Been soooo long since I updated but these weeks have been so hectic! I am just thankful for a little breather over the weekends because weekdays are just suffocating hahaha. Spent my week mugging either in the study room or in my room and chionging essays and assignments. YAY finally the teaching weeks are coming to an end!! :D

Even decided to come back on Wednesdays after tuition to complete my assignments. hahaha talk about dedication guys.

My weekly Wednesday dinner. Cheap sushi from Fairprice but still as satisfying. :)

Satisfied Xiuxiu and I after our welfare pack collection! Yay to more discount vouchers and handy laundry bags hehehe. 

Have been having really good local food with my parents over these two weekends. Really love local food and can never get enough of it! Even if that means having meals in crazily warm and packed hawker centers, it is all worth it for the sake of good food!!! 

At Chinatown hawker center! The famous claypot rice that gets sold out so quickly is my all time favourite there. Must try!!! Tender chicken and fragrant rice, really the ultimate combination. Have tried the other stalls in the hawker center before too but really, nothing beats this! 

Dinner yesterday was at Newton Circus Food Center. We had so much food but the time lag prevented me from taking pictures of our entire table cos everyone was just so eager to start. hahaha. Nonetheless, a picture of my favourite BBQ Stingray!! HUGE serving with generous amount of Sambal!!! Shiokkkkkk! 

Personally thought that the food was a little more pricey at Newton as compared to the other hawker centers out there but I guess that is a given. However, the food there was really good, so I am not complaining over here.  

Met the sis on Friday for some well-deserved break. Decided to go for Sukiya at Plaza Singapura, the new extension. Lunch promotion was going at $17.90++ per pax for 2 soup bases and unlimited meat (chicken, pork and beef). The soup base was thick and flavourful and meat was so thinly sliced that it cooks real quick and was really delicious! 

The two soup base that we opted for was the pork broth and the one that is meant for sukiyaki or something. Can't exactly remember but I think that was how it was being described. 

Vegetables and the different kinda balls were free flow. Ramen etc were too. But I was pretty disappointed with the spread because their spread was really limited. They didn't even have the basic Enoki mushroom which I thought was like an essential!!! There weren't many choices of items as well so basically I would suggest that you go there and feast on the meat. Don't bother heading over to the buffet counter cos there isn't much to take hahaha. 

Another disappointing part of this place was the really lousy service that was being provided. There were only like 5 tables taken up in the shop that day, but the staff were really inattentive. It was so hard to call for a waiter's attention and it took us quite a while to get our meat and soup refilled. Furthermore, this other guy whom I'd assume was the manager cos he was wearing a different colour uniform was unfriendly and he left us standing outside the shop even though he spotted us for quite a while before deciding to lead us in. No smiles throughout his entire service. Really really bad. Food was good though, but I doubt I will visit that place again if I had a choice. Such a waste!
