October 08 updates:

My dear and i love to explore new places and try new food! Our food journey continues..:)

We went to Jang Won Korean Restaurant at Mosque St! My another love other than Dim sum is definitely Korean food!!

[We were served all these side dishes before our meals]-psst..they are really nice and refillable![My bibimbap!] - very nicee!!!!! [Dear's chicken!]- nice too!!

17th Month Anniversary:

This time, we went to Sakura International Buffet @ Orchard!

We remembered to take more pics of our food this time round! Food spread wasnt really impressive. Their seafood items are normal, not very fresh. There are many sushis but i hardly eat them.

[The fish is very nice but very filling too!]

[Nice juicy beef!]

The dessert spread was disappointing =( There were only a few types of miniature cakes, durian puff, mochi and many many packet puddings which i found them quite cheapskate. haha.

Wanted to try Indonesian food thus dear and i went to this Surabaya Restaurant @ Far East Plaza. The food wasnt very nice; kinda weird. Maybe it doesnt suit our taste. The chili is super spicy! Thats what indonesian restaurant are famous for i supposed!

In Chinatown- We found this little noodle shop along the stretch of foodstalls @ Smith Street. Went in to settle my craving for Steamed Dumplings! Oh yea; i had a new hair cut too! By Kelvin from Anthony's Hair Salon @ Centrepoint. He was previously from Maison Hairmake @ Far East Plaza and very much raved in Flowerpod forum. I would say his skills are really good and he is very detailed! Nevertheless; my bangs looks really toot in the beginning..but it gets better when its longer (:

[Smile!!]

[Szechuan vege tang hoon]- nice and authentic

[Almond paste i love so much!]

[Nice juicy dumplings!!!]

We had dinner @ Adam Road's food market one day! Not bad !

Followed by the famous Ice cream Mudpie i've long wanted to try @ Island Cremery located @ Serene centre; walking distance from Adam food market!- not bad at all! --

Botak jones @ Bukit Batok! [What a big portion of Fish and Chips!- i loveee their fries!!]

[Black pepper chicken with mexican rice]- the rice taste weird. their cajun chicken is better than this!haa. --
Theres this place @ Suntec city(near the fountain area) that provide set meals with free flow of ice cream and beverages which i really like for their simple dishes which taste like homecook food! Theres another outlet @ Dhoby Xchange! The pricings are relatively cheap too.

[Love the dumplings- big portion they served as u see!Each meal is served with rice, soup and specially marinated cabbage-kimchi like]

[Teriyaki chicken set!-nt bad!]

[Look at my pretty fake nails!]

[My outfit tat night- super bling bling yea!]

18th Month Anniversary:

Its our 1.5 year Anniversary! Our next big day to our 1 year Anni! We'd planned to take neoprints on every half yearly anni and so we did it today! haha. Neoprints are memorable keepsake! We are still nt too old for them =p They are really expensive now! $11 per usage of the machine! I love decorating the prints and the flawless-look the lightings give.hee.

[Camwhore 1st]

Because we were so hungry and also ran out of ideas of special place to go; we settled for steamboat @ Chuan Yi Pin opposite Bugis Junction!I'd went there numerous times before.

[Their sliced meat are super fresh and tasty!- they sliced it on the spot for u!]

[Hungry and happy!]

[Pinky dear!haha] --

Met up with ling, yun and the guys for steamboat at Da Chang Jing Steamboat @ Arab Street area. Food selection quite limited; but the pork is nice. Worth a try. [Me, ling and Yun]--
