"Who's the sexy thing I see over there?"

The sexy thing is most likely not Noona because she has been stuffing herself with so many good food over the two weeks break. Anyeong! It has been a while, isn't it? Noona is alive and well, fatter. It's probably time to break the habit of slacking and binging food over Netflix and K-dramas starting tomorrow. Hahaha.

Noona would probably need to stop eating steak for a while since her last visit to CUT because the steak was so good (and so expensive), it's hard to beat the lingering feeling that Noona felt after eating this steak.

Oink Noona: CUT by Wolfgang Puck, Marina Bay Sands

CUT is a celebrity chef restaurant owned by Wolfgang Puck, who Noona has no idea who he is until one day before dining at his restaurant. Prior to ordering the meat that you'd like for your steak, the waiter/ waitress will show you how the meats look like. Noona ain't meat expert and hence, all meats look the same in her eyes except for each degree of red-ness. But her noob eyes can tell that these meats are not gonna be cheap. Nuh uh. Do you want to guess which meat that Noona and her dinner date end up choosing for their dinner?

Steak goes well with wine but that's the case only if you like to drink wine in the first place. Noona gave these bottles of wine a miss because she does not really like drinking wine except moscato.

Complimentary breadsticks are given to our table upon ordering. Noona does not know why but all these celebrity chef restaurants serve superb complimentary bread.

More complimentary breads are given but this time, the waiter will ask you which bread you'd like to have from his tray. He also advised us not to have too many breads because the steak that we ordered is HUGE. However, the impression that both of us are petite diners gone the moment he saw us gobbling the meat. #shameonus

We still ordered an appetiser despite knowing that the steak is huge. But the maple glazed pork belly taste so good. Yumz.

The steak comes with two side dishes to select. Noona wanted to try mash potato because what is steak without some potato? Noona kinda feels like a minion sometimes. Po-ta-to people! Oh right, how does the mash potato fare? The Yukon Gold Potato Purée tastes so heavenly but it does not taste that yummy once it is cold. So eat it fast!

Noona's dinner date ordered a bowl of onion rings and oh my gawd, this is the best onion rings that Noona has ever tasted in her whole life so far. Bye bye Burger King's onion rings. To be fair, the price is different so Noona probably should not even compare both of them in the first place.

Here comes the Porterhouse steak. You can choose what kind of sauce you want to have with your steak but we decided to go with the homemade sauce because after all, this was our first time dining at CUT. You can also ask the waiter to cut the steak and divide the portion equally but no worry, you can take picture of the whole steak before they cut them up.

What's left from the steak, the huge bone. Noona really feels like a hunter who enjoys the bounty despite the fact that she's not the one hunting.

Different kind of sauces and condiments are put on table to go with the steak.

Bon appetit! Looking back at the dinner picture, we were such a glutton back then. Really.

Nice Friday night dinner at CUT by Wolfgang Puck

But, what's dinner date between two girls without a dessert to complete them all? On top of that, we would be kicked out (albeit, politely) if we don't order anything else. Hmm, so many interesting selection for the dinner but most of them involved some kind of ice cream, which we kinda tried to avoid.

Eventually, we gave up on our resolution not to eat more ice cream and ordered Strawberry Shortcake. Guess what, this is the best Strawberry Shortcake that we have ever tasted ever. Oh my gawd, can Noona just come back here for the dessert? Hahahaha.

Complimentary chocolates are also given toward the end of our meal. We kinda left it on the table because we were busy chatting until the waiter asked us politely to leave the place since there were so many people waiting for table at 9.30PM. Can you believe it? Noona would not want to dine at 9.30PM to be honest with you but apparently, these people is willing to do that.

"Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid."

This is Noona's current favourite bible verses because recently all the things that she has experienced are really not good for her heart. So many uncertainties, unknown challenges and question marks which left to be answered and yet, there is no point thinking so much about these problems until losing sleep. Or losing appetite to eat. Hahaha.

And with that mindset plus one very supportive friend, here we are at TWG Tea Salon one stop away from our office. That was the day where both of us got an approval to leave office two hours earlier than usual. We had actually made dinner reservation at 6PM but since we were early, we decided to just chill at TWG Tea Salon. Contemplating on what to have without jeopardising future dinner, we ended up ordering two scoops of tea-infused ice cream (SGD 9) and a pot of tea.

There are only three kinds of tea ice creams offered at TWG Tea Salon, Earl Grey Fortune, Napoleon Tea and Vanilla Bourbon Tea. Noona chose the vanilla bourbon tea while her dongsaeng chose Earl Grey Fortune. Dongsaeng was a tad confused when she saw the Earl Grey Fortune came looking very similar to chocolate ice cream. Thankfully Noona remembered that she saw the word "chocolate" under the description of Earl Grey Fortune. Noona prefers the Vanilla Bourbon Tea ice cream though.

The tea that Dongsaeng chose was pretty good and soothing. Could not really remember the name but it is probably Vanilla Bourbon Tea (in real tea version not ice cream). TWG has so many tea selection, it is kinda futile trying to remember all its name. The ambience of TWG Tea Salon at Marina Bay Sands is really nice for chillaxing. Both of us feel like we are living a "tai-tai" (re: wife of rich husband who does not have to work) lifestyle enjoying our high tea while the commoners are working their asses off in the office.

While we were enjoying our tea and ice cream, we talked about so many things from shitty workload, annoying people at work, people that we love, our family to our favourite band, Coldplay. Noona still put their songs on her Spotify's playlist few months after their concert in Singapore. The performance of "Something Just Like This" was just awesome.

OH, I want something...

...just like this.

Doo-doo-doo-doo. We totally sang along with Chris on this part. Hahahah. What an awesome night indeed, Noona did not regret that event for even a bit.

Noona knows that people come and go but it really brings a pain in her work when a lot of co-workers doing this around the same period. In summary, her pay does not cover responsibilities shoved down by people who left. Zzz. Oh well, at least there's the farewell lunch. The funny thing about this farewell lunch is the person who's leaving pay for the lunch. This is the first time Noona has encountered such culture. Usually it's the other way around, no? Looking at the chosen venue, Bread Street Kitchen, Noona secretly breathed a huge sigh of relief. LOL. #nomoney

K-in-Singapore: Bread Street Kitchen, Marina Bay Sands

A prior reservation is a must if you want to secure a table at Bread Street Kitchen. Well this is understandable since the restaurant is helmed by chefs trained by none other than the famous celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay. Reservation these days seems to be a lot easier than when the restaurant just newly opened though. All meals will be started by a complimentary basket of bread served with butter. This alone has made Noona a happy diner.

This was the third time Noona dining at Bread Street Kitchen but yet the first time she has ever tried some starters (usually she will dive straight into the main thanks to the price-tag, once again, cheapskate). The seared scallop taste good with a tinge of sweetness. They go well with the sauce too. Noona feels like she is one of the judges in Masterchef kitchen whenever she eats scallop. LOL.

The garlic butter prawns are not bad either. Don't forget to drizzle the lemon juice a bit on top of them before eating. This makes the taste even more tangier and yummier. Everyone on the table seems to enjoy the starter like people from Let's Eat, the famous Korean drama about eating. Hahaha.

Since this is considered a corporate event, Noona feels a bit embarassed taking too many pictures so she could only take picture of whatever dish located near to her seat. Just like this roasted pork belly served with apple slaw. The pork belly is nice, especially the crispy skin but it can get a bit dry if not eaten together with the apple slaw.

The other mains, fish and cheap and the beef steak are nice too. Noona loves the beef steak the most, it's a pity she could not get a picture of it. Maybe next time, she will consider dining alone here. Just her and the steak. Hehehe. Bread Street Kitchen is located at L1-81 The Shoppes, Marina Bay Sands. Operating hours: Monday - Thursday: 11.30AM - 1AM Friday: 11.30AM - 2AM Saturday: 7.30AM - 2AM Sunday: 7.30AM - 1AM
