very happy to find shiseido's "white lucent" range and crabtree and evelyn's "la source" range of skincare at a.c. cooper's new store on front street. haha!! my silly hao-e. caused me to go on shopping overdrive just before coming over here cos he says there are no department stores here. sigh. no macy's or saks lah but there is marks and spencer, a.c. cooper and gibbons!! found some really cool stuff at teen's department in gibbons today. totally affordable too. all between $20-$40 only. very exciting. at least there will be some retail therapy for me when i need it. yay!
last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
