TCC launched new drinks on menu, The Perfect Match and Lychee Jazz. The Perfect Match in fact is Latte with hitch of Rose syrup, not too great to shout about. As for Lychee Jazz is a fizzy lychee drink, can lychee will certainly taste better for our palate .

The hotel impressed me the most upon our arrival was the welcome drink. I had visited severals different rated hotel, which ususally serve only juices as welcome drink.

There were varities of choice , mix of western, Japanese and local Thai breakfast. Unlike Arnoma Swissotel, the breakfast here was much more relax & peace, guests staying here were mostly tourist from Japan, Europe, Hong Kong. Taking food from the spread was very much in order and no hurry at all.

My first breakfast experience at the hotel...

We are typical shopaholic, we skipped our lunch to battle inside ChatuChak - biggest weekend market in Bangkok.

The most enjoyable shopping spree here is practicing bargain power....

Our Dinner at Airport Mango Tree, a chain restaurant that served Thai Food. The Mango Rice won our heart .

Meal on board TG404 back to Singapore...

Hiaz ! Need to face reality after my shopping spree .

A welcome dinner for Shu Fen back from Shanghai . I had introduced Seafood Paradise @ Defu Lane previously, Seafood Paradise started from a small Tze Chai stall in a very secluded industry area - Defu Lane. Through years , it has grown to an air-conditioned and well known restaurant at Defu Lane. In March this year, it opened another outlet at Singapore Flyers, where we had our dinner tonight.

Compare with Defu Lane, Singapore Flyers was nicely designed and more comfortable , service staffs were much more attentive, food served was much faster nevertheless the food taste remains excellent.






Dessert... a brilliant choice to wrao up the entire dinner.
However, only limited choice of hot dessert.










Butter Crab
Creamy and tasty

Deep Fried Bun... married well with cream crab savory gravy.

Not a Chilli Crab frenzy .... passable .

Honey Pork Rib

Sweet ... well cooked coated with special honey sauce. Succelent and tender ribs

Wasabi Prawn

Not a wasabi fan at all.. hate the pungent taste, but Seaood Paradise chef made this dish perfect... taste of wasabi remain but the pungent taste reduced tremedously. Proved chef excellent culinary skill !

I simply love MOF dessert.... back again .. I had something new.. Avocado Salads which is refeshing , light and healthy . For dessert, we had hot redbean soup with Japan dumpling and Mocha Ice Crea with Kanten Jellies. Both tasted heavenly...... Each visit, each new dish that I tried gave me surprise, the restaurant has never disappointed me once. I will be back very soon.... Yummy.. .

Bugis Junction basement 01 had undergone a major revamp, which was re-opened few months ago There are many new food establishments , and one of them is Hong Guo restaurant served Yunnan cuisine. I had my food adventure at the outlet this afternoon, ordered the signature Guo Qiao Mee Xian, which is one of Yunnan famous dishes more than 100 years. I had heard the legend of the dish... a attentive wife prepared the dish for her scholar-to-be husband. Basically, Guo Qiao Mee Xian is Mee Hoon soup with different ingredients, the soup must be pipping hot when served enable the ingredients to be cooked. Verdict; the restaurant had modified the dish, if you have never tried it before, give it a try. For myself, this will be my first and last time to the restaurant, it did have the essence of the dish at all.

Signature Guo qiao mee xian

Raw ingredients served, need to pour all into a big bowl of hot soup . Overall: Passable

Meat dumpling

Flopped ! The skin too thick .

Group dinner at Seafood Paradise at damn ulu place - Defu Lane. A restaurant situated inside industry area, which is not accessible for those without car. A new philisophy of food learned this evening... be patient for good food .

Black Pepper Crab

Hot, Spicy and tasty.

Butter Crab

Must Try ! Succulent and creamy butter crab

Mee Goreng

Too sweet for my taste bud .. lack of the pungnent taste of mee goreng . Edilble !

I had striked off Xing Wang Hong Kong Café since years ago. Reason being, their food are not fantastic at all, although they are so call a Hong Kong Tea café that serve HK cuisine . They couldn’t even met 40% of local HK normal café standard, tea isn’t fragrance, baked rice taste bland and the method of preparing is different . However, tonight the café surprised me by Mochi with Peanut. Its were mochi (Glutinous Rice ball) coated with grinded peanuts. The Mochi were very soft , and went perfectly with grinded peanuts

Janes Cake Station at Jalan Kayu is not an unfamiliar cake shop to those stay at the northwest area. I had heard and watched on TV programme how tasty their cakes were, their signature cake ; Chocolate and Durian. Today, I drove a long journey to Jalan Kay on the pretext of buying cake for SingYi’s Birthday. In fact , the true is I had been wanted to try the cake for long times.

The chocolate fudge cake is moist, spongy, light and the taste of chocolate mixed with some kind of cream (which I could describe) . However, I find netizen has over-rated the cake, I personally would prefer Lana Chocolate cake at Greenwood Ave, it gives you nostalgic feel, very homely type , not too sweet, moist, soft, spongy, light and most importantly the has strong taste of Chocolate …
