The Loots…

Heard raves about Bath & Body Works and decided to try it out. Apparently crazychick has a slash of them pending usage too. Whoa!
Victoria’s Secret toiletries are a little suspect so I didn’t go crazy over them. But for Bath & Body Works…yes I did!
In the end, I was their last customer for the day and the stuff is too heavy for me to lug back to my hotel. So the shop girls Annie and Gigi told me they will make a personal trip to Sheraton to drop off the bags. Oh my! I was overwhelmed with gratitude for their superb service and wanted to express my satisfaction with gratuity. Unfortunately they declined. Now I am going to just have to write in to the company in praise of their staff. In all, it was a truly phenomenal experience.
I didn’t buy any body wash because of constrained luggage space, only lotions and eau de toilette makes better sense to bring home. I am using the Sweet Pea now and I totally LOVE it!My only regret? I could not drop by the shop a second time to help Esther and Leia buy their requests. Sorry, sorry!

Sino Cravings in US

Ironic, but often we crave Chinese fare in a Western land. If you’re craving for some decent Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices, you can head down to P.F. Chang’s for a nice meal in the States.
I like the elaborate shop front and the interior—done in the style of the terracotta warriors and horses ("兵马俑") in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb.
Food’s quite yummy, a pity I did not snap any pictures. The restaurant’s perpetually packed but there’s a bar diners can have a pre-dinner drink and wait for a table. My glass of Japanese plum wine cost a mere $5 USD and it pleased me that I wasn’t ripped off.

Getting a Taste of the Famed Donuts!

When Scott offered to buy us Krispy Kreme for breakfast one Wednesday morning, I was filled with immense gratitude for his kindness.
Come on, it’s the donuts I have heard so much about and not tasted yet!
Here is it! WOW! o-0
Sugar overload for the day.
Verdict: They do stay crispy all day. Too sweet and second helpings not recommended. In fact, I didn’t finish an entire donut by myself. I tested all of them though and well…folks in Singapore, Donut Factory is worth the queue more than Krispy Kreme. I guess bringing in the franchise for this product then would make little business sense, especially when the incumbent is actually yummier.
So, when Scott arrived in Singapore after we've returned from Stamford, true to the personal promise I have made to him, I allowed him to try our local donut offerings. Peanut butter glazed, double chocolate and spicy cheese. =P
