Dance like no one's watching

Celebrated my birthday at 7atenine with Iceman, Booze Queen & Azure last week.  We went to 7atenine at the Esplanade.  The ambience was nice and booze was very reasonably priced.  Food… not that great but I guess the environment made up for it.  The service staff were also polite and very pleasant.  Here’re some pics. […]

If you visit Taipei, visit Sugar & Spice (www.sugar.com.tw).  The feuilletage is really good. I bought the onion flavoured ones.  🙂

Jiufen’s an old mining town with lots of shops selling local specialties & tea houses.     To get to Jiufen, we took the MRT to Taipei Main Station, then changed to an express train to Ruifang.     Here’s a pic of the train station at Ruifang.   You can get lots of snacks […]

Booze Queen, AK and I didn’t join the day tour organised by Chan Brothers.  Instead, we visited Danshui and Jiufen on our own.  Danshui was quite a nice place to relax and pig out.  The smell of salt was so strong!  I don’t think the water would’ve been æ·¡ at all! Smelly Toufu can be […]

Kiki’s Restaurant – serves Sichuan dishes.  Opened by Matilda Tao & some other celebrities.   Kangkong with fermented beancurd.  Reaaaaallly good.   Mala beef – this is a must try!  The medium spicy mala soup leaves a tingly feeling on the tongue.  The beef was tender & absorbed the flavour of the mala.  Soooooooooooooooooo good! […]

Just got back from our company’s teambuilding trip to Taipei.  It was great!  The food and shopping at TPE is definitely cheaper than in SG or HK, though I really detest the motor bikes there!  Here’re some memories of the trip.   Saw this sign at the airport.  What a nice way of you’re drinking […]

Met a client for lunch today and visited a newly opened ramen place, Nantsuttei at Parco Marina Bay.  We arrived at 12:40pm and boy was the queue long.  We persevered and managed to get 2 seats at the counter at about 1pm. The menu at Nantsuttei is rather limited.  I had the chashu ramen and […]

  My cellgroup regularly visits the restaurants and cofeeshops along Siglap Road for lunch after church.  Chewbacca, who’s our usual cause of gluttony, suggested trying this “famous bak chor mee place” he’d seen while driving along Changi Road.  Thought it was slightly further from church that we thought, the place was pretty ok.  Located at […]

If u love eating chilli, then i suggest keeping a bottle of Japanese chilli oil at home. U see, i’m the sort who cannot survive without chilli, especially when eating Chinese food. I must have my fried rice with chilli padi, yee mian with green chilli, etc. If smokers find it hard to quit smoking […]

Booze Queen, Iceman, Azure and I decided to check out the steamboat buffet at Crystal one rainy evening in March.  $18.90++ seemed like a good deal since we wanted an air-conditioned place for dinner. For all who intend to go for it, do note that the “Spicy & Sour Tomato with Beancurd Soup” is not […]
