Taking a tasty gamble on Singapore
I once dated a guy who halfway through our relationship was grumbling about having taken me to the best restaurants in Sydney and the expense that I had incurred on his credit card.
"I should have started in the mid price range and then I could have worked my way up to the top. Now you’ll be expecting five-star three-hat restaurants all the time."
I looked at him like he was crazy. "What makes you think I would have dated you if you had started in the middle range?"
(It’s not strictly true. My first date with Mr NQN was bad take away pizza. But then I thought Mr NQN was much more fabulous than this guy.)
But in any case, I couldn’t help thinking about this ex of mine when I arrived in Singapore to be whisked away to dinner at Waku Ghin, Tetsuya Wakuda’s new restaurant in Singapore. With food completely unlike his Tetsuya’s restaurant in Sydney and only seating a mere 25 people at one time, it was something that I was more than curious about. And when Mr NQN took my place at the Waku Ghin dinner in Sydney there was much gnashing of the teeth and moaning as I was committed to another event. But no matter, I finally got to try it here! It’s no ordinary dinner, costing about $S400 ($A307) per head, but it has a clear emphasis on Japanese cuisine as opposed to the French Japanese cuisine at Tetsuya’s.
We walk into the Marina Bay Sands complex. There are shops from Miu Miu, Gucci, Chanel and the mother lode, a Manolo Blahnik shoe shop. We make our way up to the second floor where we look down and see floors and floors of the casino. I’m not one for gambling, but because they allow for smoking here some of the cigarette smoke does end up in Waku Ghin, so there was a bit of sniffling throughout the night from yours truly who is allergic to cigarette smoke.
There is an illuminated sign above the doors and white drapes on the outside giving it an almost 'closed' look. But then the doors swing open and a battalion of staff greet us. And given that the restaurant seats 25 there has got to be at least 25 staff in both the kitchen and on the floor.
The restaurant experience was said to be one where you move from one table to another, but in reality it is much less complicated than that. There are two seatings, one at 6pm and one at 9:30pm. The diner is led to a room where the savoury courses are brought out (about eight in total) and then you adjourn to another room for the dessert courses. I was envisaging much more getting up and down so I am relieved given my heels!
We are seated in front of a long grill plate and facing a wall with protruding wood blocks. Ghin means silver in Japanese and for this restaurant it is represented in the knives, the grill and even things like fish, which feature prominently on the menu. Shortly after we arrive we settle in with a glass of NV Pol Roger to soothe the nerves after travelling.
The first course is a seasonal Japanese fish called Sayori, or needlefish, with Nanohana and Japanese strawberry. Now I usually run screaming from savoury dishes with strawberry in them. I don’t mind some fruit but strawberries are not a favourite with savoury. This changed my mind completely.

Consumer Shoe Index
I've always considered shoe catalogs to be a relatively safe pleasure, if only because a new pair of shoes — unlike new clothes — can be counted on to provide a jolt of fashion without leaving one breathless with anxiety. Or so it used to be until the appearance of Bergdorf Goodman's spring shoe catalog. From the first item on, which is a crazy quilt of a Dries van Noten sandal that rings in at $920, it is clear that one should beware all enterprises requiring new shoes. Which is not to say that there isn't the occasional bargain, such as a Manolo Blahnik ballet flat for $665 (!) But if you're looking for the kind of footwear that will knock somebody's socks off (e.g., Azzedine Alaïa's bootie, above), the new normal hovers around $2,000. And then there's Alexander McQueen's gold T-strap wedge, set on a heel that's five and a half inches, and calls for an outlay of $3,495. If you think too hard about any of this, it can make you weep.

Shoe Showdown
When it comes to high-heeled shoes, many women seem to lose all sense of reality. A just-released consumer reports Shopsmart survey reveals 60 percent are willing to tolerate painful shoes for fashion's sake.
The shoes on display at this Manolo Blahnik Boutique are quite stunning. You can easily spend a small fortune here. Anywhere from several hundred to thousands of dollars.
To find out if high-end, expensive shoes are worth the high price, consumer reports rounded up more than a dozen eager employees to try out three different pairs.
"We covered up all the labels so the women couldn't tell which were the less expensive pairs of shoes and which were the expensive ones," Mandy Walker said.
The shoes included a $30 pair of Mossimo's from Target, $69 heels from Nine West, and this $575 pair from Manolo Blahnik.
The women walked a defined course twice a day for a week in each pair of shoes. They filled out a ballot each time.
Most of the women thought two pairs looked and felt pretty good, but not the $30 pair from Target.
"I was holding onto the wall when I was walking around the building testing them," Cathy Cotters said.
"These shoes were the most uncomfortable of the ones that we tested," Lisa Gill said.
To size up how well each shoe was made, consumer reports did the unthinkable, cutting the shoes in half.
"Overall the Manolos were a better-made shoe. The materials they were made of were superior, and many of the women liked the styling, too."
Consumer reports says good leather heels need special care. It's best not to wear them two days in a row. That gives the shoes time to dry out.
However, in the blind tests more women thought the $69 Nine West shoes were more comfortable.
Consumer reports says the smart money move with high heels - make fit the deciding factor.
"Determine the style you want, what your budget is, and if they feel good when you walk around in them, buy them," Walker said.
And forget wearing them out in bad weather. One step in a puddle with oil, gas, or road salt and you can ruin them.

Tamara Mellon is at the heart and sole of Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo's heart and soul - and sole, too - belongs to a woman. Tamara Mellon is growing the luxury brand that has built its reputation on towering high heels into a full-fledged fashion house.
She works on it every single day, she says, and she lives it, too.
She is jet-setter, with her stylish leather luggage (and the wet wipes tucked in her weekender - as she's also a bit of a germophobe); she is business executive, recently being named a business ambassador by British Prime Minister David Cameron; she's eager creative sponge, one season becoming an expert on the life and times of Blondie's Deborah Harry, who was her inspiration; and she's single mother, who wears Uggs or Wellies, depending on the weather, to the park to play with her 8-year-old daughter.
However, as a can-do person, Mellon tackled that whole comfort-mom wardrobe thing head-on, working with both Uggs and Hunter to develop Jimmy Choo-cross branded products that would meet her own style standards.
Her shoes, wardrobe, hair and makeup each time she walks out the door can't be an afterthought, says Mellon. She's wearing a leopard-print sheath and pointy-toe patent pumps on this day for an interview in a plush private room at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship on Fifth Avenue before a public appearance to promote the new Choo fragrance.
"I do have to think about how I look - and it's really in you or it isn't if you care - but I have to be the brand," she says. It's not all black tie and red carpet, mind you, she says, although those are the photos people will see. But when she goes to the office, the outfit will still be chic, fashion-forward and "on the right side of sexy" - complemented with her biker boots.
Anamaria Wilson, fashion news director for Harper's Bazaar, says Mellon's stamp is all over every piece. "The collection is chic and refined, but with a sexy sensibility - much like Tamara herself."
If she wouldn't wear something, there's really no point in offering it to other women, right? Mellon wonders aloud. "If you think you can rely on some sort of science for all this, you will make a mistake. Fashion is about emotion. It's about, 'What do I want?' and 'What do women want?'"
Considering the number of shoppers lined up to speak to Mellon on Saks' first floor - definitely dozens - it seems Mellon hears regularly from customers. They want fashion advice, style tips and even guidance on what shoes to wear for their wedding day.
Her answer - to all of them: "My favorite thing to tell people is, 'Dare to do it and don't be afraid.'"
Mellon was accessories editor at British Vogue back in 1996 when she sensed the opening for a new collection of luxury-label shoes to rival the likes of Manolo Blahnik. Jimmy Choo, the man, had a reputation of craftsmanship for his small couture-level business based in East London.
They launched the brand together, moving production to Italy and courting retailers as well as opening their own boutique. Equinox Luxury Holdings bought him out of his share in 2001, and in 2007, a private equity firm bought a majority of shares, although Mellon retains creative control.
She knew she had a success on her hands, er, feet, when, in 1998, a flood of boxes arrived at the Motcomb Street store and she was surrounded by what she felt were little works of wearable art. "That's when my vision came to life," Mellon says. "I can still get that excited - you know when you get that rush when you feel you've got it right."
Mellon says it took years to develop the fragrance because it had to be the perfect blend, one that she thinks she and her customers will want to wear on a daily basis for years to come. She wanted it "sensual - and not weak in any way," she explains, ultimately settling on a scent dominated by orchid and patchouli notes.
She'll spray it on every time she's about to disembark a plane to her next destination, hoping it'll become part of the signature style that is Tamara Mellon - and Jimmy Choo.

MARCHING INTO SPRING
This spring, wearing camouflage won't help anyone stay under the radar. With designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Prada and Michael Kors creating high-end pieces and popular outlets such as Target and Payless Shoes offering budget-friendly examples, the green-and-brown print is attracting lots of attention.
"Camo is coming to a more mainstream market now; I think we will start to see it more and more," says Debbie Feehan of Madison, chief creative officer of Huckle and Gatsby, a Jersey-based clothing line for women.
Traditionally worn by hunters and members of the military, camouflage prints have been popping up on pop stars such as Beyonce, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian. Even comedian-turned-fashion-policewoman Joan Rivers is hawking her own design of camouflage pumps on the QVC home shopping network.
Wearing camouflage no longer necessarily translates to a tough look. This season, the print can be found on feminine items such as high heels, fitted skirts and silky blouses.
Victoria's Secret even offers a camouflage ruched corset, and there's a large selection of camouflage-inspired wedding dresses available at camoformal.com, a website that caters to women who embrace the trend.
Feehan explains that camouflage prints can be dressed up or down, depending on the material used.
"I think the pattern is really changed by what it is printed on," she says. "If it is silk, it is going to look very feminine, while cargo pants are going to look more masculine. It depends on what you are making out of it."
Joy Cutrone, a representative for the upcoming New Jersey Fashion Week in October, says she loves the look and thinks it can be very feminine when appearing on straight skirts, fitted shirts, shoes and bags.
She warns that the busy design isn't always flattering, however.
"I think a camouflage print really accentuates whatever part of the body it's on," says Cutrone, a Woodbridge resident who wears the crown of Mrs. Middlesex County. "So you don't want to wear it across any area you are trying to disguise."

Spanish cuisine the latest 'it' food
GIRLS, put on your favourite pair of Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals, grab your partner and step out Spanish style.
From falafel to fettuccine, from French to Finnish, from fresh to fast, food is a fad, subject to the fate of fashion - and following the latest trend allows for fearless fun and fine feasting, flamenco style!
It's sexy, sultry and just a little bit spicy and, according to renowned Brisbane food critic, Jan Power, Spain is the new 'it' place for fabulous and fashionable food, well on its way to being the number one international cuisine in Brisbane.
"Spanish food is the new fashion; it's quite glamorous and it's always been there but now people are discovering it's really worth it," Ms Power said.
"Spanish food is very popular in Brisbane and as we have a similar climate and similar personalities it works because we always need a change in fashion.

"I'm a total fan of Spain, they do everything well, eating to them is a total social component and something to share."
The Mediterranean diet appears to be in sync with both the Queensland climate and its health conscious, trendy population. The ingredients used in Spanish cooking are known to be fresh, natural and nourishing, with liberal use of herbs, oils and spices delivering scintillating flavours.
Brisbanites are jumping on the Mediterranean bandwagon with nine Spanish restaurants currently operating within a 5 kilometre radius of Brisbane's CBD. Additionally through the popularity of television programs such as Masterchef Australia and My Kitchen Rules, people are becoming more adventurous and trying new delicacies at fine dining eateries and backstreet cafes or even sharing tapas and sangria on their backyard deck.
Cooking classes around Brisbane including Mondo Organics at West End are incorporating classes solely devoted to the craft of learning Spanish cooking, with Chef Paul Horne sharing modern recipes for sophisticated tapas.
Language and Latin dance schools also have more people learning Spanish and the sexy, seductive and sultry moves of the Tango and the Samba. Latin dance teacher Anthea Tert, who's been dancing for 33 years, says the Spanish way of life is taking over as the international flavour in terms of music, culture, food and dance.
"I teach private classes and there has been a huge growth in popularity in the past two years as there are more people wanting to learn just for fun," Mrs Tert said.
"Spanish music is very rich, it makes you feel like dancing and it has a special way of reaching people internally," she said.
Brisbane is following the international rise in popularity of Spanish cuisine. Recent results from the 2010 San Pellegrino's World's Best 50 restaurants, found restaurants in Spain hold four of the top 10 positions worldwide.
Owner of Pintxo Spanish Taperia Tapas Restaurant in Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, Melissa Telecican, attributes Spanish food's popularity with an assortment of various taste sensations and its unique social atmosphere.
"People like having variety and trying lots of different things and as the food comes out gradually on a tapas train it makes it ideal for the individual, couples or larger social groups," Mrs Telecian said.
"We have Spanish tourists drop by for an authentic meal, however, we mainly cater to Brisbane locals, particularly those who have travelled to Spain and are passionate about the food and culture.
"I opened the restaurant after a trip to Spain, realising there were Spanish quarters in both Sydney and Melbourne yet there was a market for Spanish food in Brisbane that had yet to be discovered," Mrs Telecican said.
A patron dining at Pintxo, Jason Quinell, said he would definitely be back.
"It's my first time trying Spanish food and I love it," he said.
As Spanish cuisine is sizzling hot right now, step out before summer ends, sangria in one hand, flamenco fan in the other and adopt a fearless fixation for the 'latest' fashionable food.
From falafel to fettuccine, from French to Finnish, from fresh to fast, food is a fad, subject to the fate of fashion - and following the latest trend allows for fearless fun and fine feasting, flamenco style!
It's sexy, sultry and just a little bit spicy and, according to renowned Brisbane food critic, Jan Power, Spain is the new 'it' place for fabulous and fashionable food, well on its way to being the number one international cuisine in Brisbane.
"Spanish food is the new fashion; it's quite glamorous and it's always been there but now people are discovering it's really worth it," Ms Power said.
"Spanish food is very popular in Brisbane and as we have a similar climate and similar personalities it works because we always need a change in fashion.

The Mediterranean diet appears to be in sync with both the Queensland climate and its health conscious, trendy population. The ingredients used in Spanish cooking are known to be fresh, natural and nourishing, with liberal use of herbs, oils and spices delivering scintillating flavours.
Brisbanites are jumping on the Mediterranean bandwagon with nine Spanish restaurants currently operating within a 5 kilometre radius of Brisbane's CBD. Additionally through the popularity of television programs such as Masterchef Australia and My Kitchen Rules, people are becoming more adventurous and trying new delicacies at fine dining eateries and backstreet cafes or even sharing tapas and sangria on their backyard deck.
Cooking classes around Brisbane including Mondo Organics at West End are incorporating classes solely devoted to the craft of learning Spanish cooking, with Chef Paul Horne sharing modern recipes for sophisticated tapas.
Language and Latin dance schools also have more people learning Spanish and the sexy, seductive and sultry moves of the Tango and the Samba. Latin dance teacher Anthea Tert, who's been dancing for 33 years, says the Spanish way of life is taking over as the international flavour in terms of music, culture, food and dance.
"I teach private classes and there has been a huge growth in popularity in the past two years as there are more people wanting to learn just for fun," Mrs Tert said.
"Spanish music is very rich, it makes you feel like dancing and it has a special way of reaching people internally," she said.
