Had alittle get together dinner at Thai Express at VivoCity last evening~ the food was good ya~ hmmm...or maybe we were just too hungry...keke... Here's a peak of what we had ya~

Hot favourite, Phat Thai~ (Check out the chilli flakes)

Seafood salad~

Honey Chicken Rice~

Thai Special Fried Rice~

CNY goodies high~

Have been doing lots of visiting and CNY pastry snacking for the past 2 days (don't dare to weigh myself, for now... :p). The pineapple tarts, kueh bangkit, love letters (coconut crisp rolls), assorted cookies and nuts... etc... varies from house to house ya~ When it comes to CNY goodies, i've a soft spot for love letters and nuts; pistachios, almonds, cashews, macadanians, grams, walnuts, NUTS! :p~~~

CNY goodies, once you start, you can't stop ya~

p.s. do drink more liang cha ya~ and if possible, eat in moderation~

Reunion dinner~

Oh my gosh, i'm so full, i can't even stand up straight ya... another classic case of over-eating...


"Lao1" Yu sheng, has been a tradition during reunion dinners ever since its creation by a local SG chef~ i could still vividly remember, as a kid, the only thing i liked about Yu Sheng was the crispy crackers but now, i like every part of it ya~

Oops! alittle too colourful~

This is how it looks like after tossing the ingredients together~

Cold dish: Seasoned sharksfin, scallop wings, jelly fish, seaweed, japanese chicken, crab sticks, sotong ball, fried prawn paste chicken, ngoh hiang and stew chicken~

Steam boat dinner~

Some drinks to go with the dinner~

My mum prepared so much food, more than enough to feed 15 people ya. Judging from the amount of food leftover, i could foresee that lunch or dinner will be the same for the next 3 days~

Have a Happy, Cheery, Prosperous & Healthy Chinese New Year!~ :)

p.s. to avoid over-eating, only eat till you're 80% full ya~

Yi Kou Wei (taka)~

Yay~ i was delighted when i saw that they were still selling popiahs at the Yi Kou Wei at taka basement, unlike the tampines branch that temporary stopped selling their popiahs in order to sell their CNY goodies ya.

The taste, serving size and variety of the filling remained impressive except that they didn't have prawns, which was included in the popiah at the Yi Kou Wei at tampines mall. Oh, do ask for less garlic paste if you do not wish to have an empowering garlic afterbreath ya~ Nevertheless, i'll wouldn't mind paying $2 for such a satisfying popiah instead of $1.80 for a lousy tasting one ya~

The box it came in, cutez ritez? :p

Mismatched of the night~
