Swensen's @ Suntec~

How often do you get to walk around a shopping mall and see more shops close than open on a public holiday? ......... That'll be during the first 2 days of CNY! Well, it's quite an experience, being able to walk comfortably in a mall without having to bump onto strangers along the way. Like the shops, many of the eateries were also closed, hence, fewer dining options. Nevertheless, we managed to have dinner at Swensen's without having to wait in queue for too long.

~*Prawn & Fruit Salad*~

This salad was marked with the healthier choice label and was one of the Chef recommendations on the menu.
It's good serving of shrimps, canned peaches, longans, raisins, greens and served with creamy sweet and sour creamy yoghurt dressing.

~*Spaghetti Aglio Olio*~

The texture of the spaghetti was just nice, not over or under cook. However the mushrooms were not evenly cooked. Alittle more chilli to increase the spice would have been better.

~*Crispy Veggie Mix*~

Deep-fried veggies coated with nicely seasoned batter served with a creamy savoury-sweet sauce.

Happy & Prosperous New Year!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Shen1 Ti3 Jian4 Kang1!
Wan4 Shi4 Ru2 Yi4!

Woah~ How time flies, in a few hours time, we'll be welcoming the year of the Ox!

It has always been a family tradition to have Yu Sheng and steamboat for reunion dinner on the eve of the lunar new year. Here's a look of what we had this evening.

~*Yu Sheng*~

Raw sliced salmon fish salad with abalone, sweet plum sauce, ground nuts, sesame seeds and an assortment of spices~

~*Cold Dish*~

Clockwise direction starting from the bottom left: Roast pork, seasoned scallop wings, jelly fish, century eggs with preserved ginger, bak kwa (bbq sliced pork) and prawn salad.

~*Sliced Abalone*~

~*Steamboat*~

The soup based was prepared a few hours in advance. It's really rich and filled with flavours from the prawns, scallops, wongbok, carrots, red dates...etc~

~*CNY Gift*~

Thanx P!

oops~ i didn't have time to d.i.y the CNY goodies this year, so no pics on pineapple tarts, or CNY cookies...

Shokudo Japanese Coffee House @ Parco Bugis~

Several Shokudo outlets and branches have been emerging in town. Some of which specializes in pasta and pizza, dessert or a large scale food bazaar.

The outlet at Parco Bugis offers some of their best sellers e.g. omu rice, pasta, pizza, dessert and drinks.

~*Condiments*~

~*Lychee Freeze*~

Refreshing cool lychee freeze to kick start the meal...

~*Grilled Chicken Omu Rice with Japanese Curry*~

Nice presentation but alittle too greasy for my liking. The omelette egg was slightly runny and went very well with the curry.

~*Waffle with Pistachio Ice cream*~

We waited quite some time for this to be served. The waffle & pistachio ice cream was just average.

Hmmm... when it comes to waffles and ice cream, Gelare's the place to be!

Shimbashi Soba~

It's been quite some time since i last had soba. And the first place that comes to mind when i crave for fresh serving of soba would have to be Shimbashi!

~*Seiro Soba*~

Cold soba in dipping sauce with spring onions and alittle wasabi... *Slurppp* Yummie~

~*Salmon Sashimi*~

Some sliced fresh salmon to go along with the seiro soba...

Food Junction @ Bishan Junction 8

A yummie bowl of kimchi soup filled with tau kwa, kimchi, glass noodles, chicken...etc
