LAO BEIJING DAY

This week's appointments, be it lunch or dinner dates are all very last minute. It's like today I ask you if you are free, tomorrow we are meeting! HAHA. Good, I love it. Never felt so free and I have never went out for so many consecutive days in a week! My whole calender is like booked and booked and booked.

So I met Fungie yesterday. It was arranged on Monday. We initially wanted to catch a good movie but there was nothing really nice. So we went to eat Lao Beijing High Tea Buffet which was recommended by the Ch8 TV show, Yong Yuan Chi Bu Fei.

High wasit belt is the trend! I bought this shirt a year back but I totally don't know to wear it in a pretty way. And everytime i wear it, I always look like Im pregnant. TAdeh! With the wonders of high waist belt, it looks better, isnt it? :)

Xiao Hei's mummy say the high waist belt that I have and she wanted to get it lor.

Went to PS Lao Beijing. And while roaming the mall, we saw this!

BABY SPA!

Look, look, look! what is this world becoming man. Now even babies have spa! Look at how cute the chubby lil thing is! -pinch-pinch- I think he was enjoying it somehow, but got freak out when his sister holds the balloon dog over her face? LOL

Lao Beijing Hi Tea buffet is TOTALLY CRAZY! It starts at 3pm, ends at 5pm. BUT, you have to start queuing to get the queue no at 2pm sharp. We reach there at 1.55pm and there are already 5 groups before us queuing liao. Fungie says, her friend came at around 2.15pm or 2.30pm and all queue numbers were taken liao. Kua Zhang ma?

I was hungry like siao liao, since I ate nth before that. And when 3pm arrives, our queue number was called, we rushed in. Wrong, i meant everyone rushed in. Here we witness the KIASU spirits of all beloved Singaporeans!

Even for our dearest Fungie! When i was about to place my bag on the chair, she already disappear from her seat and start queuing! HAHA. In a short while, she is back with sooooooo many siew mais and fried popiahs.

Before we began our meals.

During our meals, we were too bored that we cam whore. HAHA

Looking at the number of people queuing, i thought it was something great. But to my disappointment, everything is not what I expected. Limited variety, top up slow, cold food, how to do buffet like that?

The only thing that was not bad, was the steaming hot xiao long bao. Fungie ate one and said,"ZAI LAI YI GE!"

The rest was yucks. The mee was tasteless! LOok at us and you will know!

The dumplings are cold.

When you have an empty bottle on your table, it is a good prop for photo taking!
Can you see my heart?

CLASSIC CAN!
金枕头!!!

What? speak louder! Cannot hear!

Then walk to town and shop abit. Bought two high waist belt for Xiao Hei's mummy cuz the family is going back China today.

SO CUTE RIGHT! Aunty bought this for Xiao Hei to bring back to China. HEY! Why never buy for me!? :(

Met Shigong the other day for movie and dinner. Look what he is doing!

A SMILING BANANA PANCAKE! :D

Meeting Jie Ying for shopping today at Vivocity and Lishan will be joining us for dinner! MICHELLE, come back fast! :)

Malaysia Kukup Trip - 7 December 08

I think I can really sleep when I go overseas. Be it on the boat, on the train, on the bus. As long as Im sitting down, doing nothing, I can doze off, right Lishan? LOL

Went Kukup with ah aunty and ah gong on Sunday. It was a journey full of delays. It was an organised trip by rediffusion, the only subscription radio in Singapore. When I was born, the radio is already in the house. If you have called my house before, Im sure you often hear those old opera and old songs playing at the background, yes that's my Rediffusion and it's on twenty-four hours. Even when we are sleeping, watching TV, eating, whatever, the radio box continues talking.

So yes, you will expect the older generation form the majority of the listeners. This trip has 3 buses, and 3 DJs joined us, one on each bus.

Ok, the first delay was, one aunty went alone and she forgotten to get her passport chopped at the Malaysia custom. It's only when our bus drove off, and she asked aunty to help her checked then she realised it wasn't chopped.

Bobian, die die have to travel back cuz the issue will be more difficult to settle when we go back at night. Perhaps all of us will have to stay in Msia? Haha.

Many trees, barren land, many sign boards, where can you find all these in Singapore?

We visited Pewter Factory where we can see how tins are made into different kinds of pewter.

I love kids, kids love me! LOL. They are called Rou Rou (elder) and Ni Ni (younger). Ni Ni is so CUTE! :))

Then we travelled to Kukup Fishing Village, and have our lunch by the Kelong. The food is good, seafood is fresh, spices are great. But becuse it's the eve of Hari Raya Haiji, the crowd is terrible and there are not enough rice! The toilet stinks and the flushing system is spoilt! Can you imagine, I just gobbled down a mouthful of crabs and prawns, and when i entered all three cubicles, what I saw was, Urine, Da Bian & Lao Sai! I nearly puked -_-

But well, disgusting issues aside, take a look at the kelong and the yummy food!

We boarded a boat that drives us around to see the small kelongs, where only Chinese lived there. And they just sell the fishes and crabs and prawns and whats not from the sea to earn a living. And the restaurant just threw whatever rubbish from the table into the sea, be it prawn shells, crabs shells, tissues etc. So yea, we can just smell the stench.

The tip of jelly fish is poisonous is it?

Then we headed to Kukup Fruit Farm cum Durian plantation. ok calling it a plantation is totally wrong cuz it's damn small, and u just walk in a small circle garden and thats the end. I only spotted two pathetic durian trees with small durians (cuz its not the durian season now! sadness!)

The owner doesnt recall the name of this fruit but it was said that it can cure cancer?

Spot the durians on the tree!

Well done, 5 mosquitoe bites from the plantation! Then we went Jusco for shopping! due to time contraints, driver lost the way, visit some northern part of SEA etc, we were only given 45mins to shop this big shopping mall! it's something like Vivocity la, all the brands that we have in Spore is also available there. Manage to buy 2 basic tops and ah gong bought a pair of shoes.

And i saw old town coffee! I miss the old town kopi that i drank at east coast! Find one day, I want to go back East Coast Old Town for breakfast.

Reached home at 1130PM.
好累哦！

Xiao Hei is leaving tml morning! Feeling quite apologetic cuz I think I havent been a good host, never bring them around, and Im always occupied with my stuffs. Nevertheless, Im gona miss them :)

Meeting Fungie to eat Lao Beijing High Tea Buffet. Now it's 12.47PM and I m supposed to meet her at 1PM. I haven't dry my hair, I haven't changed. OH MINE! She's gona kill me! HAHA

THAT'S ALL FOLKS! TATA!~

Yummy Saturday!

It has been a very very very busy loooong weekend!
Let's talk about my tired Saturday 1st.

Took a cab to Paya Lebar MRT station to meet a mask buyer. She was rushing for work, so I had no choice but to meet her at that place early morning, 1015AM. I had nothing to do till 12PM, so I walked to City Plaza to shop. It was way too early and most of the shops weren't opened yet. But I saw alot of really pretty and cheap clothes.

Then took a train to Tiong Baru MRT. Meeting a bunch of food bloggers for lunch at Persimmon, Link Hotel. This is a really ulu boutique hotel hidden somewhere between Outram and Tiong Baru MRT station. I totally had no idea how to go there. Bobian, took cab again. But guess what, i boarded TWO cabs and none of the taxi uncle knew where the hell it was. Thankfully, the 3rd one drove me to the place safely.

I think Persimmon is very quiet usuall since it's a newly opened fusion restaurant. But with the 28 of us around on a Saturday afternoon, the place became very noisy. I have not seen anyone there before, it's just sound like those make-new-friends session!

But oh mine, they actually know about my food blog! Some of there were like, "I know your blog"..."Oh, so you are the owner of the only chinese food blog!"..."Oh! you posted your Hong Kong photos right!"...& there was even one guy said "You are the NTU blogger who has the chinese food blog!"

I'm like STUNNED!

But anyway, it was a happy and lively lunch though the food wasnt what I had expected. To me, I can accept the idea of fusion food, but it must comes with a style, not like anyhow mix machiam rojak. I think there are still rooms of improvements for the restaurant. Anw, there were still some good ones!

I just think this jelly is pretty. BUT it's way too hard.

This chicken rice salad is YUMMY! It's special! U are eating ang moh salad, with the chicken rice soy sauce plus chicken rice chilli, and boiled chicken with fried chicken rice! It's their specialty.

Group photo of our table.

Then after the lunch, went out with a few of the food bloggers to Chinatown Point to have yummy kopi! The shop was set up by another member of makan sutra forum. The texture is very smooth. it's called "Good Morning Nanyang!"

Then went off to meet Mummy to go Chunkfest at Fort Canning. Couldn't find anyone to go together, so asked mummy along. It was raining but it didnt dampen the spirits of ice cream lovers! the queue to buy the ice cream was damn long like a few kilometers, and mummy was trying to queue which i think will take TWO hours? But thankfully, i got a free scoop in the end! :)

Look at the crowd. Machiam free ice cream like that! oh mine! they even have a competition where you can form group of 4 and eat 20 scoops of ice creams with 20 different fillings etc and see who can finish in the shortest amt of time! and all the competitors were mainly BIG men! LOL

They even have small stalls such as:

Crystal Ball fortune telling!

and tarot reading! i think tarot scene in spore is v small. I noe her, she noe me! haha

Thanks for HUNGRYCOW's recommendation and introduction, I got a free scoop of the NEW FLAVOUR! THANK YOU BEN N JERRY! :)

Went to town for shopping. But i was really tired and my new Pretty Fit shoes are damn wet with soil liao. and i was damn full...

so just walk around, looking for fungie's xmas gift! haha. and dinner was at ajisen, which was very disappointing. the Ajisen at causeway point was MUCH MUCH BETTER than the one at Taka.

Wanted to go home after dinner, but saw Giordano having 40% sales and we went in to join in the fun! suibian bought 3 tshirts at 10 bucks each.

Then pop by Cotton On and Mummy began trying some tops and bought one.

I tried on 3 dresses from Cotton On and 1 dress from Forever21, Mummy said they looks pretty and wanted me to get them.

BUT I BOUGHT NOTHING AT ALL! :(
I am tired and I just wana go home!

Next post: Msia Kukup trip

I WANT TO GET A DLSR!

当两个人对爱情价值观不同，唯有互相迁就及体谅。
可是若走了那么久，发现不能再hold on，或许放手是最好的选择。
To Fungie：
不要难过，挥别了爱情，至少你还有友情的存在。:)
