Dinner before Doha

220310

Saizeriya

Liang Court

Dinner before FK flies to Doha for 2 weeks

These were chosen by FK. The garlic naan is a must try!

Strangely, I don't know why I like to order Squid Ink pasta. Generally, squid ink pasta doesn't taste WOW (just ok) but I simply like to eat it. Do I like it because of the colour?

BTW, never order Squid Ink Pasta from Olio Dome! It is totally disappointing!

Horfun wrapped in Newspaper

For the first time, I see food being wrapped in newspaper.

I don't think you will ever get to see this in SG...

The beef Horfun is delicious. So what if the packing is not nice? =P

My first visit to Asian Skin Solutions

I was supposed to try out their O2 facial treatment which is recommended by Xiaxue: http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2010/03/your-asian-skin-solution.html

But I ended up signing up for 10 sessions of Skin Renewal & 10 sessions of Collagen treatment...without even trying the O2 facial. Ok, you must be thinking that I am damn impulsive again. Well, to cut the story short, I will not mention all the "proclaimed benefits" of the Skin Renewal and Collagen treatment which the sales lady, Jest, has shared with me. Afterall, these are all sales tactics right?

Yes, I will blog about each of the treatment after I have tried it. This is a review of a true consumer so stay tune!

Sunday High-tea

210310

High-tea @ Zhou Kitchen

Finally I get the try the high-tea at Zhou Kitchen!

FK, thanks for making the reservation 2 days in advance.

And of cos not forgetting to thank you for the treat.

I will promise to treat you to a good meal when I get my B. Hehehe...

It was pouring heavily when we were having our high-tea. At that moment, I really felt so blessed and glad that I was indoors, enjoying my food and happily chatting with FK.

I am always excited when I get to eat! Greedy me!

Wow..we had so much food.

Anyway, we went to the gym before we indulged in all these. Calories are back to our body. =P

Well, but I always believe that it is always better to exercise and eat. And not eat and don't exercise. Duh! Therefore, our gym session was still pretty useful to keep our weight in check ya!

FK was caught by surprise. Look at his oily mouth..hahaha..

I was stuffed!

I have enjoyed my weekend. Went for a 2 hours massage at Thai Odessey at JB with FK & VC yesterday and had such a nice meal today. Life with such simple pleasures can really delight me. =)
Looking forward to my Batam trip next weekend. Massage & Seafood, here I come!

17 March 2010

For some, this is a day of commendation and contentment. While for others, it is a day of condemnation and bitterness.

Well, I count myself lucky to get the recognition.

Love Story - Taylor Swift

Love this song.

Have been listening to it everyday

Breakout 2010

130310

Breakout 2010 - Korean Extreme Dance Comedy

Esplanade Theatre

Since last year, FK had been bugging me to watch Breakout with him. Honestly, I wasn't excited when he told me that he managed to get the tickets for Breakout 2 weeks ago. In fact, I remembered that my response to him was like "err..ok". And I knew that he was aware that I wasn't really interested. Haha...

Well, after watching the show, I could finally understand why he was so eager to get the tickets. Breakout 2010 was simply amazing! This was so entertaining that I even complained to FK that the show was too short coz I hadn't had enough of it!

From the producers of "Jump", "Breakout is a newly designed nonverbal dynamic comedy performance mixed with extreme break-dancing, based on a story of prisoners breaking out of prison and finding shelter with some nuns and nurses in a convent. It is a show that you will not regret watching it!

We were seated quite far away from the stage but yet, the performers never failed to entertain us

Having some snacks @ Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe before the show

Taking picture with the mini-poster coz it was too early for us to enter the theatre

My favourite Goreng Pisang

For a non banana eater, I am kinda surprised that I can be addicted to goreng pisang. In fact, I had 2 goreng pisang less than an hour after my lunch...woohoo..so greedy!

This addictive goreng pisang can be found in the hawker centre below the army market (opposite Golden Mile).

Ta Da!

Yummy yummy!

Hungry!?!

The last meal was at 1pm when I had Chicken Horfun (which is surprisingly super delicious as I am not a chicken fan) & Horlicks dinosaur. It is 11.33pm now and my stomach is growling...I gonna be determine not to eat as I will definitely have nightmare if I sleep with a filled stomach. Furthermore, it is also very fattening to eat at this hour...Just imagine all the fats growing on my body when I am sleeping. Yucks!

God, please grant me the determination to bear with the hunger

元宵節 cum Feb Babies Celebration

280210

Steamboat @ Bibi's place

Tampines St 33

After planning for about 2 weeks, we managed to finalise a date for annual CNY dinner and to celebrate the birthdays of the Feb babies.

In preparation for the steamboat

Let's dig in!

Oh..it was my idea to include Seaweed chicken and Taiwan Sausage in our steamboat...very unconventional ya...

I was the 'fake' birthday baby.

Did you notice the article 'Women lose 90% of eggs by age 30'? Luckily, we have not reached 30 yet...though will be very soon. =P

The Feb birthday babies: Serene, Yuling & Cerine

Haha...I will forever be younger than you!

The forever pretty AHS sports class ladies

Thanks Jun for loading the pictures in FB!

Yummilicious @ Golden Spoon

260210

Golden Spoon - 62 Seng Poh Lane

This was supposed to be our annual cny Lou Sang session but we didn't lou coz there were only four of us (Te, Dan & Shervin can't make it) and we reckoned that it would be wiser to indulge in the specialities of this restuarant instead.

This restaurant is highly recommended by Sze Yong who claimed that he doesn't mind getting gout after indulging in the food. And yes, I do agree that the food is really good.

The four who turned up

Sad face coz 3 of them abandoned us

Here comes the food..Ta da!

Crab bee hoon - This is one of the nicest been hoon I have ever tried and the crab claws are huge!

Greedy me took the claw! Haha...

Golden chicken - The dish is not in the menu and those who want to have it have to call a day in advance to order. Well, I conclude that it is not worth the effort...though this dish is pretty unique (there are fish cakes in between the chicken slices), I think that the restaurant have a lot of other nicer dishes who one can order to indulge. =P

Cereal Tofu - This is a must try! Though I am not a tofu lover, I believe that I can finish the entire plate. It is soooo delicious....

As Golden Spoon was pretty noisy (there were a group of uncles chatting and drinking beside us), we decided to proceed to the TCC in Roberson Quay for desserts and drinks. It was a mistake as the TCC in Roberson Quay was very crowded and we ended up getting an "invisible" table which was outside the restaurant. Well, I deemed it as "invisible" as staff didn't seem to recognise that we were there...gotta wave frantically at them for water and gotta wait more than half an hour for our drinks (those customers who reached there later got their drinks before us!)

My healthy berries yoghurt drink which I waited for more than half an hour

The ladies & the guys

Pressie from Delhi

Books in India are super cheap...so I requested FK to get this book for me at New Delhi.

I love the movie and thus, I reckon the book will be interesting too.

I am into Chapter 3 now and I am still enjoying it. =)

Ladies nite @ Souperlicious

230210

Went for dinner with Amy & Grace at this newly opened restaurant – Souperlicious at City Link mall. Concept of this restaurant is very similar to The Soup Spoon.

I had the set #2 which consists of a soup, half sandwich, lemon tea and cookie which cost $10.60...relatively reasonable

My rating:

Soup (mushroom): 4/5

Sandwich (teriyaki chicken): 4/5

Cookie (oatmeal): 2/5 (quite a disppointment as compared to the Subway Oatmeal raisin)

Creamy mushroom soup

Tokyo Sandwich - Teriyaki Chicken

Really glad to meet up with Amy and Grace and to know that they are coping well with the new phase of their lives - Amy just started working again and Grace is happily married for about 2 months already. Miss them lots...it is a pity that Mary can't join us.

We took some pictures after our meal...

Amy used Photoscape to edit our photos..lovely!

Jealous me

FK was back from New Delhi yesterday but gonna fly to Hyderabad again tomorrow.

Yes he is living like a life of an air crew (though he will probably lament if he is one coz too many Indian flights..Haha..) while I am stuck here in S'pore, spending at least 8 hours a day facing the office PC. Damn!

And he told me that he may be posted to Shanghai for 2 months after he is back from Hyderabad. Damn Damn! Why am I always the one which doesn't have the opportunity for overseas experience? I am super jealous!

Paris Day 1

Paris Day 1

130210

This is the first time

• I travelled on a F&E trip to Paris (though it is my 3rd time to Paris)
• I took a public transport at the CDG airport to central Paris
• I experienced snow in Paris (it is -4 degree!)
• I had to drag a 20kg luggage along the streets in Opera till my arm became numb due to the weight of the luggage and the cold wind (Phew...luckily we managed to find the hotel in less than half an hour)

Timetable of the Roissy bus which we took from CDG airport to central paris.

It is kinda convenient to take the Roissy bus if you stay near to Opera. It cost only 9.10 euro per person (1 way)


We took some pictures while waiting for the Roissy bus to arrive

Though we reached the hotel at about 12 noon, we decided to just roam around the Opera area (which is within the vicinity of our hotel) for the day as all of us are kinda tired. If we had known that we had to shorten our trip, we would brave through all tireness and sight-seeing till we drop!

Taken outside our hotel - Hotel Louvre Marsollier Opera. The hotel manager offered to take the picture for us.

My head looked so small with the ear cover. =(

The nearest metro station is Quatre Septembre.

The metro stations are actually pretty close to each other. We just need to walk for about 5 minutes and we will reach the next metro station which is Opera

Taken at the billboard beside Quatre Septembre

The Hotel Manager told us that St Valentine's Day is very special day in Paris and true enough, the Galeries Lafayette was packed with people who seemed to be buying some last min pressies for their love ones.

Movie Review: Valentine's Day

Watch this show with SB yesterday.

An intertwining storyline of a group of Los Angelenos finding love on Valentine's day

Simple and light-hearted plot. Great to watch if you just wish to relax

I rate it 3.5/5

就想賴著妳
