OBC Unite! + The Drinking Market

Hi hi. It's been ages since The Official Bitch Club met up. I think the last time I saw them was during exams in March? And they've seen each other during graduation. LOL.

Iris, Nat and I have met up a few times since but not with Dav and HS.

So we finally decided to make ourselves free and meet up last Friday. Initially, Nat, Iris and I got mixed up with the dates and thought we were meeting up the week before, HAHAHAHA.

Y WE SO BLUR.

Anyway, we felt like eating Thai food so I made reservations for us at The Drinking Market. If you're familiar with that area, you'd know that is was formerly known as Mama Jane and they also have 2 other outlets, Jane Thai, at Orchard Towers and Bedok.

So we decided to order some dishes to share:
Crispy Pork Collar ($10)
Heard a few people raving about it and was recommended to try it a few times. Finally tried it and I wasn't disappointed at all. It's crispy and juicy at the same time. There's also a special sauce to dip it in.

Yummzzz ttm!

Tom Yam Red Seafood Soup ($15)
Ordered this because apparently it's less spicy compared to the clear version? There was more than enough for each of us to have a second helping.

And honestly. . . this tasted better than all the tom yam soups I've had in Thailand.
Thumbs up.

Chicken Wings in Red Wine Sauce (6 pieces) ($9)
This. Is. My. Fav.
2nd time eating this and oh my, I still love it. I think about it sometimes. The sauce tastes like sweet and sour sauce and oh my, super yummy!

You must taste it to see how amazing it is.

And for individual dishes:
Pad Thai ($6.50)
(didn't take a picture of it)

Pineapple Fried Rice ($6.50)

Basil Pork Rice ($7.50)

I had this. Super yummy but super spicy for me. I'm someone who cannot take spicy food. Should have requested for it to come without chilli but I forgot.

Nonetheless it was still super yummy!

I also ordered my ultimate fav Thai Iced Milk Tea.
It's not as sweet as the ones they have in Thailand but the taste is there.

You can check out their full menu here. Honestly, everything on the menu is super yummy. You can pick anything blindfolded and you wouldn't be disappointed.

They also have a wide range of beers and ciders and their beer on tap is Kirin. They've also recently brought in liquor so yeah, this can be your new hangout place. Go check it out. It's pretty chill and the ambience is good, especially at night when they off the main lights and just the fairy lights are on.

The food was so yummy and we felt so bloated after but of course, there's always room for dessert!

They currently only have 5 flavours - Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt Malt, Biscuitini (?), Mango Lassi and Lychee Lime. But I think they'll be changing the flavours around and maybe adding more. The ice creams aren't that nice but I guess it's selleable? It's not made by them anyway.

The Drinking Market
226 East Coast Road
Daily: 1130 - 2300 (kitchen closed on Mondays)

After that, we waddled our way to I12 to slack and gossip somemore and camwhore more at the playground upstairs. LOL. It's just what we do best *shrugs*

Hope we can meet up again soon! But of course everyone is super busy with their own lives. I think we'll be having a staycation again *crosses fingers*

It's amazing that we haven't met in so long but when we meet, it's like time hasn't past and we can still talk about the same crap. LOL.

In the meantime, good luck in what y'all are doing! Don't give up! We'll all be there for each other no matter what.

In beauty, Favourites

SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

It has been months since my last favourites post so, HI, and welcome to my September Favourites.

1) L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE LE ROUGE - IRIDESCENT MY FIRST PINK

Bought this on impulse because I was going for Nat's birthday after work and had totally forgot to bring my makeup pouch to touchup before going for her party. So I bought this from Sasa.

No regrets.

It's super moisturizing and I love the colour. It manages to stay pretty long too and isn't drying on the lips at all.

2) MAC STUDIO FIX POWDER

This is my second one and I really love it. Finally bought the proper shade as well.. LOL.

Nowadays, my foundation routine is pretty simple. I just apply CC Cream then set it with the Mac Studio Fix. I don't bother much with concealer. Embracing my pimples and flaws. *shrugs*

Will definitely keep purchasing this product for a long time until something better comes along.

3) UV AQUA WHITE CC CREAM

I had actually received this in one of my Bellaboxes and have been using it everyday. I really love the coverage and texture when applied. I don't even need to use a concealer because it's that good at covering blemishes.

My bottle is running out though ):

4) REVLON JUST BITTEN KISSABLE STAIN BALM - SWEETHEART VALENTINE

Bought this from BKK but I'm sure you can purchase it in Singapore as well.

Was drawn to the colour (I love pinkish lip sticks). It glides on and applies really well however, I don't really fancy the minty-ish smell and feel of it. Reminds me of Vicks.

The staying power isn't that spectacular either honestly. But I do really love the colour. Plus I paid a really low price for it.

5) MARC JACOBS DAISY

If you know me, you'd know what a fan of Marc Jacobs I am and that I've been wanting to buy a Marc Jacobs perfume for over a year plus.

Initially I wanted to buy Honey by Marc Jacobs because I really loved the scent and didn't fancy the others too much. However all that changed when I was at the Duty Free at Bangkok's Airport.

They've actually recently come out with 2 new fragrances as well but I didn't fancy them. Took another whiff of Honey by Marc Jacobs and I don't know. . . but it wasn't what I remembered. Sniffed Daisy again and decided to purchase it.

Bought the biggest bottle because it was so much more worth it and much cheaper than if I were to buy it in Singapore at a departmental store.

Daisy has a very floral scent and I don't regret purchasing it at all.

6) THAI ICED TEA

I've always enjoyed drinking thai iced tea but I don't get to drink it too often because firstly, it's extremely sweet and secondly, it's mostly available at thai restaurants in Singapore.

So last month, I went to BKK and got to drink it almost everyday that I was there. I'd always complain about how sweet it is and that I feel like I'm slowly getting diabetes but I'd still drink it and finish every last drop of it.

I bought the instant kind too so I can enjoy thai iced tea in the comfort of my own home. I get to drink it alot too when I go to Matt's workplace.

So it's all good ~

Til next time!
