The view from above: From 1-Altitude

Has anyone visited 1-Altitude yet?

This rooftop bar stands at 282 metres and is located at One Raffles Place, making it a prime spot to have a bird's eye view to the skyline of Singapore.

I enjoy drinks over great view - the only thing is that Singapore doesn't usually provide the latter all so well. One of my favourite rooftop bars is actually in Bangkok - Sirocco, at The Dome.

Me and Ah Han at Sirocco.

I finally visited 1-Altitude. Not exactly for drinking, and not exactly in the evening, but was invited there for a beauty event. I nonetheless jumped at the chance to check out the place.

I liked the ambience and can imagine that the evening skyline will be even more spectacular.

Can you imagine how it might look at night?

The beautiful city skyline.

In a private room, with a great view.

A candid shot of me, er... laughing at something.

The food is pretty decent too. 

Tiger prawn salad.

Corn soup.

Yummy black cod with spinach & almond puree.

New friends I met at the event.

Will I visit it again? Surely.

Anyone has any reviews to share?

Tonkichi Japanese Restaurant at Orchard Central

I went to Tonkichi Japanese Restaurant for my birthday because it looked so pretty and the menu looked good.

I felt like I was really in Japan (and I should be tomorrow if not because my trip was cancelled :( )

I told the photographer to take the background but he included me in the pic as well.

The food doesn't come with most of the sauces. They're available at the side so you can choose the amount you want to put.

Different sauces.

The ramen set comes with a ramen of your choice, a katsu of your choice and a side of your choice.

This the ramen set that I ordered.

My companion likes my ramen, but I prefer Marutama (click to see my post on it).

The tonkatsu ramen I ordered.

I chose hire katsu and agedashi tofu.

It came with a huge ladle that is freaking fun to use.

The  set looked even more sumptuous.

This is my fave. Grilled to perfection!

Grilled cod.

The sashimi served there is super fresh and creamy. I would recommend getting a plate of sashimi to savour.

Sashimi don.

A sumptuous spread.

We are gluttons so we ordered another salmon roll. And we didn't regret it because it was sooooo good.

Grilled salmon sushi.

The bills came up to about $90+


How do you usually celebrate your birthday?

Dinner & Drinks with Han

Han and I celebrated my birthday after attending DrGL MAN's launch at Escentials and Paez's launch at Threadbare & Squirrel (click to see my post on it)

Because we've been walking around in heels (although Han changed into the comfy Paez that she bought that day), we decided not to venture too far and went for dinner at Shokudo at Bugis Junction.

I can never resist ordering Shokudo's pasta because it's so yummy. Yeah, like ANY pasta. I went for this one because I haven't tried it before (and I've pretty much try every other pasta on the menu). I think this is pretty alright... I still prefer the Carbonara and Chicken balls skewers with cream pasta.

Tomato based pasta with pork slices.

This is pretty decent but the wasabi mayo is yummy.

Prawn fritters with wasabi mayo sauce.

This is what Han ordered. It came in a super generous portion.

Burger!

At first we wanted to walk around the mall but because our feet still feel tortured by our heels, we decided to seek "refuge" at Intercontinental Hotel.

A pianist was making music there and the ambience is just fab. The kind of ambience that I'm a total sucker for!

We got some drinks - I had a Hoegaarden and Han had Irish Cream Bailey's.

We had a fantastic chat about - well, pretty much everything under the sun. And took lots of pictures.

Okay, I just want to show off my hair, ok? Oh, and a bit of my Kate Spade bag.

Here are pictures of us playing with my camera's Fish-Eye effect function.

Where do you go to chill out?
