Interesting food - Photos taken with Samsung jet

Japanese food

Dinner with Xian at a Japanese restaurant located at the basement of Hong Leong Finance.

Gyoza - $3.9

Ramen - $13.90..
Yummy. Love the half boiled eggs.. Also each mouthful tastes different due to the different ingredients on top i.e. seaweed, kimchi, fried chicken and the chasu...


Guess what is this.....

Chocolates wrapper


Chocolates bought at Millenia tower... This is an interesting shop.. Looks like a pharmacy from the outside...
I bought the Lychee Martini chocolate. Very yummy.. but at a high cost. $12 for a very small piece...About 1/3 of cadbury family block.


The chocolate... Heavenly... chocolates range between $8 to $12... They even have tea chocolates and Sze Chuan pepper chocolates. Dare to try??


Dinnder @ Thomson..

Was so stressed after work that Ed suggested eating at Thomson.
We usually hang out at Miss Clarity Cafe.. But we decided for a change and gave Retro Cafe a try...


Ed's dish. A very yummy chicken. Some jumbo chicken @ $10..
It is like stewed and fried at the same time. Very flavourful. love it.
The owner is also very nice. Keep on making small talks with us. He was saying this is like some french restuarant standard food but at cafe prices.. also this dish takes about 2 days to make. With all the marinating stuff.. Thus they are considering taking it off the menu..



Mine.. Dory fish with spaghetti. The fish is nice.. Though the tomato based gravy is a bit too sweet for my liking. Think cost about $7.


Followed by Dessert... Fried pisang with ice cream.. Yummy.. Lovely combo.

Will visit them again soon....

Arnold's Chicken at City Plaza...

We queued 1.5 hours in total. 1 hr to get into the restaurant and 0.5hr for the food to be served.
Meat is very tender.. Not too bad... Cost $5.5 for the half chicken... Will eat again if there isnt any queue..



After sharing the half chicken, we went to Geylang and walked around. I chanced upon this food, which we will usually see it at Pasar malam. However the interesting part is that the filling is with gula melaka instead of the usual peanut or coconut filling.
Cost $1 for 3 piece. Queued 20 mins for this...

Southern Ridge 11 Jul 2009

Started off with our favourite meal at Superdog at Vivocity. Love the Chicken Capsicum Dog and the chilli fries. Got to charge ourself for the 4km walk. We decided to start off from Harbourfront, Marang Trail.

Start of the trail. Xian and me... This flight of stairs nearly killed me... The route up to Mount Faber...



We followed the park connector trail before reaching one of the highlights: Henderson Waves. Quite pretty. It was supposed to lit up from 7pm. However as we were early, no lights were up yet...
The Group photo
Continued walking... Felt like we were on some holiday and feeling carefree... Look pretty right..
This place is pretty, at Hilltop Walk. I am going to take my wedding photos there.. A lot of lavender over there..

Last stop of the trail...Alexandra Arch.. We spent a total of about 2 hours covering the 4km walk... A bit disappointed as the arch was supposed to have varying colours. When we were there, we only saw a montonous yellow colour.

We then headed off to Holland Village for supper. Nice day out....
