Sister Bonding

Sister Bonding session way back in Jan-Feb, to usher in the new year :) Early birds (aka Fling & me) accompanied Qian on a mission to find the pressie for Bok while waiting for Miao to arrive.

Our hangout place this time - Handburger @ 313.

Having tried Handburger with Audrey previously, I decided to order my all time favourite Duck Confit burger. Whole grilled boneless duck leg confit in handmade orange sauce, baby snow pea sprouts, mandarin oranges on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato on a toasted caramelized bun.

Battered Dory burger - battered pacific dory fish topped with spicy tartare and renkon (lotus roots) crisps on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato on a toasted honey wholewheat multigrain bun.

The Handburger Original - Grilled 150g of 100% N.Z Ribeye beef patty, sweet onion jam, chedder cheese, handmade BBQ sauce on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato on a toasted caramelised onion bun.

Qian & Miao, with my marshmallow chocolate :)

Absolutely sinful drink - Nutella with marshmallow milkshade.

Lychee Mint Crush & Root Beer

Sisterhood that survived all the years! Speaking of which, it has been a long time since our last meet up @ Ryan's place ... time for another sister bonding session! Someone, please arrange for the next meet up :)

Lerk Thai

Met up with Nijun & Fling on a Friday evening for our catching up session. It has been ages since I stepped foot into Causeway point & OMG ~ it's damn crowded! Keep having to say "excuse me" to push my way through the shopping mall.

Being the 地头蛇 of Woodlands, Nijun recommended Lerk Thai for our dinner :)

Tried out their pandan leaf drink. Refreshing & a good-perk-me-up after a long day at work.

The signature Tom Yam Seafood Soup! With fresh prawns, squid and fish slices, it is mildly hot and sour. Great antidote to whet up our appetite for the subsequent dishes :)

Green Curry Chicken, a thai national dish well-known across the world. Just like the Tom Yam Seafood Soup, this is the must-order dish in any Thai restaurant for an authentic Thai meal.

We ordered way too much dishes to be shared b/w us! However, with 3 eating machines, I think we managed it quite well.

Extremely full after this meal. We walked back to Causeway Point for Ya Kun Coffee & Tea to do more catching up... Fling was so persistent on not jay-walking but had to give in when Nijun & I literally dragged her across the road!

Came across this cute kiddy bear ride @ the shopping mall. I used to love such rides when I was young. As I grow older, I can no longer fit into them :( Despite that, they still hold a charm over me!

See, even Fling & Nijun couldn't resist the cute little bear! The next time, I shall attempt to squeeze myself into the ride, heehee.

Chinese New Year 2010

Gathering at HQ place again. Steamboat dinner to celebrate the new year. Super outdated post but the blame is on Blamer cos she is the one holding onto the pics.

(Blamer here: Leecher kept the pics in his HDD without knowing that it was in there and still blame me, seems like he shld be named Blamer instead)

The early comers get to savor the spread first.

The soup is made with HQ's grandma's secret recipe, really yummi-licious. If we were to gather at my place next year, we will have to get him to come over earlier to cook the soup base.

While we were discussing whether to play poker or Mahjong in the living room... ...

HQ's conscientious wife was busy cleaning up in the kitchen. But where in the world is Blamer??? Wasn't she supposed to help out with the "girl's thing".

There she was, going though other ppl's fridge to sieve out this cute looking tiger cupcake to commemorate the Tiger Year.

How can it be a Lunar New Year dinner without a lo hei session?

Lo hei from Sushi Teh. I heard from a few reviews that Sushi Teh's lo hei is quite decent.

Everyone took turns to put in the condiments, saying something auspicious at the same time.

Comes with a generous amount of sashimi too. All set 3... 2.... 1!

HHHUUUAAAT ahhhh!

Ten over years of friendship and counting!

Finally Blamer comes into the pic. She will only appear when there's food to eat.

Cheers to great health and wealth for the year ahead!

World Cup Fever P7

Met up with Leecher after his match @ Chambers, we proceeded to another destination for Spain VS Paraguay.

My fave Mac! It was filled with students who are studying for their exams in between matches & uncles who prefer air-con as opposed to the Kopitiam opposite.

This time round, it's just the 2 of us :)

With nuggets & fries & ice green tea to share!

The last WC post for 2010 ... till Euro 2012, if I still have the energy to hang out till late :)

World Cup Fever P6

After our little date at Spruce, we parted ways to watch World Cup with our respective friends; Leecher back at the Chambers while I went to One Fullerton with my fave couple :) This time round, it's Germany VS Argentina!

My 2nd time @ Overeasy with MQ! Oh shucks, that reminds me: I have yet to blog about my 1st experience @ Overeasy :( *another item to add to the ever-expanding list*

Made reservation 4 days in advance to nab tables that were just in front of the screen. No mention of min spending & I thought I got quite a good deal. However, drama mama later ....

All set and ready to order ... MQ looks like a gigantic present waiting to be unwrapped :p

Ushered into the restaurant as it was drizzling outside. Ordered Mac & Cheese to share with MQ, as I was still full from Spruce dinner earlier. Good old fashioned Mac & Cheese that was not cloying. In fact, we polished off everything, even the cheese crumbles!

A mini version of Fish & Chips that shocked us when it was presented. Small in quantity yet the price tag suggests otherwise.

To-Die-For burger, that tastes more like Big Mac than anything else.

Cheesecake Creme Brulee as desserts!

Complimentary Raspberry Jell-O with Vodka. I took a small bite and passed it to MQ. Acquired taste to some, but it tasted like cough syrup to me.

Ok, the drama starts when we were ushered to outdoor seating for the match. We were placed given front row seats ..... BEHIND the screen. I was so pissed off that I went to find the manager and asked to be placed in front of the screen. The manager mentioned that there's a min spending of $60/pax if we want to be seated in front of the screen. I retorted (nicely) that his staff didn't mention any min spending when I called to reserve the table. He finally relent to waive off the min spending & got us seats in front of the screen ... yippee!

My drink to last me the night ...

Match started & ended with Heaven crying for Argentina when they lost 4-0 to Germany! So sad, but then again, Messi was just so messed up during this match.
