Lafite, Shangri-la

Si Fu Lawrence informed that Chef Kevin Cherkas
will undergo an "exchange programme" with the Chef in Shangri-la Spore.
>_<

means he's leaving to Singapore and that Chef Robin is coming over
:(((((
can someone verify the above??? Is this true?

but Chef Robin is a one star michelin chef with 20 years of experience.
>_<

Chef Cherkas is leaving....bohohohoho

"the egg came first" - weird name huh?
but very good....the base of the white was crispy,
the top of soft and the yolk was still runny!!!!

I checked the degustation menu for the month...

"Can I have the degustation menu I had a few months ago?"
"Certainly maam."

TOD'S Restyled D-bag Tote Media

Yes it is a very long name for a bag
named after Princess D of Wales
really spacious with its GRANDE size
*just the way I like it*
**oh wait, I DO have another similar bag**

and drawstrings at the side finished with silver metal TOD'S pieces
so your bag can expand as your cargo grows.
so HUGE that it can store almost everything.
I LURVE IT!!!
comes with other colors with different material
and fiery RED
I WANTTTTTTTT
but I can't have another red bag anymore
:(
WHITE is soooo must have this summer
but...but....
white is so difficult and troublesome to maintain.

for example,
at the restaurant:
"Oh wait....gimme a clean white napkin so my handbag can sit on it instead of on your dirty chair."

during the weekend:
"I'm so sorry I can't go out with you coz I have to stay at home to polish/wax my bag."
and there's a smaller size in PINK!!!!!!!!
and brown and dark brown and blue and silver and pale sapphire and malachite

after hesitating for erm...5 mins.
I got the PERFECT one...which is so classic and so safe.

Flew back to KL,
went to KLCC for groceries...
unconsciously walked into TOD'S boutique.

saw MY bag sitting grandly on the NEW ARRIVAL shelf.

"How much is this? any markdown??"
"I'm sorry maam, this is our classic collection so no markdown."

"How much is it retailing then?"
"It's RM 6,090."

sigh -_-"
6090609060906090609060906090609060906090609060906090
so folks,

and u know how much??
at SGD 1,300

go figure why I was luffing the whole week.

PS: It was such a bargain, JS got a messenger bag as well. tee hee hee.
