Seletar Western Food

Posted by: ahjune on: July 4, 2009

When i got cravings for western food, i’ll think of Seletar Western Food that’s near my place =)

IMG_1480a

It’s been around for a long time. From the days when they were @ Seletar Market (but it’s been demolished already) & i’m glad they didn’t move too far away =)

IMG_1484a

Chicken Cutlet! =)  I usually order this & up till now, the taste is still good! The portion is always just nice – from the size of the cutlet, baked beans, fries! I like the fried bun too. It’s just a very simple fried bun but shiok to eat lor.

OMG… I’m getting hungry as i type this entry! Haha.

By the way, do try the Zi Char stall @ this coffee shop if you are dining here. Forgot to take pictures but my grandma tried the claypot noodles & it’s good! She let me tried a bit =)

Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room & Food Anytime

Posted by: ahjune on: July 4, 2009

Got a sms from my dear 4th aunt on my actual bithday & she asked me out for lunch! =)  Yeah… Another lunch treat for my birthday! Thanks “Hua Jie Jie”!! Haha.

Initially i wanted to request to have lunch @ Wild Rocket (been wanting to go ever since i saw it @ Xin Lian’s blog) but my 4th aunt got no car that day. So when she suggest to meet @ either Bishan or AMK, i immediately choose Bishan as there’s something i want to try @ Junction 8 =)

Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room

I’ve walked passed this place before (it’s just opposite Din Tai Fung) & business seems good! Always packed! So i thought maybe can try the food here.

page 3

You guys should try the Pork Chop Baked Rice here! The pork chop is really tender & the overall taste is pretty good. My 4th aunt had this & she let me tried some! =)

My beef hor fun was alright only. The beef slices are good, very tender! But the hor fun got not much gravy leh & taste wise, not much flavour  =_=

After lunch, we walked around & did some shopping @ NTUC. And just to side track a bit.

For those who use Sensodyne toothpaste, they have this bundle pack @ NTUC which consist of 2 toothpaste & you can get this container free (it’s the kind where you can close all 4 sides, sealed tightly). Quite a good deal!

 

Food Anytime

We proceed on to this dessert stall @ the basement after shopping. My 4th aunt told me it’s open by her hubby’s friend.

page 4

My 4th aunt had the almond paste while i has the sesame paste =)  I actually just learnt to appreciate sesame paste & the one over here is quite nice!

I realise i’ve been eating quite a lot due to meet up with friends, family & aunt for my birthday treats/celebrations. It’s nice lah but can feel the fats coming back! Haha.

And there’s more to come. My bestie & i are arranging to celebrate our birthdays together @ Jaan, Swissotel The Stamford. Initial plans was to celebrate mine @ Equinox & her’s @ Jaan. But when i got back from my HK & China trip, i went on a self quarantine & when it’s over, couldn’t fix a neutral date so i thought might as well have a belated one & celebrate together!! =)

And there’s the high tea session with Christina & Li Shee also asked me out for dinner on next fri. And my cousin Xin Lian is back for a short visit & Gladys birthday is coming soon. I can forsee lots of eating going to be involved =)  Hehe. Please don’t let me get any fatter!

Ichiban Sushi

Posted by: ahjune on: July 3, 2009

Another birthday treat & this time it’s from my dear friend Xiuli =)

But before i meet up with her, i went to do my nails first. And i noticed my manicurist changed part of the layout of her nail salon. I find it nice & when i’m done, she offered to help me take a picture! =)

IMG_1457a

Yeah… I’m the queen! It used to be a white long couch & now she changed to this =)  And there’s this nice Audrey Hepburn cushion!

Ichiban Sushi

It’s always great to meet up with my dear friends for a nice meal & do some catching up! This time, Xiuli arranged to have dinner @ AMK Hub.

page 2

Look @ the spread! =)  I’ve always like the set meal @ Ichiban Sushi & it’s really value for money. 

After dinner, we walked around AMK to shop a bit & chit chat. When we are tired, we just stop @ the hawker centre for a cup of sugarcane juice.

IMG_1479a

I wanted to get another Mandi Lulur to try so i took Xiuli to this shop =)  Xiuli was saying if i didn’t bring her here, she most probably won’t walked to this corner of AMK! Haha. Anyway this new one that i’m going to try has whitening + Vitamin E so hopefully can help more with the marks on my legs.

Then there was a pasar malam & we took a look too! Xiuli even bought chicken wings for my mum & grandma to enjoy. I was already very full so i didn’t get anything.

I really enjoy a night out like this & i’m looking forward to more! =)

Happy Birthday Mummy & Happy PaPa Day!

Posted by: ahjune on: July 3, 2009

IMG_1432a

Today is my dear mummy’s birthday & she’s @ Genting with my dad =)

I wish her good health, stay pretty & happy always & win more $$$ in 4D & TOTO!! =)

As for my dad, this Father’s Day came a bit late for some reasons. I came back from my trip around Father’s Day & secondly my dad don’t take much pictures so i had to look through my pictures to look for a nice one.

Just nice i took one with parents during my birthday celebrations =)

So Happy PaPa Day!! =)

I know you tends to have a bad temper @ times but ultimately you are a great dad! Just that maybe asian, we don’t show our feelings openly! Hee.

I also wish you good health & may everything goes smoothly in your business!

I love you PaPa & MaMa!!

Dinner @ Premier Thai With My Family =)

Posted by: ahjune on: July 2, 2009

Another year passed & i’m older by 1 more year! Hee. Usually i will celebrate together with my mother as our birthdays are just a few days apart =)

This year my dad decide to bring us to Premier Thai @ Sembawang Road for dinner.

page 3

Seems like i’ve been enjoying lots of sharks fin lately. Before my trip, during my trip & after i’m back from my trip! Haha. Shiok lah!

By the way, at Premier Thai they have this green chilli sort of sauce which i really like =)  It’s just like Thai Village one. Spicy & it’s goes so well with all the dishes! Usually it makes me sweat but who cares when i’m enjoying it! Haha.

page 1

My dad order the set meal for 6 people. These are the rest of the dishes =)  Pretty good as the food are fresh!

IMG_1427b

The dessert part was good too! I find the yam paste here not too sweet – just nice! I was really enjoying it =)

After dinner, we went home to cut the cake!

IMG_1431a

It was really nice & sweet of my dad to get a cake for me & mummy! Actually our family don’t really have the habit of getting a cake for birthdays but i’m the one who likes it. Hee! Somehow it makes the celebration more complete lah =)

This year my dad decides to get one cause he find the chocolate cake nice (he doesn’t like chocolate) & if i remember correctly, the cake shop is called Dino.

Hmmm… To be honest, i really appreciate my dad’s effort to get the cake but personally i don’t really like the cake! Not the kind of chocolate i would like lah. Haha! But if you are the kind who don’t like your chocolate to be too sweet, maybe can give it a try! =)

IMG_1436a

But overall it was a nice & simple celebration with my family! =)

Finally i’m 29! Lots of sms & msg on Facebook from my dear cousins & friends! Some hope i enjoy my last twenties & get a bf soon! Wahahaha. I’m trying hard lah! Hopefully by next year, i may feature a guy in my blog yah! =)

Mr Curry & Java Dreams Coffee & Roastery @ Central

Posted by: ahjune on: June 28, 2009

As usual, i’ll meet up with Wenhui for our birthday celebration together as it’s just a few days apart =)  Mine is 29th June while her’s is 4th July.

I realise July is a busy month for me when it’s comes to birthdays – Mummy (3rd July), Gladys (19th July) & my bestie Phy (20th July). And also a good friend of mine from ITE Brian (30th July). Hee!

This year we arranged to meet @ Central & her sister Wenya is joining us. Inital plans was to go Liang Court but Wenya & i reach Central first so we end up walking around & Mr Curry sort of caught our attention. It’s actually under Waraku management =)

Wenhui arrived shortly & she likes the place too so we decide to try this place since all of us has never been here before.

page 2

I like the ambience & the decor was very interesting. We actually wanted to take the more inner seats as we all kind of like the background (bottom right picture) but we were told it’s for reservations ={

page 1

Food is pretty good & the price is reasonable too. I had this hamburger steak set which comes with rice & pickles too ($13.80). Curry taste just nice & it’s pretty shiok to enjoy my hamburger with the curry sauce.

IMG_1391b

Look @ the display! This is what got mine & Wenya’s attention. I noticed this restaurant for the first time when i was @ Central in May. Happened to walk passed when i was trying to look for a cake.

If you have HSBC credit card, can get 10% off. OCBC cards can get $10 voucher with min $30 spent (if i remember correctly)

http://www.waraku.com.sg/docs/banner/curry/lnk/CURRY.pdf

By the way, i just went to view the website & you can print a 20% off voucher! Valid till 31st August. Just click on the above link!

The Central #03-84

Tel: 6221 8860

After dinner, we wanted to go to either TCC or Coffee Club for drinks but it’s all packed. I think it was Wenya who suggested to find somewhere in basement & i immediately thought of 1 place!

Java Dreams Coffee & Roastery!

The place was empty when we reached but the whole place is quite ok even though it’s not a big place.

page 3

The drinks & dessert were quite ok. I don’t mind coming back here for a drink & chit chat wiith friends again. It’s located @ a nice quiet corner so it’s good if you want to avoid the crowd.

IMG_1392a

For Wenhui & i, we have the habit of giving presents to each other =)  This year i got her a scented candle from Tangs. Glad she like it!

IMG_1438b

And this is what Wenhui gave me & it’s so lovely! =)  I should sort out some nice pictures with the 2 of us & put it in this photo frame!

Anyway it’s almost 10pm & in another 2 hours, i be officially 29! Hmmm… sounds kind of old! Haha. Looking forward to more celebrations! Had dinner with my family tonight =)  Tuesday i be meeting Xiuli & if nothing goes wrong, i’ll be going to Jaan with my bestie on the 12th =)  This year some of the celebrations had to be delayed cause i just came back from HK & China so initially i try to avoid meeting friends. Must be responsible & play safe lah =)

At TCC With Christina =)

Posted by: ahjune on: June 27, 2009

My friendship with Christina goes all the way back to my studies days @ Thames =)  We were really good friends & got along really well. But after my diploma, i didn’t continue while Christina carried on with her degree.

At some point, we just sort of lost contact. I don’t know why but i guess it just happen when @ a point in life, both of us were busy with our own things & slowly drift apart.

But somehow Christina & i do always think of each other throughout all these years. So when she sms me last week & she happened to got me @ the right moment, we quickly arranged to meet up the next night for dinner =)

IMG_1378a

We met up @ TCC , International Building branch for dinner. When i see her, there was no awkwardness @ all (i was a little tiny bit worried as it’s been about 10 years since i last saw her). We were really happy to see each other & just chatted like those good old days!! =)

I guess why we can get along so well is because our characters & family background are similar + we are the very easy going kind! Hee.

And Christina was really sweet & she still remember my birthday! =)  She wanted to treat me but i insist we just go dutch lah. Morever she even got me a present too & it’s from her own shop.

Do show some support if you like accessories & jewellery!!

http://smithjewellery.blogspot.com/

I just went to view her website & it’s really awesome!! I intend to pay her a visit @ her shop soon. Think i’ll go crazy there!! Haha.

page 1

She made a great choice for the gift!! =)  Love it!! And i was telling her how appropriate the gift was cause i find the round shape to represent a Reunion for the 2 of us.

Anyway it was a great night out with her & time passes real fast when you are enjoying yourself =)  But we are meeting up real soon again as we are going for high tea in July!! I’m so looking forward to it & so is Christina! =)

By the way, if you like the pasta @ TCC, they are currently having a promotion for Citibank cardholders 1 for 1 pasta. But there’s only 3 kinds (Spaghetti De Clam, Shiso Salmon Spaghetti & Basil Pesto Chicken Spaghetti) to choose from & i find it ok as both Christina & i got something we like & it’s good! Not sure when it be ending (i thought i saw 30th June) so do check out Citibank website soon for more details!

Dinner @ Bakerzin

Posted by: ahjune on: June 24, 2009

About 2 days before my trip, i met up with Xiuli for dinner @ Bakerzin, Northpoint. I got this birthday voucher from Lee Hwa & i’m entitle to 15% off for ala carte menu & a free warm chocolate cake.

I usually go for drinks & cakes. I think i only tried their food once but it was so long ago.

IMG_0737a

Before i pick up my phone to call for a cab, i look out of the window. Weather looks fine actually & with my sunglasses, it should be ok if i just walked to the bus stop & take a bus.

And morever i got a straight bus to Yishun. Must save $$$… And i’m glad i did =)  The money i saved goes to my meal!!

My dinner @ Bakerzin

Xiuli & i opt for the All Day Set Menu @ $13.80++ (but no 15% off if u opt for the set meal).

page 3

I had the Teriyaki Chicken Rice while Xiuli had the Ham & Bacon Penne With Cream Sauce. Overall the standard of the food is quite good & i like the ambience @ this outlet. Partly we went on a monday night so not so crowded.

page 4

Luckily i can still get my free Warm Chocolate Cake! It was so yummy!! =)

I can forsee myself coming back for more of the set meals. There’s also the $16.80++ set meals to try.

And for those who like cheesecake, there’s currently 50% off for New York Cheesecake till end of June.
