<span style="color: lime; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, we are going to say goodbye to Year 2013 and welcoming a brand New Year next week! Gosh, this year is really passing fast ~ Perhaps I am extremely busy with lotsa stuff and that's why I find it hard to believe it's already year end. It also means that I will be a year older in a couple of months ~ sob sob T____T </span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's unbelieving that Chinese New Year (CNY) just over so fast and 1st quarter of the Year 2013 is here! It passed so fast till I could not catch my breath and I am now down with fever and bad cough. Ok Ok I know you won't believe me! I confessed that it was actually the sumptuous CNY feasts and delicious goodies that I could not resist and ate so much. Haha! I had about 7 or 8 Lou Hei this year and hoping good luck is with me but I never get to strike any lottery leh.... T_____T sob sob! LOL ^0^</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: orange;">Here are the photos posted my Lou Hei and my first time visit at the plant nursery during CNY. Just in case for any foreign friends popping by my blog, Lou Hei means prosperity toss or yu sheng in chinese. It's like salad with raw fish slices (can use salmon, xi dao yu (if I'm not wrong, the fish name in english is wolf herring) or even abalone) and colorful shredded radish/carrot and other condiments. The dressing is plum sauce.</span> </span></div>

I have tried out the popular Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes recipe today. It's quite a simple bake and the cake texture turns out soft. I have omitted piping the cream into the cakes and just eat it plain. Yummy to go with my cuppa Kopi C ^_^</div>

It's my first time making the dumplings with the help of my dear colleagues. Quite a tedious process as we need to shop for the ingredients, wash/cut, marinate and fry the ingredients. Next challenging and tiring process is the way of wrapping the dumplings. I just cannot grab it well and wrap tightly. However, after a few try and watching my colleague did the wrapping, I manage to do it but not nicely wrapped thou'. But at least I tried and have fun in doing it. All of us have enjoyed the day and tasting our handmade dumplings ^.^</div>

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Recently, I registered for the puff pastries baking class with </strong></span><a href="http://www.bakincalf.com/2012/02/puff-pastry-new.html"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>BakinCalf</strong></span></a><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> . The recipes are quite easy but the folding process of the dough with margarine can be tedious and challenging. The rolling process and thickness of the dough must take note correctly. Overall, it was an enjoyable class and the puff pastries turned out nicely baked and delicious ^.~</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Over a weekend afternoon, we went to explore a nice, cozy, homely dining place with vintage interior design and furnishings which located at Changi, Netheravon Road. To me, it was a secluded place and inconvenient. Therefore, I'm thankful to my colleague's hubby who drove us there ^.~. From my photos below, you could see how wonderfully are their restaurant/cafe/bar settings ~ like it to the max! It's a great place to relax or chill out with your friends or family ~ avoiding the crowds in town. </span></div>

So we ended up ordering so much food and finished up ALL! Bravo! Overall, their food was decent and delicious. Pizza was our fav.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my favorite supermarket place in town is Meiyi-da @ Liang Court Shopping Centre where you can easily get imported Japanese groceries and at times, they hold Japan Food Fairs too. I also like to patronize the Japanese restaurants and deli there ~ such as Tampopo where they serve delicious tonkatsu and kurobuta ramen. Oh their desserts such as Mont Blanc, Scoop Cake, Cream Puff are so yummy. Well, I just have a piece of their scoop cake for afternoon tea today. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In celebration of the Chinese New Year, it is traditionally that we will have our LO HEI (捞起) or prosperity toss. It is a colorful dish with raw fish slices, mixed shredded of vegetables, other condiments and sauces. As what the old folks say, the more Lo Hei that you have eaten, it brings more prosperity and abundance of good luck, health and weath to you. I hope that I get to have more Lo Hei this year.<img _prototypeuid="5" alt="thumbs up" class="media" galleryimg="no" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss73/SASincrement/Animated/happy-smiley-8810.gif" style="height: 17px; width: 39px;" /> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My celebration of the Christmas and New Year was just over last December. Now I am looking forward to welcome the next festive season which is the Chinese New Year (CNY). As always, I am eager to taste all the CNY goodies that I ordered and received from my friends. To avoid myself from getting sore throat and ulcers, I have started to drink 凉茶 (herbal tea) and aloe vera drink to cool off the heatiness after consuming so much of the CNY cookies ^.~</span></div>

This is a packet of BBQ sliced pork (Bak Kwa) from a gift hamper given to our dept. The bak kwa is in vaccum-packed and instructions given either to place it in a bowl of hot water to warm it up before eating OR microwave the packet (we used this method as it is tastier. Just microwave it for 20mins). It's fun to microwave the packet of bak kwa as it blows up like a big bubble. We thought it will explode. But when you remove it from the oven, the packet flattens. However, I still prefer to buy those freshly BBQ at the stalls rather than the vaccum packed bak kwa.</div>

We had our lunch at </span><a href="http://www.brusselssprouts.com.sg/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brussels Sprouts</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, Robertson Quay. It was a cosy Belgian bar and bistro where you could choose to dine inside the restaurant or alfresco dining. That day, the weather was hot and sunny; and there was no aircon in the restaurant but luckily, we had our icy cold Hoegaarden and root beer to quench our thirst and made us feel cooler</span><img _prototypeuid="5" alt="" class="media" galleryimg="no" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww321/Jathanis/Smileys/drinking-smiley-14.gif" style="height: 21px; width: 59px;" /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Prawn (Hei Chor) and liver rolls. Crispy and tasty. Apparently their liver rolls are one of most popular dish.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My all time favorite ~ Fish Maw Soup. This was a last minute order as we were hesitating if we could finish eating all the food. But we just went ahead ^.~ This was one of the best that I had tried so far ~ generous ingredients as you could see in the photo and it's very tasty. If the fish maws were not fresh, there would be a fishy smell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steamed Promfret in Teochew Style. Personally I like to eat fish that's cooked in any style so this is another healthy and yummy dish. Thou' it may cost a bit for this dish but I would not mind to pay if it came out fresh and well cooked.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are also other of their signature Teochew dishes like Oyster Omelette, Cold Crabs, Braised Duck and Yam Paste (Or Nee) which I will like to try next time.</span></div>

I have been eating Japanese food for 3 times this week and I am still not sick of it<img _prototypeuid="5" alt="Eating" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="342" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx198/SherylLPim/Smilies/smiley-eatdrink022-1.gif" style="height: 18px; width: 21px;" width="400" /> It was a pre-X'mas dinner with my colleagues at <span id="goog_699663595"></span><a href="http://www.irodorijapaneserestaurant.com.sg/">Irodori</a> and we had a-la-carte dinner buffet. There were over 100 dishes in their menu and eat-all-you-can <img _prototypeuid="5" alt="Simley w/Sushi 3" class="media" galleryimg="no" height="200" id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s147/gerberdaisy1980/Sushi/36_13_9.gif" style="height: 66px; width: 66px;" width="200" />I find that the food quality is comparatively as good as Shin Minori and the price is affordable too. I realized in both restuarants that the desserts were not included in their menu. It's quite disappointed and hopefully that they could include desserts like matcha/goma ice-cream, puddings or even strawberry shortcakes in their menu <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/smiley%20ice%20cream/ChrissyP24/icecream.gif?o=14"><img class="over off" galleryimg="no" src="http://th111.photobucket.com/albums/n133/ChrissyP24/th_icecream.gif" style="height: 37px; width: 31px;" /></a> </div>

Don't get cheated by the look of this dish ~ Green Tea Rice. It tasted neither blend nor bitter. It's actually quite tasty except a little salty. Somehow I think the soup was made from chicken or pork broth mixed with green tea. Luckily, I just ordered a bowl to try as the rest were not particularly enjoyed this rice.</div>

I wished it would be a bright and sunny day. Unfortunately, the sky was rather dark and cloudy; and a heavy downpour would be coming up. Indeed! Just as we steppped into the hotel lobby, it started to rain outside. Phew!<br /><br /><div align="justify"></div></div><br /><br /><div align="justify">The afternoon tea started at 12noon till 5pm. There were only 1 table occupied. It might be due to the wet weather which not many people come for tea that day. Well, the lounge was cozy and quiet. The friendly staff brought us to our sofa seats at a corner where we could chat (gossip) privately ^.~<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify">We had ordered 2 tea sets. As for the beverage (tea/coffee/chocolate) menu, we could choose only 2 types of beverage and it's free flow. While waiting for our 3-tier tea sets to be served, I took a few shots of the lounge and our table setting.</div><br /><br /><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 258px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 329px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679166651975920834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yu4KIt8LGck/TtBz-v9E7MI/AAAAAAAAB2U/L9rsnDIEdIw/s320/1.JPG" />That was what where the staff brought the tea sets out.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679166644499095282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uS5dR8yS1zA/TtBz-UGdnvI/AAAAAAAAB2I/kH3G1iQotoY/s320/2.JPG" />English style of table setting.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679165474823694274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x39zAjPgwdQ/TtBy6OuHZ8I/AAAAAAAAB1w/qKldrvxkbzQ/s320/3.JPG" /><br />We were first served with the finger sandwiches with egg mayo, smoked salmon & chicken fillings.

(o^^o)<br />I always love macarons and their lovely colors. Our macarons were in one of my fav color ~ Pink. The rest of the delicious desserts include cheesecake, choc cake, choc mousse, raspberry cocconut delice; curd tart and a piece of choc praline.</p><br /><br /><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 331px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679548950851241010" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ckffdZHFyhQ/TtHPrePuRDI/AAAAAAAAB2g/QgTCAVMc0IY/s320/10.JPG" /></p><br /><br /><p align="center">In all, I'm satisfied with my English afternoon tea set.

The store is selling all baking products such as baking molds, wares, ingredients, cake decorations and many more. As I had only a short time to spend in the store, I just browsed for the stuff which I was looking to buy. In the end, I grabbed 2 sets of muffin cups, a block of chocolate, heart shaped chocolate mold and Christmas cookie cutters. The muffin cups and cookie cutters are meant for my next baking session with my friend ^.~ As for the chocolate molds, I was going to try out on making chocolates with apricot fillings for the very first time. It seems easy thou' :) </span></span><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667635111355240274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iH-p9VXfd9o/Tqd8GvjcT1I/AAAAAAAABrA/gLbrqTkl02I/s320/photo_1.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center">I <span style="color:#330000;">bought a small block of chocolate which was just </span><span style="color:#330000;">enough</span><span style="color:#330000;"> for making 15 pieces of heart shape chocolates. </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TJiCjBLLIg8/Tqd8Gi2l2rI/AAAAAAAABq0/KQ5S-hOL548/s1600/photo_2.JPG"></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667635107945896626" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TJiCjBLLIg8/Tqd8Gi2l2rI/AAAAAAAABq0/KQ5S-hOL548/s320/photo_2.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#330000;">The chocolate should melt in a slow heat in a double boiler which consist of a bowl fits in a saucepan.

There are so many dishes that you can choose to cook in your hot pot plus those yummy dipping sauces which make your food more flavorful. So far, my friends and I usually patronise Ting Heng Seafood Restaurant @Tiong Poh Road and The Magic of ChongQing Hotpot @Tanglin Shopping Centre. These 2 restaurants serve very good broths, dipping sauces, wide varieties of fresh food for your hotpot as well as a-la-carte side dishes.<br /><br />Recently, I went to Imperial Treasure Steamboat Restaurant @TripleOne Somerset which I heard from ex-colleague commented it was good but rather expensive. Anyway, I asked L to join me since she also likes steamboat. Of course, I warned her about this pricey meal before we went to Imperial Treasure Steamboat ^.~<br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666639309640217058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--okOPRoySuI/TqPybdFeseI/AAAAAAAABpg/SW8of9smz8Y/s320/photo%2B1.JPG" /><br /><br /><p align="center">There are 12 dipping sauces for you to mix. I always like white sesame/peanut sauce mixed with the dried chilli paste.<br /><br /></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666639918220005650" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D3Q0sIwKr68/TqPy-4ONURI/AAAAAAAABps/nx6NmA1B9w0/s320/soup%2Bbase.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center">L likes the hot and spicy broth ~ Ma La. For me, I like to try a different broth instead of the usual herbal chicken broth ~ Century Egg with Corriander (non-spicy). I had tried this broth in my previous trip to Hong Kong. Initially I doubted that I would like it because I just didn't like corriander but once I tried the soup, the corrianders gave a pleasant aroma taste to the soup which I could accept it.

We halt a cab and proceed to Nanjya Monjya for their famous authentic okonomiyaki and Monjya-yaki. The restaurant only opens from evening 5.30pm till 12am. Remember to make reservation as the restaurant is always full. Beside indoor seats, you can choose to take the outdoor terrace seats which is facing the river bank.</p><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FsReAnFVN68/TqANEl1w6CI/AAAAAAAABnk/704OyCd3a9I/s1600/Okonomiyaki1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 273px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665542703760336930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FsReAnFVN68/TqANEl1w6CI/AAAAAAAABnk/704OyCd3a9I/s320/Okonomiyaki1.JPG" /></a> As we all are not very good at cooking, we better leave the task to the waitress to help us on cooking the okonomiyaki.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J6pbiA7ZJlw/TqANEayjf9I/AAAAAAAABnc/mOIqPBmJhaI/s1600/Okonomiyaki2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 223px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665542700794085330" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J6pbiA7ZJlw/TqANEayjf9I/AAAAAAAABnc/mOIqPBmJhaI/s320/Okonomiyaki2.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I've requested to add mochi into our okonomiyaki<br />~ just like those that I had eaten in Tokyo ~ chewy!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mwAjdVUhRT4/TqANENE78vI/AAAAAAAABnM/kKxhJ9HJrXI/s1600/okonomiyaki%2B3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665542697113088754" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mwAjdVUhRT4/TqANENE78vI/AAAAAAAABnM/kKxhJ9HJrXI/s320/okonomiyaki%2B3.JPG" /></a><br />Ta-Tah!

Apparently, it seems to work for my gal frenz. Anyway, we went to NEX party world KTV for a happy 3-hours of singing. It was a fun singing session ~ I tend to enjoy more of my bubble milk tea drink and snacks hehe!<br /><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QEo9CwkobOo/Tohnsro6SwI/AAAAAAAABj4/l6M0Og_exfI/s1600/Party%2BWorld%2Bktv.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658886949117250306" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QEo9CwkobOo/Tohnsro6SwI/AAAAAAAABj4/l6M0Og_exfI/s320/Party%2BWorld%2Bktv.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center"></a><br />Here's a pair of hands for giving applause and cheering the "singer"<br /><br /><div align="justify"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vbuhCb-db-8/Tohnnc2b_RI/AAAAAAAABjw/V8TvRqnr7b4/s1600/photo%2B2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 279px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658886859248106770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vbuhCb-db-8/Tohnnc2b_RI/AAAAAAAABjw/V8TvRqnr7b4/s320/photo%2B2.JPG" /></a><br />While waiting for us to come out from washroom, my friend Lyn was attracted to the plush toy~ Angrybird at the game arcade. It was in the toy machine which required a claw to pick it up. She was so determined to get the Angrybird and paid to play the game. It was just less than 3 try and she picked up the toy easily. The passers-by got a shock as we shouted out happily when Lyn got the toy. I also paid to play a few rounds to pick up other toys but unfortunately, the claw did not manage to grab the toys as they were too soft to hold. Nevertheless, it was fun.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pp6m-21ioX0/TohnnC7w10I/AAAAAAAABjo/-lxOhc2xPms/s1600/scenery.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658886852291123010" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pp6m-21ioX0/TohnnC7w10I/AAAAAAAABjo/-lxOhc2xPms/s320/scenery.JPG" /></a><br />Thereafter, we went to Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant at Punggol Promenade Riverwalk to have our dinner. It was rather a new place for us to explore as it was far away from central. I personally like the restaurant facing the green and river view; enjoying the breeze while having a good dinner meal.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QSoigZ8BQhY/TohnmyKtNNI/AAAAAAAABjg/I8DmC9Q7DGk/s1600/photo%2B3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 246px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658886847790396626" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QSoigZ8BQhY/TohnmyKtNNI/AAAAAAAABjg/I8DmC9Q7DGk/s320/photo%2B3.JPG" /></a><br />See Angrybird was waiting patiently for its meal.

Beside Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant, there are other eateries like popeye Louisiana fast food, Frienzies Bistro and Bar, and Xi'an Seafood Restaurant and Bar. There is also a prawn pond where you can try prawn fishing.<br /><br />Since we had come all the way to Punggol, we decided to chill out at Frienzie Bistro and Bar. As it was a weekend so the place was rather crowded. We waited for about 15 minutes to get our seats. The restaurant has a nice cool ambience which it is perfectly for group and family gatherings. Moreover, the staff are friendly and service is great. We ordered a bottle of white wine and nacho chips ~ in addition, the staff recommended their choya ume mojito ~ Now, I'm addicted to this mix.<br />I like the refreshing and not very strong alcoholic taste.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TWvlrcvlLc/TohnXYM2PEI/AAAAAAAABio/Of0Q9-tmgw8/s1600/ume%2Bchoya%2Bmojito.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658886583122017346" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TWvlrcvlLc/TohnXYM2PEI/AAAAAAAABio/Of0Q9-tmgw8/s320/ume%2Bchoya%2Bmojito.JPG" /></a><br /><br />It was indeed a relaxing day. We had so much fun and would like to visit Punggol Riverside Walk again. Hmm, perhaps we can also try kite flying at Punggol vacant field.</div><br /></div></div>Kaimono888http://www.blogger.com/profile/14192922111965423197noreply@blogger.com0
