You guessed it.
It's shopping day!
First stop @ FEP:
Accompanied Jo to have her lunch.
Walked around FEP and I only bought a pair of maryjanes.
We walked to Wisma to buy our Kose beauty products.
And it turned out that Wisma Isetan doesn't have Kose!
I cannot believe this.
So we headed to Taka. At last, we found it.
We bought the White mask & an exfoliating mask and got a 100ml Sekkisho lotion for free.
& here's the deal.
The whole package is only 70 bucks!!
It's like, so worth it. I wanna hug myself! :D
just call me the girl with half an eyebrow
I kept complaining that I wanted to eat @ tcc so we headed to Bugis
But in the end, we only ordered drinks.
joanne's. not sure what it's called.
my chocolate affogato, which is really chocolate ice cream in expresso.
not bad, but it doesn't cater to my sweet little tooth.
Before proceeding with the shopping, we bought our favourite Chicken sausage w/ egg & cheese pancake. Yummy ^^
I ended buying more & more stuff, which includes 3 pairs of shorts, a jean, 2 pairs of heels & a dress.
Was kinda disappointed, as we couldn't find the shop that sold the object we wanted.
It's the very reason why we went to Bugis in the 1st place.
We were so hot & tired after much walking. As you know, Bugis St is always so packed.
Left my jeans at the tailor's and then we headed to Parklane to have the fried wanton, another fav of ours.
And we cabbed to Clark quay to find 小王子 at Lily's pub.
We did the usual, sang songs, dice games, and a couple of rounds of pool.
I suck at it, really.
When the pub was about to close, some pub regulars started to challenge 小王子, and he owned them, round after round.
So PRO! *clapclap*
But he lost to the lady boss at the final round, then it's byebye for everyone.
We went to Chinatown for supper, but I didn't eat.
Just didn't feel like eating. Moreover, I don't like watery porridge at all.
小王子 got a shock when he saw this pic on my hp.Cute ba! Hahahaha
And so he drove us home after supper.
That's how the night ended.
P.S. I'm so looking forward to Christmas!
Today
Dim sum with family @ Ah Yat Seafood 阿一海鲜
The 1st dish: Chives dumpling.
I never liked chives, as I find it has a weird smell.
But not this one at Ah yat, the smell of chives was masked by the soft & succulent meat inside.
As I'm typing this, I'm feeling hungry again.
Har gao.
This dish is rather well done here. No 'hard skin', and you can bite into it easily. The prawn inside, however, is not that chunky.
Steamed dumpling w/ scallop.
Soft scallop with prawns in the dumpling. It's pretty average to me.
Deep-fried beancurd roll with seaweed.
Very crispy, albeit oily. I like the texture and the feeling of chewing on it. Taste-wise, it's so-so.
Steamed pumpkin dumpling w/ custard.
A rather novel creation, huh?
None of my family members ate this, so I ate all 3. Guess they're not much of a pumpkin fan.
K, the skin was chewy and thick, I liked chewing on it but I found it rather bland.
The inside was filled with pumpkin flesh and custard, but the taste of pumpkin is very faint.
Siew mai.
Didn't get to eat this, as it was snatched up by the rest. Not really that into siew mais, so I didn't order another.
Assorted Rice rolls (cheong fun)
There were 3 types of 肠粉, namely the shrimp, char siew, i forgot the last one. I only remembered how nice it tasted, the rice roll was soft and chewy, not that easy to tear it apart but not that hard either. Just nice :D
Peking duck.
My favourite dish of the day. This is so good, you cannot not order it if you go to Ah Yat.
The duck skin is very crispy and tasty.
Upon biting into the skin, you can immediately feel the softness of the layer of fat beneath it, it's sheer bliss, i tell you.
I ate so many of this! Hahahah
Prawn paste chicken. Specially ordered for my brother, he has to have this dish wherever he goes.
Very average, Golden Sands does a much better job.
Ee mian w/ roasted duck
I don't really like this. The noodle was very bland, not enough salt added, i guess? But it was chewy, which is a plus point.

Deng deng deng deng!
Overall comments about this place:
It's worth the visit, as the dim sum are pretty much up to standard.
The menu however, is quite limited, for me.
It doesn't have the standard water chestnut cake nor deep-fried red bean pancake, which I absolutely love.
But one thing for sure, I'll be back for more.
Random: I'm so happy! My 'delivery' of famous amos cookies by my bro is here! There's a promotion now, buy 250g get 50g free. So altogether there's 300g of cookies. I got them in 6 different flavours, in absolute cloud 9 now. I LOVE FAMOUS AMOS!!!!
