staycation @ fullerton

06 August 2010, Friday – 07 August 2010, Saturday

as part of bear’s birthday celebration… we decided to spend our weekends in 2 prestige hotels in sg land… 😛

before that, we had our lunch at bugis.. bear like the fish soup there… dun ask me the name, I dunno.. cos I dun remember the name… although I dun find the fish soup nth fantastic… as long bear like can liao….

stir fried 奶白 with dried shrimps…

fish slice soup….

after that, we check in at fullerton hotel….

this is our room number =)

I immediately love the bathroom on the left when I walked in.. the idea was so fantastic… the bathroom was hidden behind a mirror door… so cool… I wanted the same concept for our new home as well… if space permits in, I wish we can hide our toilet behind the door as well…. 😛

its zi lian time…

only managed to take a pic of this small building with the name on it…

we went pak tor after we settled down… after which, we return back to the hotel for our sumptous chinese dinner at Jade Restaurant…

the menu and the exquiste table deco….

tasting the nice tea demurely… lol…

the whole restaurant has only 2 of us… it was as if I haved booked the whole restuarant for this event :P…

we decided on this set menu..

compliments from Jade, the tomato appetizer..

roasted peking duck wrapped in pancake.. this is very nice… the skin is very crispy.. love it…

steamed silken chawanmushi with diced duck meat and wild mushrooms… very unique combi… a fresh taste.. and surprisingly.. its very good.. the aroma of duck and mushrooms are simply irrestible..

superior duck bone consomme with duck meat dumplings… I find it rather ok only..

black sesame lemon sorbet.. this sort of freaked me out…  I dun like..

saluted carved peking duck with pan seared foie gras… I love foie gras the most… this main course is the best I ever I ate…

enjoying the foie gras… yummy..

pineapple fried rice in nonya style wrapped in crispy money bag… quite spicy for me… but I still managed to finish it… cos the whole course is not cheap.. lol..

shaved coconut ice with strawberry and mango cream… errr.. I am not a fan of coconut and strawberry though…

and us ^^

we have very gd experience in fullerton… its too bad we have to check out the next day… I believe we will be back again….

 

taiwan xing wang

14 April 2010,  Wednesday

dinner at Taiwan Xing Wang Restaurant.. located in City Hall… 2 words to describe – very disappointed…

we all know Taiwan is famous for her snacks, especially oyster mee sua… the mee sua at Taiwan Xing Wang really cannot make it… those sold in pasar malam taste much much better lor..

sesame oil chicken mee sua… yup.. u can see from the pic… this is super oily… no doubt its quite fragrant becos of the sesame oil… but the chicken.. got a weird smell…

my rating: 1/10.. this shall be my 1st and last time… seriously, if intend to sell Taiwanese snacks and food, at least go to Taiwan and try the taste first… not once.. but a few times…  same goes for Hong Kong dim sum… I dunno whats going on in the mentality of pple who wanna sell such food when they dun even have the knowledge to cook…

oh.. I miss authentic Taiwanese snacks.. I miss Taiwan.. how I wish I can go back again…

 

somerset 313

early dinner at Ding Tai Fung/313..  

expensive 小菜… 

famous shrimp fried rice.. which bear will nvr get sick of it… 

shrimp xiao long bao… kinda regret this.. exactly same taste as their signature xiao long bao…

this is the 1s time both of us window shop 313… I would say.. nth much and nth interesting… I think many would be interested in the Uniqlo… but not me.. to me, its just a more expensive version of our Giordano… just because its from other countries, doesnt mean the things are good… 😛

maybe I lost the interest in shopping.. nth fancy me now.. or I shld say.. my shopping mood has gone for holidays…

I’m sinful these few days.. I believe I have gain at least a kg or two over the holidays… gosh…. ur dessert at ION…

chocolate snow ice… nth special though… bear find it not sweet enough.. to me.. is ok.. just that its only ice and chocolate syrup…

xmas 2009

今年的聖誕和兩年前的一樣 – 沒有擁擠的人群, 沒有喧嘩的烏節路, 沒有好玩的朋友, 只有我們…

每年的聖誕都大同小異… 吃飯, 看電影, 交換禮物… 就這樣過了一個節日… 我想, 是我們的朋友少, 不然就是我們的人緣不好.. 所以每年的聖誕都一樣…  其實, 自己也開始變得自閉了… 已經沒有那充滿佳節氣氛的心情去迎接聖誕節.. 別說聖誕節, 甚至其他節日也一樣… 可能是年紀大了吧..

=====================================================================

24 December, 2009 – Thursday

今年的聖誕電影是 Alvin & The Chipmunks 2.. 第一次到 Illuma FilmGarde 看電影… 感覺還滿不錯的…

還有點童真的我, 被那可愛的站立海報吸引…忍不住向前和”他們”合照… 很可愛吧 !!! =)

一張我很滿意的自照…

　

索取了戲票, 是時候填飽肚子了…  HLX Fusion 以中西合拼的概念, 讓消費者可以在同一間餐廳享有中餐和西餐…

在等的當兒，也是拍照時間… 　試用了bear的LG巧克力手機…

傻傻的雄仔…

發呆的我…

清純的我… LOL

tenderloin steak on hotplate… 口感可以, 但不是很好吃… 薯條反而比較好吃…

crayfish & mussels pasta…　超讚!!! 手工麵的口感很好，不會有膩的感覺..  蝦婆很新鮮… 有甜甜的感覺…　但我不喜歡那微微的胡椒味…

吃飽了，我們請服務生幫我們拍照… 很有浪漫夢幻的feel!!!

十二月份最喜歡的照片…

dim sum @ PP

accompany bear to work this day and had our lunch at the market opposite Parkway Parade.. we had dim sums for lunch…   suaku me, quite surprised that we can get to eat dim sum in hawker center… 😛
