Dennis

Seafoodies december gathering was dinner at Dennis.

tuna salad....



always good. been good since at least 15 years back!

Squiddy's maryland chicken...



my mouthful was good but squiddy didnt seem to like it coz she didnt finish it.

my side order of hashbrown...



today's one is quite dry and not as nice.

my garlic chicken spaghetti...



love the garlic sauce and the tender chicken! yum!

Missy Muffins

got to the office and geraldene presented us with muffins because its her last day. she got us muffins from missy muffins...



from amoy street. interesting flavours.. theres oreo, pandan, banana and milo! i went for the pandon one.. its nice! especially since its served warm.

Swissotel

our ham is ordered from swissotel the stamford. we thought of ordering from ntuc / cold storage but decided against it at the thought that it is served cold.



the apple sauce that came along was really good. the ham was a bit hard to cut and tasted ok.

Baikohken

A last minute team lunch and we headed over to Baikohken...

all of us had charsiew don....



major yum yum.

eddie had the charsiew ramen...



which looks super good too! now i cant decide what to have the next time i visit again. haha

Lawry's

Xmas celebration with Vreniz @ Lawry's.

we both went for the prime rib, lawry's cut.

their signature spinning bowl salad...



which i have never thought much of...



the vegetables did look fresher today though.

the prime rib.....



HEAVENLY!!



done medium rare....



the temperature, texture, and taste is all RIGHT! its sooooo tender! vreniz loved it as well!

the yorkshire pudding....



also loved this. goes super well with the sauce dat comes with the prime rib. can we go back again? like SOON?

also really liked lawry's ambience and decor... its got that very strong western xmas feel.

Swissbake

the log cake from Swissbake...



was good! smooth and slightly bitter chocolate. was really nice.

Oomphatico's

Met up with ishan and joey at Tanglin Mall's Oomphatico's for our xmas get together....



walked past this place the last time i met ishan for lunch here and been meaning to try. their decor is very nice... and the name somehow reminds me of willy wonka. haha

the decor of the place....












address:






they have a oyster bar like counter...



they have quite a variety of oysters though we didnt order. probably will be back the next time for it.

we shared a mushroom starter..



served chilled with olive oil, it was pretty good especially the baguette with mushroom spread.

sides of rocket salad....



i heart rockets! with the cheese and vinegar.

for mains, joey had the ham and cheese macaroni...



its really good. its a bit different from the typical cheesy baked macaroni... the cream sauce is quite milky... different so i like it. can get a bit gerlard after awhile.

ishan went for the club sandwich...



the unique thing is the bread....



its got bacon embedded inside! its quite good. and it is served with loads of baby spinach... yum. even the breast chicken meat is quite tender.

i went for their special roast pork....



it is SO GOOD! ishan loved it. for starters, the prawns are really crunchy. the pork is a big piece, very very very crispy skin. the meat is not overly oily.. in fact its very lean.. its super tender meat. SO DARN GOOD!

PS Cafe

Christmas meet up with Xinhui and Xinying.

xinhui ordered a tofu salad to share...



served chilled wif mushrooms, seaweed and all. tastes good! a bit expensive though.

Waraku

Dinner with loh gong zai at waraku.

we shared a sashimi....



fresh but too thinly sliced. im comparing it to MOF's sashimi.. MOF's sashimi is thick and very very fresh. miss that!

loh gong zai's all time favourite chopan....



the hotate mayo...



yum yum...! great especially when eaten hot.. the melted cheese! whoo hoo!

saba fish....



nice!

Cookie Museum

i couldnt resist heading over to the cookie museum to get myself a tin. i got the strawberry and lychee with basil nuts one. the same one i got for xinying for xmas... her tin has been resting in my room and despite the flu i find myself wanting to tear open the tape and ravage it!





its good! expensive but good

Liang Fu Ji

met up with the bee couple after work at suntecs Liang Fu Ji for dinner.

shared a crab fried rice...



its their signature fried rice. amongst my blocked nose, i cant really taste the fried rice fully but i felt dat it tastes good. i especially loved the big chunks of crab meat!

also had a roast crispy chicken...



was nice.. not bad but can be crispier.

Baikohken

we went for baikohken coz fishy was craving for it and squiddy has only heard us rave about it but never tried...



its so good!

fishy and myself were craving for ramen so we shared a half portion, shoyu soup base...



the char siew is so soft and the soup is good!

Tempat Senang (Batam)

by around 10 am, they got me back to the room for our breakfast! it was scrumptious!





for western, there was pancakes and scrambled eggs... which were edible but looked funny and definitely not as good as the local breakfast.

for local breakfast, we had mee goreng, fried rice and bee hoon goreng. the fried rice was a little hard but the mee goreng and bee hoon goreng was SO DAMN GOOD! very very tasty. the bee hoon especially was so so so so soft, cook until like messy messy like dat but damn good! we all loved it!

Golden Prawns 933 (Batam)

YD recommended this place to clammy and i recall mum actually recommended 933... so its this place!



like some fishing kelong...



there was a little difficulty wif ordering coz half the time they didnt seem to know what we want.

like when fishy asked the person whether for the coconut its all the big ones or do they have those small ones which are supposedly sweeter, they brought her a small big one....



so we teased fishy.. " 他真的找小个的给你，他找最小个的给你！ " hahaha

keropok as starter...



knowing the food here is cheap.. i wanted to have a good seafood dinner... like u know, da yu da rou, since its cheap.. but this clammy can be so annoying at times *WHINES*.. she restrict this restrict that coz she dun eat.. GRRRR... den after dat den realise shes restricting me on a few dollars stuff... GRRR

and the worst part is, all the food we ordered were kinda not nice. we all totally cannot understand why YD and my mum even recommends this place. we all felt we'd been much more satisfied eating another meal at A&W!

fried squid...



crispy but squid was not chewy. quite dry.

cereal prawns...



crispy but prawns were damn small....

xiao bai cai...



tasty sauce but colour didnt look fresh..

kang kong...



which was ok by my standards but squiddy said it tastes like crap. haha

i requested for another portion of the prawns to be done in golden prawns style thinking dat since they are called golden prawns maybe this is their signature n speciality....



ok edible.. its mayo or thousand island in fried prawns... not very nice also.

steamed fish....



a bit overcooked.

Still dun understand why it was recommended to us.
