Wheat Baumkuchen @ One Raffles Place

This place was introduced by Ron and he always eat here for lunch. So just happened that i went to his office nearby to wait for him, he decided to bring me here for dinner. In fact, we came here about 8pm and the queue was still quite long. But we are lucky enough to find seats, even though the space is not big. I guess its because everyone here has this idea of "Eat and Go" rather than eat then chit chat. 

Bull Run Noodle ($8.00) -  Chicken with Green soba noodle. The portion was not very big but it turns out to be filling. Food not very oily. The noodle itself has not much taste so must mix well with the seasoning. 

Salmon Noodle ($9.00) - Salmon with Green soba noodle. The Salmon is abit dry compared to the chicken. 

Black soya milk ($1.60) - I really love this. It feels so healthy and nice. Its not sweet at all. But Ron did not like this, maybe its because its not sweet to him.

Llao Llao, The Frozen Yogurt

Llao Llao has been in Singapore for awhile and finally I got to try it just recently. Yes! Recently! This is because the queue at Llao Llao is always very long and so happened I am always rushing for meetings that I can't afford the time to queue till recently. 

Honestly, i think the Yogurt taste more like ice-cream. It does not have this typical yogurt taste. After my first mouth, i remembered saying "It has this strong milk taste! ". Then i realised that Llao Llao yogurt is make from Slimmed Milk. Subsequently when i mixed it with fruits and nuts, it tasted good!!! This made the experience better and i almost forgot that i am having yogurt because it just tasted like a healthy version of vanilla ice-cream.

I am quite excited to try this in Europe at the end of the year!!!

Boon Lay Raja Restaurant - Favorite Chinese Restaurant in the west ( Updated)

I am putting this down as part of my memories because this awesome restaurant will stop their operation end of this month (31st Mar 2015). The reason is because the man beside this Restaurant decided to retire after that. 

This Chinese Restaurant is located at Blk 135 Jurong Gateway Road, Level 2. Basically, they are 5 mins away from the MRT station and its directly besides JCube shopping mall. 

Since 2009, my family have been getting Peng Cai (盆菜) and Yusheng (魚生) for our family reunion dinner every year except 1 year we missed their closing date for their pre-order and have to buy from another reputable resturant which was really horrible. And yes, from that year onwards, we only buy Peng Cai from Boon Lay Raja. It is pity that they are closing. Honestly, they really served good food and it was never overpriced. 

Sometime, my papa will bring us over for dinner or even do take away  if we decided to eat at home. Usually, when we were there, we will order their set meal and if we are doing take away then we will do ala carte. Food was never too oily and the food was never too rich. And i guess thats the reason why we love about the place. 

Our favourite dishes:

- Roasted Crispy Duck with Mango Sauce

- Steamed crab 

- Sweet Yam Paste with Golden Pumpkin and Gingko Nut 

IndoChili Indonesian Restaurant Food Review

Ron and i are Indonesian food lovers. Whenever we are in Indonesian, we will definitely eat their local food because we simply enjoy it.  In Singapore, if we come across any stall or restaurant that sell Indonesian food, it is always the case... "Lets try it". Because we really miss the food in Indonesian. And recently, we found one that is REALLY good in Singapore that we really want to share.

IndoChili Indonesian Restaurant

IndoChili is the leading family friendly Indonesian Restaurant. They are the winner of Food Republic Hawker King Challenge and one of the restaurants rated 4.5 out of 5 by 8 Days Magazine. Currently the restaurant is located along Zion Road which is just opposite Great World City. The most important thing is they served authentic Indonesian food!!!!!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Given the space, it is spacious. It is also a ideal place for family/friends gathering. It is baby friendly too.  

This is really nice to know that the restaurant believes in NO MSG!!!!

Cah KangKung ($8.80) 

Tahu Telor ($8.80) - This beancurd omelette is a MUST order dish!!! I have to say that this is very very very yummy. The savory sweet peanuts sauce is way too awesome. Ron and i love it very much and it is by far the best Tahu Telor we have eaten. We give you 5/5.

 Sate Ayam Madura (5pcs) ($7.80) - The chicken was not tough and it went very well with their sauce. It is my favorite dish as well. 

Udang Bakar Jimbaran ($17.50) - Prawns were fresh.

Ayam Bakar Kecap ($8.80) - This grilled chicken was not dry at all and quite tender being the fact it was grilled. Ron's favourite dish. 

Left: Kiwi Cream Soda ($5.80) ; Right: Es Kopi Duren ($5.80)

If i have only one item to pick in the drinks menu. I will go for  Es Kopi Duren. Both of us really like this drink. Basically, its DURIAN COFFEE ice blended. It is very rich and tasty. Honestly, I am missing it now.

Overall, it was a satisfied dinner for sure. Food was authentic and nice. Ron said their food "有水准"  (Got standard) with good customer service. We will come back for sure, specially for Es Kopi Duren and Tahu Telor.

Kueh Lapis Legit Durian (Medium) ($32.00) - I wanted to buy home the original flavor but they have sold out. This shows how good the Kueh Lapis is. But lucky, we managed to get this which has durian flavor. Ron bought home the medium size and ask the staff in the restaurant to cut it half for us. So this is the half portion for my family. Try and Tasted! Thumbs up.!

W39 Bistro & Bakery Brunch Review

Our love for brunch carry on to 2015.

Since its the first brunch of the year, we decided to go somewhere new. And here we were.......  

W39 bristro and bakery

A hidden gem in the west of Singapore. 

The cafe is situated at West Coast. The actual address is 39 Jalan Mas Puteh. The closest MRT station will be Clementi MRT, however it's going to be a super long walk. So I suggest to take bus 78 from Clementi MRT station.

The space of the cafe consider  acceptable. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. The decor of the place gives a nostalgia feel. They have 1 small little corner that sells handmade wallets, cookies for Chinese New Year and snacks that kids ate in the 80s. Its pretty interesting though. 

We were greeted by this little name tag upon seating down. And I really like it because I find it very so personal. I remembered the other cafe that had this little name tag was Five and Dime Cafe. 

I would say the price of the food here is consider more wallet friendly. I am quite excited of going back soon for their Mee Siam because i saw many of their customers ordered that too. So i supposed it must be good!!

Brie Parma Ham Panni ($10.50) - When the dish was served i really think that it was nothing special. However, i was really wrong. The truffle oil brings this to a whole new level. I will give this 5/5. 

Eggs Benedict ($10) - Good. This is definitely yummy and cheap.  

Salted Caramel ($6.80) - Not too rich and its just right. I will give this 5/5.

Cafe Mocha ($5.00) - Its nice to complete our meal with a cup of coffee. 

Overall, this place is affordable and food is very good. I will come back again for sure because i want to try their Mee Siam, Hearty breakfast and also more cakes too!!

Amazon purchase had arrived

Yeah.. My goods had arrived! My brother and I got ourselves some items off the amazon.comduring the Black Friday Day sale. During the Black Friday Day, there were messy discounts for most of the items. We were given free shipping because our total bill was more than 125usd. However, not all the items direct ship to Singapore so if you really like the item, have to get a 3rd party shipping company. 

I got myself a pair of white heels from Nine West at a great discount. It was really a steal. The shipping took about 2 weeks to Singapore. And it was delivered by Singpost. 

Tada!!! The 2 big boxes here. On the left is my heels!! 

Planning to keep the new heels for either Chinese New Year or ROM.

Its was my first time buying from Amazon. 

Overall, i am a happy customer. Will buy it again next year.

Our Pre Wedding Photoshoot with idoidobali.com (IDO IDO BALI)

I have never dream of a overseas pre wedding shoot. When it was our turn, we took it in Bali.

I am really thankful that I found Ido Ido Bali that did our pre wedding shoot. I have to say that we had a enjoyable experience with Ido Ido Bali. They are very honest and flexible people. The most important is they listened to our requirements and there were no hidden charge. All the payment and what need to be paid stated clearly way before we pay the deposit. In fact, they did not give us any "surprise" which we were very thankful about. They did more than what they promised which impressed us the most.

Ido Ido Bali is a bridal shop in Bali. In fact, they are very close to the airport. It provides a one-stop service including professional prewedding photo tour,wedding candid photo shots, elegant decorations,bridal make-up and hairstyles, a large inventory of wedding gowns and groom suits, a wedding planner and exclusive album making.

The day before the shoot, we went down to the bridal shop to do our fitting. Then the next day, we went down to the bridal shop at 9am to start my makeup. Yes, they did the alteration of the gown within 1 day. In fact, you can bring your own gown for the photoshoot too. 

In the mid of doing my makeup and hair

And we are good to go

The whole process was a enjoyable one. We had 2 photographers that did our shoot. One is the main photographer and the other one is the trainee. Not only that we have 2 makeup artists that followed us the whole day to change my hair, touch up my makeup and also changing my gown to the beach dress. From location to location, transport was provided.   

Overall, we were very happy with their service and photography skill.

We took their package that priced at USD 1080 that included 2 gowns, 2 suits, all the raw and simple edited pictures (at least 200 copies). 

Here are some of our favorite pictures:
