Swimming lesson was cancelled as the weather is not very good. So thoughtful of the coach to msg me to check if we wanna cancel the swimming lesson as the water is very cold.

We ended at Tim Ho Wan. We were earlier today. Reached at 9am and managed to get in the first wave. Service was quite prompt but the food is not worth the queue. It's better than most of the dim sum shop but to queue for 2 hours is definitely not worth it.


Look at the crazy queue. I think those behind will have to wait for 3 hours or more.
The menu. Not all items are available on the order chits
The order chit. Not all items are available as well. 
Plain water cost $0.50. Oh please. I can buy hw many gallons of water with $0.50.


Tim Ho Wan's 4 Heavenly Kings 四大天王

1. Heavenly King no. 1 - 酥皮焗叉燒包 Baked Bun with BBQ Pork (3pcs), S$4.50


Baked Bun with BBQ pork  is nice. Even Kennie ate it though she's not a fan for Char Siew.
2. Heavenly King no. 2 - 香滑馬來糕 Steamed Egg Cake, S$3.80 per piece
It looks ordinary to me. Why is it one of the heavenly kings?
3. Heavenly King no. 3 - 香煎蘿蔔糕 Pan-fried Carrot Cake (3 pcs), S$4.50
Something special. Can feel and taste the slices of white radish
4. Heavenly King no. 4 - 密味叉燒腸 Vermicelli Roll with Liver , S$5.50
The liver is too raw for Kennie and the kids. Can see traces of blood in the liver. 
The rest of the items. Heavenly queen, princess, prince, duke etc. Lol
Pork Rib with Black Bean sauce  - Too fatty
Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce - I like this.
Prawn Dumpling - Nice.
Pork Dumpling with Shrimp - just average

Vermicelli Roll with beef. We didnt order this. Imagine they served to those customers who dont take beef. Think they will sue them. 
This is nice. Spring roll with egg white.
Beancurd skin roll with shrimp - I like fried stuff so definitely a nice dish to me.
Tasteless Yam Sago. They shd at least have some QC before serving,

Our dinner at Blk 347 Bt Batok. 1 of our favourite Teochew porridge stalls.

Indeed I'm really a very Kiasu Singaporean. Must always be the first (among friends) to try new stuff. Heard that Tim Ho Wan has just opened their 1st restaurant in Singapore and immediately rushed down on weekend hoping to try it.

There's a massive jam at PIE due to accident. 2 lanes were closed and it involved 3 motorcycles and many cars. Hope nothing serious happened to them.  Reached Tim Ho Wan at 9.30am. Long queue has already been formed. I dont think we will be able to get in when the restaurant opened at 10am. Will have to queue for another 1.5 to 2 hours. Sian. Didnt want to waste our previous time queuing.  So ended having Mac breakfast. Bought an ipad 2 for Mum for her Bday. Kennie was the big winner today. Bought quite a lot of stuff.






Kopi at Dome. Have not drink kopi since our GC trip.
Dinner at Eng Seng Restaurant at Joo Chiat. Many people rank the black pepper crabs here as the best in Singapore. It's nice but it's a bit too sweet imo. More pepper taste would be nicer. The crabs are also very small. We are used to eating crab that weight about 1kg and not 500g.

After dinner, we went to Parkway Parade for window shopping. 

We ordered most of their popular dishes.
Mee Goreng
Kai Lan 
Fried You Tiao with Sotong Meat
Black Pepper Crabs. We told the guy we wanted 3 crabs and he ended giving us 4. Luckily the crabs were not very big. Only 2.1kg,

Swimming lesson without Videl and fetched her back from camping.

Went airport to send off Karin. She seems very emotional today. Cried and gave all of us a hug. Hmmm.. is she keeping something from us?

Send Veona to her school for Band practice. Videl was at NPCC camp since yest.

Bf at our  place

Belated bday treat from Kevin and Alison at Ubin Seafood. Actually they did not say they are treating me.  Kevin just ask me out for dinner and I assumed they are treating me. LOL. When the bill came, I just asked Kevin. U treating me right? Buay Paiseh.

Justin is working there as a waiter. He's totally a different person when working. Very hardworking and responsible. The food is just average and it's quite ex. The bill came up to $388.














The only thing worth mentioning would be the ribeye steak.Found the below article when googling  the net
