The F-Word: Week 7

Fashion: Find your perfect sunglasses according to your face shape!

HEART-SHAPED FACE

If you have a sweetheart shape like Reese Witherspoon, look for frames with rounded upper corners to draw attention away from the forehead. Square bottoms will soften the chin, but on top, stay clear of any hard horizontals.

A heart-shaped face like Reese Witherspoon’s has a wide top and tapers down to a narrow chin. Hearts look fab in frames that are narrower on top and wider toward the bottom. Light or rimless shades flatter too.

LONG FACE

If you have a long face like Sarah Jessica Parker, look for wide frames to break up the length and oval or round shapes to give the illusion of greater width. Avoid anything with vertical lines – it will only make you look longer.

An oblong face like Sarah Jessica Parker’s is longer than it is wide, and looks best in frames that are deep from top to bottom or have decorative temple details. Temple details draw the eye to the middle of the head where the ears are and break up the length of the face.

ROUND FACE

If you have a round face like Kate Bosworth, look for angular frames that contrast with your curves to create a longer and slimmer look. Opt for shades with squared-off bottoms, and skip very rounded or curved styles.

A round face like Charlize Theron’s has the same measurements in both the width and the length. A round face looks great in angular, narrow frames like rectangles or geometric shapes because these styles break up the monotony.

OVAL FACE

If you have an oval face like Halle Berry, you're a lucky gal. You can wear any style you'd like, as long as it works with your proportions. Just avoid swooping sidepieces that can drag your look down.

An oval- or egg-shaped face like Gwen Stefani’s is perfectly symmetrical. It looks great in almost any style, but wraparounds often look most modern. They scream “timeless sporty cool.”

DIAMOND FACE

A diamond-shaped face like Jennifer Aniston’s has high cheekbones and is narrow at the eye line and jawline. A diamond looks fab in square or rimless frames because the frames balance out the widest and narrowest parts of the face.

SQUARE FACE

If you have a square face like Paris Hilton, look for gently curved oval or round frames to lengthen the face – think aviators over any square styles.

A square face like Cameron Diaz’s has a broad forehead and a very strong jawline. Squares look wonderful in narrow frames like ovals, rounds, or sexy cat-eye styles.

Food: Carnivore

The Vibe

The restaurants logo sports the word “Carnivore” against a backdrop of flames, suggesting to patrons that you are in for a fiery good time indeed. An interior of mahogany shades awaits, the warm colours inviting and friendly. The delectable appetiser buffet greets you as you make your way in, and first-time visitors will be surprised by the way the buffet works: servers striding around the restaurant, brandishing huge skewers of meat in one hand, and a sharp knife in the other. Intimidating perhaps, but a rather interesting twist on the usual buffet styles. Select a table facing the harbour, for the view will truly make your experience all the more special. A four-piece live band plays on weekends, although how it fits into the allocated area is certainly food for thought.

The Food

The spread of meat available is almost jaw-dropping. Ranging from the usual suspects like beef rump, chicken thigh and pork sausages, there are also lesser-known alternatives such as snow fish, pineapple and for the truly adventurous, chicken heart. Do take note that certain items are only available during lunch or dinner. In between lunch and dinner, Carnivore also serves a range of sandwiches that will perk up any hungry shopper.

First things first; head for the appetiser buffet, which has a spread of vegetables, pasta, and bread. Surprisingly, some of the vegetable dishes have local influences and are quite tasty. The buffet changes daily to cater to picky eaters.

Once you are seated, friendly waiters ply you with their fare, almost making you feel guilty if you were to reject their offers. Try the delicious beef rump and honey ham, which are tasty and juicy. Nicely marinated and then grilled at optimum temperatures, the beef marinade was light and not too overwhelming or salty, as grilled food can sometimes be. The honey ham is just slightly sweet, adding a nice touch to the usual ham we are all used to. Seafood lovers, do try the Snowfish, which is mouthwateringly fragrant and excellently seasoned. Its taste is unforgettable and it's not surprising if you make a second trip to Carnivore just for this dish.

A range of desserts is also available for those who just need a dose of sugar to end off their meal. Some memorable ones on the menu are the Milanese-style banana( deep-fried banana smothered with bread crumb) and Passion Fruits Bavarian cream (puree of passion fruit with double cream & egg).

The Service

The friendly staff never ceases to ask you whether you would like yet another serving of beef, and your water glass is promptly filled when reaching empty. The smiling waiters and helpful service are delightful.
