Dim Sum Buffet @ Swatow Seafood Restaurant

Rather contradict rite!? Seafood restaurant for dim sum buffet! But yes! They do serve buffet for high-tea and i personally think it is definitely a worth! But getting the person to bring the food from push cart to table was rather a tough task but of cos much better than Red Star at Chinatown area. LOL. But what's disappointing was, food such as paper wrapper chicken, xiao long bao all these was quite high in demand that when the server came with the pushcart, it's already empty. Waiting for another round took pretty long. In order not to leave the place with regrets, we tried our very best to get the waitress attention to get them to get the food for us. IT'S NOT EASY BUT NEVERTHELESS they are helpful.

Anyway we went on a sunday afternoon so is like $22.80++.. But still worth~

Pros
1) Waitress go to every table and distribute food.
2) Food taste awesome. I like the siew mai and liu sha bao! <3
3) Booking of table was easy. We book our table 2-3 days before.
4) Environment and ambience was good

Cons
1) Waiting time for food was long, spending my time waiting for food to appear infront of us and seeing the waitress walked past with empty pushcart...
2) Book a table before going is definitely a need! If not, good luck!

I bake again~

Yes! I bake again! With my friend this time round! At her hse! I'm just a small assistant. LOL. Go there to enjoy the final products! She wanted to bake for her colleague and i decided to go buy ingredients with her so joined her for the baking session! Awesome cupcakes! She is using the recipe of red velvet. Hmmm im not a cheese person so i actually didn't like the topping! HAHAHH!

Everything changes

Everything changes. People changed. And i hate the change. I wish time would rewind. No intentions to elaborate on what happen. It just sucks. Totally spoiled my day. i wished...

Ohyea~ Went to Cuppage Plaza (Gyoza no Ohsho Singapore 餃子の王将) for a meal with Yishi. Food was rather nice but place was rather small. LOL.  I went to Loreal sales! Bought back some loots! =P Bought rather little things this time round. Saving money for my camera! =D After Loreal sales, went to buy my camera!! HEHES! SOOOOOOO I BOUGHT SONY NEX 3N! =DD

Today went to Red Star Restaurant for Dim Sum in the morning and testing out my new camera! <3 It's a restaurant that we used to go with my grandma to celebrate mother's day. A traditional restaurant that have carts of dim sum being pushed around and I saw my favourite paper wrapped chicken so i thought of taking a photo of it when the waitress open up the paper. BUT damn! i was being scolded for taking her photo. LOL! I'm not taking her photo but the chicken in her hands. Nvm, anyway i deleted it to prevent any trouble.

I think pushing carts of dim sum is cool however, it's not possible during peak hours. Upon sitting down, carts that push passed us left with only few dishes (those not so high demand), high demand dim sum like egg tarts, porridge, char siew siu, har kow and etc never seems to come. Then we realised, people start crowding around those waitress who are pushing the cart and get their food from them instead of waiting for them to push to us. Food will never come unless u fight for it! LOL! This is what i felt.

It's very hard to get their attention. Getting them to refill our tea took us some effort too. Bringing the pot to them and get them to pour some hot water for us. =.=" Dim Sum are not as nice a last time. Char Siew Bun was hard. Porridge taste normal. Siew Mai.. ehhh. i don't like. 7-11 might taste better. Oops. LOL

A busy day~

It's my friend birthday and we decided to surprise her! We decided to have this small little colleagues gathering since months ago? LOL! And so we met up! Birthday girl was late and thanks for her being late, we have time to buy cake and decide on where to eat for lunch!

Conclusion - We ate in Eighteen Chef at Tiong and we got the Polar cake. Finding HALAL cake is not easy. I like the service by them, we actually requested to put our cake in their fridge and after our meal i thought they don't provide the service of bringing the cake to us. So i thought i will be the one holding the cake. But when i went to the counter and approach the staff, they are so nice, they offer to bring the cake there for me and even asked if we want birthday song to be played. And OF COS, things went on smoothly. =))

After celebration, went to find Ming for tea as promised weeks ago? LOL! At least i made an effort to squeeze out some time for meet up. A day that I've scheduled myself for.

After meeting Ming, i rushed to JP to catch "Catching Fire" with Jess. Still got part three..  Oh noooooo~ i'm gonna wait for it again! HAHAHAH! Dinner at JP, eating my favourite mini tom yam steamboat! <3

Marina Barrage with Clique! =DD

Yes! Back to marina barrage again with different people! Kite session this time round! WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN LIKE SRSLY! We decided to have picnic still, i've brought along hotdogs and fries, sandwiches by Jess, Sushi by Ser, drinks and snacks by Ming and Yvonne. =DD

I got my kite from my bro! This is my first time flying kite - i've no idea how to do it? how to open it? and even the basic logic of flying kite. To go against the wind or to follow the wind?! LOL! All we did was, eat, sit and observe how people fly kite. It's DOES work okayy! LOL! And the most funniest thing was while eating, we have been there laughing at some people who didn't manage to have their kite fly up high, WHEN OURS CAN'T EVEN FLY! LOLOL!

It was drizzling the whole day but yet the crowd was still WOW! Had dinner at Satay By the Bay. Just a "atas" hawker centre with expensive foods which i don't find worth it at all! LOL!

Relaxing at Marina Barrage!

It was an impromptu decision to have picnic at marina barrage. We've only came into this decision like a day before? LOL. And the best thing is - I'm on night on sat and we are meeting at 11am on sunday! LOL!

Dad and mum pick me up after my work and we went for breakfast at Ghim Moh Market. WAHH! A LOT OF AWESOME FOOD CANN, i wished i stayed nearby. Hhahahhaa! After eating, went to wet market to buy some fruits. I'm in charged to bring fruits for the picnic. HEHEHEHS!

HOME - SHOWER - CUT FRUITS - PREPARE - LEAVE HOME.

It's my first time having picnic and i enjoyed it. =P We got ourselves a perfect spot with shelter as rain happened to pass by and we are perfectly dry? LOL! And what spoiled our day was actually the cleaner i supposed? He was wearing orange and he clear rubbish in the bin and i supposed he works as a cleaner?

Incident  - Wind get stronger, tissues flying around- BUT NOT OURS, as it's obvious that the tissues was "wet tissue material" and NONE of us has brought any wet tissue along. And this man walked to us and said "风很大，你们的tissue飞到那里，帮帮忙". Upon hearing that, we looked up at him and we wanted to say that the tissue don't belongs to us, however, before we could even open our mouth, he said: "是你们的啦，没有人料“。 SERIOUSLY! We are not upset because he asked us to pick up the rubbish, we are upset by what he had accused us on. WE DON'T LITTER!

Nevertheless, being good citizens, keeping the environment clean, we did pick it up. LOL. But somehow i do understand why he will have this kind of mindset, i'll explain in details - At around 2 plus? Crowd came, and true enough, wind blow plastic bags and tissues all around and people don't even bother to get it back. =(

Post night outing!

OFF TO AISYAH'S WEDDING AFTER PICNIC~

Date with lovers

It's been really long since we last meet up. Way before my birthday i guess? LOL! My colleagues recommended a place at Busoorah St, telling me that food and cafe over there was pretty awesome. So three of us decided to give there a visit. Never did i know that Busoorah St is somewhere at Haji Lane and also kampong glam!

Wanted to give this cafe named "I AM" a try, but the cafe was little bit too small and was very packed. Googled a little and wanted to go to another cafe named "Eat.Play.love". We managed to find our way there and =.=" The cafe was closed for private event. FML.

Back to Busoorah St and walking pass this Swedish cafe named "Fika". So we decided to have dinner there. The whole bill came up to $100+! OMG! LOLOL! Food presentation and the taste wise was okay. Quite nice actually.

Foods!! =DD

Nice environment right?!? =DD 

Not forgetting this grilled pork from Bugis Junction which cost me $3.50 for 3 sticks! Although it's fattening but is freaking nice! OMGGGG! I bought it at the food street from the korean stall. IT'S WOW!!

Ipoh Trip Day 2

Started our day with a bowl of Ban Mian and not forgetting the ipoh white coffee. LOL!

Collected our goodies that we had ordered yesterday and buying more goodies to bring back to singapore. Headed to shopping mall after that to stock up a bit of our daily necessaries.

CAMERON HIGHLANDS - WE ARE COMING!!

Yes! Drove up to cameron highlands and stayed there till late and have steamboat for dinner. IT'S A PERFECT dinner choice at cameron highlands. Temperature went down when sunset, to 20 degree Celsius! I LIKE THE WEATHER THERE! <33 My acne problems will be solved if i was to stay there for a month? LOL!  Many strawberry farm there, some are really small. We drove further up till we reached lavender garden which seems big. 5RM per entry. It's really a nice place!

THE FRESH STRAWBERRY JUCIE!

Watch those video i uploaded using instagram! =DD The kids made this trip even more enjoyable. LOL

Steamboat dinner!

After steamboat, we went for supper! =DD HAHHAHAHA! EAT AND EAT AND EAT!

Ipoh Trip Day 1

Upon meeting up with JJ, we headed to Foh San Restaurant for our breakfast dim sum! Foh San vs Ming Court - both the famous dim sum shop in ipoh right oppsite each other. Nice food provided, it only cost us around 20SGD for a meal for four! I like!

Headed to some mountain cave temple after breakfast! So we went to Pi Li Tong and Taman Rekreasi! Guess this is something new to us. Cave temple and a place to look at awesome scenery! <3

Meet up with another friend whom drove all the way from JB up to Ipoh with his family! Meal together at some coffeeshop which is quite famous for their ipoh white coffee. I love their kids! So cute can! Photos of them will be up on blog soon~ LOL! After meal, we went to try their famous beancurd/ soay milk from a stall named funny mountain. Ordered while in car, eat in car and they will collect from you after you have finished. HAHAHA! A smooth and silky beancurd. I LIKE!

Ah San our friend, being the Funny Mountain's 代言人！LOL! GOOD!

We went to another cave temple named Ji Le Tong. It's so windy there with an awesome view of the sunny day while enjoying the wind and being sheltered in the cave. LOL! 

After visiting the caves, IT'S TIME TO EAT AGAIN! 4TH meals of the day! LO! Tried their asam laska and fried durians! I LIKE THEIR FRIED DURIANS, IS REAL DURIANS, not like S'pore kind which only gave the flavouring. This is with texture, smell and the flavoring which cost only 2rm for one!

Oh, did i mention that we are staying at JJ house for this trip? LOL! Yes! We are going to stay over in his house. He said he lived in kampong which means this is my FIRST time staying in a kampong. LOL! Upon reaching his house, we choose our room and put down our things. Something i like about msian, they are really different from Singaporean. They simply treat it like their own house. One went shower, another one went to boil water so on and so forth. LOL! I really enjoyed staying with them, they treated you really like a family instead of an outsider. HAHAHA! A lot of new experiences in this trip, showering w/o the shower head, using water to pour on ourselves is the way of showering, having a kitchen which is much bigger than my own room in Singapore and last but not least, sleeping in the night w/o a need to lock the door, AS IN THE MAIN DOOR. WOW~!

Dinner at Lou Wong Restoran for their famous beansprout chicken rice. I think i preferred Singapore's chicken rice. HAHAHHA! The chicken was not really that tender as what others have described, beansprouts was a little too raw. Nothing much special actually. LOL! But still, anything with CHICKEN, i'll still love it! Being known as 鸡王 during this trip. LOL!

Dessert @ Tang Shui Jie (i gussed). With the courtesy of JJ's gf who brought us for dinner and dessert as JJ have something on. Though, we didn't have much conversation. But i can tell, she is a nice person. =D

I've another meal of my own for supper- KFC from ipoh. LOL! Trying to compare MELAKA OR IPOH KFC. LOL!

Dim Sum @ Ju Chun Yuan $19.80+

I had my Dim Sum Lunch Buffet @ Ju Chun Yuan - Far East Square. S19.80+ used to be $18+ when i first knew about Ju Chun Yuan. IM SO KEEN TO HAVE MEAL THERE THAT I called to make reservations LIKE TWO DAYS BEFORE?! HAHAHAHA! It's a "HOT" place to have dim sum (as in it's always full). Do reach there around 1130am when they just opened- food are more fresh and there are more varieties available. If you were to reach there at 1pm, some dishes might be out of stock! =DD

Very nice place! Somewhere you would love to held some small gathering at! 

THREE OF US! MY FRIENDS AND I! WE HAD ALMOST 30 PLATES OF FOOD! OMG! Guess our previous incarnation = pigs! LOL! I was so full that i think i'll vomit anytime! I REALLY LIKE THE steamed rice noodles roll w bbq pork! <3 Their char sao su was awesome as well! Didnt try their porridge, i was thinking if i was to order the porridge, i won't be able to eat so much on other stuff. LOL!

Took some pics of the dimsum 

I'm nice okay! i took a photo of their menu - dishes available for the buffet!

**We took the highlighted words very seriously that we stuffed ourselves with all the food we ordered**

OUR RECEIPT WHICH SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF FOODS WE ATE! :O

WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR SALTED EGG CUSTARD BUN AKA LIU SA BAO?!

Check it out @ my instagram! <3

Dim Sum @ Victor Kitchen , Korean BBQ @ StarKing

Meet up with Ming and Yvonne early in the morning at 10.30am at Bugis Mrt, planning to have our breakfast at Sunshine Plaza Victor's Kitchen which opens at 10.30am. Reaching there at 11am, the place was already packed with people and we have to Q outside!

DIM SUM @ VICTOR KITCHEN - SUNSHINE PLAZA
Table for 2 is easy. TABLE FOR THREE! FAT HOPE! WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. This is all we get and we have waited for almost an hr! Finally, they got us a table for three at 11.45am! Varieties of food was very limited. Serving of food was really chaos. The place was so packed, space for walking was so limited that the server have to pass the food down from the front and get to us. Sitting all the way in and getting out from there was really hard. People who sat beside you have to stand up and give you space to move. Waiting time for food was fast, however not complete. Food that we ordered was not served, food that we didnt ordered came, trying our best to get their attention to tell them that we DIDN'T ORDER THAT was NOT EASY! Server claimed that we ordered it, OH PLS. PLS AT LEAST MAKE AN EFFORT TO CHECK THE ORDER. Carrot cake that seems to be their signature dish didnt come even though we tried to "remind" them. It's doesnt work.

The Menu 

Believed the boss have tried his best to get everyone what they have ordered, but it's just too chaos and there is really nothing the boss can actually do. I like one of the server, she is really patience and nice. When we raise our hand to get their attention, she approached us with a smile and asked what food was missed out? hahahah! Seems like she knows what's going on very well. LASTLY! I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THEIR LAVA BUN AKA SALTED EGG YOLK CUSTARD BUN, IT'S REALLY REALLY VERY DELICIOUS!

KOREAN BBQ @ STAR KING - TANJONG PAGAR
We had our dinner at star king tanjong pagar at ONLY $23NETT with free flow of icecream and soft drinks! However, i felt a little pressurize by the boss upon stepping into the shop. Just wanted to take a look on what they have, and non-stop promoting their dishes to us till we finally sit down. LOL!

As usual- korean bbq = meat feast. LOL! It's really well marinated, very delicious. i like the pork collar, very juicy really. Icecream was awesome too. COOKIES & CREAM! and total of 4 different flavour available. =DD

With this electric stove, less smoke, less oily. You smell better when u walked out of the shop. LOL

However, Boss will be there looking at you taking, cooking the meat, at times, she will even teach you how to cut the meat. "Over-service" i think. LOL, nevertheless, she is friendly and nice la!
