert; chocolate mousse

Yes I was very full but there is always room in the stomach for dessert as proven by Suju in EHB. Duh it was good. How can chocolate cake ever go wrong 




Seventh dish: Tea

Ok obviously not a dish either but it was the final serving of the night; tea with pralines. Boyfriend does not like praline so I got 2! Hehe 


Picture of the night taken by the waiter =] Thank you very much boyfriend for making this such a lovely night. I really enjoyed dinner and your company of course; as usual.

Phoebe Feehily signing off now ciao!

Super Junior's 6th Anniversary

Image
Ok this post is specially dedicated to my Super Junior boys whom I've adored for 6 years. Yes I've been a fan for 6 years. This is basically to prove that I am NOT one of those girls who suddenly got sucked into the K-pop madness recently. Ok I think I'm just gonna use this post to embarrassingly pour out all my old Suju secrets haha. When did they first catch my attention? With the song "Knock Out" which I only realised quite a while later that it was their very first song so yes I've been a fan since day 1 I guess? or song 1. or rather video 1. I was a boyband fanatic at that point in time and I knew every single boyband and all their songs including those that were not that popular especially the UK boybands so the song "Knock Out" was originally Triple Eight's. I was watching MTV at that point in time and during the JK hit this song appeared and it caught my attention because I recognised the song. Being a visual person and a dancer, t...

[Review] Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

Image
So I managed to catch this highly anticipated movie on the opening night itself thanks to our Good Friday holiday which allows me to stay up late. Dressed in our appropriate t-shirts to show our support for the movie, my family headed down a nearby cinema for the show. Overall, I thought the movie was ok. There were a couple of reviews from previous special screenings which were negative but after having watched it myself, I thought it was pretty decent. *Don't read on if you don't like spoilers* Plot wise I thought it was a good opening movie leading up to the formation of Justice League. The insight on Batman was done in an apt and concise way and the merging of the two timelines; Batman and Superman universe was cleared quickly within the start which creates a solid base for the rest of the movie. The only thing I did not like was the age gap between the characters and the fact that Superman was simply too new to Earth. Props to Ben Affleck; he was the m...

KOREA 2014: DAY 13 ~ SEOUL: Tous Les Jours, YG, The Cafe BBQ (Sungyeol), Departure from Incheon Airport

Image
29 OCT 2014 And today marks the day we say goodbye to Korea. Having already packed our bags (appropriately and neatly so to best facilitate our VAT claims), and done with shopping, today was one which we were going to take easy. We still got up pretty early anyway, paying a visit to the Tous Les Jours cafe just across our hotel, we decided it was a must go since it was practically located at every other street in Seoul. I thought the variety was decent and a good cup of coffee was had at every cafe so far. With our bodies warmed and stomachs filled, we were good to enjoy our last few hours in Seoul. We took a short walk over to YG Entertainment for symbolism sake before attempting to find our way to the Han River. I knew where Eunhae liked to hang out but we couldn't be bothered. We figured; it's just this long river that runs through Korea so any spot was fine we just wanted to snap a photo at the famous river. And guess what? Despite the above fact and kno...
