Daniel Henney - Weekend Eye Candy

It's another weekend and I was chatting with this friend of mine about men and that conversation "inspired" me to put up another yummy post on my favourite guy, Daniel Henney.
My No. 1 - Daniel Henney. I have written some posts of him HERE, HERE and HERE (plus a few more-click on the Daniel Henney labels at the sidebar).
Daniel Henney is so gorgeous - this 186cm tall actor/model will be starring in another movie soon, My Father. Can't wait to see it! Downplaying his good looks with a really short hair do ('cos he's in the army), this is Daniel Henney's first attempt at drama. I have seen clips of it and his acting has improved (since the last I saw him in Seducing Mr Perfect, but of course, he needn't have to act but just look gorgeous. I for one and million other women and even some men won't complain! He looks good in anything or better still nothing....hehehe!).

As a volunteer in the U.S. Armed Forces based in Korea, Daniel Henney's James Parker in "My Father" is an adopted son who goes in search and finds his biological father who is a condemned murderer on death row. Daniel Henney won the Best New Actor award at the 6th Korean Film Awards for his role in this movie which is based on a true story.

This video shows Daniel appearing on a Korean variety show, watch how the women hosts throw themselves at him! It's so funny! Here are the links for the rest of the show.

Part 4
Part 5 (only up to 3 minutes 27 second mark)

With that, have a great weekend everyone. I know I will .... ;o)

Christmas Comes Late - Singapore

Well, we made our way to Singapore and after some serious shopping, covering Orchard Road and Scotts Road, you guess it....it was time for dinner! We ended up at Tony Roma's located in Orchard Hotel as we only had one thing in mind...Pork Ribs! As Malaysians would know, Tony Roma's outlets in Klang Valley are halal, so, this was an opportunity for us to grab something not available on Malaysian menu.

Tony Roma's Pork Ribs
The award winning baby back ribs - It was indeed finger licking lip smacking good! Tender meat basted with BBQ sauce that fell off the bone. Woo Hoo! - SGD31.90++ for full serving and SGD27.90++ for half serving.

After that satisfying meal, we took a walk around the area again to check out the Christmas decoration (Sorry, this post is almost 2 month's late....hehehe, hence the title!) and I of course when round taking photos. The streets and mall were really crowded, check out the scene...

McCafe
We then decided to have coffee at McCafe located at Scotts Road

A cup of latte and an hour of people watching later, we decided to head back to Johor Bahru. Oh, we drove right through the customs :o), sweet...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL - "What the world needs now...is love, sweet love..." ;o)

Lavender Cake & Bistro, Johor Bahru

Having first tried Lavender's pastries from the outlet in Pavilion and enjoyed it, I was pleasantly surprised when Alicia took us to Lavender Cake Shop & Bistro for brunch before heading over to Singapore. Seems that Lavender's quite a big hit in Johor with several outlets before they decided to venture into Klang Valley too recently. I was at Aeon Bukit Tinggi Shopping Complex a few days ago and they have an cake and bistro outlet there too (unlike the one in Pavilion which does not serve food).
Lavender
This outlet is near Pelangi Leisure Mall and has a big seating capacity.
Christmas Deco
It's a cosy place despite its size. The interior colour is light purple and when I was there during Christmas time, the Christmas decorations were in shades of purple too. You can actually see my reflection from the purple bauble (taking the pic with my usual "hand tripod"...hahaha)
Mocha roll
Seeing this cute mocha roll, we just had to order it but it turned out to be lacking in mocha flavour and just tasted sweet.
Fried Vermicelli
The fried bee hoon (vermicelli) fared much better. It was extremely tasty and came with generous amount of shredded vegetables, eggs, prawns and topped wtih coriander leaves.
Chicken Foccacia
The Foccacia Chicken Sandwich was quite a delight too. With raisins, bits of capsicum and cucumber, this sandwich had an added crunchy bite to it.
Peanut Butter Toast
Came drizzled with maple syrup, a slab of butter and scattered raisins, the Peanut Butter Toast was a pretty sight. I wished I was greeted by such sight and taste each time I feel like having toast :o).

Well at least I can get to, right here in the Klang Valley but let's just hope that it's just as good as this brunch I had in Johor Bahru.
