Dinner Gathering With Friends

It’s almost the last day of CNY and we planned to have a dinner gathering at East Ocean Restaurant located at Shaw House.

In fact, our main purpose to dine at this restaurant was to taste their ‘peng cai’… something I have not tried before but heard so much about it. Linda was the one who recommended us to dine at East Ocean.

Our set dinner started with the steam prawns and I was really thankful that I got back my liking towards prawns as they were fresh and yummy. Next, it was the thick seafood soup which looked like mango pudding at first sight but tasted good man…. though it wasn’t shark’s fins soup, somehow I like it… Save the SHARKS!!!








The next dish is my all time favorite… bamboo clams with garlic! Aiyo… this bamboo clams was super delicious and I would love to have 10 servings of that!!!! Okay, 10 were way too much… I had one and the half serving after all as we had extra!!!


This was quite an interesting dish where the whole fish was cooked in two different styles. For the meat, they steam and stir fried it with broccoli and the fish head was deep fried. I am never a fan for fish but I tried and man, it was GOOD! It was supposed to be a vegetable dish next and when it was served, we were surprised that it was soupy rather than stir fried. The vegetable was cooked with fish maw in a soup base and I thought it was not too bad.




While waiting for our main Dish (peng cai) to be served, friends were exchanging ideas about what they can do with their i-phones… I would really want to get one myself but my contract is still not up yet!!! Arrrraaagggghhhhh……








Our wait was over, the ‘Peng Cai’ was finally served and we were really excited about it…. while waiting for it to be warmed up… we took a peek on how it looked! When we opened the cover of the claypot, most of us drooled!!!! There were scallops, abalone, mushrooms, dried oysters, roasted meat, ‘duck feet’ etc…



I was really impressed by the sauce…it was really awesome! I managed to find lotus, fish maw, mushroom, scallops, black moss & roasted meat… the sauce was the most delicious part of the whole dish and I simply enjoyed it with my bowl of rice!





After a very satisfying meal, fresh fruits were served as dessert. Additionally, the restaurant captain gave us with their delicious ‘nien gau’ as compliments as Linda knows her very well…


I had a wonderful evening with my friends and let’s do it again!!

Happy Birthday TWIN!

Happy birthday to my mama, TWIN and bestest buddy Theresa!

You have been a great pal all these years and I really thank God bringing you into my life. I am thankful that you are there for me during those happy, sad or ‘happening’ times! Wishing you a very happy birthday and may you be blessed with HIS LOVE always.

Luv you to bits….

CNY Short Trip To Bintan

Hubby and I took additional three days leave for CNY. We planned our trip to Bintan for to relax before I enter my final journey (final trimester).

We set off on 17th Feb (fourth day of CNY) since most of the visiting had been done. When we arrived at Bintan Lagoon, we were not surprised to see many Singaporeans there. Bet some of them were avoiding CNY.

I was really thankful that our room was ready when we checked ourselves in and was given a nice room with a wonderful view. We took the Sea-Facing Deluxe room which was refurnished recently. Indeed, it was new and spacious. I simply loved the balcony as it was sea-facing with golf course view. Fantastic!



Many of you would have guessed that I will be ‘burned’ when I get back….

CNY Family Reunion Dinner

Before welcoming the year of Tiger, we went to Aunty Susan’s place for our family reunion dinner. It is our tradition to have family reunion dinner at her place yearly but this year, we have a new addition in our family. We have cousin’s baby Zoe joining us.


We started to prepare all the dishes for steamboat and aunty got the ‘Yu Sheng’ ready for us. All set and we started to toss the Yu Sheng before tucking into the steamboat…. All were well wishes as we tossed the raw fish.




My cousins then started the soup boiling for the steamboat so that we can have the food when we are done with our raw fish… there were so many dishes on the table (as usual) and I guess the most popular dish of all would be the CP dumplings! It was all snapped up shortly!!





After dinner, we had our usual family picture and went our separate ways till we meet again tomorrow for actual Chinese New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone!! Wishing one and all good health and good Wealth!!

Birthday Celebration

Happy Birthday to myself! Hahaahahaha…. Anyway, had lunch with my colleagues at Swensen’s and it was simply a blast though it was a short gathering during our miserable 1 hour!

In the night, hubby brought me to one of my recommended restaurant Pietrasanta located at Portsdown Road. This restaurant is owned by Loris who is cousin-in-law of my bestest buddy Theresa.

We were given a very cozy corner away from the bigger crowd in the restaurant. We ordered our favorite mixed seafood as our starters and sparkling water since wine is out of the question for me now…



As for our main course, hubby had spaghetti with seafood and Italian risotto with pumpkin, parmesan cheese & amaretti biscuit… it was awesome! It was hubby’s 1st visit and he was simply impressed. I am sure we will be back again since he is kind of ‘in love’ with the seafood spaghetti.



After our ice-creams for desserts, we head home for the cake-cutting ceremony! Conrad kindly gave me a cake during my visit to Oscar’s on Tuesday and thought it would be nice to have the cake-cutting at home together with mummy.






Birthday is basically the beginning of my 365 days in 2010 and I bet I will be enjoying the ride with the arrival of our little one soon…
