Catrice Just Married NOTD and Rise Omakase degustation
Thank God it's nearly Friday! I don't know about you but I'm sooooo looking forward to the weekend! I showed you Let's Mauve On! a few posts ago from my fabulous swap with Fleur's nails&stuff and today I tried another pretty Catrice for my NOTD.
Catrice Just Married is a soft pink shade with subtle gold shimmer and a somewhat frosty finish to it. You may not know but I love pink polishes =p The formula is a bit streaky and a little difficult to work with though - the 1st coat was streaky but a 2nd thicker coat evened it up. I had VNL so I applied a 3rd coat and got the full effect of the colour but you could just do 2 if you aren't fussed about VNL. Below is 3 coats without topcoat. I love the name of this polish as it really is a beautiful colour that would be perfect for a special wedding day =)
Last weekend I went to Rise Restaurant with my boyfriend and his family. Rise is a Japanese fusion restaurant located in Darlinghurst, Sydney and specialises in a 7 course Omakase
Degustation. It was my first time sampling fusion cuisine and I must say I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious but there were just too many different flavours all in one hit, a mish mash of flavours. Plus the waiter we had was trying WAY too hard to be funny and the atmosphere was a little lacking in my humble opinion. Here are some piccies for you though! The lighting was very dim so they didn't turn out too great. Only after we'd finished eating did it occur to me to use my mobile flash for lighting =p DOH!
Salmon tartare with poached quail egg and gochujang miso sauce:
Tom Yum style soup with scallop tortellini and mussle:
Assorted fresh sashimi:
Soy milk flan with shittake sauce; Rice paper rolls of steamed chicken baton, avocado, cucumber and sesame sauce and Fish cake with daikon and wakame salad.
Soba salad with soft shell crab and ponzu vinaigrette:
And I totally forgot to take a photo of the main! But it was Roasted duck breast with polenta and mushroom croquet and red curry sauce. It was quite delicious.
I can't remember exactly what dessert was but essentially it was kaffir lime and chilli granita with mango icecream; and a green tea and chocolate mouse with kumquat jelly. My favourite course by far! The green tea and chocolate mouse was DELISH and I don't even like mousse!
Thank you for stopping by! Hope you guys are having an awesome week =) Don't forget to enter my 200 followers giveaway here!
