Dining With Jewelle

I actually wanted to try out a different Indian restaurant but when my chauffeur cum food connoiseur threatened to drop me off the highway if the place I chose is not up to par, I gave in and so we found ourselves at Choice, as recommended by another friend.

I felt a bit wary at first of an Indian restaurant that did not have an Indian name and when we saw that the place was practically empty, save for one table, I thought it didn't look very promising too.

But to cut a long story short, I am glad to report that we were totally satisfied (up to the point of bursting actually).

Last Sunday, I coaxed hubby to try out the Secret Recipe at Warisan Square. When I first tried this place months ago, I quite enjoy their lamb shank and wanted hubby to try it.

Luckily when we arrived, it was not as busy and we sat just besides their Wall Of Accolades where they put up all the awards that they have won, from Excellent Food Award to the Superbrand Award. Very impressive.

Even though we're not regular wine drinkers, I think Wine Rack are one of the cool accessories to have at home. I like flipping through home decor magazines and I noticed that most of the more elegant homes will have a drinks bar and they also have the wine racks filled with bottles.

Of course, hubby will not miss going for a Japanese food when he was over at Singapore last week. But since he was only there for one day, he only managed to check out the Ichiban Sushi.

Here, hubby thinks he has found the origin of our Brunei Excapade.

Yesterday was the "Ko Chung" or "Kueh Chang" or simply Dumpling Day to me.

Despite having spent the last 7 years of my life with a Chinese family, I'm still pretty bad at remembering all the festivals and I was only aware that this festival is due when a family friend came to sent us some!

I read somewhere that to make a bedroom exudes elegance, the beddings should be in soft colours, preferably embroidered and definitely not loud prints.

But even if you don't have the means to keep changing your bedding sets (good quality duvets can set you back hundreds), you can always opt for quilt covers at stores like the Terry's Fabrics!

Last weekend we decided to try out the Misato, the Japanese restaurant in Kiulap after a prominent local journalist claimed that this is the best Japanese restaurant around.

This place has actually been around for several years but for some reason or others, we never really got to try it (not that I was eager to!).

Being the car-enthusiast that he is, hubby is one of those guys who can spend hours fiddling around the car engine and he has a quite an extensive set of tools full at home. But because we live near the sea, rust is quite a problem and although his tools are okay, his tool box is not.

I think he needs to get a Stainless Steel Tool Box like those sold by the Car Guy Garage. Not only do they look sleek, they are functional and most importantly, will not rust or corrode.
