Mellben

and since we had plans to play mahjong tonight at Yunping's place, an ad hoc gathering for crab bee hoon was in place!

it was mellben we went! eileen, crabby and mel mel went to queue first. it was a long long wait. the rest of us came from all directions after work. haha

we had their famous doufu...



it was not bad. but i got reminded of wan tou shek's signature dou fu which was better!

man tou to go with the butter crab sauce later...



broccoli and scallop...



Fishy said it reminds her of a wedding dinner. haha

and yes! Yes! YES! the famous crab bee hoon!!!



love it! love it! love it! Love the soup! love the noodles!! i dont think it wowed me as much as the first time i had it but it can be due to expectations or standards but it is still good for me.

playboy chicken...



it was ok, a bit sweet and sour and spicy.. edible but not impressive

salted egg pork ribs....



taste was good but i'd haf liked it much better if there was more meat in the ribs.

cereal prawns...



good sized prawns, crunchy cereals, not bad!

butter crab...



their butter crab is a little different from else where. its a bit creamy and a slight tinge of spiciness by the chilli padi. quite nice!

Cafe Swiss

i went to meet dear dear for dinner to celebrate her birthday. had wanted to bring her to blu jaz cafe but they do not take reservations after 7pm so we ended up back at cafe swiss.


it was the YOG grand opening so we could see live fireworks from where we were...



i remember they both love cheese too.

love their cheese fondue and raclette!



Mmmm mmm!

check out the raclette....











its really good. especially the crispy parts.. i love cheese! haha



and the chocolate fondue...



some of their desserts...



didnt find the desserts good.

Spizza

Spent the day with Shan & Joey (one of my favourite couple)'s place.

i also love these pizzas from spizza!! picked them up from club street earlier....



parma ham with rockets on super thin crusts.. what is there not to like?!

Black truffle oil with egg...



Aromatic orgasm!

spinach and cheese ravioli...

Winsor Hotel Porridge Buffet

Jeff was relatively near my place so he suggested we do dinner at Winsor Hotel for teochew porridge....





decent food. not superb selection but for 10.80 i guess its fine... thank u jeff for the treat! love the fermented beancurd! apparently weekends they have roast or braised duck.

Oriole

arranged to meet up with cynthia today to kinda celebrate her birthday.

happy birthday my sweetie!

dinner was supposed to me on me but cynthia paid for it coz she said she has not treat me for my birthday yet. gosh! this means my birthday celebration has extended for 2 months! haha! kidding!

well den nxt meal will be on me!

we shared a portobello mushroom....



love the generous amount of rockets they have although we didnt find the portobello mushroom particularly juicy or something.

for mains, cynthia had a crab meat aglio..



its angel hair pasta with a good portion of crab meat. the aglio flavour is a little mild but still nice. i personally prefer the one from canele though. for canele, their crab meat texture is more rough which i like and the flavour is stronger.

i had the beef cheeks pasta...



in red wine sauce. it was nice but again not flavoursome enough for me.
