Last week was unusually social for me with a midweek dinner at Chin Chin, closely followed by dinner on Friday night at The Newmarket Hotel and then Saturday night at Hu Tong.
Chin Chin is the new talk of the town, you can't book which seems to be a winning formula for any new kid on the block. The interior is lush, I loved the graphics on the wall and menus, not to mention the pink neon bunny mirror positioned at the end of the luxurious marble bar. With the prospect of a hour and a half wait for a table a couple of friends and I ended up sitting at the bar and having some entrees before proceeding to a table to have our mains. The food was deliciously flavorsome and kinda reminded me of Cookie. We had salt and pepper squid, Massaman beef curry, thai salad and some spicy ball thing that was HOT! The service was not that great on the floor, maybe it was just too busy, but the folks behind the bar were very attentive.
The night previous I celebrated the beginnings of Spring and treated myself to a manicure and pedicure. As I sat like lady muck perched on my massage chair, I ear-wigged a conversation among two 20 somethings on what shade of pink they should adorn on their nails, I looked over and they had three shades which looked exactly the same to me, "OMG it's such a tough decision, I can't decide...what do you think?". Bless. This inspired me to have my toes painted bright orange and my nails pea green, because sometimes you just need to try something different and I have to say I like. The two girls on the other hand looked over in disgust and went back to procrastinating about the pink.
