TCC - Tea, Curry, Cakes.

In the latest of my food adventures, we decided to visit Curry Favor at Stamford House today, a place that I had seen quite a long time ago, but never bothered to step into till now. On first glance, one may think that the prices there would be a little steep, but I thought they were ok, with dishes not exceeding $15 for the lunch special. Serving size was just nice as well, but somehow I felt the dish I ordered was a little plain. Haha it was basically rice with my meat, and of course the curry, which I thought could have been placed on a heater to prevent it from caking up so fast. The curry was alright, less spicy than I thought (which started me thinking that maybe I should have chosen spicy instead of regular), but the lemon tea was next to tasteless.. LOL.

Next up was the hunt for the "tea house with Victorian furniture and cutlery" at Esplanade, but not before having quite the lesson on aromatherapy and plant effects from this very respectable dude selling essential oils at one of the stores there. Really interesting stuff I must say, and it's even got me considering getting a little burner just for my room.

After a bit of walking though, we realised that the "tea house" was none under than The Cookie Museum, where I had a taste of the 5 continents with my "Treasure of the 5 Continents" tea, and some really good Bailey's Irish Cream Liquer Cake. She had what they called the lady's favourite, which she thought it wasn't anyway, but I think it still had a unique taste to it.

She had to leave after that, so I thought some retail therapy might be good, and ended up really going out to search for those shirts I had been wanting to get for some time. I was in dire need of long sleeved shirts that I could wear without tucking them in, and of course they had to have that slim cutting or else I'd just look goofy walking around in a fat looking shirt. Finally found what I needed at both Zara and Topman, and ended up buying from both. Urgh.. talk about retail therapy.

And of course, what better way to end off the day than with a nice warm tea at TCC with theFamily.. Been some time since we met up, and there we were going through the usual motions again, sitting at the table talking about life, about growing up, how old we were getting, and our never-ending plans for a get-away. One day we should all just make up our minds and settle for something.. Hahaha but that would not make us theFamily would it?
