Resident Evil:Retribution Race and Pique Nique @ Takashimaya

Last weekend, I was at Orchard Road with Yin Mei. Our main aim was to see the Resident Evil: Retribution Race event where participants would run away from zombies along Orchard Road and those who manage to reach the finishing line "alive" will get to win attractive prizes. We actually wanted to participate but the registration was full! =(

We kept looking around searching for zombies and people running. To our disappointment, the event wasn't very happening. Probably we missed out the exciting part. We did manage to catch a glimpse of a group of zombies. Their makeups were not that scary as we've imagined. 

Got this from my friend's facebook

Not scary at all right? We were expecting zombies like the walking dead. lols.

Ok, I know thats impossible. The show took a few hours of makeup to get this result. It will not be realistic to do the same for the event. But I think the "zombies" should at least be professional by behaving like one and not just chatting while walking.

Had our dinner at Pique Nique, Takashimaya.

Clean and simple

They don't only just serve all-day breakfast, but burgers, pastas and steaks as well. 

Petit Mac & Cheese - $7.80 

Elbow macaronibaked in Pique Nique's cheese sauce with Swiss Gruyere, parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

It was extremely cheesy!!! Taste great when pipping hot. Will get too cheesy to handle after finishing half of it.

Farmer's Omelette - $12.80

Made with 3 eggs, sauteed onions, beacon, sausage, potatoes and mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, served with white toast and side salad.

Taste okay for me. Generous amount of fillings was wrapped in the omelette and it tasted alittle bit salty.

Norwegian Benedict - $14.00

2 poached eggs with toasted english muffin, smoked salmon, sour cream, served with side salad. 

 Didn't get to try this so I can't tell you how it taste. I'll let you judge based on the picture.

our romantic dinner. haha

*They have one outlet at Jcube too!

As we didn't want to go home that early, we went to TCC for desserts.

Puffy Triplets 

Three profiteroles with rich chocolate ice-cream atop a fine almond-espresso financier.

 The financier was abit too strong with the coffee/espresso taste. Other than that, IT'S HEAVENLY!!! I can finish 20 of it. hahaha.

Crimson Duet

An enchanting duet of rose and strawberries.

A very refreshing drink due to the sour taste of the strawberry but we didn't taste any rose in it.

Chocolate of Wealth

Rich chocolate frappe brimming with crunchy chocolate chips.

This drink taste okay. At least the chocolate did not make me felt sick of it or too sweet to handle even till the last sip.

Once we step into working life, we begin to realize the importance of weekends. Though I have not officially step into the working society, I can't imagine myself working like a machine everyday.
