Xin Wang

Met up with Kor and Geraldine at Siglap's Xin Wang.

i was full already so i ordered a milk tea...



and i ordered a thick toast to share....



its the one wif butter and condensed milk.. very nice! crispy on the outside and pretty sweet... i like!

kor ordered the pork chop baked pasta....



not too bad.

we were actually quite full but kor was tempted by the pics on the menu so we shared a dessert.....



its some red bean ice kacang like thingy. not too bad.. quite sweet.. the ice cream mixed wif the red bean was quite nice. its pretty huge so highly suggested for sharing.. 3 of us couldnt finish half of it ... haha

Blooie's Roadhouse

Dinner wif Jo-ann and Yonghua.

We drove over to the Blooie's at Siglap....



the interior......







We ordered a fish fingers to share.....



an individual piece of fish finger....



its not bad but i kinda prefer the typical frozen fish fingers.

and when jo-ann's fish and chips came, we were disappointed that its the same fish!



the fries was those spiced fries which was not bad.

Yong Hua and i both ordered the black pepper chicken.....



a closer up view....



like my previous visit, the black pepper chicken was great! the sauce was good and the chicken was tender... nice!

Out Of The Pan

I went over to Raffles City to meet up with the seafoodies and rachie for dinner. This month we planned 2 gatherings. Decided to haf it at Out Of The Pan, basement 1 of Raffles City. Gotta thank lil bee for trying to help me get reservations but too bad they dun do reservations.....



the menu......



there wasnt really anything much to choose from actually. I went for the set ($18plus) which comes wif salad and drink and i shared the set wif Rachie.

We chose the potato salad....



the sauce is a lil sourish but its not the typical sour cream kinda taste so i dun quite like the potato salad. the type of potato is very good though.

Ordered the smoked ham crepe. Choice of crepe.. i think they had some white and duno wat and sun-dried tomato.. we went for the sun-dried tomato....



a closer up view....



it was pretty good! Lea liked it.. i liked it as well but we all agreed the price was too steep.

Drink wise, had their iced tea.....



their iced tea is super good! its got a lil of earl grey taste and its really really good.

Inc Weddings

I received a delivery from Di at my office today.

I koe Di chose pink coz she koes i like pink! so thoughtful! thank cute!



another item was an individual cupcake by its own which she has already informed me saying that is for me!



as for the pink box, inside it is 9 pieces of beautiful (almost too beautiful to be eaten) white chocolate cupcakes!!



Oh Di! haha.. cupcakes specially personalised for me! Thank cute so much! I really love them.. its such a sweet and thotful gift..

i had the cupcakes later at night wif the seafoodies. its got white chocolate which i kinda prefer to chocolate. hee... Di ordered them from Inc. Weddings and they even dedicated an entry to me!

Melt (Oriental Hotel)

Dinner with Yan, Ivy (Yan's colleague) and Sorina @ Melt - The world cafe... its located at level 2 of The Oriental Hotel....



Buffet!

the chilled seafood....



theres baby lobsters, mussels, oysters, prawns, scallops and clams! I thot the clams were big and fresh!

the thai section....



the tandoori section which is kinda the signature section of the cafe....



(which we didnt actually appreciate.. ha)

and the sushi and sashimi....



some prawn mee.....



the desserts.....



ice ice kacang!!



overall, we were kinda disappointed by the variety offered. Food wise, overall the tastes were alright.

I gotta say thank u to Yan and Sorina for the treat and for being so you xin. Especially Yan for making the arrangements and for remembering. So sweet la her. and with this, it marks the impromptu debute of Junie's birthday celebrations for 2007! ha

Gloria Jean's

Lil bee and i kinda shopped around a bit before taking seats at Gloria Jean's to rest...



our items.....



i had the white chocolate coconut. Its very coconut-y and there are bits of white chocolate as u drink.

lil bee had some white chocolate (or was it vanilla) latte... smelled so good and tasted so fragrant! oh.. but gotta be careful not to add too much sugar coz its pretty sweet by itself.

lil bee also ordered a macademia cake to share and he loved it. there was a generous layer of macademia nuts on top and we were trying to figure out what the sticky thing in between was. lil bee said its kaya and he said its quite creative to use kaya. haha...

drink was on lil bee... thank cute!

Long John Silvers

Feeling not very satisfied with my pasta, i noticed this fish fingers thingy on the Long John Silvers menu....



ha.. i had to get it. Shared it wif lil bee.. it was pretty good... the batter was not too thick and more importantly, the fish was good. it was not dry. i like it.

Pasta Mania

Was contemplating wat to eat when i saw pasta mania having a promo... upon presentation of Lido's ticket studs, pasta comes wif a free drink and soup. So i decided since its been a long while i had pasta mania, decided to go for the al funghi...



it was edible but the cream sauce got very gerlard after awhile so i didnt finish it. the soup.. well, free one, mai hiam (its not nice).

Muji Maple Cream Crackers

Yan was so sweet, she got us maple cream crackers from Hong Kong!

the maple cream crackers.....



According to Yan, this is not available in Singapore's Muji. She bought them from HK this time. Previously, her friend got it for her from Japan. And, as soon as she took it out, Sorina was raving about how nice the crackers taste and how the previous time when Yan gave her a pack, her mum finished it and has been raving and bugging sorina about the crackers.....



i tried the crackers a few days later and thinking that high expectations might just spoil the experience but the crackers were truly GOOD! Its sweet and its got sugar bits on the crackers....




the cream inside is maple taste and even after eating, ur fingers would smell so good!
