Monday was Pengyong's belated birthday! LOL... Pengyong drove today.... had to return his rented car at UBI... so weida and i took his car, accompanied him to return his car before we went to Little India's Parkroyal @ Kitchener Road Hotel for buffet lunch.
Quite funny theme. Teochew Porridge Buffet for birthday! Looks like we went budget due to economic crisis. Haha..... Actually not. Costs $23.30 after 20% UOB discount. The ambience was nice. Cos... there are less than 8 tables occupied and the restaurant has about 40-50 tables. They gave us a cubicle where we could enjoy our meal in quiet and nice garden environment.
Overall the teochew porridge was nice... Me, being a Teochew, actually dun really like Teochew porridge de.. haha.... cos dun eat salted fish and a lot of the rest. Haha... But okay la... tasted it and find its better den those u can find it outside.... the braised duck was nice.... with a few other dishes... better than average. The roti prata was hot and crispy! With nice curry filling! Haha...
Came here with tekong mates back den... the weekend buffet was much better.. they had banana prata and all.... probably more expensive, more variety... haha.... if not the buffet would have been better...
They have a nice dessert corner.... haha... i tink the other time the weekend buffet was better...haha... more variety.. today still ok only. LOL... Free flow ice cream, cappuncino and all.... haha...
The ambience for the restaurant is 100 marks. We had a great time chatting while eating our food. =) Food wise 80 marks. Can have more food selection. Although we were quite full and didnt even touch the sashimi section at all.
Anyway, we struggled to finish the food. Haha.. took too much of the porridge dishes.. See how "mianqiang" he looks.. haha... anyway, he posed for this picture. LOL....
Anyway, one lesson we learnt. In a buffet, always take for yourself. And not for others. This way, you can eat more types of food you like and be less full. YOu enjoy more. Reason being you usually take wad u like to eat more. End up u suffer cos u gotta finish all the food u like tat people cant finish. =X
Went to watch Shinjuku Incident after tat... the movie was nice! I give it 7/10. =) ... but jackie chan a bit too old liao.... dun have much fighting scenes and action liao.... haha... but overall the story plot was nice... wu yan zu character quite suay... haha.... pity him sia... lol...
Hope pengyong enjoyed his day. Wondered how my birthday will be like this year. Haha... Hint: I want surprise. =)
Managed to psycho my mum to go out with me to eat snow ice on Saturday. I was telling her how nice the ice was, with all those mango fillings... she got tempted to try it and said "OK LOR... lets go!"
LOL... Haha.. went to Hougang Mall for snow ice and "dun-dan" or "dan-lai" in cantonese..... Well... mummy and i fierce.... we ordered one dan lai and snow ice each to eat... LOL... purpose of the outing is to eat ICE! LOL.... Quite scary.... my mum finish the 2 desserts faster than me lah! Had to wait for me!
I ordered the mocha snow ice today wich didnt taste nice... compared to the mango wich is like so nice!
Had dinner @ Xiao Xuan Feng with her. cos of the 50% citibank discount! Haha.. 2 person pay 50% less.... we ordered 7 dishes... ordered too much for dinner... one xiaolongbao, one durian puree, one guo tia, one har kau, one fried beancurd skin, one mango pudding, one i dunno wad u call tat... crispy crispy de...
Overall the xiaolong bao wasnt tat impressive.. marina's nicer.... the better ones are the fried beancurd skin and the crispy crispy thing... the durian puree would be nicer if its less watery and less sweet.
Went out with Yim, Wen, Jes to Party World KTV on Sunday. Wow.. it has been a while since I last went to KTV le... since last year??
Wah... my voice certainly sucks big time.... havent practised singing for a long long time.... and i do not know what i can sing... seem to be running out of songs.. cant even select the song i want to sing later... sing so many oldies.. the songs just got older and older....
We went to eat at Sanur Indonesian Restaurant @ Ngee Ann City after that. Well, i can say... i tink the food is too ordinary.... and quite expensive.. the tauhu goreng is the one tat u can't home-made.
The rest... taste like home food. Not beri unique and would not make you feel like visiting tat kind.... haix... =X Funny part was tat... DBS got 10% off... and 4 of us dun have a DBS / POSB card! Haha.... So we end up paying the 100%.
Went out with Shaun on Tuesday to eat Delifrance at Bukit Panjang. Quite a budget outing! LOL.... I ordered the student meal ... haha... which is $7.40 NETT while shaun, cos not student, (He havent bribe SIM to give him student card)... haha... jus joking... pays $9.30 for his adult set meal.
End up my set was better.. cos i can choose from 6 choices.. for main course.. while he can only have the main course for the day. =X And also, i got ice cream and he got a cake for his dessert. I got a Sprite and he got a coffee.
Haha... Diaoz... student benefits really a lot. Pay less eat better. His beef spaghetti looks great though... my cheesy chicken mushroom baked rice was extremely good although i still like the chicken baked rice at swensens better... maybe i addicted to it.... haha...
But the standard for the baked rice at delifrance was good. Didnt have a good impression of bistro delifrance actually but after eating the nice cheesy baked rice.. i willing to come again for student meal! LOL....
There was also a soup to go along with. =)
