been dying to wear this dress but never did

as i felt it was too short for my everyday office wear.

then i rummaged through my closet to find something to wear for my birthday dinner. 

then voila!

|| mini cappuccino brulee : madeleine {waterfront hotel & casino - lahug

|| chocolate fudge cake : madeleine {waterfront hotel & casino - lahug

my birthday cakes were to die for! seriously!

you should go check out madeleine's cakes.

the chocolate fudge by the way is made to order and not on their display nor menu.

you have to order it a day ahead and directly from the chef.

thanks to our friend who works at the hotel who introduced us to this.

my birthday dinner was only with family and i wouldn't have it any other way.

with my little sister in australia, she still joined us via facetime.

dinner was nothing fancy, just korean barbecue, at the banri.

we had a good fill, nothing to complain regarding the food.

service should improve though, that you nearly need to shout to get their attention.

also, they don't honor senior citizen's discount!

i don't really know where to complain for that 

but i hope someone from the government will read this and take some action.

all in all it was the birthday i wanted,

tranquil, warm and with family.

tnt!

it was warren's birthday last weekend,

one could say it was a whole weekend of celebration.

on the eve of his birthday,

it was just the two of us with dinner at banri.
then a dessert date over at dolce.
i had their mango brulee while warren had their smores.
am sorry but i don't understand the fuss over dolce.
yes, the place is nice.
perfect ambience for coffee, some dessert and catching up with friends.
but their cakes, were not much to rave about.
i mean, one could get better dessert fix somewhere else.
i guess in this case, ambience wins!

we went home right before midnight,
so warren had the chance to blow his first mini birthday cake at home.
this cake we got from madeleine at waterfront hotel & casino - lahug, 
it's their gateau and this is all so worth it!
moist chocolate cake, rich choco mousse & creamy custard filling!

this is warren's official birthday cake

that we served after dinner with his family on the day of his birthday.

you might notice the blueberry cheesecake at the back

and think that it's too much dessert for one evening.

then, you don't know how big warren's family is.

both cakes we also got from madeleine

though they might be a little pricey, their cakes are all definitely worth it!!!

after dinner with warren's family
we headed down to alchology to celebrate with his friends.
they just opened their new VIP lounge.
it has about four lounge sets,
it's own comfort room and soon it's own bar.
truly, you'll feel like a VIP being there.
you enjoy the music, feel the energy of the crowd
but in your own little party space.

and this bottle of johnnie walker was followed by two more
that we all ended up so plastered, it was a riot!

i would have wanted to post some photos of the evening
courtesy of alchology's official photographers.
just my luck, the head photographer called me come monday,
reporting that the memory card used that night got busted.
boohoo!

tnt!
