Kuriya Raffles City

We had food tasting last Sunday at Kuriya Raffles City. It's a new concept restaurant and consider casual dining as well.

I had invited Jaime's bf, James to the lunch brunch. It so coincidence that he came back to Singapore for conference.

Random photos taken during the lunch brunch. I do not have camera yet therefore i have no much photos taken.

Random group photos:-

Cute Skyler.He is a very cool boy and he forgotten about me dy!I need to spent more time talking to him only he start to cling on me.haha!!Cute boy!!

Stew Chicken..very cheesy taste

Juicy & tender wagyu set. We had 2 orders for the beef because it's simply delicious!!

Cod fish with assorted ingredients and sauce

Sashimi set which includes fresh salmon,maguro,mekajiki,hamachi and amaebi.The set comes with miso soup and chawanmushi as well

Hamachi Sashimi...

Sweet hotate kabashira-scallop sashimi. Very gorgeous presentation and we had a 'WOW' when the service staff served the dish

Random dishes

Assorted vegetables kaminabe set

Desserts which mainly has matcha ice-cream & mochi & peanut crushed in it...

Matcha ice-cream with assorted fruits

Cream Crepe with mango puree to go with it...

We wanted to try the grilled ice-cream but ended up we have no chance to try. The staff feedbacked that they unable to make the ice-cream because easily melted and cannot be grilled unless the ice-cream is still in good condition. I think i will need to make another trip down to try the grilled ice-cream.

Some of the colleagues managed to try it. They commented it's very nice and special!!!!Arghhh...craving for it now!!

JB 2Days 1Nite Trip

It was a tiring and fun weekend. I spent the whole Saturday and Sunday ‘jalan-jalan cari makan’ with my colleagues. They joined me at JB after their work and we met up at jusco.
Then we drove to seafood restaurant somewhere in JB. Luckily one of the colleague’s husband knows the way and we get to enjoy seafood feast.

The place is kinda remote and we need to pass by the residential area to reach the place. But surprisely Singaporeans also know their way to this place. The orang asli restaurant. The restaurant is flooded with people. There is 3 restaurants attached together at the same location but the Todak restaurant has the best biz of all. I guess because the price is reasonable and food is delicious??

The entrance to the restaurant

The view of restaurant surrounding.Opposite of the restaurant is the Sembawang shipyard. That's the information input by my colleague.

Pretending to be F4?

Sunset view. It was around 6plus when we reached there..

Random shots of the seafoods they display for customers to choose...

Different type of fishes with different types of pricing as well...

The foods that we ordered that day. The total damaged for the dinner is RM267 for 7pax. Isn't it worth it? We have 5types of seafoods.

The vegetable dish is not worth it. It costs us RM16.00 per plate. So next time anyone wanna go for seafood, dun ever order vegetables. It's not worth it. But the mantou (bun) is super nice.We ordered 2 plates. Each bun costs RM0.80/pc which is cheaper than a plate of plain rice which costs us RM1.00/plate. I think the bun will give u more satisfaction than the plain rice.This is because the bun goes well with the special prawn curry gravy. Thumbs up for this!!

My colleague with her husband enjoying the salted eggs cooked crab

We even need the special gear to crack the crab shell..It's very bulky gear and traditional on.e But it's very useful coz we need to crack many crab shells to enjoy the meats.hehe!

After the dinner, they(the colleagues) took a picture before we left the place to next destination.

The night is still young so we decided to head to Danga Bay.Too bad it's drizzling and nothing much we can see.Anyway, we took a pic here as shown below.

I adores the picture below..The carousel aka merry go round so beautiful!!!

The lightings and everything seems so perfect. I like this shot and it's like very magical carousel. It would be nice to take couple photo here. haha!I remember my fren's sis wedding photo shoots was taken here as well. The effect is extremely beautiful!!!

Random shot of the yatch at danga bay

We had a short walk around the place and settle down yam cha nearby.We headad back my house and stayover to continue the journey next day...

*****************************************************************

We woke up quite early the next day. Around 7.30-8am. Then we headed to KT for BAK KUT TEH. My fren's shop towards Mersing road. It has been quite a while since i last visited. I think 1-2 years ago.haha!

Slight jam towards KT early morning but we still enjoyed the journey.Awaits patiently to arrive the destination for good foods.

Finally after an hour drive, we reached the place and it’s crowded with people as usual.

Everyone is very busy with the orders and serving etc. They even start to have a system already. They even have table no display on each table. We ordered the specialty there and everyone enjoyed the food. The soup base is nice.

Guess how much is the total damage for 8pax? It's only RM68.00 for everything!

We swiped everything in 30mins!!

After the sumptuous breakfast, we headed to Waterfall Kota Tinggi. This is super costly. I still remember that i do not need to pay money to go in at all when i was in Secondary school.hahaIt was like 10 years ago?haha!

The entrance fees cost RM7.50/per pax for Malaysia citizen and RM10.00/per pax for foreigner. They even charged per car RM5.00/per entry. Crazy rite?So expensive and the facilities are still the same old version and no improvement at all.

But...we still spend the money to go in

Everyone get set to get wet and dirty!!

Random shots of the waterfall

Everyone with the peace sign.

I was the photographer on that day. I did not get wet and cannot get wet also :( So,i took shots for them when they get wet...

Heading towards another waterfall at the top hill...

Slippery rock staircase

Many malays youngsters especially couples love to come to waterfall. They also love to picnic here.I can see some of the malay familys brought their foods along and set up the place to enjoy...

Just a pic to show the entrance ticket which costs us RM7.50 + RM5.00 per car entry.lolz

After 2hrs spent at waterfall, we headed for our lunch. We went for the famous dry noodle shop at Kota Tinggi. I think all KT ppl knows where this place. hehe!

Luckily they like the taste of the noodle. The noodles are all hand made noodle and taste tasty.This plate of noodle costs us RM3.50/per plate.

After the lunch, we hurriedly went to the cendol stall nearby. It is very famous in KT also.haha!Everyone is waiting for their orders patiently.

The cendol was recommended in JB forum talk as well. My colleague shared the information with us. Haha! I didn’t even know the cendol was so famous and Singaporeans come here to try the cendol. We met 2old couples from Singapore.
They had 2 bowls if cendols on the spot. They love it so much.haha! A bowl of cendol with red bean + gula Melaka cost RM1.50. Doesn’t it worth it?

Total spent for 2 days around RM60.00 per pax. We had many foods and everyone enjoyed the fun although we are exhausted.

We headed back Singapore together around 5plus on Sunday. It was great company and we hope can go for next short trip again :)

Mission accomplished!!

I haven’t been so active in updating my blog recently. My fren mentioned that no point updating my blog coz nobody will bother as well. I feel a bit sad when he told me tat. Anyway, he is too straight dy “_____”lll

Many things running in my mind now. I’m a kind of person who thinks a lot and many ‘why’ in my mind. Why this? Why that? Why?Why? That’s why my fren said I’m a problematic person. So many why’s til they don’t know how to answer me.So might as well ignore my Qs as well.

Jz wanna grumble a bit here and there coz no place for me to vent it out. I need a beach for me to shout out loud and scream loudly to release out. I need a space for breathing.i gonna out of breath soon.

I had a fren sharing her thoughts with me recently which i think it does makes a bit sense to me.

The word distance is not when you know the person standing right in front of you but his/her soul is not here with you. It’s the distance of your mind and action. Does it make sense to you? People tend to think of doing this and that but no action is taken. It’s easy to think of it but to execute it is really very hard. Thus, the phrase of ‘action speaks louder than words’ comes into the picture. I’m telling myself this as well.

Enough of the grumbling and nonsense here. Just don’t be fickle minded again

Tioman Trip

This post is suppose to post up after my Tioman trip which was end of August. Anyway, here is my late post for the trip.Just a random photos out of 500plus photos.We did many crazy things throughout the trip.It's a gathering for G29. We had great fun for the 3 days and i miss the beach!!

We arrived at one of the pulau jetty. See the difference?It's totally different from city.People there is much more slower pace than city ppl. Everyone is so relax there...

Secret Garden v Secret Gathering

I was in KL last Sunday and Monday. Sent my sis back to KL as her hew semester starting the next day. Luckily SSC is kind enough to drove us there. We went to meet up with our besties and frens for short gathering at one Utama and hang around at her house. We had chit chatting updating each others.

Ju recommended us the Secret Garden restaurant in One Utama which apparently the designs are quite alike as FULLHOUSE which i seen in my frens photo. The concept is similiar the same but then it has the secret garden storyline base there. Somehow i feel so..maybe i too imaginative dy.

This restaurant has a pianist.Hehe!He has very great talent playing all the songs and make the whole ambience very different..

Random photos of the restaurant. One portion of the restaurant..

We had a joke of the day. Ju keep telling us tat eat fresh oyster will get 'high'. I don't really understand wat is she referring until her husband explained to us.haha!

We have SSC and Hock Thiam here

Luckily we have Ju's husband who is kind enough to be our camera man.We finally have the decent group photo outside the restaurant entrance...

One isn't enough so we took another one..

And...again...

And more..

After the dinner, we headed to Ju's house for chit chatting til Rui reached. Then we headed to Murni for yam cha session.

Mama Ju didn't join us for the yam cha session. She need to wake up early the next day to work and most importantly she is pregnant. Pregnant mum need to take extra rest...

Anyway, she took a picture with the belated present shared by SSC and me. We bought the cloth diaper for her. Hope she loves it.She even took the picture and post at FB. And i stole from her there to upload here to share.hehe!!

Didn't bring camera to KL or anywhere coz my sis took it to Ukraine and i feel so handicapped...

I wish to have my very own camera!!!

Farewell Dinner Cum B'day Celebration

Dinner was held on last Wednesday @ Grassroot Club located near to Yio Chu Kang MRT. The name of the restaurant : Imperial Court (Gim Tim Restaurant)

It is quite successful coz we have 20ppl attending the dinner. We managed to book the VIP room that has KTV Session as well..

So 20ppl is divided to 2 table in order to fit everyone...

Dinner started at 7pm and we ordered 2 Set menu for 10pax that cost us SGD398++ exclusive of the drink charges. The food there is not bad and consider above average. We love the taste of the chicken. It's simply delicious..

The set menu include dessert and the dessert of the day is red bean with lotus soup. The lotus is quite strong taste but luckily it blends well with the red bean. Most importantly, it served hot and i enjoyed it :)
