Silk Road to spicy haven

Lunch yesterday was really 'sensational'. We went to a Sichuan restaurant in Amara hotel, which I've read much good reviews before, but never had a chance to patronize it.

Since Colleen was paying, plus knowing how Tina can take her spices, I thought the Silk Road would be a great choice.

Thankfully, most of the guests were happy with the selection - minus Uncle Lam, whose ultra sensitive mouth, couldn't take more of the spicy-ness.

We had the '八宝茶' which was almost everyone's favourite. We had french bean, some toufu thingie which was the appetiser, 宫堡 frog leg and spicy beef cubes.. actually can't really remember what I chose as I just selected anything that had 'chef's' recommendation.

Two thumbs up and will be glad to come back anytime we decide to numb our lips and give our stomach a spicy overhaul.

This little piggy went wee, wee, wee all the way home

After belly dancing class today, still felt hungry so I helped myself to one of m favourite snacks - 'golden' pig which is something you can get usually only around mooncake festival period.

Isn't she cute??

Ajisen Ramen

After my run today... I'm feeling hungry again. So we went to Ajisen Ramen at Novena Square as I wanted something soupy.

I ordered the "tenderous ribs"- nan kotsu - ramen which is my favourite eversince my brother introduced them to me about a year plus back. We ordered the sets and had white fish as well as crab croquette.

Oh, and I got a bit bored and decided to experiment with functions of my phone camera (some of which I didn't I had...kekeke).

Swenson's

Yummy... after a good jog today, time to reward myself with a 'happy meal'. So we went to Swenson's at United Square and 'creamed' myself out.

Had the cream of vegetable soup, and then the prawn and fruit salad, chicken & mushroom spaghetti (but no cheese... if it helps) and then ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!

Our sets came with a scoop of ice cream already (I originally chose black forest flavour but did a last minute swap with mum for her macademia nuts one), but we ordered more after that.

Sigh, better make sure I do something with my cream overload tomorrow.

Good morning Sunday

Good run, good sun, good fun! Finished 8.24km in 55m36s. Had breakfast at Old Town with my standard nissin noodle with sausage and egg. The hazelnut white coffee was alright as well.

Went for a short walk after breakfast and saw a cute white 'shih tzu' following its master.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Pu Tien, 我来咽！

We were going to watch "The Proposal" last night and as all foodies will do, they'd meet up first to fill their stomachs before the main agenda began.

We went to Pu Tien in Food Republic, Vivocity. The taste was good for most of them but we did order alot.

I liked the noodles and the fried brinjal best. The spinach and stewed tofu were good, but a bit disappointed with the tofu.

Somehow I think I tasted squid or something, which is a taste I don't quite fancy.

Once again, time always seem to fly by quickly. Whilst we were enjoying ourselves over dinner, we had to wrap up to collect our movie tickets. As for the review of the movie, it was quite alright. There were some really funny moments but the storyline a bit far out - to turn from hate to love in a short span of 3 days seems too much like fairytale. But nevertheless, since we are fans of Sandra Bullock, we did enjoy it overall.

Can't wait for next outing!:)

TCS Mad Hat Party

Prior to the party of the night, had a quick dinner at Sketches in Robertson Walk and unfortunately, was a bit disappointed. I remember Sketches being pretty good at pasta but the order I had was so-so and almost below average.

The cream soup was 'cold'. The pasta bolognese was average and perhaps it was my fault for ordering it in the first place (I was originally eyeing the aglio olio with tiger prawns), it was boring and the pasta wasn't dried out enough - water from the pasta diluted the tomato based sauce.

I had more fun at the mad hat themed party than Sketches. Happy Birthday to Sia!
