비타민C 치료가 효과적인 것 같아요! 2차 백신을 맞았을 때 부작용이 적었어요. 나는 아직도 가끔 현기증이 났는데 비타민C 치료 전보다 덜 심해요. 이제 운동을 할 수 있고 조금 더 정상적인 일상과 생활으로 돌아갈 수 있 어요. 그래서 기분이 많이 좋아졌고 더 이상 우울하지 않아 요. 안전을 위해 일주일만 더 비타민C 치료하겠 어요. 화이팅!   ====================   Notwithstanding my longstanding policy of not visiting new restaurants until they've passed their first birthday, I made an exception for Clos Pasoh . My birthday twin Syl and I had spent our birthdays in confinement last year and this year we really wanted to dress up, go out, and live it up, have a ball. But what with the constantly evolving lockdown rules, and with what they say about beggars being choosers, Clos Pasoh was a providential opening in a sea of restaurant full-houses across the board.   Being the first week of its official launch date, the restaurant was a bustling hub choc-a-bloc with beautiful people and the who's who of movers and shakers. I was surprised at how first-rate the service was. Most restaurants typically need time to iron out ...

너무 미쳤어 한달 반이 지났는데 아직도 부작용이 있어요 😭. 나는 충분했다 내 생활고 건강이 나빠졌고 침대에서 모든 휴가를 낭비 되었어. 연차 휴가 동안 하고 싶은 일이 많았는데 부작용 때문에 아무것도 하지 않았어.  다행히도 많은 인터넷 연구를 한 남편 덕분에, 내여보, 많은 사람들이 같은 부작용을 있는 것을 발견했어요. 나는 안심이되었어. 내 현기증이 심각한 것 같아서 걱정이 됐어. 어머니는 내 나이 때 암종으로 돌아가셨어.  그래서 인터넷에 따르면 나는 비타민 C를 많이 먹어야 해. 부작용은 비타민 C를 많이 먹으면 일주일 후에 좋 절 거예요. 나는 지금 치료를 하고 있고 부작용이 잘 됐으면 좋겠어. 화이팅!   ================   Mask-wearing may be a slight hindrance (or to some, a torture device imposing on civil liberties tantamount to a war crime) but I love how mask-wearing has granted me a sense of anonymity. Not that I'm ever in danger of getting mobbed, but it's refreshing to go out in public without having to acknowledge any acquaintances on the street (I don't know about you, but I reallyyy detest small talk 😖). And, this may be entirely psychological, as I've also noticed that mask-wearing has seemed to make people less inclined to approach one another (although the introvert in me loves that hah). But, the biggest up...

오늘은 부활절이야. 크리스마스외에 부활절은 아마도 기독교인들에게 제일 중요한 날이야. 사순절에 쇼핑하고 욕설 할 수 없어서 오늘은 미친 쇼핑했어. 나는 지금 돈이 없어서 밸런스 일년 동안 쇼핑을 할 수 없어 😂.  나는 보통 이스터 일요일에 교회에 가는데 코로나 때문에 우리는 집에서 온라인 교회를 봤어. 아직 예방 접종을받지 않았고 우리는 사회적 하고 싶어. 새 직업과 새 상사 때문에 나는 부활절 달걀 찾기 하지 않았. 핫 크로스 빵을 만들 시간도 없었어요. 하지만 여전히기도의 좋은 시간이야.   어쨌든 종교가 무엇이든 행복한 일요일을 기원해요!   ===================   I'd never would have known of Gaston if not for a girlfriend's insta-story. She'd posted the most tantalizing photo of their poached eggs, and if you know me, you'd know how much I love brinner-type egg dishes. A loved-up emoji like, accompanied by a gushing compliment for said story, responded by way of an enthused offer to return to said bistro, followed by an eager acceptance by way of a double date, and we were set for an egg-cellent Easter weekend dinner.  Dinner turned out a smidge shy of a slam dunk: the starters were bang-on, but the mains were a mixed bag. I loved the chicken, but the much-hyped beef bourguignon was forgetta...

이 홈베이커는 친한 친구의 발견과 페이스북 추천이었어요. 나는 항상 그친구의 음식에 대한 리뷰에 동의하지 않지만 그녀의 부모님은 이 홈베이커의 마카롱을 좋아한다고 말했기 때문에 확신했어요. 그녀의 부모님은 음식에 대해 너무 높은 기준을 가지고 있어서 나는 음식에 대한 그들의 리뷰에 귀를 기울일 것인데.    우와  이 홈베이커 마카롱이 너무 너무 맛있다!!! 😋😋😍 조금 비싸지 만 그만한 격표의 가치가 있어요. 새해에도 뚱뚱해질 것 같아요 😰   ==============   The local F&B landscape is, under the best of ordinary circumstances, already harsh, but Covid-19 lockdowns and the ensuing recession seriously pummeled the restaurant industry. Like I told friends, 2020 was one kind of formidable battering ram. To nobody's surprise but everyone's shock, many notable restaurants were put out of business this year. To be perfectly frank, I wasn't particularly upset at many of the closures (survival is for the fittest after-all), save for Antoinette. I'd loved their pastries and it was my go-to whenever I felt like macarons, La Durée having exited Singapore after a short foray in our city state and Pierre Hermé not looking like it was ever setting u...

이탈리아 음식은 프랑스 음식보다 맛있어서 프랑스 음식보다 이탈리아 음식을 더 좋아해요. (프랑스 음식이 가끔 조금 이상하는데 에스카르고와 개구리와 말고기와 토끼를 먹어가지고 프랑스 음식이 중국 음식만큼 이상하군요! 그래서 중국 사람들만이 이상한 음식을 먹는 것은 아니요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ) 하지만 프랑스 빵과 디저트를 더 좋아 해요. (나는 빵없이 살 수 없어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ) 나는 매주 크루아상을 먹어요 (내가 어떻게 아직 뚱뚱해지지 않았을 몰라요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ). 그리고 치즈!! 나는 치즈를 너무 좋아해요. 프랑스 치즈 중에서 미몰레트 제일 좋아하는데 항상 냉장고에 있어요. 빵과 치즈 만 먹으면 행복 할 것 같아요! ==================================== Atout is another restaurant from which we've repeatedly picked up take-out: we usually pop by after picking up dinner at Culina. This was a dinner some time back with Lips (whom I miss terribly) where we ditched the husbands and painted the town red (okay okay... when I say "paint the town", I really mean we just had a nice, adult dinner at a nice adult restaurant...but hey, we actually stayed out past 11pm (what a shocker), and also when I say "red", I mean we wore red lipstick because, you know, going out to dinner amounts to a special occasion at my age. #boringauntielife #middleage...

You know, the best thing about working in the CBD, is the easy access to the mind-boggling variety of dining options. So...lately, we've (slowly but surely) been hitting up the gamut of restaurants in the Telok Ayer/Amoy Street enclave, and Le Binchotan was another restaurant that I finally got to tick off my to-eat list. The late-night speakeasy gastrobar serves French-Japanese cuisine. To wit, the painting at the entrance of Le Binchotan , featuring the Effiel Tower set against the backdrop of a rising sun, is a gorgeously brilliant commission of the restaurant's provisions. Note that while its address stipulates an Amoy Street address, entry is through Gemmill Lane, as with Gemmills and the fabulous Maggie Joan's . The galley of a restaurant was a veritable who's-who of pleb-ville. There was a gaggle of air stewardesses who were determined to make themselves heard over the piped-in background house music, it wasn't even a challenge to hear the entirety of t...

So, we're still on a quest to find the best steak frites in Singapore. Taratata Bistrot was a recommendation by a friend. She likes their cooking, which is traditional and straightforward, and its warm, cosy atmosphere. And indeed, the food at Taratata was terrific; it was nothing too fanciful or newfangled, just simple, honest fare coupled with great service. It seems the French community concur; we were about the only locals in the bistro overrun by a sea of French expats. A must-try, the Grilled Foie Gras ($38), sinfully decadent but oh-so-good, was contrasted against the caramelly sweetness of a baked apple tart and morello cherry sauce. A couple of black truffle shavings added oomph and fragrance. The house-made Pork Rillettes ($18), sided by crusty bread and pickles, was homey and rustic. Absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of fat and meat, that went down as one of my favourite rillettes to date. The Roasted Rack of Lamb ($5...
