{ My dining buddy's Oreo spiked milkshake. I had the Mint Chocolate spiked milkshake with peppermint schnapps and creme de cacao, shown below}
{ Smoked salmon salad with watercress, sprinkled with capers, red onion, and served with a side of bagel chips and a dollop of herbed cream.}
{ I had the tuna nicose: seared ahi tuna, French beans, fingerling potatoes, quail's egg and tonnato-style vinaigrette dressing. }
{ We split the 'mac and cheese balls' flavoured with white cheddar cheese and jalapeno. Very addictive. }

look what i got

Sold out in stores and online for 2 weeks. Walked into the downtown Sephora and spied the last palette sitting on the shelf. Swooped down and grabbed it before someone else got their hands on it.

Mine now.
