Hai Tien Lo @ Pan Pacific!
Just a quick update before I hit the bed like real soon! This week feels awfully long, after so many less-than-5-workdays weeks during December. Thank god it's finally approaching Friday soon, though I have a meeting at 5pm tomorrow. Sigh!
Anyway, back to my post. Time for some self indulgence and pampering after getting my first pay check from CPL during November!
Opted for a gastronomy treat at Hai Tien Lo. Hai Tien Lo is located on the 37th floor of Pan Pacific Hotel, and I love taking the elevator up because the view is simply splendid! (:
Needless to say, the view from the restaurant itself was great! Really reminded me of my dining experience at Equinox. Too bad no fireworks this time round. 
The walnuts with sesame is super yummlicious and addictive! Can't stop eating them! Which just reminded me that I totally can't bite now because of my braces. Zzzzz! Have to keep telling myself that I'll just have to bear with it for 5 months, and serve me right for not wearing my retainers dutifully every night! ):
Next up, pictures of the food that we ordered, and in short, every dish was delicious! Mashimaro and I took the set dinner each, but ordered an extra Pekking Duck because that was one of the highly recommended dish! I super love the yummy duck skin. It still makes me hungry now thinking about it.
And this has to be one of the yummiest sharks fin soup I've ever eaten! It's not too watery nor starchy and gluey, and they are really generous with the crab meat. Plus, there's a mini abalone too! 
Can't really remembered what exactly this was, but think it's soft shell crab with some salad thingy. The soft shell crab was super crispy! 
And finally, the main course, beef! Even though I'm not really a fan of beef, but the meat is really tender, and the sauce was great! Thumbs up! 
Was super bloated by then, but there's still fried rice! Mashimaro helped me with most of it though. Hee! 
But I still had room for desserts! Yummy mango pudding! I think with my limited vocabulary, I ran out of words to describe the food. Everything is just yummy to me in short. 
Sidetrack abit, we went ballroom hunting, and popped by Pan Pacific yesterday for a visit. The Pacific Ballroom is nice, but it has a minimum requirement of 50 tables, and after adding in taxes and surcharges, it's pretty expensive!But, food served will be from Hai Tien Lo, and the bridal suite is damn, damn, damn gorgeous! I should seriously consider modeling our future home after their bridal suite.
Anyway, we'll have to come to a conclusion on our banquet venue pretty soon before everything gets snapped up! And I guess Mashimaro and I have decided on that hotel more or less! (:
A truly satisfying, not to mention heavy on the pockets meal! We can only do such self indulgence once in a blue moon!
I'm so looking forward to Chinese New Year because it means more holidays. pigging out, plenty of steamboat sessions, red packets (my last year!), sleeping late and BBQ pork meat! (:
TGIF and looking forward to the weekend to sleep late!
