End of FYP (almost!) + Platypus Kitchen (Bugis Junction)

After close to a year of discussing, planning, executing and finally writing, I'm glad to announce that 90% of our FYP has been submitted. The other 10% is allocated for our oral presentation, but we have decided to worry about that erm next week. This week is solely dedicated to celebrations and more celebrations! We even organised a Fatal Frame gaming session next week. LOLOLOL. 

Photo taken while waiting for Huiling to arrive! We couldn't curb the excitement so we had to take photos first!

YAY FINALLY SUBMITTED. Took this photo outside of the Lvl 4 office where we had to submit the report. HEH. Alamak my hot pink shorts sibeh AA. HAHAHA. :D 

We met up with Chay at night and had an amazing dinner at Platypus Kitchen! We went to the newly-opened (I think?) branch at Bugis Junction, and the experience was really pleasant. Definitely a restaurant that I will like to frequent many more times!


The Truffle Fries (S$6.90) were quickly polished off because they were too delicious! And at S$6.90, they were a steal! Great quality accompanied with a decent price tag. NOT BAD PLATYPUS KITCHEN, NOT BAD.


We couldn't decide which to get, so we decided to get both potato-based side dishes. The Truffle Whipped Potatoes (S$6.90) was also extremely delicious. I was actually shocked that Platypus Kitchen was so generous with the truffle shavings. Not truffle powder hor, truffle SHAVINGS. And huge ones.


Each of us ordered the dinner set meal (salad/soup, main course and drink), which was S$16.90 and up (varies according to the main course that you choose), and we all ordered the side salad. The side salad is worth raving about too. I expected like lettuce/cabbage, but was served exotic greens. GOOD JOB PLATYPUS KITCHEN!


My Sundried Chicken Pesto (S$14.50 ala carte) was too good. I was so reluctant to finish my food because it meant I couldn't have any more! It's a problem all of us encountered. The chicken was not bland and it was obvious that the chicken was well-cooked before hand. Tasted like yakitori chicken!


Chay had truffles-overload since she ordered the Truffle Carbonara Taglitelle (S$16.50 ala carte). They really are very generous with truffle.


Jeremy's Spicy 'Diablo' Crab & Prawn (S$18.50 ala carte). When it first arrived, we exclaimed, "ARE THOSE SAFFRON?! CANNOT BE RIGHT?!" Of course they were NOT saffrons. LOL. But very clever ah! Anyway, this pasta had an egg/cream base and it was quite spicy. Jeremy was satisfied with his heaps and heaps of crab and prawn. Worth-the-money-or-beyond 101.


Huiling's Squid Ink Scallop Ragout (S$16.50 ala carte). Very simple dish but very very delicious. Usually squid ink pastas have this weird fishy smell that I really dislike. But this was extremely pleasant to slowly munch on. The garlic sauce is TWO THUMBS UP.


Yinghui's Black & White, Scallop and Crab (S$17.50 ala carte). This dish is so unique! The black is squid ink Tagliolini while the white is egg Tagliolini! The sauce had a very pleasant hint of white wine. Also, once again, massive amounts of scallop and crab.


Platypus Kitchen was a food experience that I will never forget. Great handmade pastas at really affordable prices. I will come back again, and again, and again, annndddd agggaainnnn.

Anyway, we proceeded to hang out at Ogopogo Cafe at Arab Street for a quick drink and chat (coffee fix for me!). Such a bizarre cafe! However, it was a good bizarre. :D

Yay to great friends! :)


Can't wait to collect my taobao purchases tomorrow! I just placed another order (3 shoes!!!) on 65daigou. Great website! :D

Have a great weekend everyone!
