Contract signing and ROM dress

Went down with darling on Friday 28th August to meet up with Ashley to sign our contract for ROM. Paid up deposit of $388. hehe was busy talking and took the wrong route again.. however we just made it on time. Must be Eugene's fault... don like him liao :p

We went over to Wheelock Sun with Moon to have our lunch. I ordered Hokkaido Ramen & Tori Karaage set meal while darling ordered Nagasaki Chanpon. Mine was quite sumptous but it was confusing sia ... too fusion to eat sia like a mixed combination...
Darling's Chanpon soup was good.. but it tasted like Hokkien mee in soup.. and it cost 3 times more... overall i felt it was nothing fantastic... so-so.. probably next time try their dinner.

Afterwhich, we went to our Bridal studio. We reached there slightly earlier and Amber was having her dinner.. so paiseh...
After which, she took some short ROM dress for darling to choose and try... wondering shall i post the pic here  hahahaha darling definitely will kill me...

i also tried two jackets.. but don have my Agnes B style jacket leh... hehe wanna retro style...with geeky specs..

We also confirmed with Amber for the makeup artist and the timing etc.. and we left when the boss came back..

Since we were in the Tanjong Pagar area, i did some research and we popped by Saraceno Ristorante@ Hotel Berjaya. Heard good reviews about this place on the net and decided to give it a shot...

Poor image taken.. must take up photography skills liao..

Darling ordered Fusilli Napoletana which its texture was firm and spongy ahhaa but it came with two big prawns and some clams. Dear ate one and passed all the clams to me.. wait kena outbreak again...scary...

I ordered Linguine Vongole in olive oil garlic and chilly. I would say it was a disappointment. There was no taste of garlic and chilly too tomatoish for my liking but the vonogle was quite alot.. but i cant taste the freshness but at least there wasnt any fishy smell...

i was expecting higher quality since hearing that the chef had trained under Gordon Ramsey.. but the bread was warm and nice...

But for the price.. think i will not probably go back again... maybe come for their desserts?
