So went out to kaypoh kaypoh (because I wanted to check out *Scape anyway), and saw there was a mini parade going on!
storm trooper
cute
they seemed to be enjoying the jumps!
predators on the prowl in Orchard Road...
SMU also came out to play
poor gundam that had difficulty walking, and his costume looks about to fall apart...
Watched the cosplayers, lion dance and mini parade for a bit, then proceeded to *Scape building.
*Scape
they had this contraption outside of the building
We were exploring around the outside of the building, and saw the parade and cosplayers coming back.
fancy an asian wolverine anyone?
Everyone had DSLR, and what do I have? A compact. Ha ha. Felt a bit paiseh also. Approached some cosplayers and they were quite obliging.
green ranger
he actually had quite nice eyes, but he put on the goggles when posing in character... wasted siah! haha
Went into the basement of *Scape building as they were having some fair there. Gundams were on display, and I told YT that my sis would love this!
Think, someone inside there told me that there's going to be a Gundam fair coming up in September.
hehe, ping pong and beer anyone?
There are retail shops inside the building, which sells clothes, lomo cameras, figurines, and a few restaurants (there's a maid's cafe also). There's also a KBox and Ocean Butterfly Music School. As it was still early, we went to the corridor outside of Camp Pong, and took a few shots of the happenings downstairs.
this was shot nearer to the cafe and food kiosks
nice costume (purple and red)
Merly and Lyo also came
V for Vendetta
so cute
Nothing much to explore after that, so we went to Raindrops Cafe for dinner... at 5.30pm, can you imagine? Because we were kiasu, and the indoor dining only had a capacity of 15 diners. Was told that most tables were reserved for 630pm onwards, so we were offered to share a table with 2 other diners but it was actually an area with 3 tables meant for 6 pax, so not too bad because there was a one table gap in between of us.

Ordered tataki tuna for starters because it was written on the menu board as recommended.
tataki tuna
I think it was seared too much. YT said it tasted like beef!
mushrooms quite yummy but some were bitter! (probably was in close contact too long with the rocket leaves.. )
For our mains, YT ordered ribeye steak, while I opted for meltique beef (prime cut). The meat is from Australia. Both of our dishes came with the exact combo, with the exception that mine has cherry tomatoes. Even the sauce is exactly the same red wine sauce.
i like this picture!
ribeye
ribeye, medium rare
meltique beef, medium rare
The beef was tender and has a nice flavour, and I liked it! We didn't have any desserts because I think we had too much meat.. hahaha!
On our way to Taka, once again, we passed by the cosplayers, and I took this picture:

Then went to Takashimaya to walk walk, and what do you know... they had food fair in the basement. So, we do what we had to do.. which was, to check it out of course! Saw this cute cute mochi, so YT bought to try.
ringo, kuki and momo
mine was red bean paste inside, while the other 2 had peach and chrysanthemum flavoured fillings..
Then, there was this shop from Tampines One was giving away pork buns for free. We do, what Singaporeans loved to do. Queue up for free food!
piping hot buns, for free!
Ate so much, gasps.. more rounds in the stadium!
