Nom Nom!

Celebrated Liling's birthday at Tea Cosy last Sunday!

Its at Plaza Singapura, level 5, beside Spotlight.

Decor wise, I thought they spent quite a huge effort on it. It was quite well decorated.

With the statues and figurines all over the shop.

This is my dinner then. Something chicken toasted sandwich, with chips.

Nothing spectacular about the dish. Alvin taught me to eat the sandwich with the chips, it did gave me a new experience and taste of the sandwich. But overall, the food didn't have any WOW factor that will draw me back for it.

Then we headed to PAUL's again.

 Look at the desserts we ordered! I love all of them! The fruit tarts tastes like egg tarts filling though. The lemon custard tasted too sour, but I quite fancy sour stuff, so it was alright. Furthermore, the desserts were all sweet stuff, so the sour dessert sort of neutralize the sweetness a bit. The cake was something walnut, which was offered to us cos some of the items we ordered was out of stock. It was not bad, with some walnuts in between the cake. And it wasn't that sweet afterall. My favourite among all these was the chocolate tart at the far end! The chocolate is dark chocolate! It wasn't that sweet, and it tasted a little bitter, which makes it more edible (imagine eating a whole chocolate tart that is so sweet). And I love dark chocolate too! So it was a pleasant dessert spree!!

Oh, and this arrived late. Creme bulee. The caramel on top was too too too sweet for me to handle. The "cream" below was alright, tasted like runny egg tart. Haha. But it was not that bad too.

I discovered a new favourite drink! I went to eat Lai Lai again after gym.

Had their set lunch ($6.90) and it comes with a freeze. I chose red bean freeze!

It tasted like Potong ice cream, red bean flavor! It was really nice!!

I'll return to try their green bean freeze soon! I feel that it's comparable to the red bean soy shake sold in Jolliebean. Both have their own unique taste which attracts me! I LOVE RED BEANS!

 my new favorite!

The black pepper chicken chop. The black pepper was not hot at all. So it was bearable for me.

The portion was quite huge. And with the drink, you will definitely feel full!

Finally

I am finally slightly more free after completing some tests.

 This shop sells some exploding cream puffs!! I tried their durian puffs!! You must really gobble the whole puff in a mouth, if not the durian filling will drip out!! I tried the first one and the filling flew out of the puff!! Wasted! I tried the second puff in one mouth, the filling just exploded in my mouth!! And it's nice!!! 

I ate the puff quite some time ago and it's definitely worth mentioning.

Anyway, before tuition yesterday, I went to get this smoothie from Berrylite, a yoghurt shop in Novena Square. For $6.50 I got two small cups of smoothie because it's one-for-one Wednesday. If I only paid $6.50 for a cup of smoothie I would think that it's super not worth the money.

The smoothie tasted alright, quite thick, which is to my liking. But there were ice bits inside which makes it difficult to suck it up. And the portion is too small. I tried the kiwi and mango smoothie, two separate ones. I would go back for it only if the portion is bigger. $6.50 for a small cup is way too expensive, and not satiating. 

Morning adrenaline rush!

It was 530am in the cold, raining morning when my parents and brother woke up. The flight was 720am. First thing that came to mind was "OMG!". Couldn't get a cab through phone, luggage couldn't be closed, dad couldn't find his specs. Everyone was in a frantic mode. Everything happened way too fast, as though we were fleeing some war ground. Within 10min, they left home for the airport, and silence set in once again. My brother left for US for his internship, and will be back in 3 months time.

An afternoon in Orchard.

A late post.

TCC's seafood pasta. 

Nice and crunchy soft shell crab! There were also one mussel, a few fish, prawns and clams. If the sauce for the pasta was stronger and thicker it would be perfect for my taste buds!

PAUL's desserts!

Level 3 of Takashimaya

 Lemon Meringue if I get the spelling right. 

The lemon custard below this egg white cloud thing definitely improved my appetite for more desserts!! As it is a dessert, the sweetness level was good and even better with the tinge of sourness in it. YUM!

Chocolate waffle. Very disappointing. The waffles paled terribly in comparison to the other desserts on the table that day. I would rather spend money on Gelare's, Ice Cube's or Prima Deli's waffles. The waffle was hard! I felt like I was eating biscuits. Quite bad. The only good thing was the chocolate sauce. It tastes like Nutella.

4 flavor tea. Went well with the sweety stuff we ate. Refreshing!

I can't remember the name of this. But the chocolate snapped between the biscuits were dark chocolate. NICE! It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. It suits you if you can't really tolerate very sweet desserts. 

Riders!

Sunday at Rider's with my Rebels!

 Blackstone benedict.

I love the eggs! I love the tomatoes! The combination of the eggs, tomatoes, bacon and the sourdough bread is great! The tomatoes were a little sour, which went well with the eggs! I love yolks which are half done! You can see a few horses walking along the roads while you drive. Quite a sight! 

It's quite packed on a Sunday morning, so have to make reservations before heading down. And, I doubt there's straight transport there, unless you drive. Price was a little big high.

 This dim sum is not bad too! At Chinatown Food Complex. You have to take the number card and wait for your turn to be called before you place order. They only sell har gao, siew mai, chu chang fen, chicken feet and char shao baos. The queue is quite long, and we waited for almost 30mins before it;s our turn. The har gao and siew mai are great! The prawn was big and fresh, and the skin was just nice. The siew mai is also good! The meat wasn't those paste kind, its like those in lor mai gai. They all tastes fresh!

Weiying's preparation for her blogshop! All the best!

Chuan Wang Fu 川王府

*no photos entry*

I finally finished my lab report!

Had Steamboat at Chuan Wang Fu 川王府 (beside Paya Lebar Methodist Church) with jc clique.

I thought the steamboat was not bad, the meat they offer were extremely thinly sliced. So you just have to put it in and wave it around for a few times and you can eat it. I think it's one of the nicer steamboats I ate! Compared to the 7th storey steamboat which was extremely lousy! (shall write a post on that about their service and food std though it happened 2 weeks ago!)

Back to 川王府, though we did not eat their ma la soup based because some of them cannot eat beef and we cannot mix the food together so we decided to have a two non-spicy soups, which were good too! The variety of food was acceptable, there were mutton, beef, pork, chicken, fish, mussels, intestines and the list goes on. I thought the meat were quite fresh. And they have one cold plate, something with pork, which I liked a lot. And their mango pudding and longan cheng theng was not bad too! Besides, the place was not very stuffy nor was it very cold. It was just right. The waiters/ waitress could be more lively though.

Overall, I thought it is comparable to crystal jade xlb buffet just that this place has no xlb. Paid $22.50 per person, would be cheaper if you don't order drinks.

The parasites!

I'm done drawing the parasites for my LSM 4223 report!
