Chicken Ala-Carte

This is one of the reasons why i have a heart to do volunteer or mission work in 3rd world countries.
These people live in poverty and hunger, yet they carry a smile on their face and do not give up on their life.
The heart wrench that i feel makes me want to love them even more and let them feel greater joy by knowing God and experiencing his love.
This video is a knowing and reminder of reality.


It is good to be reminded now and again…our children shd know how fortunate they are. The hundreds of thousands who live in poverty.

FRiDay SuPper CluB- SeranGoon Gardens

Heyz! Its Friday! which means it's time for..... FRIDAY SUPPER CLUB!!!
Friday supper clubbies attendance today:
Yyn, Kara, Desmond & Ezen

1st Stop - Serangoon Garden Food Centre
We Ordered:
  • Pan Fried Dumpling (Guo Tie)
  • Stewed Rice with Beef (a.k.a Beef Mui Fan, pls refer to story below)
  • Satay Satay
  • Mee Pok
  • Laksa
  • Fried Hokkien Mee
  • La La (complete rip off!)

    Beef Mui Fan- the story goes like this...
    Their last food item on the menu says: "stewed Rice with Beef"
    They did not display any pictures of their food at all..
    Thinking that Stewed rice is the dark coloured rice (like beef stew colour and taste) i interpreted the dish to be that way with slices of beef on the top.
    Interesting~ i thought to myself. So i had a urge to try it out!
    I told the mandarin speaking auntie "Stewed Rice with Beef"
    auntie: "ah, Beef Mui Fan ah?!"
    Me : (caught by surprise) Ah?! oh... orh.. ok?"








2nd Stop-> Dessert Bowl!!!







Kara in action and all hyped at trying out her new professional camera lenses

Chillz..

Haji lane.
Interesting, Diverse, Unique, Arty..
I Walked along Haji lane, exploring designer boutiques, and letting my eyes pleasure on the wall drawings where some call them as Vandalism, but i term it as an expression of free thoughts and an art form.



Didn't go there specially to take shoots and further more, it was very dark and lighting was really poor. The pictures turned out really blur. Will venture there again some other day ;)

This beautiful cat was at the glass plane door of a boutique. Bet she's a classy and jazzy lady.
My mind drifted for a moment... If only.... I was a cat....
I guess, being a Boutique cat in Haji Lane ain't an ounce bad at all!.... not forgetting the many Malay stalls nearby that would toss a Ikan Kuning whenever i touch their soft spot with a Purrr..



Jazz, smooth, relaxing.
Blu jazz cafe, a hidden gem which we discovered together over over a year back, now becoming a hang-out spot which we term as exclusively our 老地方.




Buds for 5 years!
Haha we were catching up and chatting when my friend Ping commented that she literally saw me Grow up!
Quite true i must say.. We knew each other when i was 17, im 22 now.
Oh boy does time flies..

FriDay SupPer Club -> Bakerzin, Udders

Heyz! Its Friday! which means it's time for..... FRIDAY SUPPER CLUB!!!
Friday supper clubbies attendance today:
Jaime, Yyn & Ezen
What is YOUR Cup Size?
Cup A, Cup B, or Cup C?
Such a Blatant question was posted by a well established renowed entity; Bakerzin
It was their latest promotional Gig which really amuses many.
Their cupcakes, featuring 6 different flavours are priced @ $2.50 each.
We each ordered a cup.


My Raspberry chocolate cupcake reminds me of pink panther.
Pink but not the least shy.
Beneath it is the Dark coloured and moist chocolate which fills your taste buds with the chocolatey goodness.


Rose passionfruit, Jaime's



Carrot Cake with Lemon Cream, Ezen's


Once it starts, it just keeps rolling.
After the snapping of the above, we very getting in a Photo whore mood (In Jaime's term)

-->Jaime's successful rendition of the little boy with cupcake on hand.


Whilst my rendition of the little chef gal was an awkward failure

And starring Ezen as Dumbo the Elephant



As we departed from Bakerzin,
We were infected with the virus called "craving for UDDERS"
We sprawl for the Vaccine " Tiramisu, Orange-Choc & Choya Lime ice-cream"


and were healed of our craving virus!


The Choya lime is their new flavour, which we all really enjoyed.
It has a slimy jello texture which melts in your mouth. The taste is simply refreshing~! if i had no budget constraints, i will be sure to get a Pint of it home!

Lady Addy



Paulaner Muchen, German with a Flare of Smooth Acoustic live band, accompanied by Bratwurst, Rosti, Pork Knuckle under a 2 story Haus.
We gathered for a feast and celebration, Counting down the last few hours before our Lady Addy embarks on the next phrase of Womenhood.


The brick tiled stairway leads us into a realm of old-town sentiment



a German art tradition of Hand Crafted wooden ornaments, is used to lay the decoration platform for the restaurant.
This Reminds me of my German hand-crafted musical box and
Plane Carousal which are members of my Home Collection.

Anyways, back to the topic..
We toasted well wishes

with Beer

Brewed in house by Paulaner

accompanied with the delectable Mushroom cream sauce drizzled Rosti
