I am ENGAGED!!


Wow... what to say... I am engaged!!

Yes K proposed last Friday over dinner! :))

Shall not go into too much details because I'm a lil shy haha.. but he booked a really beautiful restaurant for dinner near Covent Garden, and had requested for a table in the conservatory with flowers around and a glass roof.  Coincidentally we both remembered that one of our first dates was to Covent Garden and he especially loves the baskers singing in that area.  So imagine at night once the hustle and bustle of the market has died down, the baskers strum their guitars and sing, it is really quite a nice setting.

After it happened, we asked the waiter to take a photo for us, and I posted it onto Facebook.  Not to show off the engagement but I thought I'd share a photo of the beautiful restaurant.

Never did I know that my friends have eagle eyes and immediately spotted the brown box and the ring on my finger!  haha We were shocked by their comments.  I started to panic and didn't know how else to respond on FB because I planned to call home the next day to tell my family in person.  Anyways, to cut the long story short, FB was one step ahead of me indeed and when I woke up the next day, I had a slew of congratulatory messages! :)

Really felt the love from friends and family back home and here, who showered us with their congratulatory messages.  I was one blessed and happy Bel who couldn't stop smiling.. and admiring the ring. hehe

The photo that caused a little commotion on my FB page

A few photos of the night to share with you!

Starter: Salmon pancake - looks and tastes good


In the beautiful Conservatory

Feeling nervous inside?

After a long day at work, I just wanted to enjoy a nice & quiet dinner.

Smiling to himself!  Wonder what was he thinking.
My real main - Cod fish cooked with chorizo


My Varlhona Chocolate and Pistachio dessert

The food was great, service was exceptional.. what to say but he nailed it by booking the "most romantic restaurant in London".  Like what my ex-manager always says "It's a beautiful thing."

sighs dreamily...

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
