Makan Makan!!

Yesterday was about eating, hee.... I had my 3-hr lunch (seriously not intended) at Hilton Singapore. The 4-course lunch was really served 'course-by-course'. Started our lunch at 12plus... 2 hours later, we're only at the third course - the main. The food arrived at our table like little cute objects with very nice presentation.

Besides that, I must say the ambience was really good too... Classy and romantic :) Hee, this is the time where i would say "i love my job" haha... Cos you get to explore nice hotels, makan and travel.

My lunch :)

This is REALLY good! Molton Choc Cake ~ Yummies

Place: Hilton Singapore, Level 3 - Harbour Grill & Oyster Bar

Price: SGD 38++ for 3-course set lunch / 42++ for 4-course set lunch
(with wine SGD 65 - 118)

At night, Mr. G and i went for dinner at West Lake.. Ah, the place i always refer to the 'best kong ba bao' in Singapore, hee....

We've got to finish this table of food :)

Wrapping braised pork with bao

Place: West Lake - Blk 4 Queens Road #02-139

Price: Apprx SGD 15 ~ 20 per pax (depends on what you order too )

Okies, time to go out! Meeting Evil Jojo, Meanie and EO for partie tonight! :)

Ampang Yong Tou Fou

This is a place you can try if you're looking for a simple dinner. I'm not a fan of Yong Tou Fou cos i don't really like the normal 'sweet sauce'. And this place offers a different kind... it's call Hakka Yong Tou Fou, (客家)正宗安邦酿豆腐.

The first time Mr. G brought me here.. i 'fall in love' with it... especially the sauce, very yummy :) Oh ya, try to be there before 7pm cos the it's usually pretty pack after that timing.

This is the place :)

Try it yourself to taste the difference ^^

Place: 928 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 787121

Price: SGD 9.20 for a set for two + Dumpling Soup + Drinks (really value for money)

Reunion Dinner with G-Family

Last night i had reunion dinner with Mr. G's family and supposingly, he will pick me up from work to head down together. Sigh... who knows, that 'zoom zoom' (his car) is giving him some hiccups.. so i need to wait for him at home instead.

So while waiting, i was trying to 'doll up' myself.... which ended up, inspired me to wanna cut my fringe today! Heee...

Attempt to "Doll" up :p

So by time we reach Long Beach at Dempsy Road, it was close to 8.3opm already - I am super HUNGRY. The first dish (Claypot Sharks' Fin) i thoought was the BEST! Though the below picture don't do justice to it... but it's like hmm... soup base's yummy + every mouthful is filled with sharks' fin, hahaha.. *Tempting??* heee... Of cos, not forgeting my favourite -Chilli crabbies!

1st Dish (left) - E yummie Claypot sharks fin *Slurps*

Mr. G with his newphew & niece / Me with Mr. G's mama & Serene

After dinner, heee.. Can smile le :)

The whole dinner was good but the damage, heee... was pretty high too! For a 7-course dinner set (7-8 pax), it cost SGD 770! Which i guess mostly went to the sharks' fin & crabbie.

Dinner at Sakura

Just came back from buffet dinner not too long. Though I’m not feeling too well today but I had a good gathering session with the girls. Bascially we were a noisy group, loads of laughter and chatting throughout the dinner :)

Munching away... :)

The Fun Group!

Noormie is not that 'serious' afterall, heeee....

Place: Sakura International Buffet @ Orchard Shopping Centre
Food: Average i would say - Food are still fresh though.
Price: SGD 27.80

Oh ya, I’ve just completed the Korean Drama yesterday – Couple or Trouble. May I recommend to ALL friends who have not watch this show to catch it?? Heee… Cos this show is really great!! *Blinks*

Katong Laksa at Queensway

My weekends spent as usual - went movie, KTV & shopping.

Went to watch the movie, Aliens Vs Predator 2 on Saturday night but I didn't really find the movie as interesting as i thought it would be and there are many dark scenes - so meaning you can't see very the details of those aliens & predators clearly. So just headed back to continue on my current Korean Drama - Couple or Trouble (Couple Fantasy) (recommended & rent by Noormie, hee). This drama is kinda a must-see!! *Highly recommended*

Next to recommend: Katong Laksa at Queensway Shopping Centre

The Yummy Katong Laksa @ Queensway, L1

Price: SGD 3.00
Taste: Yummies!! Soup base is really nice. Unlike some places where the soup base is already very spicy even without chilli, here you could add the chilli paste and mix the spiciness according to your preference - love it to bits! Hee...

And i ended my Sunday hanging out at Party World with Mr. G :)

Look at our silly faces

my $32 Dollars Laksa

Today's Lunch Menu: Super Laksa recommended by Cafe Brios' Chef

looks yummie?? heee... e most expensive laksa i've eaten

Speciality: Comes with Lobster pieces, Prawns, Scallops etc

The Taste: Average only, nothing spectacular. Basically you pay for the seafood.

The Presentation: Good! Looks yummie & you just feel like taking a bite.

Overall: After taxes, this bowl of super laksa cost $32!! Hmm, i don't think i will pay on my own for this bowl of laksa... Think i prefer those 3 buckeros famous Katong Laksa, heee.... :)

Waraku - The Central Branch

Last evening, i met up with my group of friends for dinner at Waraku. I've never been there but was recommended by SH - she says the jap food there is nice, especially their paper steamboat & prawn tempura - Must Try, hee...

Initially i wanted to go to the one at Cuppage but Sha Sha said The Central Branch is not that 'smelly' so we went there instead. But when i called to reserve a seat on Friday, they said it's fully booked! Think next time gotta call much earlier to reserve seats - which means now we will need to go down to take the queue no.

waiting for our seats

So nice.. they served u drinks while waiting. Meanwhile we went to the Yamakawa Supermarket @ the basement - they sell all kinds of tibits and stuff imported from Japan. All the packaging there look sooooo 'kawaii', heee... We manage to get our seats after 40mins of waiting - all our stomach r calling for fooooood!! i ordered e Kaminabe Wazen cos it comes with e paper steamboat + prawn tempura + sashimi (all-in-one)

my paper steamboat - Beef with Clear Soup Base

Me & Princess Sha Sha

May, Ken, Yaodong, Sha, PJ & Donn

After our dinner we all went to a nearby KTV pub @ Boat Quay. Sha & Me feel like back to old days when we stepped in, wahaha... like back to e days when we were around 18, we used to go to a KTV pub at Tanjong Pagar (those were the days) ^^

oh man, my face is sooo red - barely had 2 cups of drinks only

to Geylang for Dinner

i'm not so moody now cos Mr. G's gastric is kinda getting much better le. Thgh he didn't go to work today & rested at home, but still he has to go for his tuition - Responsible teacher wor, hee heee. Since he's feeling better we decided to eat out & he picked me up from work.

Of cos of cos.... no oily food nor fried stuff, so we decided to eat porridge ~ yeah! to Geylang for Frog Porridge (砂锅活田鸡粥) - Yummies! ^^ But one thing at Geylang is that parking is difficult so only manged to find a parking lot after turning a few rounds thgh e spot is not very ideal cos it's just right infront of Hotel 81 & there are many 'girls' standing around there. So me decided to put on cardigan, hahahha... cos my skirt today's abit short eh.

e place we had our Frog Porridge

look at e steam... wooooo

i'm gg to start.... :)

Sick Mr. G & i makaning... :)

Something fun about geylang is that first, there's quite alot of nice food there & you can also see a group of different people (oh ya, we saw aunties singing Karaoke at open Kopi-tiam) & 'interesting couples' - those old uncles & young china girls holding hands, heeee....

Yeah.. stomach's filled up - time to go home ^^

After dinner, we just headed back home to rent our TVB serial & rest. Oh ya, hee.. on our way back, we passed by a coffee shop where there's a stall selling Crocodile Bak Kut Teh, so interesting, heee.. so i took a picture of it! ;p

Anyone tried this before??

Mr. G can still joke eh.. Meaning he's ok le :)

Conrad Mooncakes ~ Nice

I tried Conrad's mooncake last yr at a festive fair but didnt' get a chance to buy it as it was too last min. & all their mooncakes were sold out *not even one box left*... Hee, so i tell myself, tis year, die die must get... :)

After such a long wait (1 yr!), e festive season is back again! Hmm.. actually was quite last min. tis round too as i only called to reserved e mooncakes on Tues, while at HK. Luckily, it's still available, otherwise i would have scold myself for being last min again.

So tis evening, we headed down to Conrad & collect our mooncakes *with my new red shoes, hee*. Actuallie Mr. G thght he must well get some mooncakes at Conrad since he needs to get it for his clients too. But i've called Conrad yesterday & checked for him... they say "Sold Out". Whoa... abit 'kua zhang' eh.. cos they said its sold out & might not have stock coming in even on Sat/Sun. Okies, so we jus try our luck today..... & hee.... Mr. G manage to get another 4 boxes (but only v.limited types left thgh). Well, at least, we dun need to go run to another place to find.

Happie i got my mooncakes (can u spot puffy fish? heee) ^-^

We headed back to car to drop e mooncakes first, cos they're quite heavy... Stomach is growling... but before we take our dinner, Mr. G wanna go get his CDs first since we parked at Millenium Towers & Sembawang Music is jus there. Hee, Mr. G wanna get e OST of 881... yes, 881 ;)

After our dinner, we went shoppin at Suntec.... Mr. G's bought some clothes & actuallie i wanted to.. but but, need to be discipline cos i say 'no shoopin today', hee... n i did it!! my legs began to feel tired shortly... guess it's becos of my new red shoe... so we shopped abt an hr & decided we should head home to rest. Actuallie planned to meet up w/my cousins today cos Cousin Pang is back frm Shanghai but tink Mr. G needs some rest le so will meet them again sometime on e following wk :)

some snaps taken while restin outside millenium towers... my legs need to rest

~ Our 2nd Year Anniversay ~

Time flies & today is our 2nd year anniversay, hee... Lucikly i came back today, otherwise we would hav miss tis day together again (which i reallie hope not).

I touched down Sg ard 5.10pm today & immediately i head home to prepare & wait for Mr. G to be back as we planned to go out for dinner today *can't wait to see him ;p*.

At first we wanted to hav jap food for dinner & went to Vivo City to search for a restuarant... Ended up we went to Marche instead cos Sushi Tei's queue was pretti long, arh.... despite it's wkday. i was quite shock tat e Marche at Vivo was pretti small, well, cos frm outside, it looks rather spacious. Anyway, we mange to get a seat within 5 mins & start explorin e food.

I would give an average to their food there as e.g. e rosti was not v.well cook (which is kinda my must-eat item), so abit disappointed.. Hee, Mr. G then suggest maybe we could go to hav some light food afterwards. We shopped awhile at Vivo & yeappie..... me got a pair of red shoes which i hav been always searchin fo tat colour - but jus dun seem to see e right design many times.

Me & Dearie outside Marche

While walkin back to e carpark, food came into our mind, heee... so we went to eat some light food at Toast Box. A happie day for me today & i just look forward to celebrating more anniversaries with Mr. G *wink wink*

Me & my Red Shoe.. shhhh....

Last Nite @ HK ~ i miss Dearie

Today's my last nite for this trip but we were too tired to go out till too late also as SH & Beanie have to get up early tom. So we jus went out as planned, to Central for dinner, H&M & Lan Kwai Fong.

Luckily i called early tis morning to book a seat @ Yung Kee, otherwise we gonna wait for 45 mins to get a seat. Should u visit there next time, must must remember to call & reserve a seat cos it's always super long queue at e resturant :)

We had, of cos a must eat there, Roasted Goose + 1 meat + 1 veg + 1 soup + Noodles + Desserts, totalling a bill of HKD 810... Hmm, abit exp thgh.. but nvrmind, still within allowance, hee hee.. Other than e must-eat Roasted Goose, i guess i would recommend their desserts too! Esp. their mini egg tarts (酥皮蛋挞） *nice nice*

Dinner @ Yung Kee Restaurant

At Central, HK

After dinner, we wanted to rush to H&M, but so sad.. esp. Jasmin, e shop closed at 9pm :( so we headed back to Causeway Bay instead as we didnt' want to shop till too late; SH & Beanie still gotta wake up early e next day. Who knows, we ended up shoppin again... bought some clothes & make-ups.. by time we reach hotel, it was 11+ oreadie. Hee, i guess gals jus cant' skip shoppin eh, despite how we hard we planned not to gai gai till late nite :)

SH & Beanie touched down in e afternoon & came to e site, prepare things for tomorrow & off we head back to hotel, change & went off for dinner. We planned to go to Tsimshatsui for dinner as we wanted to visit the Outback which we used to come almost every trip...

Look at e humongous beef steak.. yummies ~ love it in medium rare :)

Makaning @ Outback

We only took around 1.5 hours for e whole dinner & as I said yesterday, our bag freak ~ Beanie needs to go visit e Aunite @ Mongkok. So we went Mongkok again... Maybe becos we were quite tired in a way, i forgot my main aim is to visit e Esprit Outlet... alamak.. Anyway, we'll be gg to H&M at Central tomorrow & will see if i can go make time to visit Esprit outlet tomorrow :)

After dinner, we met up with friends for a drink at 弹唱人, a place at Tanjong pagar, near to Red Dot traffic. Our second time there & the place is not too bad, cos not much crowd... jus tat e drinks abit exp - but i guess it's becos they hav live singin there.. like 木船.

Partie 5.0 ~ ON

TGIF, time to Partie! Oh... today we were all happier than usual as we celebrate our "birdless" day!! Partie group includes Jo + Seow Hui (SH) + Esther (EO) + Ina & Me!!.

It's approachig 8pm by time we reach bugis for steamboat & we were all v.hungry & tired. Tink e most tiring person is Ina whom came straight frm sentosa & stayed all e way to 3am!

Our dinner @ Xian De Lai Steamboat Buffet ($17.80/pax)
my thoughts:

1. Food are fresh but choices were rather limited
2. Service is too slow, keep forgetting what we ordered
3. Soup base not too salty, quite nice

my ratings: 6.5/10


After our 3-hour steamboat, hee... next will be dessert time!! Oh man, u really must see how PC babes eat desserts.. Thumbs up to Noormie who is ever advanterous (Durian + Avocado, Strawberry + Blueberry Ice).. everything to her is like "NICE!" hee.... SH --> she can jus finish her big pack of jap lunch, drink a big cup of ice lemon tea, then cont'd with her ice blended Starbucks coffee & maybe another ice kachang! hee...

Our Dessert @ Ji De Chi 记得吃 ($2 ~ 6/bowl)
my thoughts:

1. Okie, e MUST-TRY.. hee, my fav Peanut Paste (simply uber smooth w/thick peanut taste) ~ yummiesss
2. Basically all their paste item r good. If u feel like havin some hot desserts, it'll be a gd place :)

my ratings: 9/10.

After our dessert, hmm... close to midnite le... Still wonderin where we should go, we went toilet-search first then still yet to decide a place, we walked out of Bugis Junction & cont'd strolling. I got a feel it's like back to old sch days where u'll walk in a grp, then everyone was like asking, "where r we going?" :) Finally.... we walked to...

Our Partie @ Loof ($14 ~ $22/cocktail or beer)
my thoughts:

1. Nice embience.. oh, remember to keep ur fingers' crossed & sing "rain, rain, go away.... "
2. Good place to chill out, chat, star-gazing.. music not extremely loud (gd)
3. Sofa rooms... v.comfy & nice! v.cosy & i would prefer tis compare to e outdoor. Too bad, as they have only 4 or 5 rooms, u need to be really luckie to get one!

my ratings: 8.5/10

Overall, PARTIE 5.0 - Successful! Fun nite with e gals... & i wan another outing!! heee..... ;p

i m soooo red :s
