My blog has since become so dead, so I shall update a little.

Soon enough, CNY has come to an end.

All ang baos collected shall be used as savings and also a little for my own pocket money! (:

Apart from all these, I had fallen sick!

Fell sick right after CNY isnt something to be happy about ):

No more tidbits for me, no more happy food to make me fat! Oh well, it may be a good thing.

At least im keeping myself happy! hahah! =D

****

Heres a little backdated pictures! LOL! And i promise more will come by sooon! (:

The boy and I decided to head down to City Hall after work on one of the Friday! 

As usual, we always had a hard time deciding what to eat for dinner! 

And always, me being the picky one, I always had a hard time thinking what I want for dinner. 

So this time round, I've decided to settle down on this Japanese that serves Ramen -- Yomenya Goemon! (:

This wasnt our first time there, and definitely i'll head back for more. 

For someone like me who likes sweet stuffs and has this thing for tasty spaghetti, this would be it! (: Okay, I'm not saying they serve sweet spaghetti, but its very different from those you see in western restaurants.  

Usually there would be a queue outside their store, but thankfully this time round, we are earlier. 

So we didnt have to wait too long for a seat.

 

 Do you know? 

Unlike Western spaghetti, Japanese eat spaghetti with a chopstick! 

And they doesnt comes with spoon. So for someone like me, who always uses spoon and chopsticks or spoon and fork, initially I find it a little hard to get use to this way of eating! hahah!

  

Spot their yummy menus! (:

  

Delicious display outside their stores! (:

  

All their dishes comes with this server plates. 

 

In case you were wondering, why do I have salad on my table. 

Thats because I've ordered their set meals which comes together with a salad and also miso soup.

But this salad has really won my heart. I love their sauce which they didnt add a lot. And somehow it makes the veges all super yummy! (:

  

Next up would be our dish! (:

This time round, I've gone for a tomato base spaghetti! 

Bacon Tomato Carbonara (Name to be advised again)

This tomato based carbonara was fantastic! I like how the sauce is not too watery.

This dish comes with a raw egg on the top, which you are suppose to mix ard with the spaghetti, which makes the noodles much more bouncy and yummy! (:

They are also generous with the bacons which adds extra flavours to the dish! (:

  

Meanwhile, le boyfriend go for something light -- because he was sick that day! LOL

 

 Cream Gorgonzola (Actual name will be advise again)

According to the boy, this was a little turn down. 

So theres nth much to be mentioned abt. 

 

What I like about this restaurant:

They had a variety of Spaghetti for you to choose from -- soupy base, tomato base, cream base.

With the large variety, you are able to enjoy different taste. 

Not only that, they also comes in set meals for those who love to try out their desserts. (:

Sitting arrangements wise, it was a little cramp, but overall, its more like a fast food restaurants which people eat and go. So its not recommended for groups who wish to search for places to chill and crap their way thru! (:

What I dislike about this restaurant:

Nil!

Overall Ratings: 9/10

Food Ratings: 8/10 (Bacon Tomato Carbonara) / 5/10 (Cream Gorgonzola)

Feeling sick, feeling groggy!

This feeling is the worse feeling i've ever gotten since million years ago! (Okay not that old)
But having sore throat and half block nose hasnt been looking for me for the past few years.
Now making me feel really terrible )):
At first I was thinking I could have taken MC but thinking abt heading down to sponsored clinics by the company, it turns me down totally.
Oh well, actually I just wish I could be doing something much more meaningful or rather doing something that I always have interest in. Probably it would make my work a much more better experience? Oh well, too much to think abt.
No time no energy!
Gotta get back into blogging once i've gotten all the pictures and once i'm done editing lol! =D

Meet up with Bestie!

Met up with my favourite girls for our usual chit chat session as well as last min shopping for CNY! hahah!

Okay this is a very outdated post LOL! 

As Estee already had her meal at home, both YW and I go ahead to search for food to fill out tummies! (:

So we chanced upon this Japanese Food store called Menya Mushashi and we decided to give it a try. 

The ramen comes in 3 different kinds of soup base - White Tora (Original) / Black Tora (Garlic Oil)  / Red Tora (Chilli Oil)

Because both of us are having a bad throat on that day so, baby girl decided to go for the Black Tora while I've decided to try their White Tora. 

 

I love their restaurants layout. Ninjas lanterns and Ninja display. 

There was quite a number of people that day, however, we didnt have to queue for seats (:

I  

 

This is what I've ordered - White Shabu Shabu Ramen (SGD$14.90)

The beef was really tender and I love the soup base! Not only that, the portion of the ramen was just nice for one person. And I could amazingly finish the whole bowl without feeling too full (:

Baby girl ordered Black Chashu Ramen. (SGD$12.90)

Soup base for this was a little salty.

However, the cha shu was really good! Will definitely head back for other ramen! (:

Even thou we are not 100% ramen lovers, I do recommend this restaurant!

What I love about this restaurant:

Their designs in the restaurants make me feel as if im in local Japanese Restaurant when I'm in Japan.

They serve their dishes fast enough and are served hot. (:

What I dislike about this restaurant:

Their sitting arrangements are a little too close to each other that you could probably hear what others are talking about. hahah! (:

But apart from that, the service and food are all good!

Overall Ratings: 8/10

Food Ratings: 9/10 (Shabu Shabu Ramen) / 7.5/10 (Cha shu Ramen)

A Special Valentines Day!

On this special day, my brother got enlist into the army!

Hoping this will eventually turn him from a boy to a man! =D

It was raining so heavily since the morning, and I was so tempted to continue to sleep my way thru. I had to sacrifice my sleep and head down to Tekong with my family.

Camwhore a little before the bus come and fetch us to the SAF ferry terminal.

Beautiful scenery despite the heavy rain! That I wish i was on my way for my vacation! =D

I wore LBD tgt with my favourite kitty shoe and bag! (:

Actually was preparing for the night out with the boy!

The officers bring us out for tours and took a look a the boys bunks before heading to the auditoriums for more presentations by them.

And actually the more i see, the more i feel like staying in tekong! LOL.

After all the presentations, we were being brought to the canteen to try out their food.

Okay, because i hadnt had breakfast nor lunch, my first meal was their chicken rice!

And i mistook the green bean soup for the chicken soup (how stupid!).

After which, we set off back in to the ferry and back to the main island.

*****

Met up with the boyfriend at Clarke Quay, The Central.

I saw so many girls holding on to flowers, and I got my boy to get me one! And after walking a few rounds while waiting for the boy, i overheard an indian guy asking the sales person, how much are they selling the flowers at. And the sales person mentioned, its SGD$150! I was shocked!

Because basically it was day light robbery! LOL! In fact, i didnt knw the prices of flowers would jack up to be so high on this day!

After the boy arrived, we head down straight to our favourite restaurant. At first we had made a reservation at The Frementle Fish Market, however, we ended up turning that down because their Valentines day menu wasnt really that fantastic and we had to pay up to 200 bucks! Okay talk abt being expensive, does Valentines day always got to be so expensive?

We turn down that booking and head down to another restaurant, and we saw Hooters. I heard rave about how great their chicken wings are, and how sexy the girls are. But okay, we are there not to look at pretty girls hahah! But to enjoy the wings. LOL!

Pretty heart shaped balloons as decos because its Valentines day! (:

The list of drinks they served, and it was rather limited.

We tried their cocktails and I had Hooter-Rita (SGD$12.50) the one n the left while the boy had their Hooters Island Tea (SGD$14.50) the one on the right. 

The drinks are really bad! My Hooters-Rita was a little tasteless while Boyfriend's was too sour. 

Definitely wont go back for their drinks.

So I've ordered their well known Buffalo wings (10pcs at SGD$11.50).

It wasnt that fantastic afterall, mayb i'm not someone who enjoys sour stuff. But overall, I think these wings are better thn their main menus. They are able to choose from the different level of spicyness and also you are also able to choose if you want the sauce to be put separately or mix it together with the wings.

And we opt for option 2! Mix the sauce together with the wings.

Camwhore a little before our mains has arrived! =D

Next up would be our mains.

Ive ordered the Beef Fondue for myself (SGD$22.90)

Beef was a little too hard, and it comes with 2 kinds of sauce - Pepper , Curry Mayo and BBQ Sauce. The potatoes wedges are still acceptable and the coleslaw was a little too dry for my liking.

While the boyfriend ordered Garlic Butter Sole Fillet (SGD$18.90)

The fish was a little tasteless. but I do like the Garlic taste at the top. And the fish wasnt that fresh too.

Overall, beef foundue wasnt something that I will be ordering again.

What i like abt this restaurant:

Their atmosphere was really nice.

Mayb it was valentines day, and it somehow seems a little quiet.

I like their layout of the restaurants. A little old school design.

What I dislike abt this restaurant:

Its a little hard to get the attention of the waitress. The food wasnt up to my liking.

So if i were to head back, it will be to try out their buffalo wings again. LOL!

Because Hooters drinks cant somehow satisfy us, we head down to The Bungy Bar which is just beside the GMax to watch people playing while we enjoy the drinks. 

Some random lady approach and get the boyf to get me one flower! 

hahah! Cheapest rose ive seen at Clarke Quay. Only available at SGD$5.00!

But anyway, doesnt matter la, flowers or no flowers hahaha (:

First time trying out their Pina Colada. 

And it was a little too milky! ):

But overall, I'm quite happy with their drinks! (:

The Boy tried their Strawberry Daiquiri and it wasnt my cup of tea. But the boy likes it.

Sorry no pics on that thou )): 

After this drink, we both ordered another Red Rock (Beer) for myself and Johnny Walker Black on the rocks for himself. 

A must try over at The Bungy Bar would be their Cheese Fries if im not wrong.

It has always been a must order for both the boy and I.

What i like abt this restaurant:
They always had a band who will sing for the audience.
Nice ambiance. Sitting at the lily pad areas are better than sitting at the indoors.
The service are quite fast. Always able to spot us whenever our drinks are almost finished.

What I dislike abt this restaurant:
Their menus doesnt comes with the kinds of ingredients that was being added into the drinks.
Some of the drinks really ended super awful, eg. Rusty Nail (Its a type of cocktail, btw (:)

Happy Feb! =D

Its the season of the year again!
Soon enough, with a blink of an eye, CNY is just 3 and a half days away! (:
And I cant wait! =D

Every year, this day, this time, I would be counting down to the number of days where I could have a long break, coping myself with all the yummy snacks, forgetting abt my waistline. LOL!
And its a season to catch up with family and friends! (:

And as usual, I will always set myself in qns like what should I wear and do i look good? Do i look like ive slimmed down in this outfit (Self denial!) LOL!
And I would usually buy many shoes and clothes just to pick out the most perfect match! LOL!

This year, I guess it would be slightly different.
Fav cousin may not be ard to accompany me and gossip like we always do.
For the past years, we would be sitting down tgt at the couch, munching pineapple tarts and talk abt everyone in our own world! LOL.

Oh well, we shall see again! =D
Shall update more soon! (:

I needa a break!

Work has been boring all this while.
While staring at the empty screen, i wish i had lots of emails coming in.
But thn again, doing nth makes my time pass really slowly.
I wish time could pass faster.
Oh yes, i've been dreading work again.
Working has somehow become part and parcel of my while which only allows me to earn for a living and thats it.
Apart from that, I couldnt think of better reason to work! )):
Mayb thats the real sentence of dreading work i guess?

Okay, anyway, no more work.
CNY is less than a week away! And i'm super happy that its coming!
which means, I get to eat my favourite snack -- the pineapple tarts, the bwa gua! (Okay, they are the most fattening ones too!)

This year is a little diff, mummy was busy with the house renovation and had no time for pineapple tarts. I really miss them!
Oh well, so this year i've already search high and low for my fav pick! (:

And Chinese New year shopping has been done, shoes, clothes, bags. checked!
I cant wait for CNY to arrive, so i could have extra income! =D
Meanwhile, gotta find sometime to head out to get some CNY clothings for le boyfriend.

Shall update this space again! =D
