a page dated 28/04/20009 taken from my diary

with yuet ling, pearlyn, and bf.

ah no photos with them ): had this one and only photo because yuet ling was playing with my phone..

and ya. i did not buy the cable yet so.. couldnt upload the photos!!!! i took a photo of my photos in my hp using my camera.

i know the kitty might have amm. disfigured (is this the right word?) the photo.. but :P

ANYWAY

it's been a while since i last ate their 1/2 priced every Tuesday waffle!!! i must say its still good but was really sick of it after my second piece.

i used to be able to gobble the whole damn waffle. with extra cream and maple syrup!!!

but was really feeling bloated and airy from it and i left one last piece behind.

oh yes. was a good catchup session. shall meet up with the rest soon too yeah? :)

*

*

afterwhich, accompanied bf to have his stitches removed!

long wait but the procedure was fast.

he said just a teenyweeny slight pain. nothing much and definitely bearable.

*

*

oo. and went to get my Moshi Pouch in town!!! (review here)

(err. if you're an observant, you might notice a mole WHICH IS ACTUALLY NOT A MOLE on my face in the photo below. i scratched my own precious face few days back. *sniff* so ugly. i was complaining non stop to bf that if i had such an ugly mole, i will definitely remove it!! oh and during my gelare lunch with my darlings, i actually forgot about that mole. if not i would have complained about it too. x.x)

after getting the pouch, went to Isetan Supermarket at Shaw Towers!!!
I <3 JAPANESE SUPERMARKET!!!

but the one at Liang Court is much better. as in there's more stuff... even the char siew pork whch is the authentic ones to be used in ramen.... its found there! but not here (referring to Isetan's supermarket)

oh well. still love the japanese supermarket anyway.

ANYWAY, they have this lil food stalls because of Boy's Day.. and i bought two mini lil oyster from the stall selling croquette. SGD3. its really small but the oyster is meaty. so worth my money!

other photos taken using from my hp (but i retook it using my camera because of no cable. repeat repeat repeat)

*

*

and a POSED FOR photo.

haha cos while i was shooting the above (and others that i did not upload), bf suddenly had this look which i thought that i had captured it on my phone (BUT DIDNT) which is why i forced him to pose for that.
i know its retarded but we're having fun, can?

and a bf queueing to buy a can of beer :

*

*

ok. apart from that can of beer, we also bought our dinner!!!

SAPPORO MISO RAMEN!

we really missed it man.... but hokkaido seemed so. far & expensive.

so it gotta be on hold!!! so sad.

and we missed their miso ramen badly. PLEASE TRY IF YOU'RE GOING THERE!! PLEASE TRYYYYYYYY. ITS SOOOO DIFFERENT FROM SINGAPORE. and dont be turned off by the word miso cos its not like the miso soup that you've been drinking!!!

ok. we missed it so much that we bought whatever thats available at the supermarket. bought whatever thats MISO typed (ONLY TWO THOUGH. ARGH)


cook cook cook.

ITADAKIMASU!!! いただきます

nice bowl? bought from the Ramen museum at Yokohama

and are you guys wondering whats the orangey thing beside the bowl?

*

*

*
YAY ITS EBIKO! (xuan dont be jealous)

yuummmmm.
they do sell Karashi-mentaiko 辛子明太子 (marinated roe of pollock) which is supposingly for that!!
but bf prefers ebiko.

oh yes. apart from Ramen, its the King Salmon Sashimi!!!! for dinner.
nice.

total spent about $50 (including another packet of miso ramen for 2pax)

yummy dinner.
*

the after dinner was Sapporo Beer.

BURP.
a sumptuous dinner. but it makes me very happy!!!

FRIDAY & SATURDAY.

ah. yes, i am very in love with my pet, Scrumpy.
shall post another photo of it despite the complain from Quek... cos Scrumpy is just too irresistible! :P

just came back from CyberDome from playing L4D...
i must say that i am really very tired but am reluctant to sleep.. yet.
*
wanted to blog about dinner which i had just this evening at Paradise on Earth (200tanjongkatong) to celebrate one of my gfs, Nicole's 22nd birthday (oh god we're so old x___x)
but.. the lady from the shop has shaky hands!!!!

hai. so sad.
i just refused to have the flash on... cos usually people look ugly w flashes :P
so... gotta wait for photos from Plyn & Cassie's camera!!
*
definitely a good catch-up session... and i will definitely miss my girls :(
really cant wait for me to stop working!!!!!!! then i will have more timeeeeee.
*
ok.. since im bored and ive got nothing to do.
shall talk about my dinner on friday night at Chinese Swimming Club.
no, not because they've got fantastic food... its just that Bryan had to use up this $10 monthly dining credit that he had to pay for from his membership.

i heard from somewhere that Chinese Swimming Club is supposedly by members' votes that it' exclusively for chinese only... hmm. wonder if its true?
but anyway, they did a whole revamp of the place.. looks so much better than my first visit few years back.....
*
ok, a photo of the cafe, Manzhu Cafe (at the newer clubhouse):

Chinese Swimming Club is apparently split into two areas which I wonder why.

they've got the newer and the older one. from what i can see, the newer one is obviously more popular.

the hot bun which the nice waitress gave us:

his dad always give ang bao to her during CNY.... but well, i can say her service is pretty good.

my dinner:

argh. salmon is dry! i miss the hog's breath one.. :(

and the pale yellow thing is not mashed potatoes! i actually chose the food from the "wt watcher" section.......... so its cornmeal! a pretty interesting idea... hmmm. but needs improvement on the taste!

boyly ordered some springchix and had to wait for 30mins...
so when his food arrived, he soooo wanted to just sink his teeth into the juicy meat.

but well,

i still forced him to pose a photo for me... and obviously he weren't coorperating (hee. ok its my bad shaky hands :S)

improving.... but still not acceptable.

:S

poor thing :P

after our meal, we had our dessert.

hai. he's giving me stress by ordering a bowl of cheng tng.

because.

i

ordered

a

hot

brownie

with

ice-cream.

mine is like sooo much more sinful than his, lah!

but i must say the brownie is superb. think the nicest food that ive eaten so far in ManZhu Cafe........

its nicer than the SkyDining's!!

i wont say as compared to NYDC, blablabla.

but i think the standard is almost there! slightly too compact but still, brownies are great hot!

HAI.

why do i like all this and he's soooo not into such? oh man.

quite stressful.

he doesnt like whipped cream, creamy soup, blablabla. but i do!

my mum doesnt, too!!!! and she's so skinny can?

oh man. time to change my preference. possible? :

:(

blablablablabalbalabalbalablaba

wheeeeee. i got my first dior watch,
La D De Dior 23MM, 64 diamonds.

i truly am ecstatic about it that i cant stop gushing over it to my bf

x___x

retail price is close to 4k.

BUT.

i got mine for only somewhere close to 3k at this SAF private sale at LVMH.

:D

~^-^~

the night before, Friday night went to the private event for our Guild at Hog's Breath.

was a pretty good meetup... :)

Hog's Breath (CHIJMES) is great too.

We had it in the Pig's Pen

and presenting.. our Foodddddd :)

I will say its pretty good. Better thaan what I had expected due to some negative comments at HungryGoWhere.

Yummy Forest Mushroooom Soup

this soup, had a very strong mushroomy taste... which i really like it.

i dont like the tooo creamy feel in the usual cream of mushroom.

this is not too creamy. not thick. slightly watery (but i like.. same goes for bf), very mushroomyyyy.

best, i dont feel fulllll from it :D

!!!!!!!! a must try for all mushrooms lovers :D

The main courses.. are like:

Pan Grilled Salmon w Garlic Cream

(my choice! because of the Omega 3 to feed my hungry brain. and surprisingly, the fish is tender, not too dry. yummy sauce which i wished that they can actually give us moreeee.)

Juicy Pork Ribs

The Succulent Prime Steak

A very delicious Warm Chocolate Fudge Cake... and boy i so love their vanilla ice-cream

Their Carrot Cake (which I didnt tryyy)

the other photographs...

the casters of the Guild

and our group photoss!!!

Yesterday, which is a Saturday, the day I got my La D De Dior watch,

we went over to Raffles City for the private sale for invited guest and SAF personnel only.

Had lunch at Bishamon (wanted to give it another try despite the disappointment we had in Bugis)

hmmm.

read my expression:

Our Ramen Choices:

and yes.... its still disappointing.

HAI.

can never be like the one we had in Sapporo despite it being a franchise?

sad. noodles not as springy... soup is far from the same tastiness in Sapporo.

HAI.

if only im rich, i think that i will probably use my private jet and fly to Sapporo every weekend just to have my fill of their delicious real authentic ramen...

*

dinner, went to the place opposite Bugis for some mala steamboat to celebrate KaiWei's bday..

ah what can you expect from a cheap steamboat place?

service is not that goood but no, its nnot horrible.

i cant say about hygience... which i think its bad.

food wise, pretty ok. acceptable. like the steamboat.

the best part i like is the after dinner..... my steam milk pudding!

i tried their chocolate cookie one and i still very much prefer the original one!

they didnt make it into crumbs but instead, its powdered cookies ): not a right combi too... wrong choice of cookies and also, extra calories(but thats beside the point) !!

i will opt for their normal one anytime.

alright..... tonight will be another night of sinfulnesssss......

dinner to celebrate youngest sis belated bday.
