It was a rainy day and it was quite cold in the air-conditioned shopping mall, so we hopped over to Centre Point to buy her a jacket or cardigan or something. When we were crossing street Jolie was so excited to see all the people, the Christmas decorations dangling everywhere and music playing. Her eyes were like O_O, and her finger was so busy pointing everywhere. But as excited as she was, I guess all the stimulation made her a little nervous as she was grabbing my neck quite tightly as I held her in my arms.
When we reached Centre Point, they were selling Chocolates at the event hall. As I peered at the chocolates, one of the staff gave Jolie a big pink balloon. She was all excited, but I had to go around apologising to everyone as she happily hit anybody nearby on the head with her big pink balloon. After browsing around, we ended up spending S$57.00 (AFTER discount from UOB) worth of chocolates from Chocolat Factory. OMG. This is like the highest amount of money spent on chocolate in my life, but it's SO worth it! It's so yummy~
After that, we went to Robinson's children's department and bought her a white pajamas top to wear as a cardigan. She already have 3 jackets at home, so I don't wanna buy another one. When we were about to leave we spotted bears playing music!
Jolie was all excited to see the teddy bears move and made her excited Mmm! Mmm! noises. It's almost dinner time when we left, so we headed back to Orchard Central. We went to the lovely place called Grill-Out! for a steak dinner. It has a nice outdoor seating on the 7th floor, so it's nice and cooling. Unfortunately, that's all there is.
They had this dinner special for 2 thingy on their menu. They just list 3 different types of meat, one price. We thought that we can choose one of the meat, but it turned out that for that price, it's a combo of three different meat, but sliced VERY thin (slightly thicker than a piece of ham), season it heavily till you can't really taste the meat, overcook them (one of them is tougher than my crocs sandals), and charge you S$68.00 for it.
Mind you, these 3 meats are Wagyu, Kurobuta and another one which I can't remember. These are very prime meat that doesn't need much seasoning to make them delicious! So we were SORELY DISAPPOINTED. I felt like slapping the so called chef for murdering the meat. We complained to the captain who offered to change it for us. But the 2nd plate came back about the same standard. Maybe their ala carte dishes tasted better, I don't know. But I know that we won't be going back anytime soon. Waste money. :P
"Papa, don't pay them!"
Cobby could sense my utmost disgust at our dinner, so he suggested that we go to Ben and Jerry's for dessert to perk me up!
It's just one floor up (8th floor) and it's next to this place called Heaven's Loft where they serve pizza and other good looking food. -_- Should have eaten here instead!!! There were many other restaurants there, so many we'll try them next time. Meanwhile it was nearing Jolie's bedtime. Next time bah!
This was Jolie's 1st Christmas at Orchard. I wonder if she'll dream of dancing bears and pretty Christmas light in her dreams! :)
