Sh1ma @ Goodwood Park

Met up with Ah Gu as he is flying off to NZ to study soon and we went to Sh1ma @ Goodwood Park for lunch, recommended by bro and mummy...

Teppanyaki Buffet Lunch @ $39.90++

Appetiser - Prawn tempura, shisamo tempura, salmon sashimi, california handroll

Main course - Beef, chicken, salmon, oyster, mixed vege, garlic rice, steamed rice, miso soup

Dessert - Fresh fruit, coffee, tea

I had quite a few servings of sashimi as it is really fresh. Other than that, i also like shisamo (doesnt have the v fishy taste), oyster (big and fresh) and beef (tender and kind of melt in your mouth).

Had a great time chatting with Gu, time flies, alot of ppl has changed and lost contact , glad that we still keep memories of the past and still maintain our bro-sis-ship since secondary sch till now. All the best to his new life as a student...

Junie's super belated birthday

Junie's birthday was early this month but didnt manage to catch up with her for celebration till today.... Was cracking my brains about what to get for her??? Since we will be meeting at Gallery hotel to have Miharu ramen, i suddenly recall tat there is this nice looking chocolate place at Central ---- Gobi so i check out their website. They have alot of mouth-watering pictures on their website and i decided to make a trip there before dinner.

Here's what i have gotten for her - a 12pcs box

From the left - Dark Angel, Smell the Rose, Sweet Something, Cupid, Love Boat, Opera

Even though this is for her bdae present, she is nice enough to share some with me, we had the dark angel (nice not-to-sweet chocolate cake), Sweet Nothing (i love this as the strawberry is fresh and it blends well with the macarons), Cupid (cannot really figure out what is this but guess it might be cheese cream with some flavouring?), Opera (not bad) and the mini macarons (nothing to wow about but nice).... In the end, she had only 7 left to bring home to enjoy hehe thanks Junie.

Actually meeting up with her is more of catching up as we have endless things to talk about so food for this time round is not the main focus. Anyway here's what we had...

Pork Belly which looks so oily and yucky but it doesnt taste like what it seems perhaps bcoz i am a fat lover.

Gyoza - nothing special but not bad as well.



Junie had cold ramen as recommended by her colleague as it has a more QQ feeling which i agree but she also tried to explain that it has a very "mee" taste which i am still trying to understand hehe


I had the Tonkotsu Ramen, something diff from the previous time but i cannot rem the differences between the two. Frankly speaking, didnt find it as nice as the first time i had their ramen maybe bcoz i have too little soup and too much mee and ingredients so in the end, my soupy mee becomes mee-gia dry (maybe becoz Junie took a couple of slurp as she prefers mine to hers hehe).

Then we waited at Gallery hotel till BE picks us up while we chat and chat again.....

The world is so small......

Went to vintage's convocation on friday and unexpectedly we saw so many other people who also graduate at the same time - ZY, Blur Queen, Issac, WJ Junior and Dar.... Had real fun catching up with them and taking pictures there even though we were not the one graduating.

We went ah di's place for mahjong after that, long time never play liao, my hands felt the itch.... The all-time suay kuis (Anything and me) tag team and we won!!! Yppie our luck has finally changed for the better. Then we browsed through all those silly video clips and photos for my montage - really miss those times, must admit we are no longer young liao already in mid twenties =(

This week was a real busy week for me after the photoshoot plus down with viral infection due to cockles so have not been blogging since then...

Not to forget to thank Junie for the belated birthday treat.. muacks!

Dining @ Per/e N0ire

Belated Birthday Treat for Junie @ Per/e N0ire, this restaurant is recommended by other food bloggers so we decided to give it a try.... Located besides the Cheesecake Place along Siglap area.

We were the only customers when we arrived @ about 7+. This place has a romantic setup with the lights along the walkway, i will much prefer that the promotion poster is not hung up high as it spoilts the whole ambience.

While waiting for Junie to go ladies, i had a brief chat with the waitress telling her that Junie is a food blogger with the intention of tasting her food and posting the reviews in her blog... Haha this makes the waitress so anxious as she is worried that it wont meet our expectations. She got Junie to write down her blog so that they can publicise to other diners... Sorry Junie that i create public awareness without your approval.

We ordered oysters for our appetisers. Their menu shows a variety or origin of oysters but they only have those from France and Canada. I am not sure if there is anything wrong with my taste bud but i cannot really taste the difference except aht the France oysters (bigger ones on the left of the pic) is salty and the Canada ones is sweeter. Frankly speaking, it is difficult for me to decide which is nicer as i am not a oyster expert. To me, it tastes nice as long as it is fresh.

Next we had foie gras with avocado japanese rice as our starters. Being an internal organ lover (sounds disgusting isnt it?), i love this dish. Dont understand what makes it relatively more expensive as compared to chicken liver, as both tastes similar except that foie gras will really melt in your mouth when you eat it. Yummy! Is bird flu the cause of making chicken unwanted and cheaper?

Anyway, here comes our main course for the day - Tenderloin stuffed with oyster wrapped with bacon, flavoured with red wine sauce and the highly recommended Pork rack with mash pumpkin... Personally i will prefer and recommend the pork rack as it is really tender and you can hardly find a pork main course which is as nice elsewhere.

We ended our meal with the dessert - Brownie coated with nuts and Ice cream.

Love chatting over dinner as it is only during this time when we can catch up with friends sharing things which have happened in our life over the years.

Sun Moon Dining @ Wheelock Place

Finally got a chance to meet up with Michie for dinner today, we decided to go Sun Moon Dining @ Wheelock Place. It was a nice get-together session - just realised it has been half a year since i last met her during her wedding in Oct'06. The food presentation looks so eye-catching till i cannot resist taking some pictures to post it here.

Our favourite salmon sashimi - looks so fresh and mouthwatering

Rainbow roll - Crab with mango and avocado sushi

Beef and scallop teppanyaki

Didnt manage to take the pic of our last dish - chicken, brocolli and potato with cheese and curry hotplate as we were so engrossed with our conversation. This is so yummy as they really put in lots of cheese which i simply love it, will taste even nice if curry is omitted as it doesnt seem to blend it with the cheesy taste.

Next to the restaurant is a handicraft shop which you can DIY your own scrapbook, photo album, etc... Looks so interesting and was tempted to sign up for the course so that i can make one for my wedding but it cost $280 for 4 lessons with materials. Aiyo it is so expensive, I will rather spend the money on more food or save for my honeymoon. Anyway i was thinking if a scrapbook/ guestbook is required for my wedding so that guests can sign and write their wishes on it but will i keep it in the store after a few years? If this is the case, then it will be a waste of time and effort. Can i add anything else to make it more valuable and interesting? with guests' photos? Hmmm.......
