Birthday @ Ellenborough Market Cafe

Went to Ellenborough Market Cafe @ Swissotel Merchant Court with Tsian and Zen to celebrate my belated birthday yesterday.... =) It was belated as Tsian has just finished his exams... lol...

The hotel's design and infrastructure design damn nice.... Gives u a very nice feeling as you walk in... But the interior was kinda dark.. wondered why. LOL....

Anyway, the buffet section looks kinda small.... but theres actually a lot of food.... LOL.... And they have sub sections..... which we later found out.. lol....

The buffet has got crayfish, oysters, fish and all.... Its more towards the Peranakan food cuisine.... But I would say the best part of the buffet was the desserts section.. They had a wide variety of nice Peranakan desserts, ranging from Durian Pengat, Kueh Lapis, Pulut Hitam.... to Bread and Butter pudding and the likes.




The Durian Pengat is the main attraction and a must eat when you visit this cafe.. Its their signature dish.. True enough... its extremely tasty!!! YUMMY YUMMY! =) And I had 2 big full servings of it... damn nice.. its made of high quality durian... maybe mao shan wang or D24... lol... =)

By the looks of us, you would probably know how delicious it is liao... LOL... Nice rite? I give their durian pengat 10/10.... lol... as for the pulut hitam (red bean dessert with coconut milk) i find it kinda sweet... my mum's one is nicer...

The way to eat would probably to put the durian pengat in your tongue... den slowly let it melt on your tongue while you savour the taste of it.... DAMN DELICIOUS! =)
The penang kway teow was piping hot and nice... the rest of the dishes were also above average.... didnt eat the oysters cos it was raw...









I would say the service was impressive. I feel they actually have a waiter stationed to serve a few tables. Its like damn fast. They keep clearing your tables. But sometimes can be a little bit irritating. cos the moment you stop eating and start to talk, they will ask... can i clear? LOL... But overall it was quite good... they kept refilling us with water... LOL.... The only thing is that the toilet is very far away from the restaurant... there's no toilet inside the restaurant....

But overall I may look forward to visiting them sometime soon... when i have a craving for durian... LOL... =)

Birthday @ Waraku Heerens

Had dinner with Peng Yong @ Waraku Heerens last week... lol.... We dine at Waraku Heerens... I would say this outlet's portion is very much less as compared to the one in Marina..... its a lot a lot lesser.... used to be very full when I eat at Waraku... this is the outlet where u wun feel full after u finish eating...

The butter scallop was kind of disappointing too... not as hot and chewy as the ones i had in Marina... didnt like the noodles i eat.... lol... perhaps udon suits me better....

Next time I go to Waraku... I would go to the one in Marina =)

We went over to catch a movie after which. Watched Robin Hood with Peng after the movie.... =) The movie's storyplot was so-so.... Wasnt the storyline I expect.... Robin Hood's life before he become a robber.... the royalty was kinda weird... british royalty... but they used Arabian lookalike actor/actresses for the royalty. They dress a little bit Turkish. Which is kinda weird.Peng says it kinda easy to guess what is going to happen next. not much surprises to expect.... =X Give it 5.5/10. Its ok to give it a miss.

Birthday @ Jacks Place Bukit Panjang

Went out with Shaun for my birthday celebrations @ Jacks Place... we had steak.... ordered the NZ Ribeye Steak with Brown Sauce... =) Overall there is a lot of meat and the overall food was good =) Experience wise cool...

Random Outing (Jurong Point)

Went out with Kenneth and Shaun to eat Lai Lai La Mian @ Jurong Point last week! =)

We went there because they have this promotion set meal ... which includes a pork meat noodles.... a beef stew soup with loads of beef meat inside and also one full plate of tofu... all for only $9.90++... and you can order their milk tea or cooling freeze at $0.99++ each..... available from 2-5pm... weekdays! =)

Had a nice time chit-chatting there! =) Kenneth also ordered their promotional
egg with pork floss biscuit (dan song bing)... for about $6... which includes a coffee!

Pretty cool offer.. especially the drinks... They were bloody hell nice to drink lah... and cheap... cheaper than SWEETTALK LAH! Sweettalk is crap... full of chemicals... lol... this one has got more tea... lol =)

Random Outing (Bugis & Illuma)

Went to EbisBoshi ShoTenGai @ Illuma Bugis last week! Went with yim and wendy .... Wow.. This restaurant is so cool okay... You use a tip pen to select what you want to order... without the need for a waiter to take down the order.... lol... TIP TAP TIP TAP... lol... fun leh! =) Wish more restaurants can be this fun...

Ordered their teriyaki chicken udon... oh no....i find it too sour... oh no.... but the overall taste would be better if i had mixed properly... the chicken was sweet... sweet sour i would say? Wendy ordered the ebi set.... and yim ordered the katsu curry don... i also ordered an extra strawberry cake to fill up for dinner...

The udon i ordered wasnt tat good... but probably i chose the wrong item to eat from the menu... look forward to eating it soon... as i see they have loads of items to choose from in their menus...

We later headed down to boat quay to MINDS cafe... where we sat down to play games... lol... board games... lol... wah... didnt know there would be so many patrons lor.... costs about $17 per person.. free flow of drinks and tidbits... and a table to play games...

Had a nice time bonding there.. playing games like Luck of the draw... a pictorial game... where u draw a card from a deck of cards... and then draw pictures to see how fast your friends can get by what you are drawing... followed by Pass The Bomb.. where you are given words like FU & ING and asked to form words.... front and back.... and a bomb starts tickling... the one who got bombed gets the card and the lose is the one with the most number of cards... kinda interesting because the bomb goes "BOOOMMMMZZ""...

Last but not least was Monopoly....Yim's darn lucky.... kept passing by the same spaces and building houses and hotels.... and she ended up eating wendy and me up... OMG.... zzz... while we went bankrupt.. she went on to become a ruthless landlord... collecting so much rent from us.... for once it went like $9,000 .... -_-" cos she got so many hotels and houses to eat us all up.... and we were collecting like $500 from her...
