HK Watercress Soup  

I order Watercress soup in a restaurant in Hong Kong and I really love its taste.

So here I am… stealing recipe by taking a picture of the ingredients scoop out from the pot.

PS: Why do I not see carrots (at all) in Singapore Watercress soup?

On The 'Light'House  

Am in The Lighthouse @ Fullerton Hotel to arrange for an event. After discussion, I knew this place is not ideal for that event but we stay on to have the degustation set as dinner. The food is fantastic and service is great (maybe because they thought I may use them for event). Plus panoramic view, I will definitely come back again. *make a note in mind good place for corporate dinner*


When we are done, we ask for the check as usual. The manager came smiling and politely tell us the bill was taken care of by the chef. Oh dear, we are surprise but quickly rejected the kind offer. We have done nothing to gain a free dinner!


The chef appear next and explain the dinner is a treat from him and hope that he can see us there again. Hmm... very sincere. I like his approach. Not because of the free dinner but he values future opportunities. We owe him one. THANKS AGAIN.

PS: I offer to at least pay for the wine but he insists he will buy the whole meal.

Alice in Wonderland and My virgin 3D experience  

Mr D is having his school holiday so we plan to watch Alice in 3D. I have him invited Mic along as I think they like to catch it together.




Alice is good. I like the idea that I get to watch my childhood fairytale in Tim Burton's way. Sit back, relax and watch. No more flipping the book, imagining Mad Hatter and reading aloud. The Queen of Hearts is super hilarious.


Can't say the same about the 3D experience. The 3D glasses is so b****y heavy that not only it stressed my nose out and leave ugly marks... it HURTS. *pain pain* I have to hold the glasses with my hand for more than 2 hours!!! I actually felt relieve when the movie is over. Sorry Tim, I like the show but not the pain.

PS: Not being princessy, Mr D agrees the glasses are ridiculously heavy too. Will someone tell me why the glasses need to weigh a ton?

Tawandang Microbrewery  

Today is my lazy Saturday and I HAVE to get out of my neighbourhood and venture. I have always wanted to try this place (heard about it) and here I come - Tawandang @ Dempsey.

The german beer is special and the thai food is delicious. I have to mention the stir-fry Morning Glory is the best I have ever had. I will recommend this place.

Kitaro Love & Planet Music Tour 2010  

Simply Brilliant!

This is the second time I've watched him live and totally speechless. The first time was in the 80s, before he was banned from Singapore for his long and wild tresses.

His Matsuri is still unbeatable and the coordination with the Singapore Team is excellent.

and Silk Road... great memories.

Morton's The Steakhouse  

My first.

I have never been and I do not know what to expect.

Not only the food is good, the service staff impress me. He can recite the menu - top to bottom, without looking or stopping in between. What is it about reciting the menu anyway? Why made the staff do that? I don't get it.

This crab leg is my main course. Totally love it. The tag is not pretty, trust me.

Movies I've watched in 2009  

26 movies in one year, that is on average 2 a month.

*lips pouting* I am not impressed.

Most of them I watched in cinemas but few I caught on the plane.

I will like to watch more movies in 2010.

*noted in mind* Make time and effort.

2 great movies over the weekend  

B-03 fell asleep while watching Nine. Urghh

And starts snoring... Urghhhhh Urghhhhh

B-04 *shakes arm* *fierce stare*

B-03 *awake*... ... not for long... ... *snores*

B-04 *looks around shamefully for a hole to hide*

PS: Need to defend Nine, it is a good movie albeit the disturbance.
