Chicken Hot Pot

05 Sep

Since I had just received my first paycheck from this new company, I said to KC that dinner was on me! The restaurant of his choice was.. Chicken Hot Pot (鸡公煲) at Level 4, Novena Square 2. Apparently, it is a franchise originated from Shanghai! They serve three types of base for its hot pot – chicken, beef and prawn. We ordered 2 small pots, chicken and prawn. You may also specify your preferred level of spiciness. We went for the medium level and it was still acceptable. I guess we could go one more level up next time! :D

Chicken Hot Pot – Loved the strong fragrance.

Prawn Hot Pot – With tom yam gravy, not spicy at all for us.

Espresso Frappe

28 Apr

Yesterday, we patronized the Starbucks at Wisma Atria, Orchard after dinner to try their latest brew – Espresso Frappuccino.

Our espresso stays roasty even when it’s cold

So true! Espresso is usually served hot but Starbucks is serving it as frappuccino this time. The frappe tasted a bit sweet for me. Still, it brings out the roasty flavor of the espresso, poured over shaved ice.

Indian Food Marathon

04 Feb

Yup, Indian food for the past three days at work!

During the past three days, we had two events to observe – a colleague, who will be leaving us end of this week and a Malaysian colleague, who came over to our Singapore plant for a three-day knowledge transfer session.


Two good Indian restaurants – The Prata Place and Shami Banana Leaf Delights. Bottom left – the colleague who will be leaving us, top right – my best buddy in the company, bottom right – Mr. project manager and the Malaysian colleague.

Although it was the first time I had nasi briyani, I think Shami Banana Leaf Delights has the best nasi briyani. Yummy! It was my second time at The Prata Place. The first time was also because of a farewell for another colleague. I think people who love prata should really try the pratas there. We ordered mutton (M-size), chicken (M-size) and vegetable (XL-size) murtabaks. Yup, they have small, medium and extra-large sizes for their murtabaks. An XL-size murtabak is roughly 1m2 big. Haha. Huge, isn’t it? Each of us ordered our individual pratas too. I ordered a chocolate prata! And got teased by my boss!

“Eh.. Only kids would order chocolate prata.”

But, it tasted really good! So, so, so crispy!

A gift from heaven

28 Nov

I arrived at the train station at 7 plus this morning. The train was delayed for at least one hour the night before. Before that, I had to queue at both Woodlands and Johor Bahru checkpoints for almost 2 hours in total. It was the most tiring Singapore-KL trip I’ve experienced! Hence, I slept through most of the hours after reaching home.

Mom cooked yummy lunch for me. And for dinner, my family and I went to Susan’s Bistro at Sg. Long for an advance Birthday dinner for ME! Susan’s Bistro serves Italianese food. We ordered fish and chips, chicken cordon, salmon steak, pizza, carbonara pasta, etc. We were all stuffed and could hardly walk to the car.

I received a string of surprises from my family. Look! A cute handmade birthday card from my cute brother, a lovely ring from my Ma cha (I have been complaining that my ring doesn’t fit me anymore, that it’s getting looser and looser) and an mp3 walkman from both sisters.

My Dearest Ma Cha

09 Nov

She is 48 this year but to me, she is still the 30 plus aunty from a decade ago. To be honest, I always lost track to how old she is each year and I almost always go by current year minus 1961. Shhhh..

She is such a dear when it comes to juggling our daily activities/needs. Just tell her that you’re running low on shampoo, shower foam or facial cleanser, you’ll get it the next day. Sudden crave for laksa? No problem. She’ll take you to your usual laksa stall for breakfast the next morning. Don’t mention to her that you’re having sore throat or else some black-colored chinese herbal tea will appear in front of you. But.. mind you, she can be very fierce when you start to annoy her. Someone in the family knows it best :p

As such, we have never failed to surprise her on her birthday each year and we have always been putting up something different everytime.
