Yum Cha!



Yum Cha.. Dim Sum buffet. eat till you merlion! but too bad this time we dint manage to make Zj merlion.. it was a cosy lunch w the dearest lycan family at the china town yum cha.. its really nice and comfy to hang out w them.. feels very family..


the food quality is pretty good.. the egg tarts rocks! its so good that nana ate 8 by herself! its freshly baked and it melts in your mouth! good dim sum at a affordable price!



lunch was followed by a tour around china town.. we feel like tourist! and boon pin gave us a tour around An Siang Road. and its surprisingly interesting.. its totally different from the cheena feel of china town.. its like a Haji Lane kind of street shopping with boutiques of famous brands like Agnes B. and Fred Perry and alot of very nice chill our bar.. ezann and i were super thrilled by the tour.. for once boon pin recommendation got standard!

SweetStone

Sweet Stone al Fresco Cafe.. its a desert cafeopened by my friend, Keith, my gd friend at Huttons.. and on Sat they are giving out FREE ice cream to celebrate their opening! so if you are around bishan this weekend.. do pop by for free ice cream!!! and of course the very famous belgium waffles ! Yummy! i cant wait to try them myself!

Stewards RiverBoat




Stewards Riverboat.. Another interesting food place worth going.. the food is really good and the dining experience is super cool.. its a restaurant inside a boat..this boat use to be at sentoas but have since move to marina bay. they serve texas mexican style of food.






dint manage to take nice pics of the food.. so just decide to grab pics off the web.. they are famous for their Fajita.. its like a wrap.. like taco bell style except tt u get to do it yourself. their grill stuff also very nice!

it was a nice cosy dinner w gek shan treivn and jouie.. we went there for dinner cus gek is considering it as a venue for her 21st birthday and she is asking for our opinion.. the food is definitely good.. the place setting and ambiance is excellent.. the only concern we had was how the boat would sway with the waves... old ppl may get sea sick.. but besides tt.. it was a great experience..


and the boat has a beautiful top deck that faces the sea! very nice and romantic.. this place is at marina bay area.. they provide free shutter bus! so its pretty accessible! can check them out at their webby.. http://www.riverboat.com.sg/index.html









LapTop Hunt

I went shopping yesterday..but its not any normal shopping trip.. i went shopping at Funan Digital Life Mall.. shows that i am a pretty sophisticated person k! well the purpose of the trip is to source for a new lappy cus my pink viao is going crazy..




and the ppl in the mall is really weird.. they dun seem to speak English.. they speak in some alien codes.. like GB, MB, RAM.. and so on... they would speak one whole chunk of that language to me.. i try to look like i understand them..



I m glad i brought along my interpreter.. Eug Lee! hahaa.. he totally understands them and he would jus break down the terms to something i can understand.. but when i start asking questions like.. wad colour do u have, do u have it in pink.. he says i m being bimbotic.. but then those are genuine concerns.. the men just dun get it.. oh well.. haha..

girls night out..

Mani and Pedicure at $5 each!! Omg its like the best deal in town.. Shan gek and i finally met up since school started.. and we went to get our nails painted.. the shop is located at far east shopping centre.. level 5 i think.. cant remember exactly where..we got our hands n feet done at only $10 dollars.. i got nice purple finger nails now.. well, my toe nails suppose to be yellow.. but it turn out looking like mucus.. gross.. so i got them painted black..

next we went to dine this Jap place, Wasabi Tei, which is super popular and queue at lunch time is crazy.. well, the place is really interesting.. it has a very rustic feel.. nothing fanciful or posh like the usual jap restaurant.. this place gives u the authentic feel of dining in a family style jap eatery.. and the food quality is GOOD and the portions were generous! and price is reasonable! its about $10 for a meal which comes w drinks, soup, starters, main and fruits.. we ordered sashimi and they came in thick slices n were really fresh.. we had teriyaki chicken for our set and i finished everything.. i rarely finish my food unless they taste gd..

2am Dessert Bar

a meal is not complete without desert.. but it was kinda late already and most places were close.. so we drove down to 2am Dessert bar at Holland v. the place is super nice and really gets you into a relaxing mood.. and the desert is really interesting.. very unique and unexpected..


Amedei Chilli Chocolate

it was 3 chunks of dark chocolate which look hard and crunchy when served.. then when we sink our fork in.. we were surprise that it was soft and creamy. nothing like how it appears to be. the first taste you get is the bittersweet dark chocolate followed by a mild chili after taste.. i never tasted chili in my desert before! interesting experience..


Cheesecake Espuma

then we also ordered cheese cake.. and it dint turn out to be anything we imagine.. its not the typical cheese cake as u can see from the picture.. its more like mousse/cream which taste like cheese cake.. and it comes with butter cookies crumbs underneath.. the cream is very light and nice..

thats the end of girls night out.. the 2 food places mentioned above is worth trying.. yups.. oh and i m having term break now.. but its so boring.. could have been in Bangkok like now if not for caderam's lungs.. :( but i guess if we went we would have drown in projects when we return.. i am already drowning now.. ahh!

Chicken Rice

Tyler's Chicken Rice Party..
it was so random when i got the text from him inviting us to his house for chicken rice.. it was a small gathering.. just me, nelson, brad, jo and tyler (steph why u nt here!!).. and tyler cooked up a feast! It felt like is was some chinese new year dinner!

look at the amount of food on the table.. 1 whole chicken.. sambal seafood platter( the one wrap in the foil) chicken soup, stir fry veg in oyster sauce and Chicken rice balls!


the rice is super nice!


and there were even desert and wine after dinner! i was so full after the whole meal! we spend the rest of the night chit chatting.. its like probably the first time i sat down and have proper dinner with this group of ppl.. most of the time we just meet at zouk or parties.. and i wish steph was there! but she is in Germany having so so much fun.. jealous!
