Sentosa

we to sentosa... tried the chairlift tingy and the luge ride tingy... the chairlift tingy is actually kinda scary...haha... it can go very high lor... and when the wind blows... it sort of swing... and u r just sitting there... no support... nothing! ok.... im just ham chee...

We packed bento lunch there! Bento Lunch Boxes on Sentosa map!

Open up...and tada! Damn nice rite... got cranberries... It looks nice la... but does it really taste nice...? keke (FYI: The Tartar sauce was brought there but nv opened)

The Pink Set: [TOP] - Steamed Chicken Breast with lime juice and assorted veg.
[BOTTOM] - Salad w/o dressing; mini apple strudel

The Blue Set: [TOP] - Macaroni; Hard Boiled Eggs; Roasted Chicken
[BOTTOM] - Bolognese sauce with minced meat and tomato chunks and mushrooms and somemore hard boiled eggs!

This was a great great lunch! Healthy and yummy, who says yummy food must be sinful?

Found a new hangout place at Sentosa, and this place is Cafe Del Mar. A beach Bar/Restaurant at Siloso Beach. After a dipped into the sea, dipped into the warm waters at the pool inside cafe del mar and sip a cuppa kopi-o or milo (if they have). Ordered Yellow Bird cocktail, but dun really like it la... not really a cocktail lover... prefer hard liquor cuz why pay so much for so little alcohol but so much juice... more like paying for the effort of decorating it and shaking the tingy...

How to make your own Yellow Bird? Heres how!

The SoupSpoon

My latest craving... Soup! from the soupspoon... there are still so many soup from soupspoon which i would like to try!

Beef Goulash

Beef! I love beef bcos beef is meat and i love meat bcos meat is protein!! But i expected more beef in the soup, but what was inside was probably6 pieces of beef chunks only... but I guess its a matter of *heng suay* (lucky or unlucky), cuz if the guy happen to scoop more beef then gd for u la... or maybe they do count the number of beef they scoop? do they? hmmm... But whatever it is, its a great soup i must say... alot of chunky stuffs inside... tomatoes, potatoes, beef, capsicum, carrots and many many veggies too small for me to identify!

Herb Chicken Caesar

Add a few more dollars to the soup and you get either full or half sandwich! Tried roast beef wasabi last week, but I still prefer the herb chicken caesar cuz the meat is bigger chunk la... the beef was only a pathetic thin thin slice...

Any recommendations? Beef Stroganoff with Penne? Peppery Chicken Hotpot? Tokyo Chicken Stew? Tangy Tomato with Basil?

City Square JB

This is not exactly in City Square, but its in its vicinity. This Kopi Tiam that is very near to City Square is famous for its Chee Cheong Fun Yong Tau Fu. Very few sg'reans eat in this place bcos it stinks, it stinks of something and it just dun look too pleasant... but just tahan abit... for the sake of good food! THE FAMOUS IPOH ZHU CHANG FEN among the locals!
The Chee Cheong Fun is unique, as it is served with yong tau hu liaos(4). After you choose your liaos(4) already, the towkay will chopped them up, cooked them, and serve them with the Cheong Fun, and served with 2 sauces, curry gravy or sweet sauce... I chose mixed... It might look abit messy, but its really nice, nice not cos its unique, but nice "nice".
4.6 / 5.0

Now inside city square...
went to this cafe called Wong Kok HK cafe... (just realized that SG also have one in Bugis Junction today, therefore this review will be applicable in SG too!)

It was so cold there... heng first came was a hot cup of Almond Tea with Egg White! Strong taste of almond infused with a tinge of tea, mixed with egg whites... wonderful !

2.5 Ham / 5.0 Ham

2.5 Pita / 5.0 Pita

4th dish is the main dish! Seafood Baked Spagetti in twin sauce! The twin sauce refers to Cheese and Tomato sauce... i tink. The thick crusty cheese... so generous of them! thanks! something unique is that they actually add abit of curry powder... first time in my life i ate cheese baked with currry powder, and surprisingly, it goes so well with the cheese and tomato! wonder if the SG outlet also have or is it just M'sia. The fish and Crabstix and was generous man, SG one....? no idea...

Dessert! Last one... Peach Bread Pudding. Usuallu bread pudding, taste like bread, or at least have the texture of bread, and i was expecting some bread-like thingy. But, when i have the first bite, It taste more like Egg Pudding than anything else...even thou so... i still like it! haha. The texture is kinda thick, with a strong peachy taste, and sprinkled with raisins. I really like this "bread" pudding, alot of eggy taste, and as u noe.. i love eggs!
