District 10

a random last minute jio-ing, we have a dinner date for tonight! Lydia, Phyllis and myself! decided to go check out district 10. Colin vaguely recommended it previously.. diane and lea also highly recommends the chicken wings...



the place is very nicely decorated...






there was some one for one going on so we happily indulged!

burger!



the burger was huge! and it was not bad!

duck confit...



the duck confit was crispy on the outside.. the meat can afford to be a bit more juicy!

beer battered fish and chips...



apparently one of their chef recommendations dish. was nice (particularly the fries!) but the fish was so skinny! as in small in portion! but luckily we ordered a lot! haha

we also shared a steak...



the steak was quite good.

and theres the seafood aglio...



can afford to be more salty! but the seafood was really fresh!

one mojitos for each of us!



the mojitos were really good too!

Xin Yuan Ji

after my gym, i met up with xinying, ken and charming. we went for dinner at Xin Yuan Ji...




salted egg lobster..



the salted egg paste was not very tasty

prawn paste chicken...



yummy!

and their famous fish soup....



really yummy! the soup was really hot, flavoursome and the fish slice was thick! SO GOOD!!

Chili's

the animal family arranged to meet up at Chili's for a gathering...



the group had already ordered when i arrived.

we shared a fajitas...



some egg roll thingy...





nachos...



fried cheese...



ribs...



Oooo.. i love their mashed potato!!

gorzilla ordered some vegetarian burger thingy...



the patty is made of some soya paste or duno wat. quite interesting.

we went on to play some games of monopoly deal before proceeding with a brownie for dessert!





the brownie was pretty yummy too!

Barpazza

lunch with lea at Barpazza. My first visit and she has been raving about this place to me along Far East Square...



we shared the smoked duck aglio ...



and mushrooms in cream sauce....



their pasta is really pretty good. to shida, lea and diane, their pasta is super good. mouth watering and they will finish it all down to the last strand. haha

Canele

met up with ron for lunch at Canele...

he had a carbonara....



and i had my crab meat aglio...



love how they very generous with the amount of crab meat!

and i had my favourite strawberry shortcake...



canele has one of the best strawberry shortcakes ever! moist sponge cake is something that most other cake shops fail to achieve

we had a fried beef cubes...



the beef was so tender! yummy!

drunken chicken..



their alcohol is potent! quite nice..

a roast mullet fish roe thingy...



my first time trying something like this but i must say i do quite like the taste and texture. the centre orange part is semi hard, semi sticky. quite interesting.

their cai por omelette...



its super good! one of the best i've had!! 

some leek dish that mummy chose which i didnt try...



stewed pork...



yummy! tender and lots of meat.

trotters were nice too....

not bad except they seem to have fried it a bit too long so the exterior was a bit too hard.
