Nikon Coolpix P310 & il Gelato di Bruno

Got my new digital camera... Its the Nikon Coolpix P310 (in white)!!

Went to the PC Show over the weekend, and decided to get it since PC Show and IT Fair are places to get good electronic gadgets buys. Got the Nikon Coolpix P310 for SGD500++ including freebies.

 


Key features of the Nikon Coolpix P310 has f/1.8 bright lens with 24mm wide-angle lens, image stabilization, manual/custom/auto settings as well as 19 optimized enhanced scene modes! It also has full 1080p HD movie recording and 16.1 megapixels with backside illumination CMOS image sensor. The only downside is that the optical zoom is only 4.2x, so unlikely to take long shots with this digital camera.


On the way back to the MRT station via City Link Mall with my purchase and i saw this......!!...*eyes bulge

*whizzed in

So many yummilicious flavors to make your selection from!!

For those who don't know which flavor to choose or how they taste like.....the crew at il Gelato di Bruno allows sampling!! So sweet of them, really! Sometimes i don't buy because i don't know how the gelato will tastes, had a bad experience with a certain dairy flavor once somewhere and i learnt a lesson...Don't buy unless you sampled it beforehand...
The cup size is actually really small (not that the spoon are huge)...but the flavors available are really delicious. I'm not sure when this promotion will last till, do your math, whether your willingly to pay SGD2.25 for this small cup or not.   

Ordered Dolce Latte (taste like kinder bueno and coffee)

Going to 'Bling' my Coolpix P310, but have not found any suitable skin or crystals yet. If you guys know any good deals on the crystals or service for camera blinging, please let me know at harumuu@live.com or leave me a comment. Thanks for reading!!

Happy June Holidays students!!

Suki-Ya @ Marina Square

Met with my mum for lunch at Marina Square, was contemplating which restaurant to go, and we went to Suki-Ya!!! It's a japanese Shabu-Shabu restuarant, and they serve all-you-can-eat-sukiyaki and shabu-shabu!!! For those who are not interested in shabu-shabu, they do serve ala carte or set meals if i'm not wrong. Sukiyaki is like japanese hotpot, whereas shabu-shabu is the 'swish swish' technique used when cooking your thinly sliced meat in boiling soup broth.

They have instructions and advice on having sukiyaki on every table

You get to choose two soup stock from the three available ones (sukiyaki, kimuchi and....chicken broth?)

We choose sukiyaki (on the left...taste like soy sauce and miso mix) and kimuchi (on the the right...a slightly spicy miso-based soup). Apparently, they charges for drink, SGD1.50 for free-flow water i think -.-.....well since i have soup, nobody is complaining about the lack of beverages. 

The bar where all the other sukiyaki ingredients are up for grabs

They serves some unique hotpot food, pity i didnt take pictures of them..*sobs.....i'm sorry...They also serve lettuce, leek, firm tofu(not the silken ones), pumpkin slices, assorted mushrooms, meatballs(not the kind you see in supermarket, they are really yummy) and CHEESE TOFU!!! I nearly went ballistic when i saw cheese tofu on the bar, really love them.   

Main highlights of sukiyaki is the sauce you dip the meat into and of course, the MEAT!! (beef, pork & chicken)

 I choose Miso Tare (cause it's recommended to go with kimuchi) 
with chopped radish, garlic, spring onion and a sprinkle of chilli

*gobbles down the beef

Yummilicious~

The price for adult lunch buffet is SGD15.90++, i guess it's pretty reasonable since you have free-flow meat, soup and veg. Really recommend Suki-Ya for huge group of friends or family gatherings, great place for a good chat and yummy food ^^.
