Last Day of November :)

How did you spend your last day of November? :) Lin and I met up with Wendy for dinner near her workplace. :) She was "invisible" for a month??? Perhaps it's almost 8pm, the queue at Itacho Sushi Changi Airport T3 wasn't that long.

 

The selection for the 3 of us:

 

Wendy finished her meal off with mini eel rice while we finished ours with a bowl of beef udon. :) A simple Friday can be sooooo good! :)

Fit for a Princess :)

It's difficult to buy pressies for kids nowadays. They have almost everything! The chances of them having similar stuff such as toys, books, dvds and clothes are high. I pondered for a while and came up with this "brilliant" idea of getting Yakults for Clara babe & her friends. This carton of Yakults were erm.... HEAVY! *.* Anyway the kids love them. So it's worth our effort. :)

 

Amy (Clara's mommy & our ex-neighbour) & Cindy (Clara's godmom) created a fabulous candy buffet table any kid would be spoilt for choice! :D

 

Disney princesses is an "IN" thing for little girls. :)))

 

Even the b'day cake was princessy. :))) Clara is 4! :D

 

The kids were kept entertained with a rather engaging magic show and balloon sculpting.

 

Bryden & Clara :)

 

The adults simply savour their afternoon tea... :)

 

On a side note, I couldn't help but stopped my car to take a pic of these lovely trees while driving to Clara's b'day party. :)

 

 

A Night in "Hong Kong"

This weekend, we headed to "Hong Kong" for a quick getaway! :)))

Oh well, it's actually a movie nite & sleepover at Ann's place. :) Popcorns, prawn crackers, chips, coke & ice cream. All needed for a a perfect staycation. ;)

And DIY mask treatments! Women can be such contradictory beings. We wanna pamper our skin but late nite's not helping. Then again, doing something is better than not doing anything! :)))

We wanna have an ultra shiok dinner but feel really guilty there after and yet can't bring ourselves to move but plonk infront of the google box. :)

Our dinner: fried Hokkien mee, fishballs soup, fried carrot cake,

 popiah, chicken wings, stingray,

tau suah and ice longans :)

Tina was the first to be knocked out...our bedtime was approx 4.35am... :)))

 

Round two began at 11.00am with brunch: braised duck and sliced fish noodles. :)

 

 We ended our "Hong Kong" trip at 2.00pm. Time to check out! :D

Tuesday Dinner's at Two Chefs

Tonite's dinner's at Two Chefs Eating Place with Ling Lee and her two friends, Gina & Jolene. :) It's Lin and my maiden visit here. :))) The place reminded us a little of Hong Kong's dai pai dong. :) As such I actually had heighten expectation of the food...

 

Despite the ladies's raving recommendations to try the cold cockles, Lin and I gave it a miss. :)

 

I'm not into prawn paste chicken but I did enjoy the tender pork ribs coated with milk powder. :) This would make a perfect dish for Christmas as it resembles snow covered grounds.

 

Cholestrol high 3 egged veg is always welcomed. :))) The tofu with enoki and minced pork was average.

 

The dinner was completed with fried rice and peppery radish soup.

Syunsui Soba Buckwheat Noodles

This Syunsui's cha soba is almost forgotten by us...it actually expired 2 weeks ago??? Lin bought it during her last business retreat to Nagano. Nagano is best known for its soba.

 

Anyway I decided to cook it for lunch as it looked ok still... :) I can't remember when's the last time I cooked my own lunch. :)))

I did a Mori soba, which is the most basic chilled soba noodles, for Lin & myself. Oh and I added "lava" hard boiled eggs to each bowl. :)

 

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp...

 

Lunchtea with Ivan! :)

Whee wee! :) We did lunchtea (lunch + tea) at Cedele with Ivan, cousin & Ad today.

 

I can't help taking pics of Ivan's shoes. He has an impressive collection of shoes! Ivan wore a bright, cheery yellow leather handmade shoes that was perfect for a rainy Sat! :) He has this pair of shoes in 5 different colours!!! :D Ultra soft & comfy!

 

Check out what Ad, cousin & us had! :)

Braised Porky Feast :)

A television program on braised pork dishes got Lin and me craving for some of these sinful, flavourful braised pork bellies! :D

 

So we had them tonight!!! :)

 

These mean pork bellies go well with buns and noodles. :)))

 

Time to walk off the fats... :)))

 

Happy Friday!
