I am Your Sunshine

woke up without the help of alarm clock at 10 (found that I forgot to set it), realized that Erich was not feeling well and had to missed out our chill day in the city. *best wishes*

turned on BBC6 as it’s become my daily ritual, set a time with Andrew and started freshening up. The plan was to have brunch in the city and go to the fisherman’s wharf to watch sea lions or find some cute cafe to read a bit and chat a bit.

when we got to the city, it’s already 12:30 and there was a long long line in front of Branda’s as pictured on yelp. We put our names down and drove to Japan town. We came back an hour later, and there were still like 10 parties before us. It’s crazy. We ended up sitting down at 2:30. But it was totally worth the wait, provided you have a car and are able to go somewhere else.

We had one of the specials – Banana Bread Pudding French Toast, Croque Monsieur from lunch menu and a flight of beignets (New Orleans doughnuts) with plain, apple, chocolate and crayfish stuffings. Gotta try the catfish egg benedict, biscuits and fried potato next time!

no photos sorry. but there are a bunch on yelp. See Here.

After we were satisfyingly stuffed, we decided to go shopping since I’m in such a shopping mood lately. So to Bloomingdale we went. I ended up not buying anything but tried on a lot of jeans. Joey by True Religion is really the second best one for me (came after my Paige). Have to give it some thought. Oh I also came across a white Adidas Chelsea jacket which is a bit big for me but it’s not too bad. Tempting. Andrew ended up buying a pair of shiny purple shoes, made in Italy. (Price undisclosed unless he ok’s it.)

Got home, took a Black Amethyst bubble bath, read Hong Yin’s Death of Shanghai and put on leg lift cream and sole and heel healer while watching a bit Patrick Jane. Total pampering.

Now, I’m going to do laundry and have a light supper. =)
