Menu

Both Ade & Yun's Order - Carbonara (Not the usual noodles form) 

Ah Sa's Order - Nordic Crepe

Xm's Order - Concorde Crepe

My order - Wild Mushroom Risotto 

Shiok Maki - Wisma Atria

Had dinner with Twinny Love that day at Shiok Maki!

Shiok Maki
Koh Grill & Sushi Bar 
Wisma Atria, Level 4. (At Food Republic Area) 

Queue was long as usual but lucky for me, Twinny love queued up for us and when I reached, it was just nice our turn for a sit-in!

Ordered 4 dishes along with two cups of iced green tea each.

1) Salmon Skin
2) Shiok Maki Sushi - 2nd Generation 
3) Garlic fried rice 
4) Cold Tofu 

The iced green tea, cold tofu and shiok maki were my favourites.
I did try Shiok Maki - 1st gen before and I thought it was still abit better than the 2nd Gen one but the 2nd Gen one had its uniqueness as well.
Salmon skin was good too but just a tad too salty and garlic fried rice was rather ordinary I thought.

Total Bill amounted to about SGD39.00 which was rather reasonable for small-eaters like me cus I was rather full after this meal.












The thoughts and loves that Twinny Love got me from Korea.
And Laneige was the best buy ever.
It's so much cheaper in Korea as compared to that in Singapore.
Why oh why, is everything so expensive in Singapore?!



Managed to meet up with sis the other day as well, oh how much i miss her after this little one got so indulged with her new relationship. Haha, but nevertheless, always happy and proud of her. She's gonna start her SMU path very soon <3



The hypes and craze over Singing Bone , Limited Edition Hello Kitty.
I didnt manage to get my piece cus the queue was overwhelming and it was really insane to queue out to the main road for most outlets or to go Mac at say, 3am while others are asleep.
I'm indeed a Kitty fan but I'm not silly till the extent that I do things that are out of my reach or sanity.

My colleague managed to get it from some trade deals and so I could only lend it to take a pose. haha.

My Happy Meows~ 

Have a good week peeps!

Happy MAY DAY!

Happy May Day Everyone! 

I'm back with some updates again. 

Had JPOT the other day with Kim at Tampines One.
Finally met up with this skinny gal after ages.
Everyone's been busy and I'm glad she has finally found a job after her grad from NUS. 

Everyone is leading a brand new life now.
And I'm glad I still have friends like her in my life and I really hope everyone will stay throughout in my life till we all walk through the next phase of our life. 

JPOT

10 Tampines Central 1 

Tampines 1 #03-16

Singapore 529536

Tel No: (65) 6532 3536

JPOT is like a steamboat style, in affiliation with JUMBO group.
The only thing different is that instead of charging per pax and offering a steamboat buffet, it is actually not charged by per pax but the per dish food that you ordered (ala-carte)

Adding on to their uniqueness, you can order the food via IPAD placed below the table.

Soup Base Ordered: 
1) JPOT Superior Broth (For Kim) - SUPER NICE! 

2) Bak Kut Teh (For me) 

Ala Carte Ordered to Share: 

1) Chicken Sausage with Cheese
2) Marinated Pork 

3) Chicken Cheeseball 

4) Leaf Lettuce 

5) Maggi Noodles 

6) Free flow drinks 

It's rather expensive actually given the share was not really alot and its charged based on ala carte.
But it's quite worthwhile to go occasionally cus the superior broth is really SUPERB!

We paid around $21 per pax. 

Also managed to meet up Lynn babe and passed her the BKK present!
She bought me brunch at Coffee Club! 

*SLURPS*
I look like a glutton with the big share. hehe. 

Hope the month of May will be a great one.
I can't wait for June to come cus it will be the final exam I am having and i can proudly say GOODBYE to UNI! :)) WOOOHOO! 

CNY Backlog.

Back with my CNY backlog.
It's been a hastily week period for me.
I have been out of Singapore all these while.
Before CNY, was to Jiangsu, after CNY, was to Shanghai.

Guess I will pretty much summarize up and let the photos do most of the talking since it has already been quite some time back.

Met up with cousin xuanz and Fan for Suki-Ya Steamboat the other time.
I can never have enough with my fav sister because no matter how long later, we will still end up having lots of topics to talk about.



Also met up with dearest Lu at Bugis + Poulet.
Food wasnt as awesome but the accompany from her was the most fabulous one.


CNY Day 4 was the day when we went over to Boss's house and had a tad lots of fun with our usual band group. I was pulled out to sing again along with beibei but I must say, music is really enjoyable! Still remember those rehearsals we had to practice for D&D. It was really tough to sing along with the live band.






Cranky handsum.


Another two handsomes.


My buddy couterpart.

As usual, second day of CNY was at Dear's house and we took a family photo:






Baby Dylan, the cutest boy ever!






Being the sweetest always , I prepared below for my two darlings at work for Vday:



On Vday itself, the boy took me out for a simple dinner cus it was exam the next day for me :(
Had Dinner at Paradise Inn, Marina Square.
Food was really awesome even though it was a tad more expensive than any other chinese restaurants.
Still, it was worth it!



He got me my fav kitty's swarovski necklace <3



And my self-shot of the OOTD on Vday.



This is my handsome boy!



Every year, I'm always looking forward to CNY because it's the only time when you get to spend together with close or distant family members . Though there may be some cases whereby you tend to entertain the usual irritable questions which you always hate to answer, CNY is still a joyous occasion especially for ppl like me who loves to wear new clothes! =D

CNY may have reminded me of past people who left us and can no longer join reunion dinner with us. But I know somewhere somehow, you're still watching us.

I hope all of you had a Happy New Year like how i did. :)

Kin Mookata

The other day during the Chinese New Year period, I had a sumptuous dinner with the horsies colleagues - Ade, Beibei, Yun & Lily.

We went to Kin Mookata at Joo Chiat which was a Thai-styled steamboat buffet.

There were food like hotdogs, sotongs, pork meat and beef for BBQ, minced pork, quail eggs, vegetables, egg, vermicelli, crabmeat, prawns, meatballs, mushrooms, tofu, pork liver and more.

My favourite of all was minced pork ! It makes the soup taste fabulous !

The concept of it was rather unique given that it is situated at a coffeeshop and the buffet-style was served readily by the staffs there.

My horsies colleagues who made work so much livelier. :)




Sayang Sofia also went to Korea and bought me a kitty pillowcase and keychain.
So sweet of her!

It's Mid-Week already , Hang in there and weekends will be just right here in a bit! :)

Porn's , Thai Restaurant.

From a customer to a penpal to a friend, I finally got the chance to meet up with my favourite blogshop owner, Reb love (:

We met at Bugis and head to Porn's for dinner!
Just in case you go RARA over the name, it is actually named after our local celebrity, Pornsak, who is a Thai.
And yes, this is a concept of a Thai Restaurant.

Porn's 
28 Liang Seah Street, Singapore 189049
Tel: 6337 5535

Was my first visit here but it was Reb's second.
So we ordered something that she has yet to try.

For the two of us, we had Thai Chicken Tom Yum Soup (What is Thai food without Tom Yun Soup right?) ,  Minced Meat with Basil and Thai-styled Tofu.

Overall, I think the food is just so-so.
Nothing much appealing or unique compared to other Thai restaurants but it's definitely worth a first try.

Total Bill amounted to about SGD31.00 for two pax.

After which, we proceeded on to 'Ah Chew Desserts' which was just across the street.
No matter how full we are, there are always room for desserts =D
Reb love got Mango Sago with ice cream while I got the watermelon sago.
I have always loved their Mango Sago and Honeydew Sago and Durian Sago.
Must be wondering, what? All Sago?! Haha, yes, cus the rest of the desserts array belong to that of traditional category  like glutinous rice balls etc which aint my cup of tea.



Hello to the honourable blogshop owner, Reb! :)







Surprisingly, we got so many common topics to talk under the sun.
To be honest, I am very much not someone that sociable who will go around blabbering non-stop if you put me in an enclosed room with just me and a group of strangers.
I am someone who needs time to adapt to the environment and to the people around me and I wouldn't expose my friendliness until I feel comfortable.
Hence, people who don't know me always feel that I am very unapproachable and unfriendly at first sight.
But when you get to know me better, I am actually the exact opposite of what you really thought I was initially.

So I am really glad to have met a new friend here. :)

On a side note, below is my new buy.
It's Urmms...... A tad ugly but.... the ugliness is what makes it adorable isnt it?

My boy couldn't stop saying how ugly it is, so mean right?
But yes, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder".
Haha, still, if you ask me why I have bought this ugly thing, I would hesitate for awhile and still have no answer for you. LOL!

So here you go, I call this ugly love "Ahlolo" because I wanted to call it Uglo but I suddenly thought of Aglio Olio then I merged Ah with the lo and called it Ahlolo =D

Please meet Ahlolo! * Waves Frantically!*




And gosh, upcoming December will be a hectic month for me.
Then again, since when has EOY been easy right?



Haven't got the chance to upload my photos for my HK trip with daddy and mummy,
Will be right back soon! :)

Bakerzin New York Strawberry Cheesecake!

Strawberry cheesecake has always been suchalove!

I'm not a person who is very into sweet snacks or desserts because i'm born without a sweet tooth :( 

To ask me to eat a birthday cake will require much consideration on my side as well cus sweet stuffs simply do not appeal to me at all. 

Till that day we got dear's sister and brother a New York Strawberry cheesecake from Bakerzin! 

It was wrapped super nicely and the box colour was so candy-like and everyone adored it! 

Such a sweet candylicious appearance right? 

The cake itself was really delicious as well! Not too cheezy or sweet for my liking. 

It costs SGD48.15 for this which was quite reasonable and we did our self-collection @ MyVillage - Serangoon Gardens. 

Dear's brother is currently still in London and hence, we could not celebrate with him physically. Still, we did include his name on the cake! and look at how this cutie pie wishes his uncle : 

 

We took him to the supermarket and he was all ready for National Day Pledge taking. LOL

And I'll be back to share my baking recipe for Strawberry Cheesecake soon!
Did my very first baking of strawberry cheesecake for the boy, his family and my family! :)
