Sunday, 17th May

NYNY @ JP2 with Cai

Cheese balls

it's actually hashbrowns with cheese inside.

this tasted so boring. the cheese had a rather bland taste.

not to mention that it came glistening in oil. yuck

We ordered a Seafood platter to share
It consists of a cold crab, battered calamari & prawns, smoked salmon with salad and crispy fried fish.

I liked the smoked salmon best.
The calamari & prawns were average and the fried fish had oil oozing out of it with every bite.
As for the crab..... I would just say that steaming hot crabs taste better =/

Watched Angels & Demons, a highly-anticipated movie!
I had expected more suspense, more action..
Well, it's still nice. Unexpected ending.

Had dinner @ Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao

La Mian in Si Chuan Broth

Their la mian (pulled noodles) is so so good! I kept going on and on about how much I love the soft texture of the noodles.
The broth is good too, it has a strong peanut taste which i absolutely love.

It's really worth it as it costed less than $10 for such a big bowl.
The amount of noodles in it is enough to feed 2-3 ppl. Perfect for sharing!

Xiao long baos a.k.a Steamed pork dumplings
One of the better ones I've tasted, but not the best. Best was at HK =D
I find this better than the ones I had at Din Tai Fung, though.

Sauteed veg with trio eggs
My absolute all-time fav. veggie dish!

Sauteed prawns with egg white
This was pretty normal.
Crunchy prawns with foamy egg white, rather boring too.

Sauteed chicken with macadamia in spicy sauce.

This was rather nice, the diced chicken was really soft and I loved the sauce.
It was sweet, with a tinge of spiciness.. Good for ppl who can't take chilli
and that includes me =)

Pleasant meal we had, though there were hits and misses.
And it definitely wasn't cheap.
Each dish costed more than $10 except for the XLBs and the la mian.
Definitely going back for more la mian in future!

House of Sundanese Food @ Suntec City

I don't know if my tongue did any dancing, but it certainly enjoyed it =)

forgot the name of this dish. let's just call it super yummy crispy fish, shall we?
it's very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
the bones & fins are edible too. a soft crunch could be heard when bitten into.

grilled marinated squid. a sweet and delightful treat.



tauhu telor (deep fried tofu with egg in peanut gravy)
i call it tofu tower, cos it's as tall as a tower in RL.
this is my favourite dish of the day =D

grilled tiger prawns in tomato sauce

they're sweet and juicy, what's there not to like?

We went to Tom's Palette next.

Granny's favourite mixed with rosemary & apple flavour

i couldn't taste what was granny's favourite exactly, but it tasted like some chocolatey flavour with malteser bits in it! rosemary & apple was very refreshing, i really enjoyed it!

Friday, 15th May

Went to Tamp 1 with Joanne.
There's really nothing much to shop there.

Had our dinner at Thai Express. It's my first time there =)

The crunchy thai glass noodles.. Not bad.

Tom yum soup w/ seafood.

First time having tom yum too. I love it cos I love the scent of lemongrass =)

Joanne came to my hse to visit Jojo after that.

Had a hard time coaxing him out of the kitchen.

He's too afraid of my maid!

My brother's pose is way too amusing.

Jojo looks mighty macho here
