Jessie’s Birthday Celebration

It was our buddy Jessie’s big day today and we invited her for dinner at Double Bay located at Raffles City. I remembered her telling me that she would like to dine there again as she seemed to enjoyed the fish & chips very much.




I contacted our ex-colleagues to join as she would be delighted to see them coz’ we don’t meet often. As soon as we were seated, all were discussing what to order coz’ all the dishes seemed interesting. Finally, we decided to order two Caesar salads, two seafood baskets, two mushroom soups, two fish dishes cooked in different style and two pastas to be shared by all.










We were glad that we ordered to share as the portions were pretty big for starters. Some of us enjoyed the seafood baskets particularly as it was awesome. It consisted of chunky fries, calamari, fried fish and tempura style prawns. Pretty awesome spread I would say. I loved the mushroom soup too… I was really surprised to see a half-boiled egg in the soup… it was really rare though.





Most of us were pretty stuffed after having those starters and when the mains arrived, it was almost like having desserts… I liked the crispy fried Australian Barramundi; the meat tasted so fresh and sweet. As for their pastas, mmmmh…. I would give them a five out of ten. Not that impressive to be honest…






Linda suggested that we should go for coffee somewhere else instead of having desserts and yes, we went to Toast Box. It was really nice to have something more local as ‘desserts’ after a heavy dinner. Hahhaahaha…..

Anyway, Happy Birthday buddy and may you be filled with loads of happiness and be in the pink of health!!

Happy Birthday to my dearest buddy Jessie.... May your birthday be filled with loads of happiness and fun!

You've been a wonderful pal all these years and you are always treasured...

Have a great time celebrating yeah.... Love ya.

Theresa’s Post Birthday Dinner

It’s been a busy February and we have no time to have a get-together birthday dinner for Threz and finally tonight we met up.

We went to Barossa, a cool restaurant The Esplanade. The place seemed new to me and it would be fantastic for us to try out since it’s really near our office. Moreover, it’s been a long time since I last dine at the Esplanade; at the same time… we could visit the Merlion which was at that time in the ‘intensive care unit’ after it was strike by lightening… sad case…


While waiting for Birdy to arrive, we ordered fries to snack. The fries were great but normal… how special can the fries be right… For starters, we ordered salad to share and our mains were seafood pizza and pasta. We enjoyed the salad especially the egg! (We are all egg lovers!)



The pizza was the best dish of the night. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and man… I regretted not having that on my own! Hahaahahaha… nay… it’s too big a portion for me to finish. The pasta was not too bad though Ron mentioned that she ordered the wrong one! Theresa & Bird shared the lamb chop which they commented ‘delicious’. Simply love the environment and I will definitely return for the seafood pizza soon!





For desserts, we went to Haagen-Dazs at the Esplanade. We were given the menu and shortly we decided to share the ice-cream. We chose our flavors but to our surprise, the staff told us that the flavor we ordered was not available! Errrr…. Shouldn’t all the flavors to be available on the menu? It’s Haagen-Dazs restaurant or café whichever you called it… I thought that was really ridiculous! If the flavors are not available then the staff should inform us before hand. Sighz…


In the end, we went to have desserts at Anderson located at Marina Square. The ice-cream were just as good and prices were more reasonable.

Threz… hope you had a great time as I certainly did.

Luncheon At Cable Car

Hey, don’t be fooled by the title of this article… I did not lunch on the Cable Car!! In fact, we were invited to lunch by Minowa-san (as usual) and this time joining us was Rie instead of Linda as she has no interest to take Japanese Curry Rice.

Minowa-san happened to read about the restaurant (Cable Car) on newspaper and found it pretty interesting and decided to invite us to try. It was located at Cuppage Terrace and wasn’t difficult to find at all. We were actually amazed that it was a bar rather than restaurant.




They served Japanese Curry Rice for lunch and other items like pizza, burgers and sandwiches too. The bar was not big but it was surely comfortable and unique … for LUNCH. I would say it was my first time having to take lunch sitting on a high chair instead of normal dining table.





I went straight to order my curry rice with sunny side egg without meat, boss ordered curry rice with fried prawn and Rie had curry rice with chicken. It was a set lunch and man, it was pretty reasonable.

Our food didn’t take long to serve and though the presentation was simple but it was tasty. I am one great fan for Japanese curry rice and yes, this one is pretty good. It wasn’t too starchy and it just blends in very well with the sticky rice. Yummy!
