Happy birthday to me :D

(Chocolate Mud Cake)
(Mandatory shot with the cake)
I got my cake from Secret Recipe. I have a recent obsession with this particular bakery because their cakes are really so damn delicious despite it being so pricey. The cake was a little sweeter than the previous cake that I brought, but it was still acceptable! The creamy chocolate fudge was so smooth, it literally melt in my mouth. I really love, love it!
(Lokkee)
We were late for our reservation at Lokkee. Thankfully, there wasn't too many people in the restaurant and they still kept our booking. I am really impressed with the service of the restaurant. Lokkee, located at Plaza Singapura, is a restaurant under the Tung Lok Group. The food they serve is adapted from traditional Chinese food, so it is more a fusion type.
(Wet tissue)
For those who have no idea what Lokkee is, you might have come across this legendary condom-like wet tissue. It was a marketing gimmick but nonetheless it really attracts my attention. LOL.
(Flaming Pineapple Beef)
Ordered a dish called 'flaming pineapple beef', but I didn't know they take pineapple literally. It came as a shock when the waiter started lighting up the pineapple, and the entire fruit burst into flames in seconds. I am still feeling shook over it. LOL. I sent photos of this to my friends, and they were scolding me for drinking in the broad daylight. LOL, guys this is not alcohol hello!!?
(Here's how it looks inside)
Gravy braised beef served in a pineapple. The beef was very tender and juicy, and for a non-pineapple eater like me, I actually gobbled them down. The only sad thing is its super small portion for that expensive price tag. Kids, this cost $34 but the meat was just a palm size. T.T Nonetheless, no regrets because it was really that good.
(3 Egg Vegetable)
Different vegetables served with three-egg broth. I normally don't eat century eggs, but somehow their eggs don't have that disgusting taste to it so I ate it in the end. It was nice, the broth was sweet and the vegetables were so smooth that it glided down my throat. LOL. They use premium ingredients for their food.
(Chow Mein)
This is a classic dish - the stir-fried wheat noodles with mixed vegetables and sliced chicken. What amazed me is not simply the taste, but the packaging as well. Considering that Lokkee is a restaurant inspired by Chinese take-out food in cosmopolitan cities, it is creative that they adopt the takeaway boxes to put the noodles in. However, I feel that the chopsticks/fork cutlery is a little useless because nobody in their right mind will use both sides. And it is a little more difficult to use as compared to the normal cutlery.
(Sweet and sour pork)
A bowl of juicy cubes of pork stir-fried in their special sauce. It even comes with Chinese snow pears, which further enhanced the juiciness of the dish. The taste was simply amazing!! But again, this portion was so freaking small T.T I don't want fine dining, please increase the portion next time!
(Fortune Cookie)
It was nice of them to give us a fortune cookie each. However, they should consider changing their supplier for the snack. I got that slip of paper, but walao what kind of fortune is that?! "Don't trust fortune that comes out of cookies" I want to cry laughing.
(Visited a nursery afterwards)
As materialistic as I sound, which girl doesn't like flowers? Grabbed a bunch of flowers in the end to decorate the room because I got the feels. LOL. I feel like I'm walking in paradise as I walked through the nursery. There were so many beautiful looking flowers, of different sizes, shapes and colors. Ahh, they smell so pleasant.
(Black roses)
I came to the conclusion that black roses are not very nice looking. LOL, unless they have a tinge of red in them like the ones in the picture. If not, they look so dull!! Rainbow roses on the other hand are exotic and interesting, but the traditional me still believe that roses look much nicer when they are red/blue in color!
(Rainbow roses)
A simple day to celebrate my birthday. But it was a good excuse to spend some time with family. It was a good day overall. I'm thankful to my family. Without them, I wouldn't be standing here.
So come with me take a walk on the wild side,
See life in a day through a child's eyes,
And these dreams are all I have to hold me,
When sleep's the only thing that I want to take me away.
