Family life

As I'm turning into my thirties, I'm glad of a few things I've achieved:

1) having a baby

2) owning my own car

3) earning my way through life

I know some readers might roll their eyes at point number 1. But if you ask me, it's prolly not so much an achievement, more like a promotion. I didn't know I could love someone so bad until I had Leia. Sounds soppy/ironic, but damn true!

When my dad or Cw screams at her, my heart shatters. I know by stopping them means I'm spoiling her, but I'm presuming only a mother can understand how I feel. I think it's a womanly thing, but it's very painful to see her being hurt. 

Of course, Cw sees it differently. It's only legit that she gets scolding for doing something wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for disciplining, but I dunno why whenever I face her, I can't discipline. All I wanna do is to cuddle her and tell her that mummy is here. Some pictures of my daughter.

So yes, I say it's quite an achievement to give birth and look after this daughter of mine. :) 

Arossa Wine and Grill

I'm always very apprehensive when it comes to "wine and grill" or "bar and grill's" category of food. Sub-standard steaks, truffle fries and what nots come to my mind the moment I picture a wine and grill restaurant.

However, Arossa is totally different. I thought I was going to be disappointed but I thought wrong. Of course, this isn't the best steak I ever had, but for its cost - WORTH IT! :)

Let us begin with the usual truffle fries:

Of course you can't tell how good the fries are until you've actually tasted how it is tossed with the truffle oil. The way I'll describe it? TOTALLY GENEROUS WITH THE OIL. :) And I hate soggy fries (Mos burger serves soggy fries) but these fries are as crisp as anything. Simply delish. I'm a huge fan of truffle anyway.

Next up - Foie Gras!

The foie gras to die for! This is on par with the one I had with Cw at The High Society at MBS. I think I had 2 rounds of it. HAHA!! Of course, it's served with poached pears, although it looks like peach slices. 

Wagyu beef boglonaise! I know from the picture above you can't tell if its (a) wagyu (b) boglonaise but its tender beef and pasta all in one. I'm thinking the marbling of the wagyu is 7? Tender to a point where I'll say the beef is sweet. I'm not good with words here, but I can't describe how good this is! Although I gotta admit, the whole thing came quite gelat when I was 3/4 into the dish, but for a price of $28, I find it pretty okay.

With a bottle of wine among 13 of us, we had it finished in no time.

Desserts are so-so. Nothing that fantastic about ice cream, As for the tiramisu, I'm NOT against it, just taste like what normal tiramisu would taste. Cw would definitely love it though, he is a major fan of tiramisu. 

What can I say? Yes to the appetizers and mains. Will I head back? Def for the mains.
