Patriotic, or not?

Sigh. Just realised that I forgot to say the pledge at 8.22pm,
something that I've not done since year 07 onwards & had been looking forward to do so.

Anyway, Happy 44th birthday to Singapore!

Am in a state of apathy nowadays so I've been delaying my blogposts for quite some time

Gosh. Madly cute..

Buffet @ Go India

The good: The staff were really sincere.

They kept recommending those food that were nice to us.

Though even w/o any recommendation we still would have tried everything there

I'm a true-blue Singaporean! (very kiasu)

The bad: The food.. I'll just say that it doesn't suit my palate.

The other caucasian families seemed to enjoy it, though.

Went to watch the new movie "Overheard"

The much-anticipated climax seemed to be absent, or was it because of my high expectations for it?

Dinner @ Ma Maison
French & jap fusion cuisine

I like the decor, the ambience, and everything about this restaurant which resembles a quaint little French cottage.

And of course the food!

I don't know this man at all.. Just wanted to take a shot of the place

Sorry mister!

Beef stranogoff with butter rice

Squid ink pasta

Escargots

And we 'checked out' with this key

A very pleasant experience, but I'll shall be smarter in future and go before dinner time.

Cos we waited for 30 mins and only managed to have our dishes served another 30mins later.

The restaurant was packed with people and the staff were running around like mad.

So my point is, the food's good and people love it.

Dessert time, @ Ji De Chi

Almond paste with gingko, barley and beancurd skin

Cai's dessert which is so boring that I forgot what it's called
It consisted of red beans, PLAIN glutinuous balls and coconut milk.

Told you that it's boring.

Black sesame truffle mooncake from Bakerzin!

Mid-autumn festival is one of my favourite festive periods of the year.

Cos there's mooncakes everywhere and I'm absolutely in love with it.

I can eat it everyday w/o getting sick of it.

Today we went to New Lucky Claypot @ Clementi Blk 328

as Cai had craving for claypot rice

Before adding oil & dark sauce

It could do with more lap cheong (waxed sausages) ..

Sigh. Major disappointment.

The rice totally lacked the 'claypot flavour'

The one I had in HK beats this hands down.

Black chicken soup
Quite nice.

Next we went to JP to eat, shop, and eat again.

Went to OSIM and the saleslady was nice to let us try so many of their wonderful gadgets
So shiok. We almost forgot to leave! No la, I'm just kidding.

He bought his massager in the end and we left.

Steamed chilli crab dumplings @ Din Tai Fung
Mmm.. Nicer than their standard pork ones.

Go try it, it's only available once a year!

Until 31 sept.

Seafood la mian in Hot & spicy soup

Nah, not really that nice.
Tasted like beehoon.

Didn't strike a balance with the noodle and soup.

Too much noodles, too little soup.
