BFF

Still on holiday mood as I'm on leave today and tmr.

Brought the kids to Lot One to meetup with Yen Yuan cause Veona has been wanting to take Neo Print with her.

Bf at KFC. Surprisingly the BF they served is quite nice especially the chicken porridge.


Cam whoring in action. The Neo Print isn't that user friendly as it's in Jap and most of them we just humptam as we are not really sure what each function meant.

BFF (Best Friend Forever). Hope their friendship will last as they will be going to different secondary school.









Playing Arcade Game,

@Children's Playground at Lot One Garden Roof Top.


Kennie was on half day leave and we went shopping for Videl's CNY clothes. She's a bit mai fan cause most of the clothes didn't catch her eyes.

Lunch at our favourite Fish Head Noodle at Bugis Village Food Centre. The whole FC is super duper dirty. Most of the tables were stacked with plates and people also leave the plates on the floor. Heard that the Cleaning Co. actually walked out on them due to some disagreements and so there's no one to clear the mess.




We are so considerate as we cleared up the mess that we have created after eating.

1st 4D of the Year.

Our Bf at Bukit Gombak and visited Mum.

Nice Masala Thosai and Chicken Rice.



After the flooding session on New Year Eve, we pick some lucky no. to buy 4D. As the Chinese saying, water = wealth, so we tried our luck as maybe God is giving us some hint. Hehe. Wasted $7 in the end.
Lunch/Dinner at Tong Chiang Claypot Restaurant at 324 Lavendar St. It's located at a corner coffee shop at the junction of Serangoon Road and Lavender Street. They specialised in claypot rice and Hakka cuisine. Pricing was rather reasonable and portion was generous too. The dishes in the menu that have red dot on them denoted that the dish is of Hakka origin. If you didn't know this you might think those dots indicated chef recommendations. So this is a place to come if you are looking for nice and affordable Hakka cusine.



I love the Suan Pan Zi (算盘子) here. Suan Pan Zi is made of yam and flour that looks like the beads in chinese abacus (算盘). The beads are fried with Chinese mushroom, minced pork, chinese parsley, dried shrimps, and tau kwa. The beads are chewy and overall this dish is extremely savoury

Claypot White Wine with Chicken - Tender chicken cooked in Chinese white wine.

Their Speciality - Chicken Claypot rice. I still prefer the claypot rice at Chinatown Market

Hakka Yong Tau Foo.

Something special. Pig stomach with beancurd stick soup. The thing that make it special is that they added in the beancurd stick but imo, it actually spoil the soup. Pig stomach soup will taste nice just with white pepper seeds.

Salted Vege with Duck Soup. I would say the soup here is disappointing

Welcome 2011! Happy Bday to Mil & visit to Haw Par Villa

Vegetarian BF for our first meal for 2011. Hope everything goes smoothly for 2011. & I need more $$$$$.. $ not enough. Huat ah!

It's Mil's bday as well. Happy Bday Mil. Stay happy and healthy. Celebrated her bday at Chilli Padi Nonya Cafe located at Heng Mui Keng Terrace, which is inside NUS, next to the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.

A no frills eat-all-you-can buffet costing below $20. The buffet spread was well laid out, and the decorations and accessories to decorate the spread was quite well done. They have most of the signature nonya dishes like ayam buah keluak,sayur lodeh,nonya chap chye,beef rendang,curry fish assam,achar, mee sian, laksa and quite a variety of nonya kueh. But I would say the food is not very fantastic but for the amount we paid for, it's actually quite value for money.














Kevin suggested visiting Haw Par Villa after lunch. Think most of us would have thought that the place has closed down for good but on the contrary, it's still opened and it's FOC. Only need to pay $5 for the parking fee and we can even drive our car up and park inside Haw Par Villa.

Those who are born in the eighties and earlier should be very familar with this place and should bring back fond memories. I love this place but think I have only visited it 2 or 3 times only as the entrance fee was quite ex then. My favourite attractions is the boat ride that drop from the top but it's no longer in operation and also the 18 levels of hell. oh btw, heard that this place is haunted.

Left after a while as Granny was tired and it's also going to rain. Will organise a trip here again soon as there's lots more to explore.















Our dinner at Toa Payoh Lor 7 FC. Very nice Nice Oyster Omelette. It's by far 1 of the nicest oyster omelette that we have eaten.




Kennie went to Toa Payoh Central to touch up (tattoo) her eye brow. It looks much better this time. Can't stand the shop assistant cause she's like those hardcore salesman that keep recommending their products. Keep asking Kennie to do this do that buy this buy that.
