Hubby bday celebration - food story

Saw from online about a shop call shin yuu which offer japanese buffet at pretty affordable price. Hubby like the food, but i find it so-so. He thinks i'm totally spolit.

But the sake is pretty good. so i was wondering that it should be izakaya instead

Just images of food....

Dun think i will go back again.... As i age, buffet is pretty meaningless to me.

Hubby bday celebration - cake story

I ordered cake from metrocake which is freaking good! So good that i told hubby, no need surprise, just give me "dark knight" for my bday. LOL

I bought him "duke of earl" which literally suit him alot due to his liking for tea.





Each cake is place on a leveled box, where knife & cutlery were given,



Very thoughtful!! *BIG SMILE*



And hubby finally reach 30 years old which i'm pretty amused it. Feels like a different gen.



Last but not least i had my slice of the lovely cake. =)

Pray - Eat - Shop - Dessert - Drink day!

Boss lew always not around when we take pictures.

We met up at 1pm to pray at si-ma-lu. I was so guai that i took a bus, with thanks to all the ppl who entertain me in one way or another during the boring 40mins journey. I cannot take bus alone. Damn bored.

After praying, which wasn't very good, we took boss lew car to thomson plaza to eat high-tea dim sum buffet. All cannot make it for buffet!! *LONG SIGH*

Good that they seems to like the food, especially the prawns & veg i guess. Thanks euxil for the treat =D

After makan, boss lew decided to say good bye, but drop us at vivo for shopping. It was super bored to shop during GSS coz the clothes are horrible and cheap also not that cheap wat. In the end, we drag our feet around and ended up eating dessert



Best Lava Cake so far! But it is call souffle here, and cost $16!!@___@



This is quality, especially after i saw the pathetic lava cake from last night, i knew this is good. And with good cocoa powder. Yummy~~

After that, we were contemplating to drink at ktv, or drink at st james. In the end, we went st james, and clear off a whiskey and a moet



Moet after Macallan taste horrible. =(

I seriously enjoy myself alot that day with a bit of craziest and abit of crankiness. It was the company that make it good.



One of my best-crazy-chilling-makan-kaki.

On leave today!! *happy*

Maybe should pop by somewhere for some good unagi. I have been avoiding since it is high in calorie.

Best steak eaten so far

Ministry of Steak @ Serangoon Garden is my new fav steak place. Despite that the word "Wagyu" have been over used in the wrong way, the Wagyu steak in Ministry of Steak does taste good. At $39.90 and no GST/SC, i think the price is pretty reasonable for a good piece of meat. If eating make you fat, make sure what you eat is worth while.

As seen, i had pasta salad accompanied my steak. There are many options for side, where we can pick 2 (same as ROS).



I choose Onion Rings for side 2, which was quite a normal tasting rings, and i think fries looks like a better choice.



We each have a soup set, trying out the potato & tomato soup which taste "blah".. And i think the color tells us that it is horrible.

The drink, with little options available, i decided to go for "home-made ice-lemon-tea"



Where on earth it looks like ice-lemon-tea? In fact, there are alot of lemon pulp inside which is a mixture of nice & troublesome feeling. After some time, the ice-lemon-tea became



=___= dunno what it is.



Pathetic looking dessert. Glad it wasn't mine. Had a try, rather than chocz, i feel it is made from milo. =(

What is best to sum up a meal on a friday night? Obviously alcohol~



We had a bottle of awful wine @ Liquid Kitchen which makes me miss the red wine that i drank with Jason previously. That was real good one.

Nice chat... till close to 2am.. I wonder if we would have sit around if there wasn't a last order (which is weird for a friday night)

Re-visit Harry's for Lunch

Steak @ harry's is pretty good. but this round, it is so-so..



we had the soup at $6 -$7 dollar, but i think republic $2.50 soup set taste even better.



In fact, i think the soft-toast taste better.

A short side story to the lunch, the menu print $6 for the soup, but we were charge $7. I claim that a dollar back for each soup, but my boss probably felt unhappy. Time is obvious more precious to him than a dollar. =(

But i'm the type who is willing to spend bucks on a good meal, but nt a dollar on what i'm not suppose to pay...

Happy Birthday Hubby!

You belong to THREE-O liao!! =P

Time to Migrate

Recently, there are more than 7 cases of ppl resigning around me. From friends to co-workers, I see them leaving and it gives complex feeling.

Issit the time for me to move to some other places? I have alot of messy thoughts, and i came out with the list below.

Reasons to stay

1. I need a GOOD new job.
I envy ppl who can quit w/o a new job. No matter how tough the work is, i can't say immediate good-bye. Having commitments that do not allow resignation w/o a new job is serious a rope on my neck. And at this point of time, i cannot accept a lower annual pay either, therefore i either need to find a good/high paying job or i have to stay.

2. Boss is not idiot.
My biggest worry will to be to have an idiotic boss if i change job. I heard of many stories on how horrible my friend's boss can be, or how mean their supervisors were. My side, so far so good. Most of my friends would have commented that i have a good boss, since he dun pick on me or give me trouble. (But he bully me T__T )

3. Work satisfaction.
From the current project that i'm doing. Though i know that the business knowledge is not very useful in the future, but at least for the moment i'm happy coz i completed some complex logic/

Reasons to migrate

1. Coz i'm in the middle.
Our co have 3 types of ppl. Type A, ppl who are damn good. high flyer. Type B, can do, can deliver, not the excellent kind. Type C, can't make it. I'm obviously a type B. In my co, the treatment towards A & C is better. Type A get all the advantage such as doing what they are good in and do not need to consider the deadlines of the projects. They tend to be flattered as a guru. Type C, since you cannot deliver in time, they will assign you simpler and lesser work. So who do the bulk of the work? Of course is Type B la.

2. Underpaid.
When a friend who grade is lower than me but pay is higher than me, i know i'm underpaid. Considering that i'm doing more work/responsibility than her but with lesser $$, the most i think, the more sad i feel. Though decided not to ponder on this, but fact is fact, i'm purely stating now, with no hard feelings. Does this means co policy got some issue?

3. Bad co-workers
In particular, ppl who appear nice when they need ur help, but treat u like shit or transparent when they dun need your help.

Migrate or not. Thinking in progress.

Vegetarian food?

My colleagues tend to mis-understood me. For example:

I don't like to drink carbonated drinks
I don't like to eat carbo

The above are all false!!

I do eat vegetarian food though it is full of carbo carbo & carbo.
My fav dishes are like mock goose, mock duck, mock fatty meat, mock luncheon meat.

I usually don't do so coz i think they contains alot of MSG and is unhealthy. Moreover, i'm cannot live w/o meat.

Cherry Cherry

These are all real cherries that i ate. The color difference have an impact on price such that the right side one are more expensive.

Last Weekend and upcoming activities

MoS water anyone?

Usually when i plan my weekend, i will keep one day to meet up hubby and one day or 0.5 day to meet up with friends. For cases when it is 0.5 at night, i usually do not meet hubby coz it is too troublesome to meet for half a day if we do not have particular activities. So it will be "me-time". Anyway, i scheduled my Sat to meet up with VJC for a PES session. However, it failed, due to little boy's fever. Thus we postpone it to 16th, believing that he will recover by then.

As i was already out of my house, i make my way to the west side of singapore, such that i can have a meal with my in-laws at night. Dinner was at Neo Garden and it was seriously fun talking to MIL when she tell me stupid things that my hubby did when he was young. FYI, i seldom do stupid things. i do intelligent things that stupid ppl think it is stupid =P (just joking)

Sunday, was a day with of schedule. From lunch - meeting the financial advisor - movie - buying dinner from chomp chomp. Transformer is good. I cried again (and my brother laugh when i was telling him about it), I cried through 3 transformers and most ppl cannot understand. But nvm... i think it is ok =)

The next few weeks are pretty packed for me, so for anyone who wanna meet, faster snatch a slot k? LOL.

Love Western Breakfast

I seriously love breakfast that have eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausages, toast & mushroom & some salad!

Sometimes it is just so great to rot in the morning and eat all these for a weekend brunch.



I love Egg's Benedict too! Even though this is only of normal standard, but it is the nearest to my house to curb my cravings~~

*yummy* The though of breakfast make me drool~~

A gift from colleague

The first time my colleague took this out from his plaste bag and hand this to me, i thought it is full of bricks and he is all out to kill me. ROFL

After the messy opening and unpacking, it turns out to be ....



*yummy*

Though i'm nv a fan of such food, but the one that this colleague bring is fantastic as it is made in penang, by someone who makes it at home.

FIRE!

Recently i'm watching GM Odore Doctor by Higashiyama Noriyuki (shonen tai). He kinda like to shout "FIRE" when he figure out the illness. It makes me giggle through out the testing of McD new's burger that day.

Anyway, the Chicken McGrill is not spicy at all. McSpicy is better.

Good thing about the launch of this Chili Chicken McGrill is that, twister fries returns.



Feel like eating it again while looking at the pic.

It is really fun to have ppl who drink with you. Most of my friends can't drink much. When i say drink much, i mean drink to drunk or drink at least half a bottle of hard liqor or 1 bottle of wine. Glad to have these ppl who drinks and we had fun mixing the different type of weird drinks together. =)

Jaemin, who invited me to join CC Club, din come. =( I heard she went back to her mars, venue or jupiter. Hope she don't launch an attack soon. =P

Definitely looking fwd to the next outing!

P.S.: Failed BBQ becoz Jaemin din come, so no grill!
