desserts! i love desserts... i read this on Ladyironchef's blog that you know a man's a keeper when he loves desserts :x

anyway, i love to have traditional chinese desserts exceptionally and it has been my beauty therapy since young when my mum always bring my siblings and i to chinatown's 二姑糖水. i love the almond paste and occasionally fathom on the sesame paste. still the almond paste is my no.1 favourite till today-credits to mum for telling me that eating almond paste keeps my looks. yes, im a vain man :x

its a wonderful dessert session after some dim sum at my fav royal china @ raffles hotel. i think maybe its about time to engage Yanting @ st regis soon since its no.1 regardless of its hefty pricetag lol~ we shall see about it!~ Desserts and more desserts please!~ :)

Charcoal BBQ-return of Yakiniku

i love Yakiniku, We love Yakiniku!~ yes! we all Do!! :p its lovely to come here and dine and eat and i simply love the ambience coz its not crowded (never?) and best of them all is that service is fast, prompt and excellent!~

some starters that i din see/try on the 1st occasion: COLD tofu, kimchi, octopus

ooolalala~ cook and eat, cook and eat! never stop, never give up!~ :p

it was once again, a fantastic experience eating, chatting and laughing our hearts out! din take much pic this time as we had cam-gal, trisha! :) thks and photos way on my facebook long time ago! almost grossed out when i unintentionally ate a pcs of cow-tongue... *puke~

this time the promotion was over BUT thank god coz stanchart has some discount think 15% off? i cant rem... the bill works out to est. $36/pax. good food + good company = happy outings! :) looking forward to the next outing alrdy! :)

Blueberry Cheesecake

thks to xiuxiu and eugene in class during our intensive lectures, i got a nice slice of blueberry cheesecake from bakerzin's! :p i had my fair share during my birthday but i think the cake-cutter was "poorly-skilled" that he/she kinda "squashed" some of the cake... @,@ i think it takes skill and lots of details plus patience to cut a beautiful slice! ;)

as usual, bakerzin's never fail to impress my taste buds and the goodness of the cheese makes you go ooolala~ :x plus with the blueberry covering on top, nice~! blueberries are alzheimer fighters! so, DIG IN w/o filling guilty! lol~ yum yum!~ thks xiuxiu n eugene!~

Chocolate Indulgence by Secret Recipe

typical "kiasu-ism" =X
a slice of happiness~

I saw the ad somewhere! i cant rem where tho but! who careS~ :D lol~ this is gonna be a little controversial FOR some people but it doesnt really matter to those who knoe nuts!~ :p my 2nd tryst with secret recipe...

the cake is really huge and i think even if its the original pricetag, its really well-worth it. when i say huge, its really huge, fit for a king!! roar~ i couldnt resist the temptation and cut a slice that day in the office and one for my brother... hehe~ i think you have to love cream to love this cake coz its rather gelare and i think 1 slice will cause the law of diminishing returns to kick in... =x

tasting-wise, its still good but, my opinion is that, its very very filling and when i had 3/4 of the cake, i felt full given the fact i skipped lunch... i feel the sponge is a little too much so i guess that what makes it very filling... i guess the girls will proli stop at half. best to share 1 slice. moreover i was very stingy when i cut the 1st slice. hmmm~ken told me that, Chocolate Induglence, the original, does not contain too much sponge. it is due to promotional season that they made it this way, i guess i will have to try it again! :)

overall, its a nice piece of art here and i'm a cream-lover thus the preference for it. i think i proli needa visit canele soon for valrhona detox ;p ;or some bailey's irish cheesecake-this is thks to tricia... :(

Boo Boo Cake~

this piece of cake is heavenly!~ even the whipped cream taste awesome!~ =X

i was out to have pig organ's soup at lavender. i shall post this GREAT pig organ's soup soon man!~ don't have the pics now tho... :x i tot my friend was playing with me when she was describing about Boo Boo cake... i tot was some sort of emo codes?morse codes? or whatever and guess what! i was in bewilderment when i saw it with my very own eyes!~ lol~ think when u mix around too much with crappy people, your brain begins malfunctioning and becomes equally crappy or..... >.< oops!~

anyway, this cake is quite rich and i love rich chocolate cakes especially Canele's. its been awhile, Ms canele, i shall visit u soon.... lol~ and NYDC has really created something i would give a thumbs up and a "out of this world" rating! :) Boo Boo cake it is! one that wont make you go boo hoo!~ :)

shd i get a digital camera? hmmm....... i wonder......... :x

kettle chips

Thanks Clara for giving me this packet of chips so long long long time ago... it was a kind and much appreciated gesture from her... i will never forget it thats for sure coz i was sharing about my sad stories and i think she and my bro could feel for me... yet i guess they din know how what to say to make me feel better :)

its the "atas" chips you'll find it at major good supermarkets. i think i always go for homebrand chips and once in a while pamper myself with either Lay's or Ruffles!~ anyway, i always keep things people give me even food for an eon period =x lol~ anyway, this habit of mine has yet to change coz seeing the item there makes me feel blessed and appreciative to these givers!! ;)

that aside, the taste of it really makes it feel expensive and high crass (purposely spelt this way). haha~ thks bro n clara! grateful!~ :)

Fullerton Hotel DimSum buffet

I'm really very blessed to be able to attend this dimsum session with the forum! lol~ it feels really nostalgic and a atmosphere of suspense and awkardness when i thought about it way back and even during the meetup!! lol~ but yet, the temptation of having dimsum is not diverting me away anyhow!! also, one of my foodie classmate, shirley told me that you gotta make reservations a good 3 mths ahead of time! so i was pretty hyped up when it was an open invitation made and best of all, it was an invaluable experience to be acquainted with new faces of different walks of life!~ :) also, the invitation was made only to the 1st 20 respondees in the forum... keke~ i'm in the guest list as mystery chio bu!

big big table w pu-er tea

assorted

Abalone Siew Mai

shark fins har gau

century egg & pork congee

guo tie~

ok, tasting:
probably it was just me i guess... the food was pretty decent and i think most of the people on the table were raving about the food! haha~ i held back alot on my photo taking coz many others were taking and i wasnt familiar with them and i wouldnt want to look like a cam-whore... :D thus my humble collections were limited and the pictures are a lil' diff from how i normally would make it seem more yummilicious :x haha~

tat aside... i think the dimsum here is more of a seafood/prawn haven.. they had many stuff that was prawn in nature... and i have say this, is that, the quality is good and well-worth your penny given the quality it boasted... really, i mean shark fin's hau gau? abalone siew mai? lol~ impressive huh? i couldnt agree more... of coz, Fullerton pales much in terms of taste which i would expect it to fulfill this area of my needs (Disclaimer: individual pref). overall, i enjoyed myself much! :)

Therefore, enjoy or satisfy your dimsum cravings without feeling the pinch on your wallet given its quality ingredients, priced at $28++ but be ready to endure the wait! lol~

The Dim Sum Buffet at Jade is available on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays for two seatings, from 11.30am to 1.15pm and from 1.45pm to 3.30pm at $28 per person.

oh! another important thing, i have to applaud the service standards. the service is fantastic and i think our unreasonable demands din blow the staff away, instead, WOAH! the captain blew us away with his professionalism, patience and helpfulness amidst the full crowd in the restaurant. i really salute him for his patience! ;)
