*~ Packing day ~*

Spent my very nice public holiday at home doing some room cleaning..
changed the bedsheets, cleared the huge stack of letters, and bills and.. *faintz*
walked wang today.. and he sneaked up on this baby husky that just moved into the 1st floor unit across the pool! both me and the other owner chasing 2 doggies across the compound.. *super embarassed!!!* i'm so angry with wangwang now.. :(

Finally, i'm finding some time to blog about our 2 visits to HAN KA RAM at the building Eugene works at. Also cos i was cleaning up my table today, and i finally found the receipt!! hee :$

Nice and cosy place with authentic korean food. Owner is Korean, nice and friendly :)
Food is affordable and comes in nice big portions. Best part is when the bill comes, there is no service charge no GST!




Our first visit (23 Jul)!


*~ very excited abt the food :D ~*


*~ eugene and his ginseng noodle the first time ~*


*~ chicken bibimbap - $10 (i think) ~*

2nd visit (15 Oct) ..


*~ Eugene feeling depressed so i got him a toy ~*


*~ guess what it is :) ~*


*~ chicken deopbap - $11 ~*


*~ ginseng noodle - $10 ~*


*~  dubu kimchi - $15 ~*

this is toooooo goooooood to be true if you love kimchi and tofu and fatty pork~ all 3 in one! BEST! the portion is big enough for 4.. imagine how we stuffed ourselves.. :P



Coincidentally Eugene wore the same shirt both times! hehee~
Great place!! They are open on weekends too! can always call to check if you're worried :)

Dinner @ 红锅 (Bugis Junction)

Ever tried the food at 红锅? I always love to try new stuff and thanks to friends who also do the same that i had to good fortune to try 红锅 at the basement of Bugis Junction (between Crystal Jade & Billy Bombers)

The uniqueness is the food is actually cooked in your boiling hot soup after it is being served. You can also order a few sides to share with friends ;)





*~ the origin ~*


*~ pick the size! ~*


*~ szechuan cold dish: chicken with chilli bean paste~*


*~ century egg ~*


*~ this is how it is served ~*


*~ after everything is thrown into the soup you get this ~*


Another great dinner place thanks to xiaofu!

SP's bday @ KTV


Been ages since we had a KTV session!
Thanks to SP we finally had a nice gathering to celebrate her bday and sing to our hearts' content @ party world liang court!



Got the cheese chiffon cake from Tampopo deli after reading great reviews about it! Really nice! very light! But advice is to order 2 or 3 days in advance if you wanted a different flavour else choices are limited!

#5 Nasi Lemak


Adding to my list of cheap and tasty lunch options in Dhoby Ghaut~



Had originally intended to queue for Mee Siam but the drumstick looked too tempting.. i had to give it a try. For $4 you get a super nice crispy chicken drumstick and an egg with Pandan flavoured rice. Chilli was good too~ Hmm the cucumber looked a little dry I didn't wanna eat it.. :P Could have been sitting there all day.



Well this is definitely worth it! Again @ Plaza Singapura B2 I've spotted another cheap and tasty eat!
Nasi Lemak!

The hazy days~


For about 2 weeks Singapore was affected by the haze caused by the forest fires in Indonesia.. has been a long time since the index went past the unhealthy range...


Taken one morning while going to the mrt and i realised the sun had been heavily "clouded" by haze

Singapore looking terribly yellow and grey.. photos look like they were taken some 20 yrs ago..

#4 Bulgolgi Chicken Rice set

Been super busy and also lazy to blog.. Surprisingly the 3G connection here in orchard sucks.. Took ages to get connected..


Finally my #4 choice! Bulgolgi Chicken rice set priced at $4.50 from Seoul Street Food @ plaza singapura basement 2. Cheap and good! The kimchi tastes authentic. Maybe the Bulgolgi chicken tastes more like Teriyaki chicken but I like it anyhows :)

#3 - Vegetarian food at Kopitiam PS

Might think vege food is not really up to your liking.. but to ur surprise this stall has a bit of tricks up the cook's sleeve~

We might like some meat dishes cos of the way its cooked, the sauce and all.. e.g theres a common dish of steamed fish, tofu with salted veg, they've replaced fish with abalone mushroom. For people that are converting, and if u find urself craving for some meat dish cos I did too, this stall is perfect! Its perfectly fine having the meats replaced with some vege, tofu, mushrooms or mock meats (not too healthy though). At least for me i realised its really the sauces that make the difference.






All in all, this is highly recommended, for brown rice and 3 dishes, its $4.00 with 10% discount if you have the kopitiam card. Also comes with free soup! Soup differs from day to day though :)

What's with the long queues @ KOI??

With some patience, me and dearie queued up for a chance to get the recently crazily popular KOI bubble milk tea. Been seeing queues at every outlet we pass by!

Finally, ok it's great if u like pearls cos they give tons of it! So it's filling! -_- the cup is made of super good quality plastic compared to what u get at each a cup. The straws are wrapped up nicely in more plastic. Well the tea is real tea so if u like some real tea, this is good.

But I'm happy to say, Eskimo is still better for those that have not tried it. Minus the good quality plastics, the tea is great, the pudding milk tea is fantastic! U can also choose ur preferred sugar level. There's only 2 outlets at the moment though, one at dhoby ghaut xchange and another at raffles place market street. :)

Starting a new project to find cheap and nice eats in Orchard.
