Art piece bag, i want!!

Bilbao Bag, from Pleats Please by Issey Miyake
The Bilbao bag is not just a functional, waterproof tote that is distinctively recognisable in your hands. Personally, I find this bag a beautiful piece of art.

Apart from its geometrical structures, made up of synthetic triangle panels on mesh, the Bilbao must have been created by a visionary genius.
Technically speaking, the Bilbao bag is not from Issey Miyake per se, but falls under Issey Miyake’s secondary label Pleats Please.

As its outer surface is made up of triangles, the Bilbao has an ability to be folded in and out. From a flattened, tote shape, the triangles may be manipulated by hand and folded into each other to produce a base at the bottom of the bag, creating a rectangular or square base so as to adapt to the items you are carrying.At the same time, the handles are adjustable to your preferred length.In a luxurious yet fast-moving fashion age as ours, it is absolutely delightful to encounter a bag like the Bilbao, which is easily customizable and so ingeniously created. Personally, what is an additional exciting feature of the bag is its waterproof exterior, extremely suitable for Asian weather, which allows me to enjoy it even more than a leather bag.

I humbly suggest that you check out the Bilbao if you have not, it is an absolute favourite of mine. Bilbao belongs to the accessories range of Issey Miyake, called BAO BAO. Available at Issey Miyake, within Hilton Shopping Gallery, find the Bilbao in a variety of sizes starting at S$330.

Nando’s

Nando's is recently fave abt restaurants in sg. it originates from south africa (is i rem correctly). im nt totally unfamiliar with this name cos used to eat it in KL(famous), wonder y it took so long to shift the focus to sg.

when it open in bugis, my hubby n i went to try it out. his firsttime n my recall tasting hehahhaha. we wait for the kaisu crowd to tone down, then we went to savour it.

Rave reviews; its legendary Peri-Peri Flame-grilled Chicken and some of their popular sidelines are Mediterranean Rice and Old Style Chips. Bestseller Gourmet drinks(to me): bestseller Redbush Refresher (a combination of Rooibos Red Tea- sans caffeine, mint leaves and lemon grass) and Cape Verde Fresca (a blend of iced green tea and lime wedges).
Not to forget the ever-present bottles of Peri-Peri Sauce (Garlic Peri-Peri for the meek, Hot for the daring and Extra Hot for the audacious).

My usual is the 1/4 chicken thigh along with two side dishes; Peri-Peri fries and mediterranean rice. We also ordered the peri hummus and novo pita. Warm bread dipped in unique sauce. for me is ok still got standard, hehhhaha but not to my hubby liking.
So maybe second time, when we feel like it. NT so memorable!(added in by my hubby)
