[[Food.. Yummylicious..]]

Gonna blog about the food that i ate over the past few days.

I want to introduce one of the best ramen that i've eaten.. Its the chinese-style ramen.. this small chinese restaurant is located beside Bugis Village.. When u cross the ever-busy road linking bugis junction and bugis village, you can spot a bak kwah store there.. walk towards that direction and you'll see the ramen restaurant. I believed its under the famous yong tau hu's (gao ji) company.

Their specialty consists of ramen and xiao long baos.. didn't tried the xiao long baos so i'll not comment on that. I tried the spicy seafood ramen while shun tried the chicken soup ramen (the chicken soup is served separately from the ramen).. Thumbs up for the spicy seafood ramen.. Its spicy but its nice.. Most importantly, its served with vegetables, sotongs (smooth and Q) and 4 pieces of their super delicious prawns.. Special mention abt the prawns, its big (compared to what you have elsewhere) and its super tender.. the meat is not overcooked and when you bite it, you can feel the crunchy feeling.. I loved their prawns!!! very fresh.... Their ramen is made on the spot.. and that explains the long waiting time that we had to endure.. But its definately worth the wait, the chef made the ramen on the spot and cooked it right away.. yummy.. highly recommended.. I believe its nicer than crystal jade..

Now i shall introduced a Japanese restaurant that you can enjoy food at as low as $2.90.. Its at the AMK central where MayBank and OCBC are located.. They had KatsuDon set (small plate of sliced cucumber, the katsuDon bowl, the Miso Soup) that is priced at $2.90.. OMG.. you are not seeing wrongly, its $2.90 before GST.. No Service Charge there and hence u only have to pay for $3.05 for a katsuDon set meal. Consider the money that you pay, the meal was already worthwhile.. (erhm, though it wasn't that fantastic) and the normal traditional udon is also priced at $2.90. U can enjoy FREE flow of green tea while dining in.. highly recommended for ppl who are looking for CHEAP and considerably good food.

CNY, Shun's Bday and V-day were ALL over... And now i'm gonna blog abt all these.. Gonna be a super long post..

CNY
Was a rather boring and "low profit" CNY.. haha.. As my grandma passed away last year, my parents were not supposed to give out any ang baos this CNY and so we didn't visit any of my mother's side relatives and that explains the reason for such a "low-profit" CNY.. but to compensate me for that, my mum and dad gave my brother and i a bigger Ang Bao this year.. hee hee~~

On the first day of CNY, like wat I had been doing for the past 21 yrs, i went over to Malaysia. My cousins will all gather at my grandfather's house in Msia and we'll just stay the rest of the day there. Its plain boring there. Dad, grandpa and uncles were playing MJ while the rest will play the (21 points game) .. Wasn't keen in playing the card game cos the thought of winning "riggits" doesn't induced me much.. haha.. so my cousin (who flew back from taiwan) and i were so bored there.. something special abt this CNY was that there were 2 babies in the house.. it was so long ago that we last heard babies' cries in my grandpa's hse. One word to describe them: none other than CUTE. Actually i used to be quite afraid of babies, because of their tiny size and fragile body structure, i'm always afraid that i'll accidentally hurt them.. hee hee~~ but after seeing the babies, i feel that there's nth much to scare too.. hee hee~~ Both babies are onli like 3 mths and 6 mths old... but guess wat, the 6 mths old baby is one generation younger than the 3 mths old baby: meaning the 6 mths old baby has to adress the 3 mths baby "uncle" when they grow up.. haha.. cos the 3 mths old baby is my uncle's son (meaning same generation as me) while the 6 mths old baby is my cousin's (biao ge) son.. so funny.. my cousin and his wife are young mum and dad. Both in their 20s.. (older than me lah) so envy them.. oh, and i realise that i'm very interested in the area of baby's development.. haha.. how their brain works, how they learn and respond to things.. dun you all find baby's learning pace amazing.. its definately an enriching area that we can explore..

Second day of CNY, i went over to Shun's relatives house at Seng Kang. They had this family gathering at his uncle's house and his cousin (biao di) cook pasta for us.. not too bad cos i simply love pasta.. spent the whole day there playing i-sketch on his computer, chatting, and lazing around. Had canadian pizzas, KFC, home-made deserts for dinner and of course not to forgot we "lau yusheng" too.. i remembered vividly that same time last year, we gathered at Shun's house to celebrate his bday and we "lau yusheng" too.. and his brother was still around then...

Shun's bday
Didn't do much for him this year cos i have a presentation on that day and we didn't eat out on that day.. thats a rare sight cos usually we will have our celebration by having a good dinner.. so what did we do? i bought a coconut cake from Polar (cos i can get it in my sch.. save time and effort.. hee hee), went over to cold storage and get one whole "cooked" pepper chicken, one can of clam chowder soup, one bottle of 7-Up Raspberry and one frozen salmon pizza (which comes with one packet of hotdog free) Then get 5 pieces of sushi from the nearby sushi shop and also sotong heads from old chang kee. And i carried all these things with my two weak hands.. OMG.. Its damn heavy. and i think i looked like some obasan - carrying bags and bags of heavy grocery looking like i'm on my way home from the market. super unglam. Got all the foods to his house on my own and waited for him to come back from work. (he was a bit pissed that day cos initially he was supposed to be on leave but he got called back the day before) cooked the clam chowder soup and toasted the pizza.. din turn up that well for the pizza.. and it tasted kind of weird.. sweet salmon.. What pressie i got for him? a bday card that was hand-written with one full page of my love for him.. whahahha.., a Levis T-shirt..(you cannot get that in S'pore cos S'pore dun carry that series of design..) Its a special T-shirt cos its a pair of couple tee-shirt.. It had a coherent design for both the mens and womens. Nice. I bought it when i was in Msia on CNY.. yes, first day of CNY.. was so bored that my uncle drove my mum and i to a newly opened mega mall.. i saw the t-shirt once i entered and i paid for it immediately.. Its cheap too.. A pair of it (placed in a plastic box) cost riggit 158 which is equivalent to abt S$70+.. and i got a box of Levis undergarment for him too (in spore).. hee hee~~.. Its so embarasing k cos it was a guy who serve me.. i think he was feeling embrassing too.. hahahaha

Johnny's departure to Taiwan
Johnny was back from Taiwan for the CNY holidays but sadly, due to my busy schedule, i'm not able to meet up with him during his stay here and ironically we only met on his departure date.. opps.. feel so paiseh.. Anyway, Shun and i ate at Fish & Co. in Changi Airport T2 before we send him off his for his flight. The food and service were good compared to the other branches.. Foodwise, i'm not too sure if its psychology at work or its realli nicer than other outlet.. haha.. anyway, as usual, we had seafood platter for two (our all-times favourite) and salmon salad.. i like the salmon salad... the salmon seems to be slightly cooked (erhm, cannot really see the difference in the outlook but it's confirm guarantee chop that it had been cooked before)

Vday
We didn't celebrate Vday this year.. Neither did we celebrate for the past years. hee hee~~ You know, being with a "mu na" meaning "stone" guy is a terrible thing. Dun expect flowers and occasional surprises from this type of guys because they are simply too "stone" to do it.. hahaha.. but under my constant nagging and complaining.. my man here finally did something that i was caught off guard on Vday. We went to work and sch on that day.. everything as usual.. we met for dinner at FOOD COURT before he sent me to work.. But i'm so surprised that he fetched me after work and accompanied me home.. and he gave me flowers. Oh man.. so touched.. cos he onli gave me flowers like twice (before this vday) throughout our courtship.. and its blue roses.. its a lot nicer than the previous flowers that he gave it to me.. and there is a heart-shaped thingy among the flowers with the words "Sweet Heart" on it.. so sweet of him.. and he gave me a Vday card and an empty CD but the top of the CD is decorated with all our pictures.. (But he did all those things in the short 3++ hrs while i'm at work) so "bo sim".. ok lah, at least its better than nothing. I appreciate that... love ya..
