Thank you Zendy and her family for their hospitality. I couldn't find any other better and appropriate words to thank her other than million of thanks.


I spent 5 days in Shanghai ... the climate there was cooling, average temperature 8 - 14 degree. We just need to put on a jacket to roam around this cosmopolitan city with a mixure of west and east culture .





My first meal in Shanghai... Hazelnut coffee , waffles with peatnut butter at one of the cafe along Nanjing Road.











One of the famous local eatery patronised by the local, the fried bun were juicy , skin was chewy.. one plate of 8 bun costed only RMB 4 after convesion to SGD , is less than SGD $1. It was a steal.











Dinner at one of the restaurant within the vincity of Xin Tian Di - Well know tourtist spot. Herbal Legeng typically served dishes cooked from chinese herbal which nourishes , strengthen our body .








Authentica Shanghai cuisine.. Hong Qiao Restaurant.











It was Strawberry season, u can pluck and eat the strawberries on the spot.

Children Aid Society


I spent my entire afternoon at Childrend Aid Society to learn Clay painting with the less privileged kids. The children came from either single parent family or broken family who need special attentions from the society . We coloured the clay figures with the children, interact with them , play games with them, hi tea together. They loved the cakes provided my us so much that some of the kids ate more than 4 slices. Indeed, it was a wonderful wet afternoon.

However, pardon me for my bluntness comments. Jasmine who supposed to be the main contact for the event did a relatively disorganied job. Different timing was given to the home and volunteers , no concrete planning of programme, not mingling with the kids. Although we asked her umpteen times any help required from us but rejected our offered. I felt that her presence today purely to show off ........ really lack of the spirit of volunteering ....

I had been waiting for the day to dine in this well-reviewed Japanese restaurant cum super mart. Best place to look for high quality of sashimi at reasonable price. Check it out. Sakuraya Restaurant.

We had our lunch at the Tanglin Village outlet. We selected a few slabs of sashimi from the display refrigerator at the left side of the restaurant. Sent its to chef to slice nicely for our dining pleasure . The sashimi indeed live up to food critics reviews. Fresh and good .

However, the restaurant literally served sashimi only, not recommendable if you expect more than seafood.





Swordfish and Seabeam.
Swordfish is too good that we order another slab.

Ones may had suffered alone for years , ones still enjoy happy life with family. Prove that ones have no intention to mark up for you. Its so easy for ones to forget, wheareas ones may undergo lifetimes dreadful images .


Our relatives from Hainan came to Singapore on Monday. Of course, to extend our hospitality to welcome them we treat them a feast. After gotten opinion from the family members, we chosed to dine at one of the well known Hokkien restaurant, we had heard of this eatery from elderly, read positive reviews on food portal.

It is an air-conditional restaurant with simple decor, very typical oldest restaurant been around for 40 years. Quite retro though.


Service staffs are polite and attentive, tea refilled with tea instead of plain water which almost all local restaurant do. We ordered more than 8 dishes , include their signature dishes Black Hokkien Mee, Kong Ba Bao, Crispy Chicken etc. Dessert was served complimentary. Total damage at $279 for 12 persons. I find it is damn good value on the quality and portion of the food served. No service charge for their excellent services. Overall, the food met our expetation, we will definitely come back for the hokkien mee, braise pork again. Thus , I do not hesitate to recommend anyone who has craving for authentic hokkien food.
