Penny Black

We headed to Penny Black for drinks after our dinner...



pretty nice deco!

interesting name tags they give to their servers...



our drinks...



i had shirley temple which was not bad (but i prefer ice cold beer's), only $10 for a pint. Leoie and squiddy had a double shot baileys shake... its nice! but very very expensive.. ! cost like $48 for 2..!

Fishy under my persuasion went for the Singapore Sling - coz never try before.

As for what we think of it....



NOT NICE! or maybe, not to our liking... in the end Leoie had to finish it for us....




thank cute leoie!

La Mei Zi

Dinner with the seaweed and 2 seafoodies. they wanted steamboat and chose La Mei Zi @ Novena.....






the different soup bases, all in one! so cool!



overall, i like the chicken and suan la soup base. their ma la was quite bland.. their fish soup was quite fishy.

some of the food they have.. its buffet and there are sections where you can go to get the food you want....







our steamboat...



this morning i msged leoie to ask leoie 2 things...
1. is the place air conditioned?
2. does the place have luncheon meat?

haha .. he said the place is air conditioned but duno if it has luncheon meat.. i made him promise if theres no luncheon meat he will get from cold storage to top up! haha

I was very well taken care of coz by the time i was there, the 3 of them were already pretty full so i was well served especially by the seaweed.

overall, la mei zi was pretty good. i especially liked their meat balls.. i think tonight alone i finished 1 bag of meat balls and 1 can of luncheon meat! hahaha .. there was this aunty there who is a very enthu server, very attentive. Also, the meal is quite cheap.. only $15 per person and drinks at $1 per can. Only setback is the aircon.. its damn lousy so it was really really warm. Leoie insisted on treating us.. thank cute seaweed!

Sushi Don

Met up wif May today! We arranged to meet up for a meal and we went over for Sushi Don!

i had oyako don....



it was alright. but in comparison to the one i had at Kyoto Restaurant, Kyoto's is definitely much better.

May had their set.. some garlic chicken set...



their garlic chicken is not bad as well.

May treated. Thank cute! my treat next week!

Top One KTV

Top One KTV....



squiddy told me their rooms all have effects one! you can choose to have techno with disco lights flashing and flashing or soft effect where there are lighted floral graphics on the walls and some rooms even have the smoke effect! so cool!

our session was $25.90 per person. initially we felt that its kinda expensive but after knowing what the whole package included, we found dat its quite cheap and reasonable.

$25.90 is nett. it includes free flow drinks and 5 hours of ktv! Also, because we arrived between 6 - 7 pm, each of us was given a free mini steamboat each! so wu hua!

the server teaching us how to use the ktv system...



the drinks list...



items 1 - 7 above is free flow!

the iced lychee is nice!

and because its free flow, when we ordered they gave us big portions....



and their microphone got wear clothes one....



and when they finally got hungry, we ordered our mini steamboat.. there is an option of either thai spicy prawn or japanese non-spicy mutton. the 3 of them went for the thai while i went for the japanese one w/o mutton....





its got quite a bit of ingredients! soup was overall tasty.

KFC

crabby's contribution for our potluck....



salad from KFC... also quite thoughtful. Why? coz crabby said, clammy likes salad. the salad is actually quite good. especially their oriental dressing that tastes like soya sauce. i'm not being sarcastic! its really nice. haha

The Baker's Story

Dear fishy was so thoughtful! She felt that her cheese cake didnt taste nice so she went on to The Baker's Story to buy cakes....



No. 8 Sin Ming Road
Sin Ming Centre

#01-05

S 575628

Tel: 64520265


the cakes are SIMPLY HEAVENLY! Although fishy said the marble cheese cake is their signature but the chocolate truffle cake was just simply magnificant! i told fishy, i think they should change their signature!

squiddy, crabby and myself LOVED their chocolate truffle cake! its just so so so so GOOD! it got this cream like mousse texture yet its not very creamy... its just very soft and tastes simply great! fishy promised to buy it for me again next time! hehe

crabby insisted on taking a pic to see how messy we polished off the cakes...



told u truffle cake is more popular!

Canele

met up wif Crabby @ Paragon and we went over to Canele.

i was still very full from the late lunch so only crabby ordered. She was in a dilemma whether to order the soup or the salad so she went ahead to order a roast chicken salad first....



which was really really good. its the dressing i think.. a lil sour yet its got this nice texture. i tried a bit, its really quite good. She liked the flavour so much she decided she is gonna like the soup as well so she ordered the soup too!

Mushroom soup....



va va voom! it was also really really good. Mushroom soup is becoming so boring and common these days its hard to find really good ones. This is definitely one of the better ones around!

den i saw two tables around us ordering strawberry shortcakes. They are my weakness! Summore they are tall, huge pieces of strawberry shortcakes... with all the white cream against cake with red strawberries... *drools*! Crabby offered to treat me for it! hehe

i let her choose the cake instead coz initially we came here coz she was the one who wanted desserts.... she still chose my strawberry shortcake....



and its SO SO SO GOOD!

the cake itself has moisture locked in........



!!!!!

orgasm!!!

haha.. it has officially superceded my love for Bakerzinn's Strawberry Shortcake! la la la~ im in love!

Xin Wang HK Cafe

after work i met up wif lil bee and sunantha for a meal together. the love birds just came back from hong kong, had loads of fun and can't get over the yummy hk food so they were still craving for hk food. we went to xin wang @ marina square.

the 菠萝包 ..



they include a pineapple slice in between.. i wonder why.. maybe coz 菠萝 means pineapple in cantonese.

custard bun...



not very nice.

prawn paste chicken...



5 incredibly big round balls of tender chicken wif crispy skin. its nice!

lil bee had their pork chop and egg rice...



was pretty ok.

i had their fish slice spaghetti.....



it was also ok, nothing to wow about.

den when it came to the lemon tea, lil bee who had just came back from HK said....



" Hong Kong one is nicer.. anywhere is nicer " .. hahahhaa

the stall...

i went for the mixed fish soup....



it was really really very good. the soup was tasty, the fried fish was thick... the batter was thin. its really really good.

Kyoto Restaurant Tsubaki An

Met Jiahao and Kaizhi for dinner. Kaizhi suggested the place.... she said that this place is most probably authentic because all the servers are japanese as well.

Kyoto Restaurant Tsubaki An...



located along circular road (behind boat quay).

we had the set meals.

Kaizhi had the katsu rice....



each set came wif potato salad...



and sashimi....



Jiahao had the curry katsu set...



both of their pork cutlets were quite tough.

i went for the oyako don set....



their oyako don is really good!



a good quantity of egg and doneness is just right..yum yum!

Don's Pie

Don's Pie....

We shared a pie...



don's pie is good. the potato chunks are nicely buttered and the pastry is also good! yum!

have heard abt their crab bee hoon and finally had a chance to try! cost $16 per servicing. Pretty expensive for lunch i'd say but considering its got a reasonable sized crab, pricing seems ok.

the crab bee hoon.....



which tastes....



INCREDIBLY GOOD! im serious! the soup was really really good. reminds me kinda of the mellben crab bee hoon... n this has got yam which is really nice as well!

Zheng Zong HK Cafe

Lunch was at this HK cafe at The Arcade. Its called Zheng Zong.

Fish had pork curry rice....



both fishy and clammy raved about the pork saying its super nice but i didnt find it exceptional.

i had the black pepper chicken rice....



i preferred my black pepper sauce to the curry sauce.
