I went to A La Carte for the first time in my life yesterday. Was kinda posh and was trying to act elegant. But first up, my outfit: I wore my red Zara dress which I got for CHF 39.90. matched with my navy CHF 59.90 H&M military style coat. hahaha! I sound so calculative and ngeow now because I paid for all these things during my recent shopping trips. so I know exactly how much they are (since I deliberated for quite long before deciding to buy each piece). Judy wore an LBD paired with a black sweater. and we went for dinner with Pam, Jasper, (Ken Ju's boyfriend. oops I forgot his name) and this other girl who looked really nice heh. Sorry no full length piccies of my outfit yet. Must get from Sam. Will update once she sends me:)
*update: hahah ok here's the full picture of my dress
Red Zara dress that you'll probably find at the TRF section. I saw it when I was working in Zara Ion. heh!
and I paired the dress with my H&M coat! ok I know it looks electric blue and somewhat N. Korean? hahaha! but I guess its just the lighting. The blue's darker than this. as I said, navy. hahaha!
As I was saying, t'was a posh dinner yesterday. I mean it's fine dining and all. So as expected, there were a gazillion forks and knifes. We had red and white wine. I felt so much like an adult. Truth be told, I've never had wine in my life. Yea la I'm super swaku la. sorry. Anyway, so dinner was kinda stressful I guess. Like I didn't want to look out of place and all. When we first went in, the waiter introduced himself to us and took us to our seats. He then offered to take our coats. Anyway, I ordered the prawn salad(got some posh name la) for cold starter, Seabass for hot starter, Duck for main course and Ice cream with tempura for dessert. haha! Dinner took around 3 hours because I guess in such social settings, people are supposed to be eating slowly and chatting and 'enjoying their wine' hahaha! k so now, for some piccies.
cold starter! Looks so pretty right! I didn't know which fork and knife to use at first. But I vaguely remembered watching from titanic that Jack was supposed to 'work his way in'. So I did so #likeajack
Pan-seared duck (did medium rare) with roasted potatoes and funny garnishing that i didn't touch. Was quite good too! But I thought the duck was too medium rare for cutting. lolol. took me quite a bit of effort.
Our dessert! Tempura (prunes) I guess. With vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. Don't know what that red liquid in the glass was. Seemed inedible to me though.
Red and white wine! I felt so posh heheh!
Me with my usual makeup hahaha! Maybe I should go learn alternative makeup styles. hmmm.. but I like my cat eye leh.
Acting cute after inspiration from dear Judy
Judy looking oh so adorable!
Her trying to take other pictures heh. I swear this girl has like a million photo taking apps in her phone! hahaa! I only have 2 please. And I mostly use instagram anyway!
So yea, after that, we went back in the rain:( And studied for French. I got 98% hehe! But sigh, it was just one stupid mistake. Ils ont vs Ils sont! meh. It's ok I shall learn from this. Maybe I should really start writing my content paragraph now heh. Before Miss Stead starts walking around and catches me here. oopz:/
