Happy (belated) Mama's Day!

A one week late post dedicated for Mother's Day heheheeeeeee. It has been a great two weeks of eating due to this special day so it was good news for my tummy. hahahah yay!!

Annual mother's day meal for mummy was at Tung Lok Seafood Orchard Central this year. Celebrated for mummy in advance so as to beat the crowd hehehe and we went for the weekend lunch buffet and the food was good! Good range of food from appetizers, to mains, salads, dim sum (which was a littlle meh) and desserts. Some of their servings were pretty big though but other than that, it was a good meal! 

Some of our dishes. I got tired of snapping cos I just wanted to eat hahaha. They had salmon sashimi too which was pretty fresh too! Yummy! 

Photos with the fam!!! <3

In the evening, we headed down for round 2 of mother's day celebration for my grandma!!! Really good tze char at a coffee shop near my aunt's place! The food is really good. We used to go there quite regularly for family gatherings but haven't been there for quite a while. Yet, the food was still good, did not fail! (Y) 

Love each and every dish here! From the top row down: Fried you tiao, seafood hor fan, Assam fish head (damnnn yumz btw), Har cheong kai, tie ban dou fu (!!!), cereal prawns, veggie and mushrooms, damn gooooood claypot sea cucumber and yam ring!!!

Love good tze char places cos it is really a gem within the neighbourhood. Good food at reasonable prices is the ultimate combination! 

On the exact week we celebrated mother's day cum birthday for my great grandma at Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine. We had sooo many people that there was a need to book an entire section of the restaurant just to house us hahahah. Another day of good food with the maternal side of the family! 

Some of the dishes. I must have forgotten some again because I am pretty sure there was more HAHA.YUMMMMMMY 

With the sis!

With the sis and cousin! 

And finally, on the exact day, we had a second round of celebration for Mummy!!! How to not have anything done on the exact day rightttt. So chef Tan me stepped into the kitchen and prepared steamboat single-handedly for my family! muahahaha. 

 Apart from the yam slices that were too thick LOL, not bad right. Prawns still got pattern LOL






So happy that this year's Mother's day was so well-spent and eventful and that all the plans were successful!! Happy (belated) Mother's day to all mummies out there again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOINGTOING!

Long overdue post for my amazing Toingtoing and her 20th birthday celebration! So thankful that we still take time out to celebrate each other's birthdays even as we leave CJ :) Toingz birthday surprise started off pretty well except for 2 little glitches that happened. The first got to do with my own stupidity hahahahah and the second was that Toingz will be coming over late and how late we have no idea. HAHAHA.

Stupid me revealed the plan in the group chat with Liting inside :(

 Ram and Ruth tried to make things better and Liting appeared trying to make me feel better by pretending she didn't see anything. BOOOHOOO 

Meanwhile in the other chat without Liting.........LOL. 

HAHAHA hais, either way crisis averted and yay it was time for the real surprise!!!!! Surprise lunch buffet treat for LT who has been wanting to go for a buffet for the longest time! Lunch was at Kiseki at Orchard Central which offered quite a spread for lunch buffet! The food was good as well so I thought it was totally worth it!!! Especially the desserts which serves like amazing soft cakes that melt in your mouth and a small scale fondue. and pasta and yakitori and their teppanyaki omg omg omg salivating at the thought of it!!!

Our table full of food!!!! Everything was so nice we finished everything! 





The damn cute birthday girl with her gifts awwww. 

Post lunch activities were held at K-suites! The place Ruth and Toingz have always wanted to bring us. HAHHAHA. We went crazy in the room but it was all fun HAHAH. Can't wait for our next karaoke session once the rest of them end their paper!!! 


Solo shots with the birthday girl! (Excluding Ram cos she had something to attend to at night :( )

My girls with creepy Mr Sun! 




YAYYYY love this bunch to bits. Can't wait for our next meet up!!! Hope you had a great day Toingz! <3 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Haven't been updating this space for the longest time but wow, I have been soooo busy with all the exams and assignments charging at me in full force. But now that these are all out of the way, I can finally welcome my holidays which I am extremely excited about!

Well, technically my holidays started about a week ago (hehehe) so....

Just a quick update about some important happenings that took place in my life! 

Birthday celebration for Victor at I Am...Cafe on one of the weekends. Nice little shop which is halal and serve pretty decent food at reasonable prices. Only down part is that their menu don't seem to be fixed so it is really pretty much by luck I suppose. On the day that we went, they were serving all day breakfast which wasn't what we had in mind but oh well, food is good so no complaints :) It was a pretty small place but it doesn't feel too cluttered. I wouldn't mind going back again to give their other main course a try too!


Eggs ben for both hudds and I, pancake stack for Victor and egg and sausage set for Bryan. They serve nice coffee too! 


Birthday boy with his massive rainbow cake! The cake was sooo pretty but serving was huge! 

 customized this shirt for Victor as well for his birthday :') glad he likes it! 

The amazing company that I am always thankful for

Came home from hall during one of the weeks and le sis and I decided to give this cafe that we have discovered online a try! Pretty nice place that stands on its own amidst a lot of hardware shops. Just a nice, quiet place that has a nice ambience. Perfect for some quiet time :) 

Would have loved the place more........if we had ordered the right dishes. The dishes we ordered sucked lol but I would give it a benefit of doubt that we were unlucky enough to order something that tasted terrible hahahaha. Because there are many good reviews online!! 

Oh, the cafe in question is none other than L'etoile Cafe btw. 



Love the interior because they have this whole cottage-y feel to it that adds to the comfort of the place! 

My sis' cappuccino


 OUR DISHES!! LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF FRIES!!!!!!!!!!

That plate of truffle fries is enormous! Like it was huge, REALLY HUGE. and we were shocked when our beef sandwich came with another pile of fries beside it. It was really fries overload. Oh, plus the beef sandwich was terrible. I eat beef but I hate it when beef dishes have that overpowering beef smell to it. Complete turn off. The patty was dry, smelly cos of the smell and the bread was dry too. No difference from eating..........sand I suppose. Everything was just too dry and it was just difficult swallowing it. Bleurghhh. 

But! Judging from the satisfied look of everyone else around us, I am pretty certain we have ordered the wrong dish. HAHAHA. Maybe I will still give this place a second chance to redeem itself for the atrocity that it presented to us on our first trip there! ;)
